[size 2]That was weird you mentioned that. I had two experiences with sea gulls and 1 with a pelican.[/size]
[size 2]I was tossing plastics off my boat and a gull went by and I caught him in the foot while he was trying to catch my plastic.
( I was able to get the hook out. But not before he tried to peck me to death!![laugh])[/size]
[size 2]Another on Seal Beach Pier. I was casting out and a seagull went by and it was like a bollo effect. Line went by, wrapped around bird and down he went. SPLASH!!!![/size]
[size 2]I immediatley cut line so I wouldn't hook him. I looked down and I saw him paddling towards shore. I don't think he drowned.[sly][/size]
[size 2] And the pesky Pelican!! My friend caught a barracuda off the bow of my boat and I was helping him land it and I left the bait tank open on the stern and this pelican sat on top and was eating our bait!![shocked][/size]
[size 2] So I charged him yelling and I threw my half eaten sandwich. he flew away but not before he ate some of the sandwich I threw at him[sly][laugh][shocked][/size]
