Exciting Adventure on the Jersey Shore

On this Throwback Thursday, I’m sharing some video I took when hubby and I ran across a school of skates! Since the weather was so nice we were taking a long walk and on our return trip over the Shark River Bridge, we caught sight of a large school of bait fish jumping out of the water. We decided to watch the bait fish to see if anything big would come to chase after them, like a dolphin. Nothing came to eat the bait fish but then we spotted two small skates in the water. A few seconds later, however, we saw a school of over a dozen skates gliding through the water. I managed to get out my phone and capture some video of this amazing sight! I so love being this close to nature and being able to see things like this right on my doorstep. It’s one of the reasons I set the At the Shore series in this area.
