Yesterday morning, I was on a boat at 5:30am to go fishing for salmon in Monterey Bay. I didn’t end up catching any salmon — in fact, only one guy in the whole group caught one — but I did catch a few other fish, including a sand dab.
The trip wasn’t a wash, though: we saw a pod of orcas fairly early in the morning. They actually made a kill right near our boat! There were some yearlings with them as well. I never expected to see killer whales live in person. Unfortunately I didn’t get any shots of the orcas because I was too busy fishing. I did, however, get some cool shots of the pre-dawn Bay!
