Here is my noob question of the day(and yes I realize there are many opportunities for fun with this question, but I am serious).

When surf fishing is there a sign that a spot might be dead?

I know that when I am going freshwater fishing for largemouth bass, if I get bit by sunfish or other bait fish, the area is dead. I have either caught all the largies, or there just isn't any there. The baitfish aren't brave enough to bite with largies in the area, so if I get hits from them, then the largies have moved on.

Are there similar signs while striper fishing? I went the other nite during dead low tide There was no action on my eel and the other guys throwing small chunks or something were catching eels (huge ones at that). Should I have gotten the hint and moved on?
