Why Go Shore Fishing?<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Shore fishing<\/a> is a typical activity on the beaches of Normandy<\/strong>. It requires neither special skills nor expensive equipment. You can practice it on many beaches, knowing that shore fishers’ favorites are the beaches of Agon-Coutainville, Chausey, and Mont Saint-Michel Bay.
\nShore fishing is a pleasant activity to do with children<\/strong>: it’s safe if you respect fishing hours (2 hours before low tide) and monitor the rising waters. It also represents an economic benefit: you can catch the seafood for your next meal for free! <\/p>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n

Good Preparation for Good Fishing<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"shore<\/p>\n

First, bring the right equipment<\/strong>. A pair of rubber boots<\/strong> will allow you to move around in wet sand or on rocks without getting wet or scraping your feet. Of course, it’s essential to bring a bucket or basket with handles<\/strong> to carry your catch. A waterproof watch will help you monitor the authorized fishing time before the waters rise. <\/p>\n

Finally, remember to bring a ruler or tape measure<\/strong>: fishing is regulated and certain seafood may not be caught below a certain size.<\/p>\n

Best Practices for Responsible Fishing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shore fishing is permitted, but under certain conditions. It’s important to respect the biodiversity<\/strong> that is abundant but fragile on beaches at low tide by adopting the right practices and targeting your fishing carefully. <\/p>\n

First, if you’re catching seafood attached to rocks, take the time to carefully choose the ones you want to take<\/strong> and detach them while avoiding damaging other neighboring varieties. Use gloves or a fishing knife for this.
\nIf you want to catch buried varieties<\/strong>, such as razor clams or burrowing shellfish, look for the small holes<\/strong> that indicate their presence and use the tip of a knife and salt to bring them up. It is strongly discouraged to use rakes or shovels, which are harmful to many juvenile burrowers and therefore very fragile. <\/p>\n

Respect a minimum size for certain varieties<\/strong>: 4 cm for mussels and clams, 4.5 cm for whelks, 6.5 cm for velvet crabs, 8.7 cm for lobsters.<\/p>\n

Finally, fish, but reasonably<\/strong>: don’t exceed the quantity you can eat the same day. It’s not recommended to consume seafood that isn’t fresh. Also remember to sort your catch<\/strong> during your fishing window and return the seafood to their natural element. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
