N°3 | Brown Trout

The Brown Trout belongs to the Salmonidae family. According to the location, the adult size varies from 25 cm to 80 cm for 300 to 800 g. It lives for 3 to 6 years. The spawning period starts in October and end in January. The female can lay up to 4000 eggs. The fishing period is open from the second Saturday of March until the third Sunday of September. This fish is not hard to catch but the fishing needs complex skills. Depending on its environment, the brown trout have a very variable color, but the brown trout, as its name shows, is rather brown with scattered black and red spots, depending on the spawners. It has a certain mimicry according to the bottom of its living spaces since the dominant brown will become a green dress if it lives close to the banks where yellow and even sometimes silvery white will mix. It has a "useless" adipose fin between the dorsal fin and the caudal fin. The head is tapered, strong and has a powerful jaw. Its back is a pretty black or night blue.

N°4 | The Little Tunny

The Little Tunny belongs to the Scombridae family. The average size of little tunny can reach 81 cm in length and weigh up to 9.1 kg. The maximum size recorded is 122 cm and 16 kg. Little tunny can live up to 10 years. It spawns from April to November. It can be fished all year round. The little tunny has a robust torpedo-shaped body designed for powerful swimming. The mouth is large, slightly bent and terminal with rigid jaws. The lower jaw slightly protrudes from the upper jaw. There are two longitudinal ridges on the tongue. The body lacks scales, with the exception of the corselet and the lateral line. The corselet is a band of large and thick scales forming a circle around the body behind the head, extending backwards along the lateral line. The lateral line is slightly wavy with a slight arch below the dorsal fin, then straight towards the caudal keel. The caudal fin is deeply lunar, with a thin caudal pendulum including a short keel on each side. The first dorsal fin has high anterior spines that give it a concave contour, which is only very closely separated from the second dorsal fin. The pectoral fins are pointed and short and do not extend to the end of the first dorsal fin; the pelvic fins are inserted just behind the origin of the pectoral fins. The swim bladder is absent. This fish is steel blue with 3 to 5 broken dark wavy lines, not extending below the lateral line. The belly is white and lacks stripes. There are 3 to 7 black spots between the pelvic and pect

N°5 | The White Marlin

The White Marlin belongs to the Istiophoridae family. White marlin is smaller than many other sword fish. The maximum length for white marlin is 280 cm and the maximum weight is about 82 kg. It has a lifespan of about 18 years. They spawn in summer. The best time to catch white marlin is from June to August. This fish has a long, compressed, moderately fusiform body. The upper jaw forms a beak, with a round, long and thin cross-section compared to many other sword fish. Two dorsal fins and two anal fins are present. The first dorsal fin extends almost the entire length of the body, with a first lobe that shrinks abruptly towards the twelfth radius of the dorsal fin, then slowly. The maximum height of the large lobe is greater than the depth of the body. The second dorsal fin is inserted slightly behind the second anal fin. The first anal fin forms a strongly rounded lobe, while the second one approximately reflects the shape of the second dorsal fin above it. The pectoral fins are long and wide. The pelvic fins are inserted just below the origin of the pectoral fins. They are thin and equal to or slightly shorter than pectoral fins. The caudal peduncle contains a double keel. The body has a dense cover of bone scales. The lateral line is distinct and extends straight over the body, with only one curve on the origin of the dorsal fin. The body is dark blue above and silvery white below, with brown spots on the sides of the white part.

N°6 | The Queen Snapper

In general, juveniles weight between 5kg and 6kg, which are the most frequent catches. It has a lifespan of 8 years. It reproduces throughout the year. It can be fished all year round. Identifying the queen snapper is not difficult, since even other morwongs do not look like them. Sometimes, however, they can be more silvery than blue. They have yellow lines around the head, a long filament on the pectoral fin and blubbery lips make the snapper distinctly identifiable.

Fishing period : all year round

N°7 | Black Bream Fish

The Black breamfish, also known as Acanthopagrus butcheri, is a Sparidae. In general, its average size is 15 to 35 cm and its weight is 500 g to 2.5 kg.

The head is essentially flake-free, except for the lids. A flake sheath covers the soft ray bases of the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. The Black Bream is silvery, from golden brown or bronze to grey-green on the back as well as on the sides with sometimes greenish reflections, depending on its habitat. The belly is white.

N°8 | The King Mackerel

The King Mackerel belongs to the Scombridae family. The king mackerel is a medium-sized fish, generally weighing between 5 and 14 kg, but weighing more than 40 kg. Females can live up to 14 years, and males up to 11 years. It spawns from May to September. It can be fished from April to December. Unlike other members of Scombridae, mackerel do not have a black area on the front of the first dorsal fin. The mackerel king has 12 to 18 spines in his first dorsal fin; 15-18 rays in the second dorsal fin, followed by 7-10 pinnacles; and 21-23 rays in the pectoral fin. Its body is about five times larger than its head and about six times longer than its depth. The whole body is covered with rudimentary scales, except for its pectoral fin. The lateral line drops abruptly after the second dorsal fin, then continues to the tail, distinguishing it from red mackerel (Scomberomorus regalis). The king mackerel also lacks scales on the pectoral fins, as does the Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus), unlike the red mackerel which has scales extending over the pectoral fin. The king mackerel is a silver fish with indistinct bars or spots on the side. The dorsal surface is black with iridescent tones of blue and green. Young fish have small bronze spots on 5 or 6 irregular rows.

Fishing period : April to December

N°9 | The Spanish Mackerel

The Spanish Mackerel belongs to the Scombridae family. It has an average length of 50 to 80 cm for 3.2 kg. The maximum length recorded is 120 cm. Its maximum lifespan is about 20 years. They spawn from April to September. It is fished from March to September. Spanish mackerel has the contours of slender mackerel rather than bonito, its body being nearly 4½ at 5 times longer than depth. its two dorsal fins (like those of bonitoes) are barely separated, and secondly, because of its colorful pattern, its high slender dorsal shape and spotted sides distinguish it at first sight from our bonitoes, while its thin shape, long first dorsal fin and second dorsal fin contour distinguish it from the small tuna. Spanish mackerel is dark blue-green or blue-green above, pale below, like all Scombridae, and silvery, with many small oblong oval, dull orange or yellowish spots on its sides above the lateral line and below, which are highly diagnostic in nature. The fact that the membrane of the front third of its first dorsal fin is black, while its back part is greenish white, is also useful. The second dorsal and pectoral fins are pale yellowish with dark margins; the anal and ventral fins are white.
