PHANTON BEACH ,,,,, OTW

First let me say,, thanks for sharing your thought process,, Z and Flap ... The other guys were good too ... I liked this article alot and you can go into great detail because Phantom Beach does not exist so nobody gets pissed .. Its very useful because these conditions repeate themselves right up the coast pretty much any harbor or inlet..
Here is my take on Phantom Beach ... I see "Harbor" so even though its good moving water it also brings boat traffic,maybe a boat ramp with plenty of parking and easy access to all .. First thing I look at is fighting and landing a big fish and if its even possible. So that makes spots 2,3,4, unfishable even at night with no boat traffic because the fish I want is going to wrap all around those cans.. There are to many people from the parking area here anyways .. They will be all nailed to the bottom with some kind of frozen mack with a big piece of lead . This will also make these spot unfishable to any bottom bouncers wishing to use the current.. Spot 1 eaaahh..
Spots 5 + 6 are so good they suc .. You know everybody will be here 24/7 the whole season ,,If you like the shoulder to shoulder thing ,,this is the place for u ...
Spot 7 is only good for a cast on your way to spot 8...
Spot 8 imho is the place to be ..I'll take that boulder field point,,close to deep water, close enough to inlet,close enough to channel . Z nailed the tide .. last 2 of ebb 1st 2 flood.. Large will be taken here in the still of the night ..... Don't bother bringing any light tackle.. In the article Z and Flap are very specific on what to throw and why .. got me thinkin about different approaches .. thanks great job .
