This is the part of that i find most interesting....
"Work by graduate student Kathleen McNamee shows that striped bass have full stomachs during daylight hours, but that the stomachs gradually empty through the night."
I am always surprised when i bring a fish home and it has nothing in its stomach. I hear stories about fish with there stomachs busting out with lobsters and pogy's and all this other bait, yet the majority of my fish have empty stomachs. I usually fish 11p-3 or 4 am, so maybe the fish aren't feeding as heavily at this time.
Even when they are breaking and clearly feeding in the middle of the night.
They always seem to lovean eel though.
these fish never make sense,
once i think i finally have a perfect tide or a perfect condition, they throw me for a loop and do the complete opposite. guess thats what keeps me going, to learn more, if i always caught would i still be going out nightly? i think so!
