Productive fishing is often found near underwater structures that concentrate fish. In a shellfish growing area, the seabed itself can be a feature, as the shellfish beds attract foraging species. Anglers should also look for natural and man-made structures such as channels, drop-offs, and areas where freshwater streams enter the bay, creating current seams and mixing zones.
