most fish sleep Muppet..... some even change colour when nodding off at night..... then there are those that hunt at night.....
some snapper tend to sleep during the day.... up in a deep gut with sometimes only one way out.... have also found them in the backs of caves like the ones out at Piercy Island that the tour boats back into....
on some moon phases you can have a good nights fishing and then some shockers that produce very little..... so i guess they sleep when ever they can......
wouldnt it be related to the tides?
muppet...thats kinda the idea!...more fun for us
tides, moon, wind direction, temp all play there part in what go's on out at sea....
when do they sleep most reef fish tend to sleep when its night time....
but then you put a net out in a estuary on a full moon and see how many Parore you catch but no flounder do the reverse and you will catch flounder and no Parore.....
so different fish have different sleep patterns....
Interesting what you say about fish that hang around reefs Lethal its not hard to imagine those fish giving themselves a good rest now and then. Hanging around down in caves and guts. Do you think this is part of the reason that snapper can live so long compared to kingfish etc?
If shelter is needed for fish to sleep I wonder how fish that live on sand with no structure there such as the west coast go about it?
Adam do you think tailers are asleep or full it hard to get a bite out of them?

talking west coast snapper Muppet, if you have ever dived on the weed line and looked out over the sand, you would be lucky to see a snapper because their coloration blends in so well with the sand, but they cant hide there shadow during the day.....
and now im guessing but i would say they school more on the sand, this is for protection like most other fish......
