The area at Klinteby, offers beautiful scenery and good fishing experiences by the water. Klinteby is one of the classic spots in South Zealand when it comes to seatrout and with a very varied coast, there are almost always seatrout nearby.
You can fish in both directions from the parking lot. If there is a southeast direction, you come to Vesterhave where the dark bottom is more distinct, only with a small sand reef between it and the country. Klinteby offers a rip channel and reef fishing, but fine stone reefs off the cliffs. The area can be fished in many wind directions and can withstand light on land winds, which will only optimize the chance of a good seatrout
The spot offers a cliff at the back, which usually provides shelter for the fisherman. The spot can be fished in many wind directions.
Points
When the coastline makes a dramatic turn and/or forms a kind of reef or isthmus, we call it a point. Similarly to a reef, points will often experience a more significant current, since the waters are here being pressed by. This yields great water circulation and is thus a good indicator of a sea trout spot. The water surrounding a point can be very deep, which means fishing for more species becomes an option, particularly during the warm months when the water temperature is high.
Rocks
Even though walking around on rocks along the coast may feel annoying, it’s often a good indicator of the presence of optimal bottom conditions for the sea trout and its food options. Everything from pebble to huge chunks of granite provides cover for sand hoppers, shrimp, and small fish. If there are waves, these food options are easily whirled up into the water column. A rocky bottom can be good all year round, but especially so during the cold months with few food options in the deeper water. A rocky bottom at a good depth also attracts other predatory fish such as cod and garfish.
Sand
In many fishing spots, large areas of the bottom are covered in sand, and often the coastal angler will skip these areas since they don’t seem like much. However, it’s worth considering that many small fish like sand eel and sprat often migrate across the sand bottom, and they have sea trout and other predatory fish chasing them. On days with waves, unclear water, or dimmed lighting, you’ll likely find predatory fish in these areas. The sandy areas along the deeper water or close to dark areas can be true sea trout magnets.
Eelgrass
This aquatic plant functions as a brilliant hiding place for the small food options, and simultaneously they oxidize the water around them, which provides small fish, shrimp, and sand hoppers with good living conditions. The eelgrass is also used as a resting place for the sea trout when it migrates along the coasts and particularly in late fall when the trout are headed for the river.
