I don't think it was a dolphin, otherwise we would have seen it surface to breathe. On the way out, I did see about a 3-4' dia. ray, and we saw a few sharks, one about 4' long. During the many times I've been out there, crocodiles, alligators, rays, sharks, dolphins and large tarpons were seen. The Snake Bight Channel is an excellent place for large fish to feed, with the strong tidal currents bringing in and out smaller fish. Last year, while doing the Christmas Bird Count in Bear and Mud Lakes, I was smacked along the side of my face by a Redfish. Maybe I ought to bring my rod while Kayak-birding.
