Blitz
 

What is a Blitz to you , 5 mins of catching, An hour of catching ,A tide of catching , A day of catching, Lets here..........................

in my eyes... a blitz is a catching for a full tide in ONE SPECIFIC SPOT.

there are many times when I will move when a blitz is finished..and find another one happening 4 miles down the road.

IMHO, blitzes come in all flavors and can last for any of the times you mentioned 5 minutes or 5 hours.

I'd call it a tide of catching..., Although I'd take a day full :)

Seen them go for twenty minutes and some go for days. Blitz is not a measurement of time. It's the accumulated amount of shear feeding by a school(s) of fish at a certain place(s). Blitz conditions are movable feasts. It's the quality of the action. It's a time when there is no such thing as a finicky fish. If it moves it gets eaten by large or smalls.:wave:

I agree with Flap....most I have seen last between 15 minutes to 2 hours....a few I was fortunate to fish lasted 4 or 5 hours and 1 lasted from sunset to sunrise!:uhuh:

Frenzied Feeding! I.ve seen it last from 5 minutes to All day! 8-10 years ago, there were dead peanuts on the stretch between Pamet and BeachPoint from the high water mark to the low water mark. Twice!! Blues, but a superblitz none the less. People still insisted on swimming through out it all!:shocked:

IMO, a big blitz is when you see the seagulls burping and farting on the shore because they ate too much.

I consider a blitz if I catch two fish in a row on consecutive casts :)

A double 6 pack , a couple of J,S add some vik,s :buds:

I sort of think it's like sex, it's all good just some is better.:jump:

3 hours+ non stop action. Baitfish flopping all over the beach.
You ran out of gatorade, your forearn,wrist, and shoulder muscles ache so bad you have to sit down for a while. Its cold, but you have to wipe the sweat off you forehead.

My definition , A blitz is frenzied feeding by a school of fish near the surface . Its nice if it lasts a while.

I would not consider catch a component of a blitz. There have been many an occasion where the fish were keyed in on a certain bait that I was not able to match, i.e., thumbnail sized peanuts or crab hatch etc. The fish were "blitzing' but I was unfortunately not catching, just watching and at times crying.

Not being able to lift and extend your arms.
:smokin:

Please check yourself into butler/or betty ford:uhoh: ........I'll drive..

I consider it a maddening feeding frenzy where no matter what you throw in the water it gets whacked. Tails Slapping, Bait jumping out of the water, the sound of drag Screaming.

Oh...and it always occurs while I'm at Work :wall:

The False Albacore come up and are gone in 3 seconds - I still consider that a blitz :uhuh:

something I have never experienced:(

a couple of hours...best blitz I ever fished was at the Second Rip in July of 92. 2 hours of 25 to 35 lb fish. The commercial guys went off the beach with 5 or 6 hundred pounds in their coolers. BTW, I often hear about these 1000 pound nights. 40 years and I never saw one. Someone needs to show me the slips....

clammer you crack me up man..haha
:cheers:

MXC don,t ya think that would qualify ..,


paul -I guess we S/h saved slips :uhuh:

it does indeed my friend..thats my kinda blitz too :tm:

All of the above, as long as the bait is there and stripers and blues are feeding on them It is a blitz.

Last year at the end of the season I had to leave the fish blitzing to get to work. Non stop for 4+ hrs. Up and down a mile long section of beach numerous times. I didn't mind leaving I was so tired.

200 pounds a pop spread across 5 family members ;)

A blitz?

Is that like what happened when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor:confused:

Like TT said, no time to eat or drink, ya can't make another cast and go home to ice down your arm. :D

Blitz= "you shouda been here yesterday"

HURT' EM

Blitz
 

Long Island Sound in the early and mid 1970s, bluefish blitzes that stretched for miles, lasted hours and sometimes an entire day ... the kind of blitz that you could run off and do an errand and still get back to for more action ...

... what it boils down is mad hysteria where pretty much anything will work, you run out of lures, sore arms ... and when the blues are pushing the pogies into a corner, you know that big bass are lurking close at hand waiting/pushing for the scraps :jump1:
