Shore Fishing (Gathering at Low Tide)

Attracted by the unique atmosphere shaped by the tides, the shore angler practices a form of gathering fishing — refreshing, sensible, and, let’s say, eco-responsible.

Moreover, the coastline offers a true moment of escape and an invigorating breath of fresh air. Fishing itself is carried out using tools adapted to each species. Shellfish bring joy to children and are closely linked to the pleasures of food. What a delight it is to enjoy a handful of fresh shrimp or mussels harvested the same day. But shore fishing is just as much about enjoying seafood as it is about collecting bait for a future rod-and-line fishing session.

This book covers all types of shore fishing, presented in the form of clear, concise, and detailed fact sheets.
