Blitz

[Flaptail]

Seen them go for twenty minutes and some go for days. Blitz is not a measurement of time. It's the accumulated amount of shear feeding by a school(s) of fish at a certain place(s). Blitz conditions are movable feasts. It's the quality of the action. It's a time when there is no such thing as a finicky fish. If it moves it gets eaten by large or smalls.

I agree with Flap....most I have seen last between 15 minutes to 2 hours....a few I was fortunate to fish lasted 4 or 5 hours and 1 lasted from sunset to sunrise!

Frenzied Feeding! I.ve seen it last from 5 minutes to All day! 8-10 years ago, there were dead peanuts on the stretch between Pamet and BeachPoint from the high water mark to the low water mark. Twice!! Blues, but a superblitz none the less. People still insisted on swimming through out it all!

IMO, a big blitz is when you see the seagulls burping and farting on the shore because they ate too much.

I consider a blitz if I catch two fish in a row on consecutive casts

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 ..

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.

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...
