An area to discover
When you are passionate about fishing, you are always looking to discover new techniques, to fish for new species. Have you considered fishing in very little water? This area, very close to the shore, contains an abundance of life and an impressive variety of species. Zvonimir's blennie, red or yellow triperygion, sphynx blennie, redmouth goby many of them are unknown fish.
Fun and exciting fishing
Trying to catch these small colored fish is a lot of fun and quickly becomes exciting if you are a curious fisherman. Fishing is accessible to all, easy to practice with children and quickly becomes fun. All you have to do is choose a defined area such as a dike, a beach or along a quay. Then you will have to fish every square meter to discover the multitude of species present.
A basic equipment
For anglers already adept at rockfishing, a rod as sensitive as possible between 0.8 grams and 1.5 grams will suit this type of fishing. Otherwise, a simple rod tip will be enough to prospect in your feet. The leader should be as discreet as possible, preferably below 14/100. As for the hooks, the ideal is to find very small leaded heads. The simplest is a fine hook of a size between 14 and 20, above which you pinch one or two small weights.
Very small bites
As you can see, most fish have very small mouths and will have trouble luring normal-sized baits or lures. You can cut a piece of soft lure to fit the size of the hook. You can also simply fish with tiny bits of worms or shrimp.
Sight fishing
To get the most out of it, it's best to fish in calm seas and clear water. Place your rig gently in a very small amount of water and waddle very slowly. Very quickly, the different species present on the rock will appear before your eyes. You will have to be quick and quick not to let the fish get bogged down and to strike delicately. Of course this fishing must be practiced only in "catch and release". To unhook and release the fish easily, remember to crush the barb of your hook.
So, have fun fishing for unsuspected fish species...
