FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A Fort Pierce fisherman spotted something that few people ever see in waters off Florida. Jay Charron spent a few minutes Sunday morning admiring two pods of orcas that were migrating north about 100 miles off Vero Beach. He was with a group of eight people fishing for tuna when they saw the first dorsal fin about 75 miles north of the Bahamas. Charron grabbed his camera and recorded video for several minutes. Fort Pierce fisherman Jay Charron shares his amazement at spotting orcas off the Treasure Coast.
