**Velipojë’s top pick in early fall: European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)**. If you’d rather chase something in the interior waterbody, the nearby Shkodra Lake edge has good odds for pike and perch too. Here’s the short, practical guide to what to target, where to fish, and how to fish it when the weather is sunny and the air is around 21°C (69.8°F) with light to moderate winds.

**Why seabass is the best overall target here**
- **Tough fighter, great on the plate, and widely available along the Adriatic coast.** Seabass patrol weedlines, rocky creeks, and groynes, especially in early fall when they’re actively feeding after the hot summer. 🐟
- They’ll hit both lures and live bait, so you can adapt to what you have on hand.
- They’re a fun challenge for both shore and boat setups, making them the most consistent “best” across seasons in Velipojë.

**Where to look for seabass around Velipojë**
- Shore structures: rocky shores, pilings, groynes, and edges of weedlines along the Adriatic coast. Cast parallel to structure; seabass hold tight to cover.
- Currents and depth changes: look for drop-offs and edges where the water depth changes; seabass will ambush prey here.

**Gear and rig ideas (springy fall setup)**
- Rod/reel: medium-action rod, 7–8 feet; reel in the 2500–3000 size range; line: 15–20 lb braided line with a 20–30 lb fluorocarbon leader.
- Lure/bait options:
  - Soft plastics: 3–4 inch paddletail swimbaits in natural or dark colors; slow-to-moderate retrieves with occasional pauses.
  - Metal jigs: 15–40 g for casting to deeper pockets or working the edges.
  - Light live bait: small sardines or shrimp when legal and available.
- Tips: keep your leaders a bit longer in clear water to reduce braid bite; try a shallow presentation early in the morning and a deeper one later in the day as sun climbs higher.

**Techniques that pay off**
- Cast parallel to structure and retrieve with a steady pace, adding short pauses to tempt bites.
- In clearer water, a slow, wounded-fish pace often triggers strikes; in stained water, go brighter and slightly faster.
- If you’re fishing from shore in the Velipojë area, switch to a slightly longer cast and a low-anchor, high-contrast lure (chalky white, silver, or chartreuse) to draw attention.

**Early fall weather note (seasonal impact)**
- Sunny days with air temps around 20–22°C keep seabass feeding along the shallows but also push them to mid-depths near structure later in the day. Use lighter leaders in clear water and be mindful of a breezier afternoon—that wind can help line speed for jigs, but can also push you off structure if you’re shore-bound.

**Alternative targets near Shkodra Lake (if you want a backup plan)**
- *Pike* and *perch* along lake edges respond to spinners and jigging spoons; use 1/8–1/2 oz jigs and small spoons for perch.
- *Carp* and *catfish* in the late-season lagoons can be worth a night session with boilies or corn on the bank.

**Regulations & etiquette**
- Check local rules for size/possession limits; practice catch-and-release where appropriate to keep Velipojë’s fisheries healthy.
