There are some reasons why angler fish from shore. They may have no boat or suffer from seasickness. No matter your reasons, then give a beach fishing a try. There is certain beach fishing strategies for stimulating shore strikes.
Beach fishing can be rewarding as fishing from a boat as long as you familiarize with some tips and techniques. Anglers of all experience and skills levels can easily enjoy fishing from the shore.
Take your time to learn the beach area you tend to fish, then if you see any deep V-shaped gutters or holes, rip areas, drop-offs, and shallow sand banks further out, These beach formations will show you what’s going on in the water and help you work out the areas where fish would probably congregate.
Tides is Important
Tides play an important role in beach fishing and there are advantages for low and high tides. As the tide starts, rising higher above the sand bars and gutters, the fish happily swim over sampling the fresh smorgasbord of food on offer. The smaller fish chasing smaller morsels will also attract bigger fish.
Begin by fishing close to the shore. Casting too far out will put you past your target fish and if you still find yourself having problems catching fish, give try fishing along the break of the waves, in some period fish really will bite there.
Best beach fishing time
It will be around early in the morning or late in the evening, during the half tide.
Fishing at dawn, during this time when light is rather scarce, it can be a little challenging to read the beach. Fishing at dusk gives you the opportunity to read the beach earlier on whilst it’s still light.
Beach Fishing Hints
If you find birds then generally you, find baitfish and bigger fish will be come to feed, so focus on the area where there are plentiful hiding places such as: holes, rocks or reefs.
Other good areas on which to focus are channels and inlets, but the best time to fish inlets and channels is on the outgoing tide. This works especially well, because the tide carries your bait out in a very natural way, and fish will take it quickly in such circumstances.
Beach Fishing Bait
When you go beach fishing, look for local, natural bait. Dig around in the sand at the surf line looking for small shellfish, clams, sand crabs or worms. The best time to do this is at low tide because you’ll have the most amount of undersea surface exposed.
The way your bait present is also plays an important factor in enticing a hook up. Generally, fish that take fish bait usually have sharp teeth so a thicker monofilament or wire trace is required. Look for swirls on the surface, and it is a good sign there are fish feeding in the area, and you will be able to find bigger fish.
As in most beach fishing situations, the right combination of rod, reel and rig setup will determine the degree of your success. That means; using the lightest line; the lightest tackle; and the most suitable rod/reel combination. Going with a lighter rig that keeps the bait moving with the wave and tide action will help guide the bait to more fish.
