We fished are match up there yesterday. I fished the doc house only seen 1 seal but it was the biggest one I've ever seen.

Last week there was a few real big ones knocking about off the harbour at Whitby. One was a monster.

Yep, was at Doctors house today - thought I might be the only one but first thing everyone said at the weigh in was "never seen so many seals as today!" At one point I reeled in, not a seal in sight, turned my back for a moment to clip on my next trace and when I turned around I counted 26 heads right in the 50 sq. yds. or so where I'd been chucking!! More were bobbing up as a few started to go under, so I waited a minute or two and they re-surfaced a few hundred yards down to my right. Never saw one in the last hour mind you.....

Did you catch?

Did you catch?

Yep, once they'd cleared off - never had a sniff while they were around. Probably just as well as I reckon any fish I'd have hooked would have been bitten off before I could get them in!

Where did you fish Gary

Where did you fish Gary

On the little island just to the right (as you look out to sea) of the doctor's house. Four hours and fifty minutes without a bite, then got one 4lb 13oz - by the time I chucked out again I only had five minutes till the end of the match & couldn't manage another one; I'm sure if I'd had another hour I'd have gotten one or two more.
