Greetings, gentlemen! I came across a good article about "reading the beach" and where to cast, that in my opinion will be quite interesting for the members of this forum. Check it out and let me know, what you think.

having said that - I want to post some picutres of Beach stretches , and perhaps the guru's could pop in and give us some tips on how to improve the eye , to be able to read what the  surf is telling us .

anyone against the idea?

I'd also add that Google Earth is a nice tool for analisys of the beach structure. You can really see where the deep places are, the sand banks and the openings in the wave patterns. Very nice to have all that technology for free!

albeit a little out dated - I have found , and am finding , that the beaches around here ar enot up to spec , as per Google .
we have had TERRIBLE wash-outs lately , and the holes have been moving aorund like you wont believe .
thereofre- I'd like to be able to read the shoreline , and take some other advice i got off sealine- MOVE AROUND if the fish arent biting in that specific spot . .

Thanks for the complement guys, that was my article...
In my opinion: 1 and 2 correct, 5 deeper, just before the bank, and also try on the bank, and 4 more to the right hand side (if the current is flowing from left to right). The white water on the far right hand side (not marked) is also spot-on!

LOL... Yze, he said IF the current is going from left to right... you can't really tell from that pic which way the current is going.
