Today's Fishing Advice

1. Best target species today: Atlantic Cod

   • Why this species is the top choice today: February is the peak season for Atlantic Cod, making them highly active and more likely to bite during dawn and dusk.
   • Where to find it from shore: Look for rocky outcrops, jetties, and deeper areas near shore where the cod tend to congregate, especially around tidal changes.
   • Best lure type and weight: Use soft plastic jigs or paddle tails weighing around 20-60 grams.
   • How to fish it today: Focus on fishing during dawn and the period just before dusk. Low tide is preferred, and since temperatures are typically low in February, fishing deep water near structure can yield good results.

2. Second-best target species today: Pollock (Coalfish)

   • Why this species is the top choice today: Pollock is also in peak season during winter, and they are highly active and aggressive, especially in low-light conditions.
   • Where to find it from shore: Pollock can be found near rocky shores and reefs, often in shallower waters than cod, especially closer to the surface during feeding times.
   • Best lure type and weight: Opt for metal jigs or topwater lures in the 15-40 grams range to entice their aggressive feeding behavior.
   • How to fish it today: Aim to cast just before and as it gets dark. Target areas with current and structure. Low tide will help, as Pollock are often around the wash line during these conditions.

Overall assessment: - Are fishing conditions today good, medium, or bad? The fishing conditions today are good, with the combination of peak season for both species and favorable low-light feeding windows.

Tomorrow outlook: - The outlook for tomorrow remains promising as both Atlantic Cod and Pollock will continue to be active in the cold waters, with good opportunities around dawn and dusk, as long as conditions remain stable.
