Title: Raritan Bay Whale! 10-24-14
Post by: Hunter 2 on October 25, 2014, 07:16:56 AM
Trolled Friday afternoon with Jersey Joe from the Reach 20 area to the 10 bouy.  Spotted a black whale feeding on all the baitfish in the area between the 10 bouy and Old Orchard rock pile.  Trolled outside the hook too.  I marked tons of bait and some fish but no takers.

Read this post to my wife and she told me that back in the 80s she was fishing in Quincy with her late Husband in a little Whaler when they had a Orca follow them around for a few hours, she said it was so close you could almost reach out and touch him or her ;D She said the whale would come up and look at the boat and then submerge just being curious.
