but the real thrill wasn't another 22" fluke on my last of three snapper after 3 hours without a bite on them. I was drifting and fishing among what I think were dolphins or porpoises, something that I have never done before, on my old boats or the kayak. There were at least four of these "predators" hunting in a pack and usually completely next to each other. Peanuts were scattered all over. The attached photos do no do the excitement (yes, even at 73 I still get excited about wildlife) justice. Can anyone verify from these admittedly lousy photos what I saw?

Definitely exciting to see. We were about 200 yds east of the second Wantagh.

That last pic sure looks like a shark dorsal.Which was initially my first thought when it / they were 50 yds off. But the synchronized movements in decimating the peanuts said “mammal brain!” When they were within 6 feet (no pix) there was little doubt besides dolphins or porpoises. I am probably lucky they didn’t flip me.

The top pics look like dolphin dorsals.
The bottom pic is way different and looks like a shark. A LOT like a shark.
There was a shark way up in Freeport canal a couple years ago.

The top pics look like dolphin dorsals.Depends on where it was at in its dive when the camera snapped if its the same dolphin
