I too like moving water, esp. any area that a large body of water flows out thru a smaller cut into the main body of water.

FISH 
Solitude:  I always seem to catch good fish when I'm alone.
(Go figure - it doesn't help with my "You should have been there" speech the next day.)
Seriously, I would say bait. Not massive schools, as it may interfere with you ability to get fish to hit your offering, but just the presence of bait. |

Baitfish is the easy answer, birds certainly do the trick, but I too am a fan of the moving water, stripers love current....

Heresy perhaps, but my experience is that while stripers are easier to catch in current, the biggest fish come out to prowl and are more accessible during slack water (or barely moving water).....not that they usually have any interest in what I'm throwing. |

...most definatly, big bruisers are lazy, most of my bigger fish ( over 40lbs) have come from quiet slow moving water... |

yup, when i say moving water, i'm talking more about a sweep or minor rip, not raging current |
