Ryan went to look where we left the action yesterday, a few miles from the harbor in front of the Balboa Pier. We came across a small group of about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">30 common dolphin<\/span> here, with quite a few mom and babies mixed in. Moving out to sea, we went about 5 more miles before finding a really good area of dolphins and shearwaters. There was at least <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">200 common dolphin<\/span> here feeding. It looked really good for a whale to be around, but alas, we did not see any!<\/p>\n<p>11:30am- Went back to looking where we left that last big pod on the morning trip. 5.5 miles up the line Capt Ryan located a really tight pod of about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">150 common dolphin<\/span>. These provided a great viewing opportunity as they traveled fast along the surface. Moving on from them, we stumbled upon a<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> Minke Whale<\/span>\u00a0a little to the south east. This was pure luck, the minke whale doesn&#8217;t have a spout that shows and it was all by itself! Finally on the way in we found <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">100 more common dolphin<\/span> feeding.<\/p>\n<p>3:00pm- Returning to the feeding dolphin, we found them, about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">150 common dolphin<\/span> now, and followed them for a mile. After leaving them, just like on last trip, we found a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">minke whale<\/span>! Probably the same one, it was large for a minke whale, approaching 30 feet long. Another lucky spot by Capt Ryan as this one was hard to track but we followed it for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9:00am- First boat out this morning, Capt.
