I highly recommend it..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tony · 01-29-2011, 05:32 PM

Today I took a walk along Coast Blvd. in La Jolla checking out the water and ended up at the Children's pool. Lots of people along the seawall and the beach was clear except for 2 guys in lawn chairs just relaxing. I listened to the Friends of the Seals lecture the tourists about how these 2 guys were killing baby seals just by their presence on the beach. So of course I had to join the guys on the beach....nice dudes that were fed up with the BS and misinformation
Soon after the Seal ladies started chanting "get off the beach" slogans and we ignored them. As the tide came in the seals started to land and we soon had a dozen seals nearby on the beach. This sent the seal lovers into a frenzy and they chanted louder and louder. So loud that a couple of seals freaked out and went back into the water. One by one other people started to join us. Soon after we spotted a diver coming into the beach and guess what? He was surrounded by about 20 seals and they followed him onto the beach. (guess the seals thought he had some fish or something..)
The seal ladies were going into epileptic brain trauma shit fits, and continued to chant and called for backup eco-terrorists and the cops. The cops didnt show I guess because they've dealt with these wackos before. More and more seals came up onto the beach clearly not disturbed by our presence while the heads of the seal lovers exploded like that scene from "Mars Attacks".
It was Glorious!
If you ever want to stick it to eco-terrorists I highly recommend it......

After I surf Hospitals in the morning, my friends and I are going to pay the Seal Lady a visit. Anyone have a megaphone I can barrow?

LMAO! Hurray for you, and anyone else joining in.
No doubt they are probably some of the same eco-wackos that think it's necessary to close down our fishing areas.

This sounds like fun. Next time I am in the area, I plan to plop a beach chair down and read a good book. Who knows, we could have a revolution in the making.

In case you did not get the memo, the City of SD has hired a ranger whose job will be to keep the peace at the CP. She does not start for a couple months. I do not know what her marching orders are but I suspect that the main job will be to keep the two legged visitors from fighting over the critters with flippers.

It is almost pupping season. At least the Children's Pool will have some young guests for the next few months. Too bad they will not be Children.

The new kayak launch (childrens pool) . it insane how many seal and SEALIONS there are now . I swim in the caves and cove with 700 lb. sealions , my daughter and I have named a few . I have never in 38 yr in our waters seen , so many Mammals . if the seals over pop. the DGF will have to step in , then see what the seal lovers do . My family and I use to hang out at the childrens pool , until not so friendly people started hanging around the wall . so we moved to casa beach and get pounded

. thanks for being friends of the seals boyz .

I had my girls down at the childrens pool area last summer and listened to the information, er, mis-informatiom the FOS ladies were giving out. I suppose thier little speech might go over with people who knew little or nothing about seals, the ocean, marine biology, or history. Thier's is an emotional appeal that works great on people like them. They can not understand how or why you could disagree with them because they know they're right. The FOS rep told me that seals have been pupping on this beach for thousands of years. I said that the childrens pool beach was an artificial construction that is not very old. She said there was a beach here before the sea wall was built and the seals used that beach for thousands of years. I pointed at the California flag, you know, the flag of the "Bear Flag Republic" and told her that grizzlies used to roam all over our state, including our beaches, and that seals would never pup on a coastal beach where bears lived. She looked at me with a superior patronizing look on her face and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. Ya right, that must be it. Great job not letting these wakos drive you off your beach. Mike
