Fishing 🎣 with a whale 🐋 and seal 🦭

[NJ219bands]

Went surf fishing 🎣 at Manasquan Beach this afternoon on a cold 🥶, sunny day with a 45 mph northwest wind 💨 and high tide during a cold front. Air temperature was in the forties and dropping. Mallards 🦆 and 6 deer were at the pond behind the Municipal Parking Lot. I got the first parking spot at the inlet. Had one hit on my Ava rig but missed it. Probably a sundial. At dusk, offshore birds were chasing bait south then a whale 🐋 surfaced three times. A seal 🦭 was on the beach at night. I took photos. Caught a calico crab 🦀 and several mole crabs. Few people were out in the cold 🥶 wind. A lot of sand was blown into the ocean 🌊.
