As long as you're not in a boat and up tight to the rocks, I think fog keeps the bass close to shore even after the sun has lifted.

Who's your ideal fishing buddy...someone who goes out no matter what the conditions?

Or is someone who just makes it a better experience by being there?

I'll take the seam of a nice rip over whitewater anyday.

For me it depends what the wave is breaking on.

Several of my favorite spots have big boulders in them with fairly steep walls. 6+ foot vertical walls. I always think of the backside of them as being like the bed of a pick up truck. It's likely to be a dead spot with minimal turbulence, and I think the stripers lay up right in there because of it. So in that case, the moment that wave passes, I'm parking a plug almost on the rock, deep in the froth, and working away from it. A lot of my poppers have serious damage to the ass end because of it.

I picture the striper sitting in there waiting and each time a wave goes over he's looking up to see what came by in the passing wave. If something is there, it gets crushed. A good pencil popper heavy enough to settle and work in the mess (usually yellow over white or white) is often my weapon of choice followed by a metal lip. Herring color almost anytime, blurple for the other times

A more mild, sloping rock causing the whitewater changes my tactics a bit.

The wetsuit is of course my choice for nasty whitewater. I just feel safer in it.

I like stuff like this...just at night
I like points and its interesting how the whitewater will often make up in a point - like in the picture above.
Freaking rife with possibilities....
Rolling, well spaced waves, discernable foam lines...Peaks, waves coming from multi directions, 2-4 footers.

Pete - It reads like your describing visualization, I'm a believer.
