Fair weather
This first day of high tides was ticked off the calendar, as it's the only day of the week when the weather is almost right. With a 101 coefficient, it didn't go down far enough. With the wind at 30/40 km/h from the west, it blocked the descent. Fortunately, my perfect knowledge of the spots enabled me to have a good tide.
It all starts with a search for bass on the edge of the plateau. They're there, in 5/6 meters of water, and respond on a light-colored 3DB Jerkbait with a white belly. I pick up a 50 cm one and head for my squid spot.
I did a Tataki setup, this time in blue, with a Magnet SS on the bottom and a calmero ultra mini on top. A winning setup. I start off with a nice squadron of cuttlefish, which go straight back into the water - I don't keep them. Then the squid finally arrive, and for an hour it's one thing after another, with a few nice tubes, and even some doubles. Then it suddenly stops.
The foreshore isn't yet uncovered enough to land, so I take the opportunity to comb the area with a surface lure, without success. Then just below the surface, also without success. I've swum a good dozen lures but I don't have a customer. It's the 3DB Jerkbait on single hooks that catches me a very pretty old lady who takes advantage of my poor placement, due to the wind blowing the kayak sideways, to hide in some kelp. Fortunately, she's well hooked and I manage to swim up to her, pull her out of the kelp and hoist her into the kayak. Just enough time for a seelfish, she's back in her element.
A bit like mushrooms
There's not enough water left to fish properly so I take the opportunity to try and spot a few crabs in the sand, the wind has picked up and the surface of the water is wrinkled. There's still 50 cm of water on my special spots. I put the kayak down on a piece of pebble and start searching. It's a bit like mushrooms: once you've got the image of the crab and, above all, the shape in the sand, you can spot them pretty well. I find about twenty of them, half of which are females and go straight back into the water. The others are large males with big claws. I keep the 3 largest for a good meal and the others go back to hiding in the sand.
My fishing's done, but I've still got half an hour before the snack break. I take the opportunity to harvest around twenty large prairies, which will be eaten raw this evening, with butter bread and shallot vinegar, a real treat. The wind isn't letting up and will be even stronger tomorrow and the day after, making it unsafe for me to go out. I'll be staying in the warmth, and what's more, thunderstorms are possible and I don't go out on the water in stormy weather...
I take advantage of the snack break to clean the preserved fish and squid, and the gulls are happy... The weather at the end of the summer is really strange, slots are few and far between and the forecasts are not very pleasing. I'm glad I didn't miss this day, but without a good knowledge of the spot, it would have been very complicated.
At the end of the article, I've posted the video of this beautiful morning of squid and shellfish. Of Saturday's emissile challenge, only 6 were caught by boat. In kayak, we came out on top thanks to a large dogfish hooked on sardines. A rather rare fish in the Brest bay.
