Never overlook using something like Google Earth if you're thinking of a specific area.DZ stated the importance of transition zones,if the imagery was taken on a clear sunny day you can certainly see these zones in many cases.

Its another tool that can help but in the end the only true thing that pays off is time and persistence.That and some luck.

Attached is an image of a spot I fish quite often.Not perfect but a great help in determining where to cast.Best fish from that area was 24#.

If you are strictly fishing sand beaches with no visible rocks, look for stretches of white water that run either perpendicular or parallel to the beach. Fish in front of the white water, in the white water, and on the sides. The white water is formed by waves breaking over a sandbar. The fish will feed in the shallow water on the bar, and the deeper water holes on either side, and the front and back. Figure out which way the current is running during both ebb and flood tides and present the lure to the area where the current pushes bait to waiting gamefish...

You need to search some stuff from Assmaster, I mean Bassmaster. He put a tutorial in the FAQs years back. It breaks chit down pretty good. AS far as what bait is around at certain times of the year, what plugs to use to match the hatch, and hoe to use them. ALthough he focuses on the outer Cape beaches in that thread, it can be generalized to other areas depending on the bait.
