Fishing on foot on the coast, from Grandcamp to Vierville

The report was walking through the fishing spots of the coast. In Grandcamp-Maisy, rocks and algae attracted lovers of bouquets, fished with a landing net near the bottom and rocks. Asked on Friday, September 10, a resident explained that he had not missed any tides since August 1, the opening date he indicated in the article; some vacationers came especially for this fishing.

In Cricqueville-en-Bessin, near the Pointe du Hoc, fishermen were looking for the etrilles under the rocks. The most experienced also watched the cakes, called sleepers, or hoped to discover a lobster in its hole. The periwines were also among the catches mentioned.

In Vierville-sur-Mer, the newspaper lingered on mussels. A fisherman named Henry described them as small, very white and particularly tasty, comparable in his eyes to those of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes. However, he regretted that they were rarer that year.
