    You have to envy gannets, the ability to both fly, swim underwater and dive bomb.

    I was hiking here in my home province of newfoundland In Canada and when hiking I saw a hugh flock of gannets and until that time I didn't know they dove under the waves, and all of a suddon they all started shooting into the ocean from about 100ft in air and it was 1 of the most amazing experiences of my life when it happened

    Seeing them 'peel-off' from forty-feet in the air then lancing into the water is a spectacle which I never tire of seeing. Often, when surf fishing on the New Jersey shore the gannets signal where the 'right' bait fish are if the bluefish and stripers aren't blitzing.

      This feeding frenzy usually has sharks, gannets, dolphins, and swordfish all competing for the sardines, but I guess luck was on everyone but the sardines’ side, as no sharks were there. Sardines are still gonna get eaten not much will change for them.
