was up in nootka, and esperanza for one last trip last fall late sept... I was shocked at the amount of seals and sea lions that had moved in in the nootka area. they were literally everywhere. alot at the mouth of esperanza also. seemed like they were stacked up waiting to home in on the coho that were starting to come in... they were doing a good job of outfishing us at that time... seemed like about ten times the amount that were around compared to july, august.
