Say you are fishing a shoreline, not a flat or rock pile, do you just work down the shoreline at a certain pace, or do you fish say 100 yards, then go back and fish that area again, then move on?

If I know it's holding fish I may spend all day on the same stretch.....May fish through it 2-3 times before fish show themselves or catch one or 2...

What's the attraction for fishing this shoreline? It makes a difference.

If its a weed shoreline and you know it's holding fish or think it holds fish it's only a matter of time till they eat. You could work it for extended periods of time back and forth.

If it's weeds, and slop to the inside, it's one pass from the outside, casting in, one pass through the middle casting both ways, and if I moved fish or have recently there, one pass from the inside casting out. If I move fish, I repeat.

Not too many bait selections that will work in that situation, so most of the time it's spinnerbiats, buzzers, and in extreme slop, Sluggos for me.
