They're Everywhere!

[Jet Ski Brian]

I went out for a little while on my jet ski off of Virginia Beach and experienced all the weather conditions possible. Calm seas at first, then drizzle and steady rain. A wind shift with gust up to 25 knots. Then the sun came out nicely, all in about 2 hours.
I had no luck on the Striped Bass nor did I see or hear of one caught. I friend of mine on the blue Hydra Sports did have brief hook up with a Blue Fin Tuna that hit like a freight train and broke the line after a ten minute battle.
The phenom off of the Virginia coast continues, every direction I looked I could see some either close by or off in the distance. It has made all my trips even more exciting. If you do not have a boat then you should take one of the whale watching tours from the Virginia Aquarium or the Rudee Flipper. A ten minute ride and you are guaranteed to see what is a once in a life time memory for many.
Here are some pictures. The whale breaching was way off so it is fuzzy.

Im willing to bet that your buddy in the blue boat snagged a whale :)

THANKS FOR THE PICS. I own the yellow scout and its cool to get a pic from anothers perspective. The whales were all over your friends boat so I second that he probably snagged one. We lost a brand new daisy chain as one popped up right behind the boat in the middle of our spred. i cut the line as soon as it took off and the whale came up with it across her back. Hope a striper does not take a run at the lures hanging off her back...lol

Great pictures. Gives a whole new perspective when you see the whales so close to your boat (or in your case - ski). Love the one that came all the way up. Impressive.
