I fish mostly a low sloppy jetty flanking a hard running narrow inlet. Basically you walk out to the beach hop on the rocks and walk east 200-250 yds until you are at the end where a big rip sets up off the tip. You are pretty exposed out there. There are two types of waves you can encounter, Boomers and Sweepers. The boomers are the waves that come in looking all big and nasty and smash into the base of the rocks and send spray everywhere. They put on a good show. The sweepers are the waves that look totally innocent and small but at the last minute they come charging horizontally across the top of the rocks and put the fear of god in you. I got knocked down hard one night in the spring by a sweeper I didn't see coming because I was fiddling with my plug. It was 2 AM on a full moon dropping tide, luckily I was left high and dry on the rocks but had I gone in I would have been 100s of yds out before I even came up for air. I don't fish there without a PFD and don't go out when the surf is really up.
