Next time you hook one of those birds, bring to boat and grab neck,twist accordingly and hook should fall right out. Works for me...

those things suck.
Last time I fished dana harbor I caught:
3 short hali 2 brown pelican 1 scuba chicken I've made it a point to not dump left over bait at the launch (I'll walk left-overs to the trash). %#^@ those birds, they need to eat what they catch in a hunt, not a hand-out. |

Those birds have been relentless for the past few days .... diving deep, calling their friends. I think I had the whole Osbourne clan around me for a while.... PS... we need a bird and seal icon in the smiley section along with one of those big Donkey kong hammers or a road runner Cannon.... food for thought...

Since the red tide has been around, I think they have found out that it is much easier to catch tethered Macks than free swimmers. Last Thurs I lost at least 4 flylined baits to them.

Wades Audubon Society has been rescuing & volunteering for Wildlife, Raptors and various birds for well over twenty years.
The most common problems I see associated, are fishing line & hooks.. Please whenever possible bring the foul hooked birds yakside, and completely remove your Leader & Hook, and possibly others.. Dont just cut your line at first notice. At least give it an attempt. (When applicable & not too invasive) You may need to man-handle him at first, like Dave says... He will soon know you mean no harm, only help. Putting their flapping wings carefully underneath your arm, can calm down even the most finicky "scuba-chicken" .......
