Managed the kill his motor and have his boat in perfect position to drift into them without even getting on his trolling motor. He and 2 of his friends had put about 35 nice fish in the boat with two old men coming out of the 4 Mile saw the massive school of birds working and decided they would get in on the action. Well of course they ran right up on the fish and within 30 yards of his boat and the bite was off. Anyway needless to say my little bro was hot but managed to keep his cool. One of the old men said something to the effect of "Did y'all manage to get a few before they shut down?". My brothers response "Well when you fish under birds in VBay 90% of the time you gonna catch some gaftops, but it just so happens that these were trout. When you fishing for trout under birds you get up current and go into them slowly. Exactly what y'all didn't do. But I can tell y'all were after gaftops and they don't care if two geezers in columbia shirts roll through their school, so I will cut y'all some slack." He said they just put their heads down and took off. There is no way I could have been as cool.
