Scuba Chickens!

That's hilarious.

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...

Agree.... Scuba Chicken = funny chit.

I had one follow me about 2 hrs on Sunday... kept going back and forth under the boat. I told my GF I made a friend on the water that day.

Great pic above too! HA!

NOW THAT'S SOME FUNNY CHIT!!!!!

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" .......

HAHAHAHAHA

wade i liked it yesterday when you were feeding the birds and the cabin cruiser (not d50) raced in and started throwing the iron because he thought the birds were diving on a school.... I was losing it laughing. WFO Cormorants and pelicans......

I'm not that worried about the cormorants... I'm more worried about the 40-lb pelicans. Those things will put a hurt on you, even if you're just trying to help them out.

kobra · 09-15-2011, 04:12 PM

Wow Kev, your own pet cormorant. Don't see that everyday. Cool pic.
