Question

FishGPT · Accepted Answer

**Best shore jigging spots in Corsica (mid fall edition)**

- **Cap Corse – Bastia to Centuri and Macinaggio**: rocky promontories, deep water close in, and current seams that fire seabass and dentex. Cast to the outer ledges and work along the structure where the tide runs over rocks.
- **East coast pockets from Bastia south toward Solenzara and Porto-Vecchio**: look for rocky coves, breakwaters, and channel edges where depth drops quickly; great for seabass, bonito and other pelagic runners.
- **West coast around Ajaccio, Propriano and Cargèse**: long rocky coastlines with shelf drop-offs; prime early morning or late afternoon sessions for seabass, wrasse, and mackerel.
- **South coast near Bonifacio**: dramatic cliffs and clear blue water; jig along drop-offs and around points for bigger seabass and snapper specimens.

- **Tactics and gear**:
  - Carry a versatile shore jig setup: 2.0–2.5 m rod, 15–40 g jigs for locals, and 60–120 g for deeper pockets.
  - Cast to structure, then do steady pulls with short pauses to trigger bites; snap-jig and slow-jerk both work where currents move along rocks.
  - Colors that work well: natural sardine, blue/purple, pink/white; blade jigs for lively action in windy conditions.
  - Pair jigging with soft plastics on lightweight jig heads to cover sand patches near reefs.

- **Mid fall weather notes**:
  - Water temps are cooling but often still warm enough for active feeding; target dawn and dusk for the best bite windows.
  - Autumn winds (Mistral or southerly gusts) can punch up current; pick sheltered coves on windy days or time your session for calmer windows.
  - Cast beyond breaks and feel the edge where current lines meet structure; that’s where the action tends to concentrate.
