on the way back in had 2 or 3 dolphins swim past me in Massapequa Cove. Was shocked last year when I say a pod of 4-5 on the opposite side of biltmore shores, and then hooked into a sand tiger shark while livelining snappers just off the same waterfront homes. I never caught another keeper after the dolphin pod and shark last year 😢

sad that I never got another keeper last year after the sightings, but to see dolphins in the back bay after never seeing them in 50 years makes getting skunked an afterthought. Last year it was much later in the season as I was livelining snappers. They were too smart to take my snapper, unlike the shark. Saw a large turtle a week or two ago, and now "Flipper" and friends. Water less polluted ? ( We have had sewers here (south Nassau) since the 1960s and Babylon also so who knows?)

Many Porpoise cruising Jamaica bay for the last couple of years and the fluking has not been good since.

Dolphins were back in Massapequa Cove this morning. Couldn't get a pic.as they are not very photogenic. I got one short fluke and let the onshore blow me back to the ramp. Two different boats must have tried netting bunker (?) for at least an hour. No idea how successful they were but usually I can see bunker as I paddle by. Not this year, not so far in Massapequa.
