Had a few run ins with mako sharks. First time and probably the only time I ever saw stripers jump out of the water like a bunch of bait fish......which in that case they were.

Seals....I keep seeing them very early in the mornings in the Fall at one spot, so creepy how all you see is a round outline of its head going at a pace at equal speed of the current but in the opposite direction. Never cranked a lure in so fast.

It always amazes me how so many species of aquatic life in the ocean come so close to shore when they could easily find bait and structure elsewhere. Also offshore how many species come to the surface when it is so deep...
