N°1 | Bitterling Fish
The Bitterling fish is a freshwater fish and belongs to the Cyprinidae family. Its scientific name is Rhodeus Amarus. The current size of the bitterling fish is 5-6 cm. Some individuals can reach a maximum height of 11 cm and a weight of 10 g. This species is one of the smallest Cyprinid in Europe. It lives on average from 2 to 3 years. The spawning period is between April and June. It lays 40 to 100 oocytes. This fish is easy to catch due to its small size. The bitterling is a small fish whose body is high and laterally compressed. The lateral line is short or incomplete. The scales on the back have a grey-green coloring. The sides are clear with silvery reflections. During the breeding period the silver coloration changes to a pink to bright red color with a dark blue sideband. Sexual dimorphism occurs between the male and female during reproduction. A 5 to 8 mm laying tube (ovipositor) develops in the female, which allows her to lay her eggs in the gill cavity of freshwater mussels. The male has a higher body than the female and its colors become brighter during the breeding season. The bitterling fish's eyes are quite large. Its mouth is small, oblique and the upper jaw protrudes beyond the lower jaw. The anal and dorsal fins have a short base and 8 to 10 branched rays.

N°3 | Bleak Fish
The Bleak fish is a Cyprinidae. In general, its average size is 10 to 15 cm and its weight is 15 to 50 g. However, some individuals can reach up to 60 g for a size of 25 cm.

This fish swims quite fast and offers a little resistance during the catch. The bleak is a fish with an elongated body that is very compressed laterally, allowing it to have a high velocity. The upper jaw is shorter than the lower jaw. The mouth of the bleak is oriented upwards (above), a typical character of fish that seek their food on the surface. The caudal fin is strongly indented and the caudal peduncle is thin. The dorsal fin is inserted behind the pelvic fins and has a shorter base than the dorsal fin. Its name refers to the bright white color of its scales, which gives the bleak a metallic sheen. Its back is darker greenish-blue, its sides are silvery white and its fins are pale grey.

N°1 | Throw fishing for royal bream
Throw Fishing consists in throwing your line offshore or into estuaries, coastal ponds or harbors from rocks or from an artificial structure (dock, dike, hold, jetty...). In order to fish for sea bream, stable weather remains more appropriate because, despite everything, sea bream do not appreciate turbulence and tend, in bad weather, to find refuge towards the bottom. A very active species during the day, it is usually one hour after and before sunset that the hits are more frequent! When it comes to fishing for sea bream, sliding fixtures are the most effective. Indeed, the slightest suspicious tension when taking the bait makes the bream flee. A sliding assembly allows the bream to leave with the hook without feeling any resistance. As this fish is particularly fearful, a slider lead assembly or the use of stacks above the lead seems to be the most appropriate. Once you see the tip of the rod moving, if the key is straightforward, you must press immediately, otherwise it is better to wait until the key is confirmed (usually the sea bream drops once, spits out the bait and if it does not detect anything suspicious, returns more frankly). It is therefore necessary to be extremely vigilant at the slightest touch.
N°2 | Jig fishing or Cast fishing for mackerel
Mackerel evolve in schools. The challenge is to find the benches. A seagull bite may eventually help you, but the easiest way is to use a sonar. Mackerel move to a depth that varies with water temperature, weather conditions and water transparency. The sonar unit will therefore help you to identify how deep they are moving. In general, mackerel will be found on the surface in calm weather and when the water is clear enough. On the contrary, when the sea is rough, the latter will tend to descend between two waters, or even into deep waters. Once the bank is spotted, you should approach it as discreetly as possible and let yourself drift in such a way as to pass through it (you will turn off the engine, especially if the fish are on the surface). You will let your submachine gun down and animate it in a jigsaw. This means that you will make more or less wide movements with your rod in order to raise and lower your hooks erratically. If the ban moves a little further away, you can also throw your machine gun and bring it back with a little scion blows. Vary the recovery rates and depth to maximize your chances. If the ban is on the surface (you will spot it thanks to the seagulls who will take advantage of the opportunity), opt for a quick recovery and on the surface. It is also a very fun fishing to do in a kayak.
N°3 | Support fishing for Bass
The support fishing is a bottom fishing technique. It consists in putting a setting of a lead with one or more hooks that are let down. Once the assembly is at the bottom, the line is stretched and the touch is waited, keeping the rod in hand. You can fish with different baits depending on the morphology of the bottom. Like all bait fishing techniques, you have to find the right balance between discretion and robustness. The bar will have time to go around the setting before swallowing the bait, so maximum discretion is required.
N°4 | Surfcasting
What is surfcasting? Surfcasting is an English term that literally means "to throw in the wave". This technique, practiced from the edge, consists in sending your bait hook (i.e. weighted with bait) behind the waves. Ideally, it is a matter of launching your line further than the third wave (behind the rollers, about a hundred meters away) to reach the areas where the most beautiful catches are found. Some experienced fishermen manage to propel their lead to more than 160 m offshore, however, fishing from 20 m from the shore can already give good results! If this technique is particularly recreational fishing, it is nevertheless complex: it requires specific equipment, a good knowledge of the tides, a certain fingering and finally power to make beautiful throws.
N°5 | Where to fish for mullet ?

N°6 | Angling squid with sardine
If there is a bait that squid can't resist, it's sardine! This cephalopod is fond of this dish; it doesn't hesitate to literally rush on it. So, let's not deprive ourselves of this ancestral trick to capture the squid that could well avoid some other lures.
