Reasonable viz at hope cove, probably the best shelter from the wind in the area. Few mullet around but no bass. Was eyed up a bit by a seal, not come across one so close before other than on a kayak. Any advice regarding seals? Are they aggressive or just curious? If you have fish on a stringer either on belt or float, what should you do?

It will definitely bite you and leave you for dead; horrible scary b@$#ds.
I mistook one for my fat boy spearo bud Alan once
as I swam closer and closer Alan seemed to get bigger and bigger..until I was right on the big bull seal; he wasn't happy to see me on his territory.
Back surfing when I lived in newquay 21 years ago there was a one eyed seal that used to knock us off our boards and bite feet!
I'm very uncomfortable when wet with a big male next to me.

I rather optimistically tried on Monday night near Wonwell. Was horrible, uncomfortable swell and less than a meter viz.
I`ll be down visiting friend this weekend, hoping to hit a few of my old haunts on monday - I`ll let you know how I go!
I have just been fishing at hopes nose Torbay , the vis is 1-2 metres and pretty windy and choppy in the bay .... there are 4 seals at hopes nose and are stealing so many fish and tackle off anglers it is beyond a joke !!! Hope to get in diving some where Friday Ssouth Hams way , forecast looks good ,winds turning northerly so should help .. season seems to be struggling to get going.. very few catch reports .
