Was going to say the same thing - this is something everyone should read.

On really windy days I have also caught trout under sitting birds on numerous occasions. Watched the birds do this on Big Lake a few weeks ago when the wind was awful - they would feed for a few minutes and then land. You could watch em fly about 100/200 hundred yards and then land again - right with the school.

A guide on Sabine taught me to fish sitting birds under rough conditions.

Don't know if anyone else has ever seen this, but it has worked for me.

Caught many under sitting birds.
