Hello everyone,

My name is Sébastien, and I live in the center of France. Since the age of 15, I have been passionate about fishing for predators with lures in rivers, a passion that has accompanied me throughout my life. At 21, I became a mathematics teacher, but as soon as I have free time, I am at the water's edge looking for new challenges. For 7 years now, I have been sharing my fishing adventures on YouTube, where I try to pass on this passion to other fishermen.

My favourite fish is without a doubt the pike. There is something special about luring this predator on the surface, especially in summer, when the attacks are explosive. I particularly like using lures like the frog or the whopper plopper to attract these majestic fish. But my interest is not limited to pike; I also love tracking catfish, whether using the fireball technique or by ledgering, and I also take great pleasure in fishing for asp in the Loire.

Among my most memorable memories in France is the capture of a 1.05 metre pike, a real trophy, which I was lucky enough to lure on the surface in the Cher River. This river holds a special place in my heart; I fish it regularly and I have come to know a length of almost 100 km almost like the back of my hand!

One of my favorite techniques is to go down several kilometers of river in a float tube. Carried by the current, this discreet approach allows me to access places often inaccessible from the shore. For this, my Rockstar 135 float tube from Seven Bass is the ideal tool. Solid, handy and compact, it accompanies me on all my descents, allowing me to fish in the best conditions.

I am convinced that to succeed in fishing, you must be regularly present at the water's edge. Knowing your spots, lures, and fish behavior throughout the seasons is often the key to success. Good equipment also plays an essential role in a fisherman's progress, without forgetting the importance of discretion so as not to alert the fish.
