It's all relative to each individual location.It's important to survey each location and have a game plan.I like to start short and work my way out.I feel I can catch em all like this..
When I fish off a jetty at night I usually don't put any emphasis on long casts.The structure is at my feet.
I have a technique I use in one spot I fish where I have to make a long cast and the drift my take me 2-3 minutes to catch em not far from right in front of me.I cannot replicate this presentation in a shorter cast no matter how hard I try.
I think if your fishing sand structure there will be lots of times you won't have to throw far at all.I can remember one night I was not getting any.As I walked along there was this log set perfect on the beach.I took a breather to reflect on the situation.
As I walked to the beach I made a cast prior to getting to the waters edge.Wouldn't you know I hooked up.Thats was It, I was standing on top of em.I caught a few more that night the same way fishing off the waters edge..You never know..
