FIRST FISH, FIRST FISH
You have certainly already crossed during your holidays, fishermen who took advantage of the benefits of the sea and its wonderful landscapes. Perhaps you even wondered how and with what equipment could we catch a fish? There are simple and affordable techniques for all to take its first fish by the sea.
To begin with, fishing for small fish on board appears to be the most suitable. It can be practiced everywhere and simply. It targets the small fish that live near our coasts. This fishing is very accessible and allows to spend good moments with family or friends. It is also an excellent way to introduce children to the practice of fishing and respect for nature.
Technical question, the fishing of the edge is by far the easiest way to start. A set ready to fish consisting of a rod of 3 or 4 meters with a line mounted and a few worms will allow you to catch small fish. Do not hesitate to take a lead box with you to adjust the weight of the assembly if necessary. If you want to fish more than 5 meters from the edge, you can use a set with a reel.
RESTORATION OF FISH
The release of a fish must be done in such a way that it retains a good chance of survival. The fish should be handled gently and the hook removed gently. To facilitate this step, crush the pin of the hook in order to easily unhook the fish. To avoid damaging the fish, wet your hands. Then do not throw the fish in the water, but put it down gently. He will go away on his own.

CHOOSING YOUR FISHING CORNER
The immensity of the sea can be problematic when choosing an area suitable for fishing. Fortunately, to start with family or friends, the posts to get involved in the fishing are often near the places of holidays. The harbors, dykes and rocky coasts are true pantries for fish that do not hesitate to approach them for food. Shrimps, crabs, worms, the list of delicacies present is long. These are areas that you will need to fish to catch fish.
SOME RULES OF LIFE ON THE WATER
In fishing as in life, respect is paramount. By acting with courtesy at the water's edge, other fishermen will be more willing to help you when needed. Here are some rules to remember for a good time at the water's edge:
1- Do not sit next to another fisherman. Keep a respectful distance of about ten meters.
2-Do not throw anything near the line of a fisherman. There are other places more suitable for launching ...
3-Do not throw your line under the nose of another fisherman. Beyond the risks of entanglements, it is a lack of good manners.
4- If you are fishing in a harbor, watch out for the boats. Throwing too close to them increases the risk of hitting boats and getting tangled in the ropes. Prefer the open areas to begin.
5-The coastline is for everyone and self-respect. Take care to leave nothing to drag (hooks, detritus, etc.), during and after your fishing party.
WALK FISHING
The shores contain a rich diversity of living species such as shellfish, shrimp or other crabs. It is an ideal activity to discover underwater life with children. Every summer, many vacationers indulge along the coast. It is important to respect some good practices (regulation, catch sizes) so that this fishery remains sustainable for the greatest number.
ROCHERS, SANDS: WHERE TO FISH ON FOOT?
On the Atlantic coast, fishing takes place at low tide when the coastline is discovered. There are several fishing areas with different funds and species.
The sandy areas
These discovered areas shelter numerous shells such as hulls, knives, tellines ... Long sandy areas are very
easily accessible.
They are therefore particularly suitable for fishing with children due to the absence of sharp rocks.
Rocky areas
In these environments live many crustaceans but also shellfish fixed like mussels or oysters. We must seek life in the smallest recesses (faults, rocks, cavities ...).
Muddy areas
Ecologically rich, these areas are teeming with life and shelter many shells, crustaceans, as well as small fish. Having boots is not superfluous because it is easy to sink on muddy bottoms, which hinders progress.
In the Mediterranean, the absence of tides makes it more difficult to locate and collect shellfish. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to collect tellines, clams, or even mussels.
EQUIPMENT
The equipment must remain simple so as not to be unnecessarily cumbersome. A small plastic basket will be perfectly adapted for the initiation of the children to this activity. The capacity will be sufficient to carry crabs, shrimps or shells. A small light dip net with a not too large net will allow the children to handle it with ease.
There are several tools dedicated to the collection of shells such as the oyster ax, the clam knife or the claw claw.
For shrimp, the use of a havenet for rocky areas or a bichette for the sandy areas makes it possible to catch many crustaceans.
#Tip Caplan
Equip your children with polarizing glasses to remove the reverberation. Thus, they will discover the incredible richness that a modest puddle can enclose during a tide.A FEW TIPS
1-It is up to you to inquire before each fishing part to check that there are no local or temporary prohibitions. For this, you can go to the tourist office, the town hall, the port, etc ...2- Find out about tide schedules so you do not get trapped. These schedules are available easily at the nearest tourist office, on the port, on the internet ...
3 - Every turned stone must be returned to the place to avoid the life it sheltered does not dry in the sun ... This small innocuous gesture makes all the difference.
4- Equip yourself against sunburn. The freshness of the sea air often makes us forget the heat but the sun is always present.
5- To avoid sprains as well as cuts do not walk barefoot.
6- Respect the facilities of professional fishermen (oyster beds, nets, etc) imperatively.
