Here's a cool pic from Delaware taken today.
Two 50 ft Northern Right Whales came into
the Indian River inlet.

Inlets are great places to see relatively unusual offshore species. In NJ, there are no resident populations of whales, but we are on the migratory path.

More often when striper fishing, you can encounter porpoises, but there was an occasion last fall where some smaller whales were crashing jetties
from which anglers were targetting Striped Bass!! Way Cool to watch, but not great for fishing :)
