BFM French TV boarded with Guillaume FOURRIER to highlight the fishing guide profession on the television news. The trip headed offshore between France and England to target sea bass and pollack with two loyal clients, Emmanuel and Michaël.
Fishing guide in the English Channel: a mastered territory
The English Channel is a familiar territory for Guillaume FOURRIER, a fishing guide based in the port of Dieppe. Born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Guillaume spent several years navigating the Strait of Pas-de-Calais, the busiest shipping lane in the world with 25% of global maritime traffic. He has targeted many species and knows every detail of this area’s unique characteristics.
Heading offshore at daybreak
The sea is calm, offering ideal conditions to head offshore aboard his new boat Dromeas 28 SUV. The journalist interviews Guillaume as soon as they leave the harbour, discussing the day’s programme and the organisation of a typical outing in the fishing guide profession.
The boat cruises at 32 knots on autopilot, heading towards the bass and pollack spots that Guillaume spent three years scouting before dedicating himself fully to this passion-driven career.
Sea bass fishing to warm up
Arrival on the spot, Guillaume stops the boat to start a drift over the precise area. For this trip, Guillaume exceptionally fishes alongside his clients, at the request of the TV channel for the report. All three anglers quickly connect with several seabass.
The journalist then asks the two clients about their experience with the sea fishing guide.
Emmanuel explains that with Guillaume Fourrier, he has “never blanked,” that they “always catch fish,” almost “on demand.” He says that all he has to do is mention the species he wants to cook, and Guillaume finds it. He describes “memorable” days, firmly etched in his mind, thanks to both the quality of the fishing and the atmosphere on board.
Michaël shares the same enthusiasm. He recounts standout trips, some of which have become strong memories he still keeps “in mind.” His progress has been swift, driven by practical advice and constant support. These testimonials highlight the trust, the friendly atmosphere and the technical expertise that define offshore trips guided by fishing guide Guillaume Fourrier. As the conversation continues, Guillaume hooks a sea bass right in the middle of the interview.
A report rich in sea bass, with bonus pollack catches
As the journalist had gathered enough footage, the day ended with some fine pollock. These fish do not appear in the report, which already featured plenty of catches. Here is one of the specimens.
