How to Fish Cuttlefish from the Shore
Sepia! Also known as cuttlefish or cuttlefish, it is a decapod cephalopod mollusk, that is, it has 10 arms. This species inhabits the bottom of shallow seas of sand or sediment, where they can partially bury themselves. And also, take advantage of aquatic herbs and algae.
Cuttlefish live in areas close to the coast, approximately 150 meters away, so it is possible to fish them from the shore.
The best time to fish from the shore is beginning in autumn, after the second half of September until the beginning of November. Just during this period, it is when large agglomerations of cuttlefish occur in shallow water.
To fish for cuttlefish from shore, you must cast the line as far as your arms and fishing gear will allow you. And you must let the rig reach the bottom and reel in smoothly, slowly and linearly.
You must have adequate fishing equipment that allows you to make long casts. To do this, we recommend:
- Light fishing rod, capable of casting more or less heavy sinkers over long distances
- Good capacity fishing reels, with a sufficiently high recovery rate
- 0,30 mm fishing line that is resistant
- Plumb bobs that have little air resistance, so you can reach the desired distance in the cast
- Specific lures for cuttlefish, such as squid jigs, that are smaller than those used by fishermen from boats
- Net or net, approximately 3 meters in length, ideal for removing the pieces more quickly
- There are never other elements such as scissors, spools of thread, and flashlights, in case the night catches you fishing
Among other things, you should take with you a small bottle of liquid soap and a clean rag. This is to clean the ink that the cuttlefish drop when touched.
Having these elements, and the basic knowledge, you will be able to fish for cuttlefish from the shore without any inconvenience. Good luck!
