This technique, whether practiced by boat or kayak, consists in letting yourself drift with a fairly simple setting consisting of a plug, a leaded wire with one or more hooks.
Description
This technique requires a little practice since it is a question of knowing the right places (a high ground, a drop-off, a large sandbank where food is particularly abundant...). In order to probe the spots, a sonar is almost essential, at least a precise study of the seabed maps.
Once the spot is found, it is necessary to go upstream of the direction of the drift by going around it (so as not to frighten the fish) in such a way that the drift makes the boat, and therefore the hook, pass through the spot.
In order for the bait to pass as close as possible to the structures, the mounting allows to adjust the distance between the hook and the plug. If after two or three drifts, no fish bites, you should consider changing the depth. If despite these variations you are empty, either the spot is empty or the spot is not good... you will see this by returning regularly.
The most effective bait is grey shrimp or live sand shrimp. Its whiteness allows it to be clearly visible in the water and its movements will only attract fish. However, it is difficult to find bait because it is a matter of fishing them and keeping them alive until the time of fishing. The squid is still very effective and the raw or bleached shell holds well on the hook.
Once the plug is inserted into the water with a sharp blow, the fisherman must tighten the sea bream by pulling a small sharp blow on the rod. However, for this type of fishing, the fish usually fishes on their own.
Material
Rod
The type of rod does not drastically influence fishing since there is no animation to be done. However, the thinner the rod, the more you will have a good feeling when going up the fish. A 10-30g cane is sufficient.
Reel
A sea reel between 2000 and 4000 is suitable for this type of fishing.
Line
Line body: Braid in 13 hundredths
Leading edge: Fluorocarbon in 13 hundredths
Plug
The plug should have a flotation of about 25-30 grams depending on the current.
Lead
Olive Lead corresponding to about 1/3 of the flotation of the cap.
Hook
Hooks N°1 or 2 can be used. Good quality hooks are required. In other words, they are very spicy, strong and as light as possible in order to maximize their chances on a fish whose distrust cannot be overstated.
