"Murphy said authorities are trying coax the whale back into the bay"

Coax a 200 ft whale?

They need to find a member of the opposite sex or a giant bottle of whale
pheromones....\

I can see it now...Mooron snorkeling on the other side of the gate with a
bottle of Overproof "Here Whaley, Whaley..."

Nah... I'd break out one of my Whale tapes... recorded by Paul in Brewer's
Beach BVI.... Humpback Mating Songs..... brings both females and males.
Turn up the bass and level to volume maximum.

100% success attracting whales everytime I've used it.

Ever see a Humpback Breach 50 feet from a 14 foot Avon Inflatable.... We
were recording just off Shark Point across from Jost Van Dyke in the BVIs...
Paul's last words before the breach.. "Listen now... he's close to us all
right!! Jesus Christ ... He's really close!! Oh ****!"

Maybe Bobsprit for a lure?

I just had a terrible thought. Could they have mistaken
Bobsprit for a whale? I told him to cut out the cheeseburgers.

Yes, I have witnessed the magnificent Lake Michigan varieties many times.
Their song isn't quite as inspiring as the humpback's though...

What I don't get about this story, is how the whale managed to get upstream
from the dam?

It's a tidal force generating station.. gates not dams. Tides are in excess
of 30 feet. Entire harbours empty at low tide.

Nah. The whaling station at Eden on NSW coast used to use killer
whales to herd right and humpback whales into Twofold Bay so the
whaleboats could kill 'em next to the beach. Paid the orcas in
whale tongues.

Just my little contribution to demonstrate that nature is a
Mother...
