Seals will usually tug then wait for you to put pressure on to pull the hook off the bait. Then they will come to the surface to flip you off. I'm sure Mark(Fish11) will chime in on what his thoughts are on seals.

Alright then, now that i know what im working against and seal tactics im going to have to be more vigilant in where i decide to fish as well factoring the feeding times dogs like roam around. As everybody knows, after like the 3rd-4th time getting your bait torn off it gets old fast.

Keep you bait tight to the yak and keep an eye on it. You can hear the seals coming if you listen closely. Reel fast and get the bait out of the water and back in your tank until you relocate or seals get bored and move on.
