Seeing my first humpback whale spout of the season always feels like being a 6-year-old on Christmas morning! All footage taken 5/29/26 within 1000ft of the coast between Montauk and Southampton, NY.
Yesterday was quite the day between Montauk and Southampton! I spotted my first humpback whale of the season, which comes in as my personal earliest sighting by 13 days in the past 8 years. I spotted over 25 small schools of striped bass, 6 schools which appeared to be menhaden (too far under the surface to confirm), 11 bottlenose dolphins with one very tiny newborn calf, and to top it off some fun sand eel shenanigans (last clip).
