Have you ever been bay fishing? A bay is described as a notch or stretch of shoreline that is too small to be considered a gulf but too large to be a cove. Bays provide cover and have an abundance of baitfish making it the perfect place for many species of fish to thrive. This makes it an excellent fishing opportunity for any angler looking for a great day on the water.
Bay fishing is very popular and enjoyed by anglers both young and old. It is just as fun and exciting as fishing in lakes and rivers and the more you know about bay areas the more productive you can be. If you are new to this sport here are some tips to help you get started.
Bay fishing tips:
You can use spinning reels and baitcasting reels when bay fishing but they should be able to handle between six to twelve pound test lines.
Monofilament line is a good selection when fishing in bays. It's strong enough to reel in the larger fish and easy to work with.
The best time to go bay fishing is when the tide is changing from low to high or anytime between a couple hours before and after high tide.
Bay fishing is usually the best when the current is strong.
Fish in the grassy areas, around structures and in the shallow water.
