Spotted Dolphins Save The Trip!

With experimental trips come unexpected results.  While the goal was to chum in silky and scalloped hammerhead sharks – Mother Ocean had different ideas.  Big sloppy seas made for bone crunching trips offshore, and despite the freshest bait and chum, sharks were few and far between.  Maybe it was the relentless and stiff east wind – and as fisherman say - east is least!  But on the final day we ran across a lost Spotted Dolphin pod that has not been seen in some time, and never before in this location.  I consider spotted being among the most beautiful of toothed whale species, and even better, they are the most social I have encountered.  They stayed and swam among us for over an hour. 

And back on shore the alligators took care of snapping at our lenses anyway.  To the next time my shark friends!
