I have always been predominantly an east guy for a couple of reasons. I like to stand on the very edge of the low water ledge and work the edge where that ledge meets the bottom. I find that I can also use lighter jigs as there's less water column to get down through and less drag on the line as the current passes by it.

I've been fishing the west more lately just to put more time in and found it a lot more different than I expected. Working the inner edge is not an option and it seems like you get a lot less time to fish after the start of the tide, even during the neaps.

Any tips from you "westerners"?
