Taking the bait

[Joe Colozzo]

The royal terns have a feast stealing bait from the Local fisherman at the Sebastian inlet. It's a bit comical as long as your not fishing.
They take the bait sometimes during the cast, sometimes from the water but it's always followed by a lot of cursing. I don't tell them I got the shot
because I'm sure that will only make them even mader. This one had a slight tug of war going but did get away with the shrimp.

ALL C&C appreciated

Outstanding action capture! Even the fishing line and sinker are easily visible.

I love it although I am gathering the fishermen might not share that thought.

Wonderful action shot.

That is so cool. What a great shot. I wonder if the bird ever gets caught by the hook.

I bet those fishermen are mad!

Thank you and yes they were, it was hard for me not to crack a smile at their frustration.

Thank you and I have not seen that happen, but I'm sure at some point it's a reality.

great action shot! sucks for the fishermen, but their loss is your gain.
