Fish in the very shallow water

With costal fishing, it is good practice to fish in the shallow water before venturing out. This is especially important in Limfjorden.

Fish are caught in shallow water:
Experience shows that the vast majority of fish are caught in the complete inland and often in very shallow water, down to 20-30 centimeters in depth. Consequently, it is important to fish near the surface to minimize the risk of seabed, seaweed, and eelgrass. Most local anglers use lures size 4-12 grams or a floating or lightweight fly.

Fish from land:
The reason why the fish swim closer to land in Limfjorden than in other places is unknown. However, one explanation could be the high density of seals in Limfjorden, who then push the sea trout in to completely shallow waters. Fishing from land has the clear advantage of not scaring the fish and you can cover the water to locate the fish much faster.
