Man he still around huh? I bet you I saw him 5 or 6 different times last summer! Everytime i saw it he was by the jetties. Last time i saw it had my girlfriend with me. She kept trying to get a picture of it but when she would have her camera ready he would go under. When she would put it down he would come up. I went to big lake this friday afternoon. Caught 12 nice specks and 2 reds. Went out to rigs sat and sun caught about 25 nice specks and a few spanish mackerel on sat and about 20 specks and few mackerel on sun.

I saw one in Grande Isle two summers ago. Just as bright and it was riding the waves and playing at the beach. Awesome sight

Good pictures! I saw it a couple months ago & couldnt get a picture! From then on anytime I went that way I had my camera in my hand with no luck. That thing is cool, no mistaking it!

Yea ole pinky is cool last may i watched and filmed it on my phone for about 30 min! It was near the jetties.

i think the dwlf is asking for people to call in when they see it. i think i read that in the magazine that we aren't suppose to talk about

For those people that have seen "Pinky"......is there one or two pink ones hanging out in the ship channel / jetties area?

About 2 months ago....we saw one that I think looked to totally pink when it "rolled" on the surface. I was trying to get my camera out and only saw it 2 or 3 times and it did not come up again to get a video of it.

Then about 2 hours later, we spotted it again farther away. But this time the top fin was not totally pink. The front part of the fin was gray but all the rest was pink.

What did the dolphin look like that you saw?

Like a pink Flipper?Sorry. You can go back to your topic now. Cool pics, BTW!!! I never even knew that they existed! How naive of me!

whole body was pink with a tiny bit of gray on tail.........
