The structure at high tide ends up being 70+ yards off the beach from where I scouted at low tide. I think depending on the tide stage you fish, a long cast can be very neccesary. Most of my bigger fish, where not right in the wash. With an on shore wind though, it seems they are closer than a calm night with a full moon.

There are some canal holes that you need to be able to cast to as well.
