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...
