right on....
again, this conversation about seams needs to be considered in relation to the strength of the current.
in high flow areas you really can think of it as if they were trout, hideing behind rocks and tight to seam edges.
however, in low flow areas more typical of most of the striper coast, you need to apply these concepts to larger areas....that is the eddie might be from half way down the eastern side of a point to its tip, the entire stretch being good.
this brings me to another clarification. most of you are or will soon be aware of back eddies in streams.....areas where a narrow strong current entering a larger body of water causes the water to actually flow in the opposite direction on the outsides of the main flow. while this may create the specific seam we talked about earlier on a larger scale it will cause coves (and sometimes points) to have a flow opposite the general tidal direction.
in places like mtk's south side and the points south of the cc canal this can really alter where fish will set up and how you should focus on presenting your plug or bait
