More about it
There are two big advantages to this type of fishing: first of all, a lot of shellfish can be gathered without the need for special equipment, and if you do need some equipment, a morning spent at the beach gathering seafood will definitely make the investment worth it. No need to be an expert to bring home a bucket full of seafood !
Gathering seafood by hand is very simple: as the tide goes out, an incredible amount of seafood is left behind buried in the sand, hidden under rocks or crawling under algae while it waits for the tide to come back in.
It is important that the tide is out when you are gathering seafood. The higher the tidal coefficient, the further the tide goes out and the more success you will have !
