The big ones are awesome for pop corn lobster.

Nice catch!

Didn't any seals cause you problems? They've screwed with our bait cages the only 2 trips we've been out to Z, even with cable ties last time. It's one particular seal, we believe, but he's good at it.

If you don't mind, what bait are you using?
Thanks.

I have not had many seal problems all year. Go figure. last year was brutal but this year not so much.

PM sent on the rest.

Last time I was out there they got to me, and where I have been messed with before by seals, they have never broken into my cages. They tore apart three cages and stole all my bait, and I secure my cages pretty snug. Thankfully all the lids were still there and I had a zip lock bag of extra bait and a bunch of zip ties or I would have been down to two hoops.

I have heard of guys welding nails to their cages to keep the dogs away, but that could puncture a yak if you arent careful, and if you put to many on there, it probably would prevent the bugs from being able to get to the bait.

Try thick zip ties on the top of your bait cage. Cut them to a point about a half to one inch long. They get a good poke from those.

The down side is....the ties get caught up in everything.

Damn good idea.

I attach my bait ages OTW, and take them off for the ride in, so it souldnt be a hassle for me. And I got loads of thick zip ties! I am baiting up my cages tonight and gonna see what I can do.
