Sheltered fishing from the shore
As autumn and winter approach, weather conditions often become harsher. Westerly and southwesterly winds become more frequent, making sea outings more difficult. From the shore, however, it's often easier to find natural shelter.
Rocky, indented coasts offer favorable configurations: cliffs, points or coves can act as barriers against the wind. By choosing sectors where the wind is favorable, i.e. at your back, you can continue to practice your passion, even in less clement weather.

The coastline, an area particularly rich in food
In autumn, water temperatures are still fairly mild, but can drop rapidly depending on wind direction. Easterly winds are often responsible for a sudden drop in temperature.
Forage fish and predatory fish then move closer to the shore, in a less agitated zone than offshore. Coastal anglers will be well advised to prospect wind-exposed areas: the wind pushes prey towards the shore, and predators follow.

Great fishing sessions are possible during this period
It's best to keep your outings short. After all, it's no secret that the days are much shorter than in summer.
Taking the boat out right after work is difficult because of the timing. On the other hand, a two-hour trip from shore, fishing until nightfall, is perfectly feasible.
The minimal logistics and ease of access to certain spots encourage many anglers, including those accustomed to boat fishing, to carry out sessions from the shore.
What's more, the end of the day and the beginning of the night are ideal times for catching predatory fish.

Estuaries, the ultimate refuge
Estuaries are areas far upstream from the coast, where fish do not hesitate to swim far up these inlets. Often steep-sided and sheltered, these areas are ideal when the shoreline is too exposed to a strong gale.

Estuaries are very rich in food: fry, crabs and other small crustaceans colonize the banks. The big fish know it, and you'll surely be able to land a trophy fish.
