These Amazing Spots Near Marseille, France Are Perfect To Go Fishing
Few things in the world are more relaxing – or more exciting, depending on the day – than fishing. With so many freshwater lakes and rivers, fishing in Marseille, France is top-rated. From fly fishing to shore casting, here are some of the best spots to try your luck. Please note, that these aren’t ranked in any particular order, but we have mentioned some of the fish you’re most likely to catch.
“Va Te Jeter Aux Goudes” (Get Lost To Goudes)
Just 40 minutes along the coast road from Marseille’s Old Port (“le vieux port“) you’ll come to the fishing village of Les Goudes. There’s an expression in French that the locals say, “va te jeter aux Goudes” (literally, throw yourself to Goudes, i.e. go away and far from here) because Les Goudes feels like it’s at the end of the world. This small fishing village is at the furthest point that you can get to by road along the coast road before you hit the Calanques, France’s natural wonder of seaside inlets.The Baie des Singes © Hervé/Flickr
The Baie Des Singes (Monkey Bay)
On an ideal day exploring, you should pass Les Goudes and park up at the furthest point that the road will take you (there is only cliff and water beyond). This area is a nightmare for parking as there isn’t much room, so try to get there early. You’ll find a small path heading east towards the sea over the rocks. Follow it to the Baie des Singes (Monkey Bay). It’s a dreamy little cove with very deep water on one side heading out into the sea and a small, gentle, shingly beach on the other. It’s not the easiest beach to get to, but it’s worth the effort. Kids can go but make sure everyone has good footwear for walking over rocks.The beginning of the walk to the hidden Baie des Singes © So Soo/Shutterstock
The Private Restaurant At Baie Des Singes
After 20 minutes of watching your step, you’ll have two choices. One, take the steps down into the Restaurant Baie des Singes. If your budget stretches to it, you can hire a sun lounger for €15 euros for the day. There are only 20 or so, so pre-book. Then you don’t need to move anywhere else. You can eat the fresh fish for lunch and feast like kings on the salads, local wine and great desserts. (If you’re watching your money, don’t buy the fish by the pound as it can work out to be very expensive. The salads off the menu are relatively reasonable – €20 or so – considering you’re at the edge of the earth and in paradise). From your loungers it’s possible to swim over to the small beach (with kids, buckets and spades in tow) to paddle and build sandcastles.The approach to the Baie des Singes © So Soo/Shutterstock
The Public Beach At Baie Des Singes
If you don’t want to pay the price of the meal or loungers, don’t take the steps down to the restaurant but continue upwards and over the top of the restaurant on the rocks. You can then descend into the totally public beach on the other side of the cove. Then you can enjoy your picnic and the fantastic views and swimming – having paid out nothing more than the energy it took to get there. Take everything you need as it’s far away from everything (except the restaurant). People do swim out into the main sea channel beyond the cove, but it isn’t advisable; the current is fierce here and it’s a major boating channel for the many tourists going to and from Marseille to see the Calanques.The village of Les Goudes, Marseille dubassy/Shutterstock
Les Goudes For An Apéritif And The Sunset
By late afternoon you might want to head back to Les Goudes. You’ll still find traditional fishermen here and families that go back generations. The landscape behind the village is dotted with small wartime bunkers (rumoured to have been built by the Nazis rather than the French), some of which are accessible. The village has a small beach on one side. If you’re lucky you’ll find the odd event on the other side to watch (like people riding their BMX bikes into the sea off huge ramps).Swim in the little beach at Les Goudes
Head to the bar 20,000 Lieues (after the Jules Verne book, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea) that overlooks the beach. It has outside tables to watch the sunset and pick up something like a pizza or a salad before you head back into the wonder of Marseille proper. An absolute delight.

I went shopping online at 4 different online stores to find the right paddle for my kayak.
The first store I went to was REI to get more infomation about buying the right paddle for my new kayak. There are a few thing to think about shift, blade, material and price, and last length. By choosing the right paddle you can save yourself a lot energy. Here is some information from REI:
Figuring out the right size (length) of paddle is surprisingly straightforward. The wider your boat is, the longer your paddle needs to be. Your height is also a factor, especially for a narrower boat: Taller paddlers need longer paddles.

I like traveling and trying new things. I have been to 20 different city this past month. I have enjoy good food, good weather, roof top bars, and the beach.

Best Fishing Practices
Many anglers plan ahead and incorporate best fishing practices using tips to ensure safe and responsible angling. Thank you to www.fishsmart.org or providing the following tips:.
Plan Ahead
Know your fishing regulations and have the necessary equipment ready to release fish that you do not plan to keep.
Avoidance
Develop fishing skills to target the size and species you desire. Change location, depth, or bait to avoid catching fish you do not intend to keep.
Appropriate Gear
Use appropriately sized gear that is targeted to the species you desire to catch. Use circle hooks when planning to release fish and where they are required.
Landing Fish
Do not play the fish to exhaustion. Use line strong enough to minimize playing time. Land the fish quickly and if possible, release them while still in the water.
Handling Fish
Use knotless, rubberized landing nets and rubberized gloves to avoid removing the slime layer from the fish’s body. Keep the fish horizontal and support the body. Avoid dropping the fish, especially onto hard surfaces. Use release tools, such as dehookers and recompression tools, to minimize handling. Release fish as soon as practical and do not keep them out of the water longer than necessary.
