Today's Fishing Advice

1. Best target species today: Pollock / Coalfish

   • Pollock is a strong choice today as it is in season during September and thrives in the current water temperature of 15.0 °C, which is suitable for their feeding activity. They can be expected to be active and aggressive along the shore.
   • Look for them around rocky shorelines, kelp beds, or steep drop-offs, where they tend to hunt.
   • A good lure type would be a jig or swimbait in the range of 15-30 grams. This weight allows for effective casting while maintaining a natural presentation in the water column.
   • Focus your efforts during dawn or dusk when the light is low, ideally during moving water phases. The temperature is favorable, allowing for active feeding.

2. Second-best target species today: Cod

   • Cod is gaining in availability this time of year and is suited to the current water temperature, being active at 15.0 °C. They are starting to venture closer to shore as autumn progresses.
   • Target them close to structure like pier pilings, rocky areas, or deeper sand flats where they can ambush prey.
   • Use a heavier lure, like a 30-50 gram jig, which can reach the bottom and attract cod effectively.
   • Similar to Pollock, fish during the early morning or late evening when they are more actively feeding, especially as the tide is moving.

Overall assessment: The fishing conditions today are good, given the favorable temperature and seasonal presence of both target species.

Tomorrow outlook: Generally, tomorrow’s conditions should be good as well, especially for Pollock and cod, as both species continue to be active in September with stable temperatures. Expect similar behavior in feeding patterns during dawn and dusk.
