Mules
Visit mullets are most often found between the surface and mid-water, in hull eddies or in dock piles.âeurosâeuros
Optimum priming
The basic starter is bread (baguette or dense loaf), crumbled and slightly moistened, formed into balls that disintegrate as they drift.
When running hard, pack the balls a little more tightly, adding a little breadcrumbs or sand if necessary, so that they flow slowly instead of smearing.
Remember not to saturate a microâeuroszone: a few balls/slices are enough, as mullets move quickly and may flee a too-frequent and noisy recall.
Bait
Chaillou bread, or dense bread on a small hameçon, is very popular and holds well on the hameçon.âeurosâeuros
You can also use variations such as: flour-based dough + egg yolk + cheese (parmesan, laughing cow, mixed gruyère) + sardine oil/thon.âeuros
In Mediterranean ports, crusty bread for the surface and breadcrumbs for a little fishing under the layer of water are very effective.âeurosâeuros
Dorados, sars, bogues, oblades
Bottom-dwelling or near-bottom fish, such as the various sparids, generally forage on pebbles and are found in the vicinity of port structures.âeurosâeuros
For optimum baiting, it's best to bait the bottom quickly. Heavy, fast-sinking balls are used to hold a small area in spite of the current. This baiting technique is particularly suitable for sparids.
Optimum priming
The groundbait used consists mainly of breadcrumbs, fish meal, pieces of mussel or other shellfish from the fishing ground. Crushed sardines mixed with flour can also be used.
It's important to pack the groundbait balls tightly so that they don't break up before they reach the bottom, especially when stirring.
Bait
Live crab for sea bream and sea bass is a very popular bait in harbours "between two boats" or along dykes.âeuros
Cracked whole mussels, pieces of shellfish or shrimp can also be good bait when already present on the harbour floor.
Sars, in particular, also respond very well to baits based on sardines or "strouille", which give off a strong odour in the current.âeuros
Sea bass in port
The bass or wolf is a predator that often turns around schools of small fish and bait zones (mullets, sparidae) in passes and corners with current.âeurosâeuros
Optimum priming
The use of sardine stew is an effective way of attracting this predator. The sardines are crushed in a sack or burlap, left in the current to create a "thread" of scent.âeuros
It attracts sea bass, but also mullet and bream, and probably other fish that swim up the scented stream.âeuros
You can also add sardine + flour bait balls thrown by hand from the dyke or quay.âeuros
Bait
The crab, which lives in a dead line, is very useful for sea bream and sea bass in port (between boats, along the scumming dykes).âeuros
Pieces of sardine, mackerel or small fish can be placed in the current vein coming from the strouille.âeurosâeuros
Saupes, bogues, oblades
These are often schooling fish, usually between two waters or close to the surface, which follow the drifting particles of bread and groundbait.
Optimum priming
Surface baiting or baiting halfway up the water with bread gives good results. You should try to regularly throw pieces of bread or small, loosely-packed balls into the current.
In strong currents, aim for the current vein that runs alongside hulls and docks, so that the particles pass where you present your float or bait.âeurosâeuros
Bait
Bread (crust for the surface, crumb for in-between waters) remains the preferred bait. Small pieces of shrimp or mussel can also be used.
