in the surf, there is NO bite. yet,,,,,,,
right on CUE within about 5 mins of the
little lights going out; WHAM fishes awwwn??

two questions:

what is it that causes these photoplankton to carry on like that?

why doesn't our prey feed while the show is happening?

my thoughts are that they are chasing the little buggers around, or
this is the S-B moving them with their movements, or it's just too much
of an annoyance that they lay low until it's over???

any ideas or the science on it would be most appreciated.
Danny, ya got yer ears on? anyone else have sum thoughts?
