Catfish fishing at Cassant on the Doubs

Catfish break fishing is one of the techniques that allows you to catch the most fish throughout the year. This wait-and-see style of fishing allows you to lay down rigs at long or medium distances, optimising stealth. Catfish feed mainly at night, which is why morning and evening shots give the best results. Depending on the mood of the fish, we will adapt the fishing (worms, live fish or dead fish).
