Take advantage of late autumn to fish for sea bass at night from the shore

Night fishing for sea bass

The end of the bass fishing season is just around the corner, but it's still an excellent time for quality outings. Despite the cold weather, if there's one time of year when night fishing is a strategic choice, it's the last quarter of the year. So don your warmest sweaters, your waders and get out on the water!

Short days

In particular, with the changeover to winter time, the days are particularly short, so you can indulge in night fishing without having to return home late. On weekdays, and even more so if you have a family, this is a considerable advantage when it comes to enjoying your fishing time!

This way, you can plan outings from 6 to 8 p.m. without disrupting your schedule, with promising results!

Uncertain weather

As the weather is particularly capricious in autumn, it's not always easy to organize a daytime weekend outing, and often the days off follow one another without allowing you to enjoy your passion. The opportunity to fish every day of the week outside working hours is a godsend for the opportunistic angler.

Lots of active bars

Autumn, and especially November, is often an exceptional time for sea bass fishing! They are present in large numbers and particularly active, as their sole objective is to fatten up for the winter. This is undoubtedly the time of year when you'll enjoy your best outings, so maximize the number of hours you spend on the water.

Big bars close to the shore

Big bass aren't always easy to lure, but at night, when it's quiet and dark, they're happy to venture a few meters from the banks to spots that are totally abandoned during the day. This is where you can hook some very big fish at night on your way home from work!

A wide range of positions

The shallow, fringing spots usually neglected during the day become productive at night, considerably multiplying the opportunities for anglers on foot. A wide variety of spots are exploitable and inhabited by sea bass at night, where they come to pick particularly active crabs and shrimps.

Go for dark lures

At night, contrary to popular belief, dark-colored lures are often the most visible, and you'll regularly find that they make all the difference. So don't focus on white or flashy lures, but diversify your lure box.

Fish slowly

Even if bass are magnificent predators perfectly equipped to detect the smallest prey, it's best to animate slowly at night to give them time to locate your lure perfectly and target their attack.

Remember to release your fish

As winter approaches, sea bass begin to form egg sacs in preparation for spawning. It is therefore preferable to release your catch at the end of October to allow the species to renew itself in the best possible conditions.
