Stripers and whales 2/4/12

[limblips]

Lots of bailt and marked fish but there was no joy in Mudville. Heard of some boated (one was 64 lbs) and a few bluefin. The highlight of the day was the whales within 1/2 mile of the beach! Only had the cell camera so I missed some great full body out of the water shots.

Cape Henry! We saw some whales too. Filled our limit of 10 in an hour back on Jan. 14 but only snagged a couple the following day and a shark.

Even saw a Navy Hoovercraft.

That was an ambitious little shark.

I know. His mouth was really small yet he tried to swallow that large lure. It's a dog shark.

Few questions:
Where in Mudville were you..better yet..where were you ?
What kind of whales? The profile reminds me of humpbacks.
What kind of fish is a bailt?
What are marked fish? Marked for death or some thug activity?

Bluefin I know..same with stripers, as we call them in Buzzards Bay..but the others...:shrug:

bailt = bait (typo) schools of menhaden/alwives
marked = saw them on the fishfinder

If you're marking bait and/or fish, you're seeing the blips on the fishfinder.

Fished out of Rudee Inlet on Saturday, but didn't manage to get a bluefin. Saw plenty of humpbacks and an aircraft carrier though.
