Today was a very interesting day on the water! First time ever I saw a pod of whales in less than 50 feet of water!! I believe they were right whales, but I’m no whale expert. Honestly, I was more concerned with moving my vessel than getting pics or video. They popped up about a boat length away. My friend got some I think. I can’t get through to him, tho. I think his wife is giving him a hard time because he left without her, lol. She wouldn’t wake up on time. We also saw: at least a dozen bottle nose dolphins, four military planes flying in formation that I cannot name and acres of bunker. A bit upset that I lost my cavitation plate zink and now I need to replace my prop, also. Glad I have a spare. As for the fishing, we caught a boat load of sea robins and some short fluke. The kids had a ball with them (little squirrel and buddy’s daughter). It’s amazing how much smack these kids can talk, lol. I can’t wait for the 23rd when sea bass opens!!! If we have the right conditions, I am thinking about a night trip to the inlet for stripers on the 21st. Night of the new moon, moon set and sunset almost the exact same time (fast current) which both coincide with the beginning of the ebb. I need wind out of the North quarter @ 7-10 knots and no rain but cloud cover. A slight falling barometer wouldn’t hurt either.

I would be dropping lines by 7 also, but this guy is consistently late. When we hunt together I tell him to be ready an hour before I wanna meet up with him. Forgot to do that today.

Utica Cutlery Survival Knife
squirrelwhisperer replied to airedale's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
I’ve been a Benchmade guy for a while now, but that is one nice looking knife. How many knives does one man need? At least one more. I have to check them out now. I wonder if they make custom items. There is a very particular blade I want but cannot find. I may need to go to a bladesmith. -
I want pics when they hatch!

Woodchuck season 2020
squirrelwhisperer replied to dbHunterNY's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
Not that I have the opportunity, but would my Ruger 10/22, .22LR work for the varmints, or would I need a diff caliber? -
Up having coffee. Gonna wake little squirrel soon. I told my buddy to be here at 630, lets hope he shows before 8, lol. Tide waits for no man! Low water at the inlet at 8am. Should be nice out there today.

What kind of grouping did you get? What distance?

Political humor

He probably forgot he did that -
Have you.... Please don’t answer. Even though I know we are all thinking it, lol.
