Fishing with natural bait
Sars can be fished with a variety of natural baits. You can use a live grey shrimp, a mussel, raw prawns, worms (bibi, arenicola) or even pieces of sardine to attract sars in the foam or on rocky plateaus.âeuros
Sar fishing with natural baits can be done in different ways:
Float fishing : Using a 4 to 7-metre rod, an 8 to 25-gram float depending on conditions, and a fine leader (18-26/100). The principle is to make the bait drift naturally over the rocks in the surf, while remaining discreet.âeuros
Fishing with lead sinkers or surfcasting : a 4 to 5-metre surfcasting rod fitted with a reel and a line body between 26 and 35/100. The weight and shape of the sinker will depend on the conditions encountered and the different fishing spots. A hexagonal sinker weighing between 30 and 50 grams is a good reference. The leader should be long enough (minimum 1 metre). This type of fishing is ideally done at depth or in rough seas, and the hooking should be fast.
Lure fishing
Lure fishing is most productive in heavy seas over shallow rocky bottoms. Choose hard lures (such as jerkbait minnow 9 cm sinking) or soft lures (such as shad < 8 cm) imitating possible prey on the run.âeuros
As far as animation is concerned, cast and drag with pauses for sinking lures. Shads in foam provide a high hit rate, despite the risk of snagging.âeuros
Fishing with lures is effective for large fish, but less selective than with baits
Tackle fishing
Fishing with a toc/pelote consists in searching for sars, usually in the foam, with a more or less specific paste. This paste can be made of sardines, bread and cheese or shellfish. Pelota or toc fishing is an itinerant sport practised in rocky areas. A long, light and easy-to-handle rod is used to delicately deposit the paste in the foam. Pulls are often fast, and you'll need to strike hard as the sar quickly strips the hook.
