Question

Ah, Sorrento’s coast, where the water glints like a fresh lemon and the fish love a good cliff-side bite. Here are the best bets for late fall, when the Mediterranean starts cooling and feeding windows open up. 🎣🌊

**Top shore and harbour spots**
- **Marina Grande (Sorrento harbor area)** – rocky edges and pilings give you solid chances for *seabass*, gilt-head seabream, and mullet. Best at dawn or dusk; cast along the pilings and edges where there’s current.
- **Puolo Beach / Cala di Puolo** – sheltered coves with accessible rocky walls; look for holds and crevices where seabass and bream tuck in. Great for a relaxed afternoon session from the breakwater.
- **Capo di Sorrento rocks & the nearby headlands** – rocky shoreline with drop-offs; you’ll often pull seabass, dentex, and other bottom-dwellers on light to mid-range gear. Work the edges during calm spells or after a light wind.

**Boat-access and deeper-water spots (great if you have a charters or a small craft)**
- **Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area (Capo di Sorrento to Massa Lubrense)** – deep-water edges and drop-offs where seabass and dentex frequent. Target with vertical jigging (20–40 g jigs) or slow- to mid-speed retrieves with soft plastics along the drop-offs.
- **Capo di Sorrento headland vicinity & channels toward Capri** – deeper channels hold predators; good for bottom flicking and jigging. A boat broadens your option set well in late fall when fish are cruising along structure.

**Gear and tactics for late fall**
- Shore: light spinning rigs, 5–15 g metal jigs, soft plastic minnows; cast toward pilings and rock faces, work the water column from surface to about 2 m deep.
- Boat/rocky edge: jigging setups (20–40 g) for seabass and dentex; mix in drop-shot or soft plastics on the bottom when you’re near the shelf. If you find bait schools, switch to a faster pace and consider a small surface plug at first light.
- Live bait can be productive where legal; otherwise, bring a mix of soft plastics, spoons, and small diving minnows.

**Weather & late-fall notes**
- Late fall cools the Tyrrhenian Sea; expect choppier mornings with stronger winds. Plan dawn or late afternoon sessions when the sea can settle a bit. A light rain can push feeding activity, but keep an eye on short, gusty sirocco-type winds.
- Pelagic activity can rise around current changes. If a cold snap hits, focus on deeper structure rather than surf zones.
