Dang - you get to hunt Belugas. I'm jealous!
So, I have a whale watching tale for you guys. The kid brought his girlyfriend up last spring. Took her down to our cabin for the AK experience. First day was whale breaching and pectoral fin slapping galore. Subsequent days were off the chart. We have a tide flat with a steep drop off at low tide. The beach meets a rock point with very steep sides (near vertical in places). Whales were continuously solo bubble-net feeding tight up against of the rocks. We'd set up and watch 'em about from land on the rocks about 10-20 feet above the water level. As typical you'd see the bubbles and then you'd see the circle forming. They'd turn on their side and use their pec fin and tail (in addition to the bubble net) to corral the baitfish tight to the rocks and then take a big gulp. I need to get video of this posted.
