lol.. fake blitz...
birds goin crazy in the night? sweet! holy crap, it's still goin! and i'm walking right up to it! just a few more waves! wait... theres no fishing jumpin.. somethings wrong.. flood light goes off in the background. birds scatter and assume the resting position under a light down the beach.
figures.. i thought i might actually catch a fish. oh well. wish i knew birds liked to REALLY act up under lights at night.

Well beins how Im stuck here in Georgia I had almost the same thing happen to me the other day I was live lineing some bluebacks in a creek channel for what I thought were stripers and I broke out the spook and started casting my brains out to the boiling water only to find out it was a school of spotted bass trying to act tough  |

Gotta hate the fake blitz.At least it gave you that feeling of hope for a few seconds!Try snagging a seagull the next time they fake a blitz.They probably wont mess with you anymore and might tell the bait to bring the bass to your plugs.

in my defense.. i thought it was bogus upon arrival.. but hope took over. i'd never seen them acting like that. they really appeared to be working hard. but holy crap no sooner did i get to the water to check it out, then did the light go off and instantly the stopped and scattered. if anything it was amazing how fast the disappeared.
oh well. too bad i was on my way to the docs earlier in the day. cause there was a real blitz with in reach in another location on the way to the docs. |

I saw the same thing there last year, but there were fish around. I had to wade out away's to get to them and they were pretty small |

I saw one of these a little while ago behind a restaraunt on the water with a big light facing the ocean.I stopped my truck and watched hundreds of birds playing in the wind in the light.I tried a few casts but just kept thinking about how I was tricked by this fake blitz.I couldn't even hit a seagull.Made me laugh under my breathe as I was reminded of this thread.

I have found over time that if i walk to the far edge of where the light hits the water and cast into the light and retrive out of the light into the darker water a few times I usually find something.. the down tide side is always better.  |

Frank Daignault's kids found that out 35 years ago. He wrote about the light house at the Race and how the cows sat right at the edge of the sweep of the light, in his first book |
