Sandbar? Trough? Cut? Rip-Current? What Does Sand Structure Look Like?

I whipped up this quick vid to share an example of what structure looks like when it is exposed, out of the water at low tide.
A Sandbar is a big hump of sand, which creates a shallow spot, where waves typically break.
A Trough is a deep spot between the sand bars and/or the shoreline. A Cut is a deep channel that is carved out straight through the sand bars. This creates a path of least resistance for water to wash off the shore in the from of a rip-current, which is like a small river making it's way out to sea. After that, I tagged on a fun action sequence of catching a Barred Surf Perch on the Battlestar 115 Jerkbait. That is Roger Scott from Fresno in the background. Stay tuned for this upcoming episode of Vince Goes Fishing to learn A LOT MORE!
