Spent the afternoon on the water. Yes, it is whale watching time again! It has been a little over 4 months since the last whale watching trip. Today was opening day: the first trip of the year with Jersey Shore Whale Watch. It was a great crowd and the anticipation was high. Many of the people had never seen a whale before and if they did, they saw it in Hawaii. Although the sky was mostly clear, the winds were from the east causing some rough seas. Started off heading north to Asbury Park and then went south. Saw fish on the fish finder and was hoping a whale would be around. We tried finding the whales but unfortunately, it was not meant to be. The good news, everyone comes back for free. Got to talk to people from Philly, northern Jersey and even from Germany. I sure wish we would have found some whales.
Monday update whales were spotted breaching this morning in Bay Head NJ k=just 2 miles from where we were.
5 whales this morning off Belmar Beach March 8th 2023
