Those first 2 sentences sum it up for me...thanks FlapT, I couldn't have said it any better...



The other definition of a Blitz is ...when even JohnR can catch a fish ..

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

What he said.
Good fishing is different.that could just be a bunch of fish stacked up like cordwood in a specific spot that u catch on almost consecutive casts.
Blitz=Fish Kaos.

Throwing Timber, Thats a torn rotator cuff, not a blitz. (I've experienced both) A blitz to me is frenzied surface feeding that lasts long enough to pull some fish out of it before it ends- more than a momentary eruption of bait...IMHO....

I said it was like sex
Sometimes it's short and sweet, or long and tender but always more fun if you're catchin than watchin.

I agree with Flap. A "blitz" to me is not really the amount of time but the heightened level of all out feeding frenzy action - like a high energy spurt of feeding activity that can be for minutes or hours. Obviously hours is better .

Kind of like the difference between a couple of sharks feeding lazily and a bunch of sharks with blood in the water in a full out feeding frenzy.

However, I've been in a few "blitzes" with very finicky fish on worms or peanuts when there is so much bait around and they're so keyed in on that bait they will not hit anything. Kind of makes you want to throw all you gear in the water and go home...
