Cool sighting yesterday

While out albie fishing we thought we saw a bunch of breaking fish, so as we got closer, I killed the engine when I noticed it was a pod of about 20-30 dolphins. never seen them this close to shore. We started tapping the side of the boat and they would come right up and we were literally petting them. Pretty cool way to top off a good day fishing.

......wow, that's pretty cool.....heard the same story but different, my 70+ yr old father was fishing from the rocks in YOUR picture...he told me this morning that he saw the school of dolphins and that a boat got really close to them to take pictures....

he said the school was rather LARGE too.

How's that for coincidence....

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
