but I go to beaches in Orleans (Nauset) or Wellfleet (Cahoon Hollow - to really go to the Beach Comber) and there are always seals.
First sign of seals no matter how far away and I'm like Chief Brody yelling at my kids to get out of the water. And you see idiots running into the water trying to get as close to seals as possible.
It's almost Darwinian. Not saying it's the case here, but it's just a matter of time with some of these people and their approach to wild life.
High tide two evenings in a row the area was thick with bait fish. We caught a bunch of mackerel.
We were hoping to pick up a striper, but no luck.
Thursday morning we fished the Cape Cod Canal and people were catching some big stripers, keepers.
My neighbor fishes the canal multiple times a week, he says he catches fish but I've never gone with him, but I've seen the pictures, I believe it. He's seems to have had some success there.
I prefer Block Island to the Cape, but both have good fishing, I'm more interested in charter boats than surf casting though.
before someone was bitten. I was on all the major beaches on the Cape last summer and the seals are everywhere, Big ones too.. We never went into the water when the seals were present which was often.
and sightings may be too (though I disagree that actual sightings were common until drones) and seals are every where there.
but there has been 7 shark bites in Massachusetts since 1830.
two this century. three the entire twentieth century.
So as "ho hum shark attack on the Cape" as some people might want to be, this is pretty rare. Who knows, maybe it becomes more common, but so far no indication it will.
