At first glance, spearfishing is the easiest practice to set up. A rod, fishing line, a cork, a few small weights, a hook, that's all you need to start fishing with a simple hook. You will also need to choose a bait or baits likely to interest the targeted fish species.

In fresh water, fishing with a shot allows you to catch all kinds of fish. A worm or a maggot for bait and you will have the possibility to fish for white fish (bleak, gudgeon, roach, brèmeâeuros¦). But this practice can also be used to look for trout, fario or rainbow, perch and many other species.

In the sea, the fishing with the blow allows to fish the rock fishes as well as the various species which one can find near the dikes or harbour works.

The fact that you don't have a line reserve limits you to small to medium size catches since it will be difficult to fight a nice fish.

Fishing with a landing allows you to explore further and deeper. In the sea, we talk about surfcasting, a technique that allows you to fish along the beaches or dykes in search of various species. While in fresh water, you can practice for example the feeder fishing for white fish or carp fishing. The fishing known as the landing is practiced with a casting rod (equipped with rings) and a spinning reel.
