When you're sailing or motoring, there always comes a time when you want to fish. But how do you go about it when you don't practice this activity? How do you get the right equipment on board, and how do you handle it?
We called on Finistère-based lure manufacturer Fiiish to explain the basics of fishing to us. Matthieu Guennal, designer of Fiiish lures, and Fred Lavion, fishing electronics specialist at Garmin, did us the honor of sharing their fishing outings with us.
For 2 days, they accompanied us to various fishing spots to show us the techniques and equipment to use. And with their explanations, despite our lack of knowledge in the field, we caught fish: bass, pollack, Saint-Pierre... came to bite on our lures.
This first episode explains the equipment you need for lure fishing. In addition to the lure, Fred and Matthieu give us information on the braid, rod and reel that will be used to animate them.
The choice of lure is crucial to good fishing. The quality of the lure will make it attractive to the fish. You need to have several of different sizes and colors to try out different combinations. Follow the guide!
