For a successful fishing trip, you need the right material. Here are some tips and suggestion that may help you.

N°2 | Tips on material to catch Pollack with longline

Here are some articles that will guide you about your equipment for fishing the site with a machine gun

N°3 | Deep-sea fishing

What is deep-sea fishing? Deep-sea fishing is, as its name suggests, a deep-sea fishery. Performed at anchor or drifting, this vertical fishing makes it possible to explore underwater pits beyond 200 m and up to more than 1000 m. This exciting technique allows a wide variety of fish to be caught, which are not well known and inaccessible in conventional fishing, and is unanimously accepted by many enthusiasts. Basically, deep-sea fishing is for everyone, regardless of the boat! Nevertheless, it requires adequate equipment and a good knowledge of suitable positions. How about we study the subject in more depth?

N°4 | Fishing bass with soft lures

Drift Fishing with soft lure. Bass are fond of places where they can watch for their prey in the rocks. The biotopes developed in these structures (shallows, drop offs, wrecks...) are rich and attract wildlife from which the bass feeds itself. Soft lures are not themselves equipped with hooks but are designed to be mounted on a lead head that has a hook. The hook is above the lure, so when the lure hits the bottom, the hook does not stick. The originality and structure of these lures make them ideal for fishing in hard-to-reach areas. Where hard lures and traditional mounts fail to catch, the soft lure considerably reduces the risk of loss and allows fishing as close as possible to interesting rocks. The soft lure is mainly used for drifting. It is a question of passing over the spot by passing the lure as close as possible to the structures. So you have to be able to feel what is happening at the end of the line at any time to avoid trouble. Once the lure is at the bottom, it must be animated by pulling with the rod tip. Alternate between large, wide movements by gently descending, always in contact with the lure, and other smaller, more jerky movements that could decide which bar to attack. Whatever the techniques used, you should never hesitate to question yourself and change your spot, lure or technique if the fish does not bite.

N°5 | Throwing and dragging fishing for the garfish

The garfish -also known as a needlefish or sea needle-is a marine fish with a snake-like body and a long beak with small teeth. In adulthood, it measures on average between 40 and 50 cm. It is easily recognizable by its shape, silvery scales and green back. Its edges are also green in color. It can be fished for consumption because its flesh is very fine, or for live fishing by slow trolling.

N°6 | Squid fishing with jigs

Very popular, squid is as good on the plate as it is on your line. Indeed, as a true bait of choice, it has the particularity of attracting a large variety of very beautiful fish. For boat fishing, the ancestral and universal technique of vertical jigging is one of the most popular. It is most often practiced in drift with lightweight equipment that is easy to handle.
