Bait Fish Eyes
 

Just read the "On The Water" article on The Magic Hour and how the striper's eyes see with cones and rods.

I was always under the impression that bait fish eyes worked differently and couldn't adjust to the light changes quickly, therefore becoming confused in low light and becoming an easy target for game fish.
Does anyone know this to be true? :confused: Thanks.

Justplugit, based on what I've read, predatory fish have much better dim-light reception than baitfish, which enables them to feed primarily at low-light levels. Also, research has shown that all fish are myopic (nearsighted) because they lack the neccessary muscles in their eyes to focus their lenses. Predatory fish have more rods (light/dark photoreceptors) than cones (color photoreceptors) which enable them to see better in the darkness; however, baitfish have less rods. Hope this info helps.

HEY BASSMAN
Thanks for the great explanation. You helped me tie it all together and I really appreciate it.
Still learning. :boots:
