THE SECRETS OF THE BEACH AND COASTAL SPINNING
THE KEY TO SUCCESS
THE INFINITE METAMORPHOSIS
No sandy beach remains unchanged throughout a season. The constant force with which the ocean batters the beach with its storms makes it a constantly evolving landscape, if you'll pardon the redundancy.
Therefore, every year a new study of the beach in question is necessary, where the ocean digs and where it deposits, in order to see the areas of greatest depth each year and whether storms have exposed areas of natural attraction such as rocky shores, channels or runoff.
THE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR COASTAL SPINNING
Each sandy beach in Spain has its own unique conditions ideal for spinning. The key is to observe the wind and tide conditions that create the clearest possible water, allowing the lures to effectively trigger predation in the fish that inhabit the beach.
DISADVANTAGES OF BEACH FISHING
Firstly, the swell or "swell" will generate strong currents in the shoreline where the fish feed, making the ambush zone uncomfortable for them due to the constant suction of the waves generated by the swell.
Secondly, full moons, which apart from going hand in hand with tides of large and noticeable coefficients, generate such luminosity that it facilitates nocturnal predation, decreasing the difficulty of defense of baitfish compared to the luminosity generated by daytime sunlight where they defend themselves easily.
MAXIMUM SATISFACTION
Landing a great catch on the seashore gives you double satisfaction because on the one hand it is the ultimate expression of nature where man, from land, his environment, interferes in another environment, the sea, creating an interference in the natural food chain by means of a lure that imitates a baitfish propelled by a rod that in turn will give life to this "inert being" to generate a fictitious predation scenario that will become effective with the bite of a predatory fish.
On the other hand, in such a large expanse of sand and water you will have the feeling of looking for a needle in a haystack, intensifying the excitement when you get the bite.
"To fish on the beach, first study it, and only then will you reap nature's reward."
LIGHT EQUIPMENT IS ENOUGH
One advantage the beach offers is the lack of need for heavy equipment, allowing you to spend long days with countless casts without noticing physical strain on your arms, shoulders, and back.
Besides, there's the added enjoyment of using light tackle when fighting fish, and at the same time, the peace of mind of using it for big catches due to the absence of difficult areas to land the fish.
IDEAL SCENARIO FOR SURFACE SPINNING
For me, this is the most exciting fishing method of all, simply because you see the fish strike right at eye level, which intensifies the thrill of the cast. A beach with clear water and a surface explosion will make the catch unforgettable, like no other method.
