During the summer, 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 and cockles 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 species too.

Hooks should be forged from strong 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 your mark, 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 (see pic below). Good fishing!


Red sea bream, a wonderful species for the table!
