Toss handsful of chopped up herring into the seaweed on the edges and then a sizeable chunk into the mix (on my hook)

Before even walking on the rocks I would cast from the shore parallel to the rocks and along the front. Flush out any bass that may be closer to shore.
Then I would perch on the forward rock and fan cast the the area entire area.

Eels eels and more eels

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I would fish the whole area tight to the rocks then I would fish the rip that would set up from the water being pushed through the cut in between the rocks on the left.

Tell me where to park and then I'll tell you how I'd fish it.

This is just an arbitrary spot I grabbed off google. More interested in hearing actual fishing strategies based on the appearance of the area. Yes, it is the equivalent of fort knox as far as access, but that's not what I'm getting at. A lot of rocky places look just like this place. If you pulled up in this spot, what would you do to figure it out and catch fish?

I'd work the perimiter under the cover of darkness, using the electric motor to keep the bow seaward, stern to the rocks, toss eels all the way around, switch to a pencil popper when the sun came up...

I'd fish high tide thru the drop standing on the west side of the outflow with needles. I do see running water there?

Some of the best fishing areas I have come across have been in the winter months when tides are lower then normal. Rocks that you can get to safely are exposed. At times dureing the season other fisherman are amazed at where I am, nor do they know it was at little or no risk involved. Maps are not going to show you smaller structure where you can perch yourself. At no time do you want to venture into waters that your not familar with especialy at night. Fish those knew areas dureing day light and with someone else depending on how comfortable you feel. I can't say enough about the confidence I gained fishing with someone like cowhunter. Before that trip could only pushed myself so far but like every thing else its easy when someone shows you how its done. Alot of guys fish online for maps but it takes alittle more then that.
