"How would you fish this spot" thread

[Nebe]

Id take note if the current was running up or down the beach and wade out to the outer bar on the down current side and cast paralell to the beach. My strategy here is that bass will be lined up on the drop off of the uptide bar waiting to pounce on bait being swept over the edge of the bar-

using this strategy voids incoming/ outgoing tide dependancy

I sit there and read the water. Then I'd go to sleep.

I'd sit on the porch in one of those beach houses waiting for the fishermen to show up..............then as sooon as they hooked into something, I'd run down there full steam ahead and tell them to get out of my spot.

We need to tone it down here, NIB. Seems a lot of fragile egos have been cracked on this site with the mention of some of the most widely publicized and written about fishing locations on the east coast. People have short memories, I guess. When the spring schoolie season starts and the fish show at a certain south county beach along with the crowds as they have for millenniums, people will blame it on spot burning. When the canal herring run lights up with fish and people, spot burning will again get the blame. God forbid large fish and fishermen show up on the back side of the cape as they have long before anyone on this board has been around, it will be spot burning again. When the greyhound busses full of s-b members looking for pounder pins show up in south jersey next spring, it will be on account of spot burning too, won’t it? The writers always get the blame when people acknowledge and take advantage of the obvious. Funny how it works.

All the spot burning B.S. aside, good responses to the thread guys. The intent of the threads was to educate on how to approach a spot with certain characteristics, but a few guys missed that. For the record though, when fishing a spot that looks like the above pic, whether its the cape or rhody or elsewhere, I like the last hour of incoming water right up inside the hole where it meets the beach. A lot of my best surf fish have been caught at this time in holes like this one.
