Being that it was Labor Day Weekend I headed down to Cape May Friday afternoon. I stayed at the Harbor View
longer then I should have on Friday night. Saturday morning I wasn’t sure what
to do, NOAA was predicting North Winds 10-15, after a while I purchased some
bait and headed out of the slip by 8:00. I started off heading towards Reef
Site 11, which is a 16 mile run. The sea conditions weren’t too bad, but not
great either, so I decided to go over to the Cape May
point. I only caught 1 short flounder over there and a few other junk fish.
Then it started to rain. I packed up and started heading towards the inlet.
After a short run I was out of the rain.
I noticed the Whale and Dolphin Watching boat as I was
heading towards the inlet, so I decided to slow down and see if there were
Dolphins in the area. There were probably about 20 Dolphins around. We see
Dolphins quite often when we head out fishing. Some of them were putting on a
good show, jumping completely out of the water. It was pretty entertaining,
especially compared to the pathetic fishing I had been doing.
As we were watching the Dolphins I heard a loud roar heading
towards us, and saw a pretty big rooster tail too. This is what zipped flying
by within a few seconds; he must have been doing well over 50 knots.
I ended up doing a little more fishing, but had no luck. I
should have gone out to Reef Site 11.
