First sign of birds working

Had a chance to get out with ShortyLong tonight. It was a great evening to be on the bay even though the fishing was slow. Started off marking some nice fish but we had no current so we decided to head south. Didn't have any luck at all south, didn't even see any signs of life. Went back to were we started out the day but unfortunately we couldn't locate the fish we had marked earlier. For a moment we thought the bite was going to start because we did managed to pick up a 20"er and lost another fish, but we were wrong. The fish we did catch had some really bad marks on her that most likely came from a net (we think). What to do next? Maybe back south? Finally we found signs of life. The first time this year I found birds working. By the looks of the splashes they probably were nice fish, but they were moving too fast for us to keep up. It just wasn't meant to be tonight, but it was a great evening to be on the water with Mr. SL.
