Re: Close encounters
Awesome Franco. Being new to the area I'm definitely in awe each day on the water. I also grabbed a great shot of an Osprey with a fresh catch that was still jumping around in his talons.
We've been in the water and had a group of manatees swim by, that so far has been the best experience.

Re: Close encounters
yesterday me and my better half (I really mean that)
were driving across the wabasso bridge and saw a pod of dolphin feeding in 3 feet of water on a school of trout! Willy and I came thru that section of the river when he came to visit.This is the second time we have seen that, first time we saw it it looked like an explosion under the water, with 10 or 12 dolphin tearing up some dinner, lasted maybe 10 minutes before they scattered. PS. We were going to the tackle shop, she was curious as to where I wanted gift certificates to for christmas!

Re: Close encounters
Who was kiddin ;D
Coolest thing I ever saw in the ocean was when I took the kids to the coast of Maine to camp etc. We were up on a bluff about 150 feet from the water below. We looked out and I saw the water in the little bay and it was beautiful blue color. All of a sudden right in the middle, an area about 50-60 feet in diameter started swirling like a giant toilet bowl and the center was sparkling with some kind of what appeared to be baitfish. I mean the water was was really spinning, all of a sudden a whale comes shooting straight up thru the middle and launches in the air like a Trident missile. Mouth wide open. Landed with a huge splash and disappeared into the swirling water. A minute or two later another one did the same. This went on for about fifteen minutes, one whale after another, don't know what kind they were but it was like watching something from another world. When they were finished the water just stopped swirling and you could see the pod moving off thru the channel area sounding and spouting as they went. I felt like a very humble fisherman that day.
