Today's Fishing Advice

1. Best target species today: Pollock / Coalfish

   • Pollock is the top choice because it’s in peak season for shore angling during October and the current water temperature of 12.1 °C is within its very good range of 8-14 °C. This species is highly active and responsive to artificial lures.
   • You can find Pollock along rocky shorelines, pier areas, and anywhere with some structure or current. They are often in shallower waters but can also be found further out.
   • A good lure choice would be a 20-40 gram jig or soft plastic, mimicking small baitfish.
   • Fishing today should be focused on dawn and dusk, especially with the moving tide. The temperature is ideal, and the low light should encourage more feeding activity.

2. Second-best target species today: Sea Trout

   • Sea Trout is a solid choice as it’s also active during autumn. The water temperature of 12.1 °C is suitable for them, falling within the very good range of 7-12 °C. They will be feeding near the surface, taking advantage of the warmer water.
   • Look for Sea Trout in estuaries, river mouths, and sandy beaches where there’s some structure, especially at dusk.
   • A typical lure weight would be around 10-20 grams, using spoons or lighter jigs that imitate smaller baitfish or crustaceans.
   • Today’s fishing should focus around the dawn and dusk periods, with a moving tide enhancing the chances of successful catches.

Overall assessment: - Fishing conditions today are good, with favorable temperatures and the right tidal movements encouraging feeding behavior in both species.

Tomorrow outlook: - Tomorrow is likely to still present decent fishing conditions, especially for Pollock and Sea Trout, as the season remains favorable and the sea temperature is stable.
