when bluefish tear apart a school of baitfish, they chop through the prey. they will take bites of the fish and gulp them down, paying little attention to the parts of bait that fall from their mouths. the pieces of bait then fall to the bottom, or get slowly swept away in the current. striped bass, especially the bigger ones, stay below the school and take the easy pickings. less energy is needed to suck down the parts of discarded baitfish than is needed to personally hunt fresh prey. it's all about not expending more enrgy to feed than will be taken in by the actual feeding. fluke can also be caught below actively feeding bluefish.
