Dear Moldy,
Yesterday we watched a pod of dolphins chase a school of fish into the shallows. We assumed the dolphins were rounding up Mullet, but they turned out to be jacks - big ones. Amazing to see how violent dolphins can be, especially to a 15+ pound fish.

Hello Moldy Chum,
What a spring break! Headed home from Bellingham to Half Moon Bay, CA to catch up on some fishing at Pillar Point. I brought my 5wt along with me and was dredging bottom with a chartruese clouser, only to end up with an hour and fifteen minute fight with this behemoth bat ray.
Hope you enjoy,
