About European Seabass
A prized, hard-fighting coastal predator that hunts in surf, estuaries, harbours and around rocky reefs, often following tides and bait close to shore. Lure anglers cast surface plugs, shads and metals; bait fishers use ragworm, sandeel and squid. The bite peaks on moving water, especially the hours around dawn and dusk.
Typical size: Typically 1 to 3 kg; trophy fish exceed 6 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 10 kg (varies by region).
