Dark patches?? Explain please....at 2am dark patches can be current, gusts of wind. How is a Dark Patch a Full Blown Blitz??

Maybe I wasn't clear when I said a "Full Blown Blitz"....


...and birds diving at 2am? Wow!

I can remember fishing the lit-up docks of Gallilee at 2am for tinker mackerel while they were "blitzing" the silversides constantly and the birds only watched from the tops of the dock poles while the entire area between docks was being terrorized. Interesting though, I wouldn't think birds would be working schools as well. Then again 15 years ago I'd-a never thought you could catch mackerel at 2am.

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