Does that glowing neon green plankton we see at night only show when something is around it swimming. This is what Ive been told. Is this true?

Walking, or your plug in the water a boat wake anything that disturbs
them I believe sets them aglow

Then we can say it is a definate fish indicator, bait and such.

A lot of other things than bait and fish activate fire in the water, and bait and fish can move through water with a lot of fire in it without activating it. True, on a very dark night actively feeding fish can show up as dull blobs of light, and strikes can be very spectacular, but counting on fire to tell you what's out there is a reach at best.
