V Bay guys, how do y'all manage to fish the birds?

Fishing the birds in VB at this time of year will get ya some fish. However, this is the easiest way to catch a few which also opens the door to fishermen that only fish twice a year in the bay. I try not to fish the birds; I prefer to fish on the bottom, no cork. Drifting the outer edges of Mud Point, Trash pile and especially the hammick will get you on fish with not many around you. Do not holler, scream or let fish break water causing the masses to observe you catching! Bigtuna has very good advice...slicks. So does Bgizzle fishing drains along the edges. Heck go out to Dry Reef and be by yourself...fish are there too. If you want to fish birds get a really good set of binoculars, run out to the middle of the bay away from everything. Stop big motor, turn on the tunes, relax then start glassing 360 around boat. You will come across birds working in very obscure areas with no one around...you have them all to you. Good luck!
