Merijärvi

Merijärvi is a saltwater spot in Varsinais-Suomi, Finland, and the kind of place where tide does most of the work. The hours either side of high water tend to be the most productive on the coast here. At Merijärvi, structure — reefs, drop-offs, headlands, harbour walls — concentrates baitfish, and predators follow. A good local rule: if the bait isn't where you expect it to be, the fish won't be either.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

• For European perch

• For Zander

  Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
