we left the dock at 7:30, just as we were going by 6 mile reef my wife said "What are those big things jumping." At first I thought they were harbor seals. But they were Porpoises, 3 of them. they were moving fast also. We were able to get a couple of pictures.

Now I chase them for about 20 minutes. so we seen enough. now we are back on route to montauk. right after i went through plum gut is see something in the water. well it ended up being a seal. here are the pics of him.

Now for the Fluke. The bite dosent start till the afternoon and it isnt that great.We fished for 2 hours and only for 1 short. Some of the local boats were catching but not many keepers. to finish the day we docked at montauk for a few hours to have lunch and my wife can shop.
She did out fish me again. So i got no fish and spent about $500 for the day.

I lucky I got her to hold it at all. i asked her about the towel. she said "Because I dont touch fish" I think she didnt want to mess up her nail polish. look at this picture. She has a glove on that goes half way up her arm. LOL

Now look at the nails on wraped around the rod

I guess Im her personal Captain, I bait the hooks, take off her fish and Clean the boat and gear. Im still for me fee for the trip. I think its going to be a long wait.

Good to see you here Pat. I went to West Haven early Sunday and Quinni on Sunday as well. So much wind, no fish, nothing but sand in my ear.

I'm certain there's fish there too, just not a great day with the wind and tides
