Funny line about dancing with them Phat.

A couple of them moved into Murrell's inlet SC last year. I didn't see them but thought it was a bit unusual.

I don't know much about them. Do they heard up in the open ocean? Can you see them on the surface? Or are they mainly a back-water creature?

where are they indigenous?

I no worry we don't have them, but let me tell you would like nothing more then if they put a bounty on Seals!!

What problems you been having with seals MJ?

The heard has been growing here for a long time!! Use to see them kin the fall and winter, but they live here all year long now and the number has grown to the thousands!
They eat all the inshore fish and bait, all the surf fishing on the outer cape has become nothing and if you do get a fish the seal will steal it right off your rod!
Even the boat fishing has become lame, I have not been to the outer cape in at least 5 years as its not worth it anymore.

down here in the south, nutria eat marsh and make trails in the marsh like there is no tomorow. they are a nuisance and not indegenious. if you get a liscense which isnt hard to obtain the tails are $5 a pop. when they are out they are easy targets.
