How to fish when the waves are big on the coast? What natural baits can be used for sea fishing?

For those who like sea fishing, they will consider what fishing rod and bait to use. In fact, sea fishing has nothing to do with the size of the wind and waves. It mainly depends on what fish you are fishing for. For seasonal fish, sea bass can be caught in the undercurrent of the sea with shrimps, yellow croaker and blackhead can be caught with sea worms, and sea bream must be caught in a nest. Next, let's take a look at the tips provided in this article.

How to fish when the waves are big at the coast

When fishing in the sea, as long as you understand the migration and foraging patterns of near-shore fish, it will not be difficult to find near-shore fishing spots where they move and feed.

Ocean waves are a natural phenomenon unique to the ocean. Fish that live near the coast are already accustomed to ocean waves. Objectively speaking, common ocean waves have little impact on fish that live and feed near the shore.

Fish living in the coastal waters usually hide and live in caves and muddy sands near the coast. When the wind and waves are strong, they swim to the bottom of the deep water, potholes, ditches, and reef crevices near the coast to avoid them, but this does not affect their foraging. Therefore, when fishing near the coast with big waves, anglers should definitely not consider the beach, but should choose fishing spots with many reefs and rocks where offshore fish often live and hide. These fishing spots have complex terrains and are not only the "comfortable nests" for fish to live, hide and forage, but also the main places for offshore fishing.

If the wind and waves are strong on the coast and the angler cannot bear it, he can choose to find a fishing spot at a sheltered pier or wave-blocking dam. Wave-blocking dams are made of irregular large rocks tilted toward the sea. After a long period of strong winds and waves, a solid dam is formed from the seabed to the sea surface. The gaps, holes and other gaps in these underwater rocks have become a safe haven for offshore fish to live and avoid wind and waves, and are also ideal fishing grounds for offshore fishing.

In many cases, when the wind is below level 4, individual offshore fish weighing more than 1 kilogram rarely come to the seashore to forage. On the contrary, when the wind and waves are above level 6, large and small offshore fish flock to the shore to take shelter and forage. Whenever this happens, seize the opportunity to fish with hand rods or sea rods at fishing spots with many reefs and rocks near the shore, and you will often have a good harvest.

What are the natural baits that can be used for sea fishing?

The fishing conditions in each place are different, and you also need to target your target fish. If you use a lure rod, you basically use fake baits, such as soft worms, minnows, etc. You can also use live baits, such as whitebait and small crabs, which are more attractive to aggressive fish, such as sea bass, grouper, and red oil 19 male.

We do a lot of rock fishing and boat fishing here, as well as raft fishing. Most people use powder, which is Antarctic shrimp bricks mixed with other fish attractant powders. To save money, you can add chicken feed, and then make an Antarctic shrimp brick and hang Antarctic shrimp on it for fishing. Antarctic shrimps are relatively fishy but are quite easy to use. Black wax, white wax, sand wax, and yellow-foot wax are all suitable. You will also buy some extra caterpillars as a backup. If you cast to the bottom far away, you may have a chance to catch a slippery fish.

Where to go sea fishing

First of all, it depends on your preference, boat fishing or rock fishing. Then it depends on your time and pocket. If you have money and time, you can choose to go abroad to experience famous fishing spots. Of course, there are also good fishing spots in China.

For deep-sea boat fishing, you can choose Nanyou, Xisha, Dongyou, etc. For offshore fishing, you can choose according to the season. For example, in Zhoushan, you can fish for hairtail at night after July, and sea bass from November to April. You can fish for live shrimp, rice fish, and yellow mullet at other times. In the north, you can fish for cod, blackhead, etc. There are more choices for rock fishing. It is recommended to go to Zhoushan, Zhejiang, where you can fish for black porgy all year round, and you can even fish for the dreamy fish of rock porgy in May and October.
