The school of fish with birds working sounds like salmon, they have been around Mordi-Sandringham the past few weeks. You should have motored over and trolled around the edges of the school with small lures or SPs (never troll through the middle of the school, you'll spook the fish and send them down deep). When the salmon are busting up the surface like that the action can be hot, we had a similar experience at Black Rock a few months ago, as soon as the lure went out you'd hook up instantly. Keep it in mind for next time.
Sometimes we troll lures around Balck Rock to target snook. A friend does this from the kayak trolling 8-10cm bibbed diving minnows that dive to about 3m depth, last week he landed a 55cm snapper!
