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.
A fishing spot with current and good water flow is always a magnet during the warm months, when spots of this type will be rich in oxygen. Current water contains many food options that ride the current and thus attract the predatory fish. Current water can be good year round and particularly in combination with reefs, points, and banks.
The coastal sandbar is characterized by shifting water depths, where the bars are often made of sand that gathers between the deeper parts. These types of coasts can be exciting to explore, especially when great variations in the tide occur. The deep parts between the bars are called rip channels, and depending on the water level, the predatory fish will migrate over the bars and both in and along the rip channels. In spring, when the water temperature is rising, you can experience some fascinating sea trout fishing between these bars.
Groynes or break waters are usually man-made. Groynes often contain food options and also habitats for aquatic plants. When waves and currents hit the groynes, deep parts are created in their sides, and they can whirl food options up into the water column, which benefits the hunting predatory fish.
