hey i went out lastnight from LC. went from the 2nd to the 3rd casting storms and had a great time catching schoolies til 10pm. Thing is when we first started there was so much bait that the FF was almost solid. fish ranged from 19-23in.. very fun on lite tackle. Any way i was looking back to see if the birds had followed us and noticed a tanish grey animal in the wash .. Im pretty sure it was a seal. I have never seen one at the bridge, but i know what a seal looks like.. Anyone else put an eye on this critter??

See them every year...more so in the winter months. They hang out alot around the second and third island tubes.

Out west they are in huge Packs,its unnatural to see a solo Seal and every time I have seen it it has been solo.I wonder if it has a mate.

Been told the critter you have been seeing is a Harbor Seal ive seen it mutiple times at 3rd this year . It seems to want to keep a safe distance.............
