Today's Fishing Advice

1. Best target species today: Atlantic Cod

   • March marks the tail end of the peak season for Atlantic Cod along the coast, making them a solid target for today. They often feed during low light conditions, especially around dawn and dusk.
   • Look for them near rocky structures, deeper channels, or anywhere food sources are present. Shore locations like Bryggen or near the islands can be promising.
   • Use a lure around 30-60 grams, with options like jigs or soft plastics imitating baitfish.
   • Focus your efforts in the early morning just after sunrise and during the low tide period. The water temperature is still relatively chilly, so a slower retrieval might work better today.

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

   • Pollock are currently in excellent condition this time of year, providing a good alternative to cod. These fish are actively feeding in low light and often hunt near the surface.
   • They can be found around the same rocky shorelines as cod, as well as in areas with moving water, like tidal rips or current seams.
   • Choose lures in the 15-40 gram range, such as spinners or topwater plugs, which can draw strikes effectively.
   • Target the hours around dawn and dusk, especially during the tidal changes when the fish tend to be more active, keeping an eye on water movement.

Overall assessment: - Fishing conditions today are good. The combination of seasonal fish activity, low light feeding windows, and suitable tidal phases should yield some positive results.

Tomorrow outlook: - Expect solid opportunities for both cod and pollock as the season continues to support their presence. With early spring conditions in play, shore fishing should remain productive for these species.
