I have had the same attack from seagulls while fishing a weedless jerk bait on Farrington. Picking it up, dropping it in midair, and coming back again.

Thank goodness the bird was only getting the plastic and not the hook. I guess they attack a bait on instinct and release it after there is no taste. Hunger may trigger the second and third attempt?

Waited a little while and tossed a crank bait till he flew off and returned to the pattern.
