it all depends on the structure within casting distance- for example 2 nights ago i found some fish that were at the end of a long power cast with a superstrike darter..they were there because there is a ledge that makes a shallow spot about 60 yards off the shore... and on top of that ledge is a spicy rip. Fish satck behind the ledge ibelow the rip and feed on bait that tumbles over the ledge- just as my darter swung over the ledge bait was probably swinging over the ledge as well... or at least thats my theory..

Places i dont power cast at are jettys and dry ledges with deep drop offs... fish are sometimes at the tip of your pole.
