To keep in mind
Important when tying a knot, wet (moisten) the thread. In this way it slides and fits perfectly.
Regarding the fish, they will come close to the coast in search of food when the waters are rising and they will retire with the downspouts, ideally in general, the last two hours of the downspout and the first hours of the flood and the last of the rising and the following two of the downspouts Fishing charter Florida keys.
Read the sea
This will allow us to “read” the water and find the right place to make our attempts. This reading consists of determining which are the deepest gutter areas close to the coast. When observing the sea we will notice that there are breakers of the waves and places where it rises making the typical wave, where the gutter is located, being the place of the breaker (white foam) where the sandbank is located. In the areas with little water, the capture of large stingrays is very common and accompanies the fishing for the dogfish.
Continuing with the reading of the water, we will be able to observe as we circulate that these gutters change their conditions of depth, proximity to the beach, color of the water, currents, etc. We will see places with a very close first gutter, then a sandbank and then a second gutter. This first case is the most common in the Mar de Ajó area. In other sectors there is a very large first gutter and the second is not visible. This case is common around Estancia Romano, near the Querandí Lighthouse and on the CELPA beaches in Mar Chiquita. For dogfish fishing we should try in the first case to cast the tackle in the 2nd gutter looking for a sector in which the first gutter disappears or is very low, in such a way that it allows us to get a little into the sea, reach the sandbar and be able to throw the line to second from there. In the case of a very large first gutter, we will throw the gear as far as possible without having to enter the sea. It is clear that this fishing is attempted in the deepest sector that we find.
As we know in the sea we have a strong current, until the maximum rising tide (high tide) or the maximum ebbing tide (low tide) occurs, at which time the current decreases until it becomes almost zero, both at high tide and low tide are good times for pike , but if I had to choose one, I would prefer the high tide. Therefore, before doing the excursion it is convenient to plan it properly, with the tide table we calculate the time to be in the fishing place 2 hours before the high tide occurs.
Learn to Read the Sea
One of the most practical and simple ways to locate these areas is found in the reading of the interval with which the waves break on the coast. In the Atlantic area, the waves of oceanic origin usually result in the generation of groups made up of three successive waves and clearly differentiated from each other, popularly known by the nickname “the three Marys”. This cadence in the waves that reach our coast will be slowed down in proportion to the depth of the coastal area where they arrive, thus being able to be read one by one with a greater interval between them in those sectors of the coast where it reaches greater depth.
The areas produced by the accumulation and natural sedimentation of mollusk shells, boulders, pebbles or sand of greater density and that, like small natural platforms, allow us to go deeper into the sea even when nearby areas are flooded, thus becoming splendid fishing posts that allow us to steal those extra meters that sometimes we need to reach the area we are looking for.
The natural elevation of these sectors above the total level of the coast, as well as their penetration into the sea, will not only allow us to reach remote areas but, as we will see later, they usually form part of the constitution of the ends of the beaches. in ensenada and that, depending on its dimensions, we will be able to make it practicable from some of these privileged positions.
A walk along the fine sand beach where a clear and concentrated deposit of shells of molluscs or bivalves can be seen is not indicating anything, and it is nothing more than, very possibly and right in front of us, it is probable that there is an area of great nutritional wealth within reach of our lines.
Finding areas delimited by pebbles or small stones in our sandbanks are an unequivocal sign of nearby deep areas that absorb much of the fine sand from the immediate areas, locating large deposits of wood, branches or highly buoyant elements delimited in a specific area It clearly shows us the place where a powerful current from sea to land “CHUPON” ends with all the transit of food in suspension that this entails.
See Under Water
We only see the different places on the coast, when the sea is calm (not flat) and there are no big waves that break from afar and come crashing down.
We see the deep and shallow areas, due to the waves, waves and breakers, on days with good sea conditions there are two well-defined breakers, one that rises and breaks on the second bank that is further away and another wave a little lower , which rises and breaks on the 1st bank that is nearby, behind the breakers there are slings that do not break, there in the lowest waves, is where the greatest depth of the channel is.
See by the Color of the Sea
Light shallow depth, dark deeper, on exceptional days of light green sea, generally with a light wind from the southeast or south, we can see deeper because the sea turns dark green.
When we get into the water, there is a gentle slope in general and a saw then comes a step and it is where the gutter begins. This depth increases until the gutter ends and where the hole is located, which is the deepest part of the channel. This is why long casts are important when, like or in Querandí Lighthouse, the gutters are wide, the hole is the feeding place for large fish and, seen from the surface, it is where the lowest waves are behind the breaker. Hoya is at the foot of the bank.
After each southeast, the geography of the coast changes and starts again at low tide to recognize the beaches and relocate the best places.
Beach fishermen look for the deepest places to fish (especially where there are no stones) suckers and pots are the deepest parts of the gutters, the sucker is a place of passage for the water and the fish that enter and They come out of the channel, therefore preferred sites for large fish that prey on smaller ones. The sucker is a mouth of the gutter that opens in the bank, through which the channel is filled and emptied of water, there the bank is cut in a well-defined way and a street of turbulent water is usually seen that enters perpendicular or diagonally to the sea. In general, the sucker has the shape of a funnel that crosses the bank in every channel, there is one inlet and one outlet, before the mouth of the funnel in the channel there is usually a deep pot.
The best place to fish when the tide is rising is in the pot on the inlet sucker and when it is ebbing in the second channel on the outlet sucker.
In the suckers the sea is bristling but without breakers, because it does not raise waves as on the sides where there is a bank, on the sides of the sucker the waves do not advance parallel to the coast, but transversally, they intertwine and collide with each other. At the beach where this sucker’s mouth slopes sharply, the shoreline plummets and you go from knee-to-chest water as you go down the step. On the shore there is usually a blanket of shells and snails.
The Winds, the State of the Sea etc.
The wind is fundamental, the fish move against it, with predominantly land winds the varied fishing species approach the shore, with a strong wind from the sea they move away. When this wind is moderate from the sea, it cleans and oxygenates, increasing the activity of the fish, when there are many days of offshore wind and high temperatures clouding the sea, it is the ideal time to have very good varied fishing, otherwise wind of sea refreshes and clarifies the sea water, the varied one occurs when the sun goes down, since the blue and transparent water lets the intense light pass through, these fish (cocks-Dogfish-rays-mongrels are not very fond of a lot of light) , sudden changes in atmospheric pressure is detected by fish as fast as the barometer, That is why it happens that a day or two before a storm the activity of the fish is cut off, which have already withdrawn from the coast. Knowing when such a species enters or moves away from the coast, added to knowing the forecast of the winds in advance, is essential. Looking for bays in which the prevailing wind does not affect them is very good since the fish will use them as a refuge.
Another important point is the lunar phases, since the fish feed or not according to the movement of the moon.
2º winds
This part of the Buenos Aires coast is directly affected by these inclement weather conditions that usually bring us some unpleasant surprises (besides appearing suddenly), which means that the line cannot be pulled out due to the force of the waves, it cannot be casting because of a strong headwind, that the force of the water pulls our line out of the water or, what is worse, that the sea is too broken for the fish not to get close. The ideal is the soft wind from the East or Northeast quadrant sustained for a few days (these have the power to “pull up” clear waters), so that the fish come close to the “green” water from offshore, which can ruin a fabulous day of fishing in this area is the strong wind from the South or Southeast.
The good winds are the soft ones from the East for the varied in general and for the sharks. The North clouds the water and brings closer the small “blonde” but also the big sea catfish.
With winds from the South, South East and East that clean the sea and make the water look greenish, fish in the 1st gutter, a buoy can be placed on the lines so that it lifts, North Wind, Northeast the water becomes cloudy, fish in the 2nd gutter. In coastal waters, the most visible colors at 50 meters are predominantly green and yellow. With a SOUTH wind, the clear water is brought closer by the silverside, the north wind; we can say that this muddies the water. So we can look for species that like this condition, among others catfish, when it suddenly changes from north to northeast during the day catfish will surely appear, when it rains, at night and the next day the sea is very ironed with a breeze very soft from the north, first the stripes appear, then the brotolas with the wind This good varied fishing in general since it brings dirtier waters that come with shrimp and behind them the fish. strong south wind and the next day rotating to the east (clear water) good fishing for whiting. With a southerly wind and rotating to the west, ironing croakers as well as with the north, with strong northerly winds and medium stormy good fishing for sea catfish.
3º winds
If we take the Querandí Lighthouse, the north and northeast wind will bring warm and dark water while the south and southeast bring cold and clear water, with north, northeast and east and as far as possible well moved where everything stirs is ideal for catfish!! If there is a lot of wind, surely more species of skin than scale will come out (just like when there is a full moon). What the wind does is bring hot or cold water and that makes the hot water species crack if it enters cold and vice versa! The best times are always sunrise and sunset, which are the times where all species commonly feed, catfish and sharks with northeast, which is wind that dirtyes the water and stirs the bottom, give these species a good environment, although In the Querandi, with a smooth south east, first-rate shark fishing has been done.
