Grosse fishing
Big fishing is an adrenaline adventure that targets the most powerful marine predators. With the use of imposing baits or lures, this technique attracts trophies such as Marlin, tuna and swordfish. When one of these marine fighters bites the hook, an epic fight between the fisherman and the fish begins. This method requires control of heavy equipment and skills to play and defeat fish.
Train fishing
Holding fishing offers a dynamic approach to target a variety of species, such as tuna, mackerel and barracuda. This method consists in moving a lure or bait behind the moving boat, thus simulating the movement of a prey. The speed, the type of lures and the depth are essential factors for the success of this method.
Palangrotte fishing
Palangrotte fishing is a traditional technique that targets species such as The grouper, the sea bream and the conger, who live near the seabed. This method implies the use of a line equipped with several hooks spaced regularly. The baits are arranged on the hooks, then the line is lowered to the bottom and attached to a buoy on the surface. Patience and thoroughness are essential to succeed in this technique.
Dandine fishing
Dandine fishing is versatile and ideal for targeting fish close to the bottom. This technique uses a line equipped with one or more hooks, to which baits are attached such as pieces of fish, calamari or octopuses. The line is slowly lowered, allowing the baits of "dandinating" near the sea soil. Species like the bar, the place and the merlan are often captured thanks to this method.
Lure fishing
Lure fishing is a stimulating approach that uses imitations of living bait to attract predatory fish. These lures, available in various shapes, sizes and colors, imitate different prey. By launching and recovering the lures, the fishermen try to simulate the natural movements of the prey fish, encouraging the predatory fish to bite. This technique is popular to target species like The pike, bar and mackerel.
Buoy fishing
Bouée fishing, or "floating line fishing", is simple and effective for targeting fish living near the surface or in intermediate waters. A buoy is anchored at sea with an attached line, comprising hooks and baits at different depths. The suspended baits attract fish close to the desired surface or depth. This technique is ideal for Mackerel, bonite fishing and other pelagic species.
Vertical fishing
Vertical fishing is perfect for targeting fish that move deep or near the bottom. It consists in depositing a lure or bait directly under the boat, then making them go up and down vertically through the water column. This method often uses lures specially designed to imitate vertical prey. The place, the pagre and the skinny are some of the species targeted by this technique.
