These summer visitors arrive
in big numbers.
Those anglers who
come across these shoals are
handsomely rewarded |

During the summer and early autumn,
Brittany receives many visiting species. Among these are the tasty
and beautiful red sea bream (Dorade rose in
French). More time than not, these fish are located by anglers
targeting pollack and other fish hanging around the marks. Red sea
bream haunt the same rocks and can be caught by switching to natural
baits. Razor clams, cockles,
and mackerel chunks are really good baits which can be rigged
on a double hook-link paternoster rig for simplicity. Don't be
surprised if you also catch pollack and other larger species too.

Hooks should be forged from sturdy material
as these fish, like the wrasse, sport a very good set of dentures.
Many red sea bream are caught on the bottom when drifting over local
Breton marks, but a number of good fish within a shoal will hover a
few metres above. Use your depth sounder to locate these 'hovering'
fish. Sam and friends have caught huge pouting (by pouting standards)
during these bream fishing sessions. Also, be ready to catch more
than your fair share of those juicy-lipped clowns, the cuckoo wrasse too.

Red sea bream, a
wonderful species for the table!
