yeah probably started about a month ago but Spring has sprung for most lakes and throughout the river.

Here come the masses of bed fishermen. Don’t think it’s good for the fishery.

Ha! Well maybe this year there will be enough ocean food for them to not have to eat freshwater bass. We can only hope.

Saw several sea lions over the weekend . So one eating about a 5 pound bass . They are smart I've watch them run the shallows and chase down the spawning bass . Worst thing for the fishery and they have no enemies in the delta water system nothing to eat our kill them beside a 22 lol. I think its time for fish and game to work on relocating our give us a season on them .

I’ve only seen them eat two or three times it was always about a five pound carp. I hear they like to eat the bellies out of bass.

If a sealion comes up onto my boat, what can I do, legally?

Great question... When is it considered a life or death situation?

I doubt anyone would notice if you took one out. Down here all we have is carp to shoot.

I'm serious. Now that they're everywhere and seem fearless, what can I do if I get boarded? Can I carry bear spray? Would it work?

Per regulations you can use any non lethal form of deterrent. Pepper balls, paint balls, salt loads, I’ll try to find the link I found and posted a couple years ago.

Thank you.
Do you think bear spray would work to keep them away?
