Fishing in Brittany

Sea bass off Dinard, Saint Malo...

A days sea bass fishing in Brittany...

One of our Breton friends is an excellent salt water fishing guide working mainly from his boat in front of Dinard and Saint Malo. The landscapes of the so called "esmerald coast" are often breathtaking and heart-touching. This is a very lively sea with lots of islands, reefs. And of course a lot of fish. The beauty of this, is that you're taken on a small insubmersible like if it was yours, there is only you and a friend or your son, and your guide. No crowd of other anglers like on most charters, no sunbathing or anything like this, just pure fishing.  Fish species !, The king fish over here is the sea bass, but large pollack may be caught as well as several other carnivorous like, sea bream, mackerel, etc... Techniques: If fly rods are sometimes used on shallow spots, most of the fishing will be with lures on light tackle (no bait fishing either). Please contact us by email to put a price on your project. And in the meantime, see below the atmosphere of a nice days fishing, off Saint-Malo.

Long before, the boots and coats have been gathered

and that morning everything is ready to take the sea



We walk down to the port

And wait for our guide...



We're in Dinard, he will be arriving from Saint Malo, just in front


And wer're off to the sea

The guide shows our route with the GPS

and the presence of fish with the sonar,

Nice landscapes in this sea, there are many interesting  islands, like this fort



We're meeting professional fishermen near an island, the place must be good !

The lures are examined

and carefully chosen

and even perfumed !

With sardine flavor in tube !!!!

It doesn't take long to get into action

.

Un tacaud ! (Un beau !)

Some larger fish must have left with the flavored part of the lures...

We're fishing on fairly light tackle.

The equipment is modern and well chosen like only this clever device



A sea bream

and we're off to a new reef...

Our guide seems happy of his day ! And so we are...

The day has produced no monster but lots of good tasting fish for the dinner

If you judge by the seagulls feasting on the entrails...

Back home, it is time for a well deserved apéritif...
