Out of curiousity, at 2AM...... how did you(s) see such a massive Blitz?

Lit Dock area?
Lit Bridge area?
Full Moon on da boat?



I'm not talking about a few fish slapping their tails, I'm talking about a FULL BLOWN BLITZ.

Thanx 4 the replys -

Does the sound of fish feeding sound like softball sized hailstones hitting the water sound about right?

large schools of fish feeding on the surface at night will appear as dark patches moving around a little faster then the current.this can be seen on calm nights.have seen blitz at the motel in soco as well never did fish it thou.

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.

No, not a chance

They are in stealth mode and try to come in close and ambush pray

You can tell by the bait getting pushed onto shore and fish are hitting on every cast or so.
