They work better if you throw them in the water next to the beach.

Sundowner - yes, you can use them fishing from the beach - but best to find areas of beach that are likely to hold fish.

What John said. Plus go at night! Usually 1 hour before and after the high tide. Look for structure. Points, holes, white water usually means a few fish will be waiting for bait getting all churned up. Big moons = big tides which usually means more fish.

seals + plovers =

eels are a universal bait and can be fished anywhere... your method of presentation may vary .. but the fact that bass.. especialy big ones eat eels ANYWHERE.. is not lost to anyone familure with fishing them...they are my primary weapon for night tides... but I've taken some real slobs under the noon day sun... mainly in the fall...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Very true. Some nights they will only take the pencils. Recently, it has been fish to fish, and I've been changing sizes and retrieve every few casts.

It is the most polite way I know of to let someone know they've invaded my personal space.
