saturday - cape cod bay.

I only got to see the pictures, but redilte was there, so he'll have details.

I'll be out tomorrow, I hope it's as good of a day.

I saw a school of them about two weeks ago in the Town River. There were about 8 of them swimming along the side of my boat. Very cool to see.

Moose Knuckle...I am 100% sure that what you saw were Harbor Porpoise...they are a very special creature and have been all over the inner harbor lately...you can learn about them on the SaveTheHarbor/SaveThe Bay web site....

Fishsmith probably saw the whitesided ocean badboys that come through the canal all the time
