I have several large bird catches to my credit, the most recent being a comorant, and they are nasty, I think worse than any seagull I have caught. They are quicker and their beaks are a lot sharper. As for chasing breaking fish, I know it is hard to resist the impulse to keep chasing them, but from a piece of advice I got from someone that I found hard to believe and do, but wait. A lot of times there are bigger fish that trail the smaller fish picking up the scraps, especially after blue fish blitzes. And another word of advice. When chasing the breaking fish and playing leapfrog, make sure your truck is in park before you jump out and grab a rod to run down to the water. Almost got hit last summer by a guy who forgot to as his truck rolled by narrowly missing mine.
