Certain spots I LOVE white water, if it is clean, then bigger is better... most spots I prefer some water but not more than 2-4ft...

i find that brighter colors work better in white water..

It took me a while to realize that if you throw a white plug into frothy white water, your not going to have much luck-

now this plug was meant for the suds IMO

I don't know about that....
My favorite plug for working moderate white water is a white surfster or a herring bm danny.I never really subscribed to the notion that colors make much of a difference ,especially in white water.
What I do find is that bass trail the rushing wave and feed in the foam behind it.Getting your plug to land in the foam at precise time the wave is breaking is what I find to work for me.I generally find that I don't need more than a two crank with a reel before metal lip is engulfed...if the fish are there.

What do you consider optimal conditions?

How do you stay safe?
I prefer to fish the rips instead of the open beach but if I am playing a sand sissy I want the white water.The more the better from either southerly or easterly direction.Anything but a cross wind or a hard west.
Optimal conditions ?
Moderate to hard southerly after the coldfront in the fall .Gets the bait moving and provides lots of cover for bass.
Obviously ,each location is different depending which way is facing.
Staying safe ?
can you say "wetsuit"?

I really like a superstrike bottle plug for alot of white water. I lay the thing in the froth and just let it drift around with tension....works REALLY well.
Interestingly enuf its the white one, i discovered this a few years back, give it a try guys.
