-Alban... -Yes?
-We go for bleaks? -Kinda, yes... But big ones.
With teeths.
Hi everyone!
Canito and Tosh speaking, by the ocean.
-Nice, isn't it? -Very nice.
Today, we'll continue our journey on the west coast, in the Atlantic ocean.
As you noticed, the 2 first episodes in the lakes were crazy,
today we are in Port Bourgenay, in the Vendée region.
We'll fish with a guide named David Dousseau,
Alban will be with us on the boat,
and I think we'll have loads of fun. -I hope so!
We don't know much about saltwater fishing,
but I think we'll target some big seabass, meagre...
-We'll dust some wraps off today, Canito. -Would be nice...
-Ready? -I'm on fire.
We are smoking hot, let's go, come along with us,
for some sea fishing, and maybe blue-water fishing, if the conditions are good.
I think it's okay. Let's go, with Alban and David.
Fingers crossed, let's hope for some action today!
How are we going to fish David? Light, heavy....
We'll switch, depending the depths and currents.
The tidal coefficients are large, over 100 so the currents will be strong.
The fisherman must adapt.
That's why it's important to have differents weights and sizes.
And a good guide, also.
We will see.
David loves the risk, do you know why?
His website is called "jamaisbredouille.com" (neverblanked.com)
What a pressure!
-Did you see something? -No, it's a spot that I know.
With the tidal coefficients, we can find some meagres here.
They come into the rocks to hunt for mackerels, pouts...
-Do big meagres exists? (joking) -Indeed, the so called big meager exists.
On this place, we can find smallies around 2-5 kilos, and up to 15 kilos.
Further out, there is some bigger ones, around 50-60 kilos.
-Ok... Let's fish. -Yes, yes yes!
Here we are.
A 18 km ride is not that commun for us!
-How deep is it, 30 m? -Yes, 30 m.
-The fish should stand at 25 m. -Above the bottom.
Now, we touch the bottom...
I'm going to reel up 5 m, like this...
The aim is to tease the fish, so they take the bait.
Yes, when when the bait goes up...
-They have a decompression stage? -Yes.
When you reel up 10 m and continue straight away, they can't decompress.
They have to attack, or they miss the bait.
Oh! I think...Yes!
-Lost? -No, it's small.
I don't even feel it.
This is a fish. But he doesn't fight.
-Pout on the teaser! -A pout?
It's what the big ones eat.
At least it's a fish.
Like a small perch.
No blank out, thanks to the pout!
Not empty-handed!
The technique works!
Sometime they take in mid-water.
In 25 m of depth, the fish can rise up to 10 meters.
Fish! -Well done!
In 10 meters, while reeling up.
The elevator trick! Good!
-Luckily, we have a multicolored braid. -It helps...
Oh, he broke me off!
-No!? -For real?
He raped you.
Yes, he broke me off. I felt it.
-It was a nice fish. -Yes.
-A seabass, probably. -Yes, for sure.
He took the teaser.
I don't have anything left.
Come on! At least, there is some action.
Let's do it step by step, the biggies are coming.
Fish on!
-Nooo! -Noway.
I was just starting to lift my bait, 2 m from the bottom.
-Noway... -We are so unlucky.
Fish on!
-Nice! -I don't think it's big.
-I have one too! -Do you?
Yep!
It's a small pollock.
A small pollock here, and on the other side...
A small seabass.
As the fishing was slow, I use a Raglou as a dropper.
-When the fish are picky, sometimes... -Yeah, it triggers some bites.
Big caliber or small caliber, make your choice.
So, that's a good start...
Two species, a pollock and a seabass.
-And we missed 2 nice fish. -Yeah, that was bad.
Let's release them.
He's gone.
Fish on.
The rod is nice!
Fish for Canito.
On the big one!
-This one was hungy! -A pout for Canito!
-As big as the lure. -That's crazy.
Small pout.
Oh, fish!
-Nice? -Better.
I was reeling like crazy.
Sometimes, you shouldn't be afraid of reeling fast.
A small pollock.
-Pollock again. -Nice one.
Time for lunch.
Wat's next?
We'll go further out, look for a bigger shipwreck...
With more depth, 40-45 m, and look for big pollocks, and big seabass, eventually.
We'll be 40 km off shore.
-Not bad. -Not bad at all.
It's a record for us.
35 m of depth... The fish are in the last 5 m.
New strategy...
The sky is more cloudy, the sea is quite rough...
-We are on the open ocean. -Open ocean means bigger fish.
Hopefully we won't break or miss... No joking anymore.
Let's put the "serious" mode, and try to catch a big fish.
Fish on!
-Big one? -Better!
Yes, better.
That's a real fish. On the drop, didn't touched the bottom.
Finally, a big one!
When he takes the net, it's a good sign!
The open ocean seems a lot more nice, suddenly. I understand the 40 km ride.
I must be carefull, not going in the engine...
Pass behind.
Shit! My line is stucked!
Small technical problem.
Wait, keep calm, and reel it in...
Come here.
Watch out for your line, it can pull.
-One on the teaser, and one on the big. -It's okay.
There is 2 fish.
You have a nice one. It's a serious fish, behind.
-I have 2... -Told you! You can double up!
-Big seabass! -Nice!
-He's running away, I don't know where. -Come to this side.
Such a great feeling!
It's BIG!
It's really big! Stocky fish.
Open ocean!
-Is it worth it or not!? -Definitely, yes.
It's chaos guys, we crossed the lines. We fix that first.
What a beast.
Big lunker!
-And you Alban? -I have a fish too.
That's what can happen wile fishing in the open ocean.
Alban has a fish also, a pollock.
Mega fish.
-You're not a seabass fisherman... -Not at all.
But this 84 cm fish you caught is like a 120 cm pike.
-This is a really, really big fish. -David has announced it.
Thanks David...
We don't know if he attacked first or if it was the pollock.
Look at this head, wonderful.
A pollock.
He took the Raglou...
Nice colors! That's a beautiful fish.
It's always me! Pout again, second time. -Canito, stop with the Pouts!
Here we go! Here comes the pollock!
I caught a pollock!
He's nice!
Small pout!
-Oh, lt looks bigger! -Yes, it's big.
-My pout is nice too! -You're the pout pro!
It's better.
How cool is that Alban, with a casting reel!
I don't know what it is, but it's pulling. Nice.
-Heavy? -Yes, look.
He doesn't like the light. He's coming.
A pollock? -Maybe two.
Well... I thaught it was way bigger. Good fight.
Look, I had 2, that's why it was so heavy.
The second bait is stucked.
Another fish had it in his mouth, this doesn't happens like that.
I think he came off, and I caught this one.
That's why it was so heavy.
He's nice, biggest of the day.
A little better fish.
Small pollock.
Fish on!
That's great!
Now guys, that's a spot to keep and highlight.
Crazy!
It's small.
You too?
Double!
It's a pollock. -Nice one.
On the teaser. -Wait, don't move
I lost mine.
No big deal, it was small.
Let's release it.
He's okay.
David...
Jeremy feels sick, he's gonna go behind, for a while.
Don't worry, I'm used to it.
I feel a small fish on the teaser. -Really?
It's really, really small. -A weever!?
We can see the spines here, they are poisoned.
-Touch it? -Do you want it in the neck?
-In the hoodie! -No, let her go.
She will annoy some tourists, next summer.
Thank you!
Come on, mackerel!
David is not hooked into a mackerel.
It's better.
Yes! Nice.
The bigger size.
-See?
A better pollock. He's really dark.
It means they are in the shipwreck.
We get them out, with the "elevator" technique.
Let's release him.
Maybe a seabass? -Pollock.
A pollock and a pout.
Crazy day, you feel like you're in another country.
Yes, totally.
We had a great day, really.
You caught a really great fish.
Outstanding fish.
I'm not a seabass fisherman, so it's probably beginner's luck.
That's a big PB, I won't beat it before a few years.
That's possible!
-We caught a lot of fish. -Yes.
It was diverse...
We will have a good night of sleep. -Yes, no doubt!
So, it's done! First time in the open ocean.
Yep!
The weather was a little heavier than expected,
so the run back was a little chaotic. -That's true.
-But we had loads of fun! -See you tomorrow?
Tomorrow, new place, we will fish on the coast, due to the wind.
We will fish two spots, one for meager,
and in the afternoon some rocks and clear water,
to target different species like mackerels, sea bass, spotted bass...
Some ballan wrasse, too. -Ok.
We will have some fun!
We will have some rest, have some food, and a good shower.
Thank you David, see you tomorrow! -Ciao!
