I've heard "search for the white water" when surfcasting, I was wondering what this means,cause I can't find any white water,all I see when at the beach is well...blue.

white water is the foaming water when a wave breaks

So look for the breaking waves in the middle?

Anywhere yu see white, like Slingah says after the wave breaks, the wash, along a bar, inside a cut, or along a rip.

PI was white all over today. Tough to pick a spot.

You shouldn't have a problem finding some tonite ;)

Even the Canal has 4 footers and whitecaps :D

It looks like that.
In this instance, the whitewater is making up at a point, where a straight shoreline sweeps outward, transforming itself into a coveside.

Ya I could cast about 75 feet and 300 feet of line would peel off, tough fishing

:shocked: Alrighty, That makes things so much easier to understand.

If you want a more in depth lesson on whitewater, take a look at this article by Zeno:

You can't really see it but there is a sand bar out there and 2 sets of waves
that bass will hide under the cover of the white water, made by the 1st wave
then when bait is confused and tossed around bass feed

Here is a better pic of the waves over the sand bar

Joe, i love that pic, talk about fishy water...OMG
