East of the marina, the bottom is soft and muddy near the coastline. Further out, the bottom changes character and the soft bottom is replaced with stones and mussels. The amount of stones increases when moving towards Hadsund in the east. Fish the muddy bottom thoroughly before wading out.
At the "hole" which, in confusion, looks like a abandoned port, some long stone reefs go out into the fjord. Around the hole, the water depth is low. Fish thoroughly throughout the area where the fish can go all over.
The high season is autumn, winter and spring, but the summer nights can also be rewarding. Pay attention to the year-round conservation to the east at Kastbjerg Å - one of the fjord's most productive currents.
Bladder wrack
Along with the eelgrass, bladder wrack is the most prevalent aquatic plant along the Danish shores. This seaweed attaches itself to smooth surfaces such as rocks, gravel, and other variations on the bottom. The bladder wrack is a good hiding place for food options and fish. Bottom conditions with bladder wrack are good indicators of fish being nearby.
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.
Mussel banks
When mussels fix themselves to the seabed, it often occurs in places with current and good water flow, so nutrients and food options will come to them. Mussels are good indicators of life, and it’s often near them you’ll find hunting sea trout. Besides creating banks and reefs that provide other fish with conditions of life, the mussels also clean the water, and that has a huge impact on coastal water quality and fauna.
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.
