Spot Learning

[Zeal]

Well I can read the water and such but the one thing that eludes me is how to deal with days where that unproductive wind kicks up making that beach dead.

Since I'm not out on Montauk where you can just switch sides, all the beaches face South for me. So, for example, lets say a SE wind kills the beach. Since everything is facing the same direction would that not be true even if I hopped to another beach further East or West? Or does that really depend on the structure each beach holds that makes that difference? All sandy beaches too, no rock piles.

My idea is to focus on one beach for the Fall run to learn it but I know plenty of other fisherman that have multiple areas they frequent (mostly due to sources). Since I am my own source, any thoughts?

You still have options. Not sure where on the south shore you are, but you still have inlets and the bays that are adjacent. Some spots have jetties or rock groins which can alter the fishing.

Smith's Point is closest, Shinnecock is the only other I really go to just because I have more experience there. But the inlet tends to hold way too many people so I stick with the beach (where the bite was much better).

Moriches is another choice but fishing from a boat most of my life there was crazy enough. Very strong, notorious inlet. Trial by fire when I learned how to drive a boat there.

If im trying a new area I cruise around during the day looking for spots to fish at night
