Lots of fish off the waterfront today, but just about as many seals. We had twelve fish on this morning from Macaulay and across the harbour mouth. Seven (seven!) went to the seals. We got almost all of our gear back but it was seriously frustrating. We released two and kept a small spring each, three altogether. We started with a UV hootchie and a purple coho killer and stuck with them until a seal took the spoon and then a purple squirt worked just as well. The fish came from at or near the bottom and their stomachs had what looked like small herring in them. The rain held off and the water was calm.
