Most all of you have told stories about birds during "costal" cruising. I
fish offshore a lot & one of those places is the edge of the Continental
Shelf. We fish the "cracks" called the canyons. The closest canyon to me
is the Hudson Canyon, located about 75nm south of Fire Island Inlet, NY.
Whenever we set up to fish & begin chumming little black & white birds (we
call them "tuna birds") appear in the chum slick. They come out of nowhere.
We never see a flock sitting on the surface. In fact we have never seen
these birds land or float on the surface, they are always flying & flitting
about eating pieces of chum in the water. Very often they do land on the
boat, even had 1 land on a fishing rod as I was feeding out the line. Their
visits last from a couple minutes to a couple hours.
Birds & boats,,,I guess they just go together.
