Two key points. Everything else becomes less important if you address these two factors first...get the wind at your back and be ready to cover alot of ground...an onshore wind is ok at times, but wind at your back is the rule.

All the above responses proves my theory......no one set of conditions produces fish! Only the presence of fish.....produces fish! Get out there.....get a line in the water when you can......enjoy yourself and catching fish is a bonus! I never liked micro-thinking every possible angle and condition and keeping logs.....it sucks the fun right out of it as far as I am concerned! Fish with what you like, when you like and where you like! Best of luck!

Haus Think of the beach as a blind man waiting for a bus.You don't no when it's coming,you don't no the tide, and you can't change the wind. So I suggest to stop and enjoy the --spot-- and your self at the spot and while your doing it go drownd some bait. It wants to be fresh bait. If it's over 30 hours old,dump it.
Now that your at the--spot--toss your bait out short on one rod and just beyond the second wave with your other rod.
This is a good starting point. From here you can-like a seagull--look up and down the beach and see whats going on and just like a bus stop if you see a blitz heading down the beach then you can put a plug on one rod and follow the blitz.

now pick your spot this here is called learning the beach
