I did my own study on this subject back around the Northride earthquake time period.
I was launching during after shocks and fishing. I found out that just before the after shock, the fish would detect it and take off to some deeper waters. Since Bass are territorial, they would return to the same spot withing 20 minutes.
I had to wait almost 25 minutes when the after shock was a 5.0 or larger.
In the even of the ocean fish, I would suspect that they would be heading for some kind of shelter or structure just to feel safe.[cool]
