Rocky coasts by day
Rocky coasts are highly exposed to sea conditions. The waves created by the wind and the swell coming in from offshore stir up the edges and provide an excellent hunting ground for wolffish. Water temperature is generally cooler, as rapid access to deep water reduces the rate at which surface water heats up.
Wolffish often skirt rocky edges in search of easy prey. Although they are not very active at this time of day, they are very opportunistic and do not hesitate to attack a surface lure in clear water. To give yourself the best chance, choose an area where the water is choppy and not covered with white foam created by the surf. The wolf must be able to spot your lure with his vision so as not to miss his attack.
Sandy beaches in dark hours
When the sun is low in the sky and human activity is low, wolves take advantage to invade sandy beaches. In the mornings and evenings, small fish come close to the shore, attracted by the distant light of street lamps, and find themselves trapped in little water.
In the early morning, wolves are often very aggressive, especially after a dark moonlit night, when hunting in complete darkness is difficult for them. In the evening, human activity and the sand stirred up by hundreds of bathers will attract all kinds of forage fish. The wolves are usually not far behind, and don't hesitate to break up the feeding shoals to grab a few.
Mouthpieces
Undoubtedly the most reliable spots for wolffish fishing, the mouths can be fished in all weather conditions. With the exception of the wolffish breeding season, all seasons are equally interesting.
However, there are a few factors that affect fish activity, as they may not be biting even though they are present. Keep an eye on the flow of the river that flows into the sea, as this is often what creates the activity. A small flood upstream can push up large quantities of sediment and potential food for wolffish. In summer, wolves can be seen travelling as far up this river as possible, usually getting stuck at the first salt dam. They enjoy the brackish water, which is usually teeming with mullets, easy prey for them.
