Find a suitable area for cephalopod fishing
Fishing on rocky shores, especially for cephalopods, is done at sunset. The light is often weak and the night falls quickly on such areas. To avoid any risk of losing material by hooking, the fishing spot must be analyzed before nightfall. Ideally, you should be able to fish without having to avoid large rocks in shallow water, which could cause you to get hooked.
The area does not have to be very deep, 2 meters deep can be more than enough. Find a spot where you will be slightly overhanging the water, this will allow you not to get wet if the sea is rough. If possible, your area should not be totally devoid of artificial light, a coastline lined with a few street lights will attract forage fish as well as squid.
Adapting your equipment
Fishing for cephalopods on rocky shores requires slightly adapted equipment to overcome the main problems that can be encountered.
First of all, rocky shores are without a doubt the places where you can get hooked the most, so you need to use a jig with an adapted sink rate. If your spot is shallow, Slow-sinking jigs, which sink at a speed of 8 seconds per meter, will allow you to stay in the water longer before having to make an animation to avoid hooking.
In case your spot is very rocky near the shore, plan a long rod, more than 2m40, so you can fish further. Don't forget that even without a hook, a sharp rock can cause you to lose a jig if your braid rubs against it. To avoid this problem, use a fluorocarbon leader, ideally at least 4 meters long and with a diameter of at least 22 hundredths.
Persevere to succeed
Fishing for cephalopods in a rocky coast is rarely a technique that allows us to catch a large number of fish. On the other hand, the average size of squid and cuttlefish is much higher than in a traditional port area.
The time of activity also varies, squid can approach the coast at sunset, but also much later in the night. It is important to spend more time at the edge of the water in rocky coast to succeed in being on the spot at the time of the passage of cephalopods.
On the rocky coast, squid regularly reach the kilo, sometimes with tube lengths that can reach 50 cm. As far as cuttlefish are concerned, it is not uncommon to find individuals exceeding one kilo, especially around the reproduction period from March to May.
