How a fish moves along a beach

[JohnR]

Oh - and by "fish" I really mean striped bass....

For every two or three "typical" instances of fish behavior you'll encounter one atypical. It's why saying anything is fraught with pitfalls. There are a lot of people out there who don't believe striped bass are primarily nocturnal.

I suppose it depends on how much of an argument you are fishing for.

I'm talking striped ones... I realize there is a pattern and the anti-pattern in about everything with bass, just looking for the edge. If a good amount of average and above average observant anglers feel that there is no correlation, that they move with or they move against the current then it is one more peice of info to tuck away to later contemplate when fishing.
