It crams the fishermen pros with his trawl line

D ominic Michon, ex-fisherman professional of Croisic, proposes its patented trawl line and its formations. Like alternative to intensive fishings.


Dominique Michon - in front of the case and the transfer-trawl line -
have a workshop in Saint-Nazaire to manufacture
and another in Croisic, to store.
I believe well to be the only one in France to offer this service! The 58 years Croisicais sells a formation with its material: a system of fishing to the trawl line developped at the point when it pricked the bar, conger and whiting, of its own boat.

The trawl line, it is a long line sometimes of 3 km, thrown in the content of the water, on which are attached pile up provided with hooks every approximately 10 m.

The brain of this artisanal fishing phosphorus unceasingly. There is a dozen years, Croisicais sells its boat to teach mechanics in the maritime colleges in Nantes, La Rochelle, Sands, Midsummer's Day de Luz.
At that time, Brussels prohibits the gill nets. Dominique Michon proposes a innovating project of trawl line in 2002 at Anvar to obtain a purse. Accepted.

Whitebait became formative in 2008

The small firm Able (Automatic Booster rocket Line Engine) was born.
The fisherman deposits in fact of the patents since a score of years as of others the racks go up The last relate to the case with trawl line, this kind of basin on which are rolled up hundreds of meters of wire roughcast of hooks, that one esche (crams) while one unrolls the line with the broad one. Very technical.
Very dangerous also, if one is caught a hook in the finger. There already were deaths.
Dominique Michon improved safety while allowing to place the soft food on the hooks before the line is not thrown to water.
In addition, it designed a transfer-trawl line, a machine which unrolls the line in the water, which makes it possible to limit the twist of the trawl line, patented in 2002. Since, its small firm with two people thrives: 200.000 € of turnovers in 2007.
It or not sells its system, complete, adaptable on any type of boat, pelagic or fileyor, ideal for the reconversion.
The first customers amount in Croisic: the half-dozen of palangriers of the port has Able systems.
Dominique Michon essaimé since in Handle and along the Atlantic facade: 50% of the tuna boats germoniers of the Island of Yeu, Quiberon, La Rochelle, fishing Whitebait and even Galicia, in Spain.
This year, Able hopes to see its turnover increasing by 40%.

The fishermen need reconversion.

In the maritime colleges, one learns how to repair a trawl, a net, but never fishing with the trawl line. We, one makes formation. Whitebait gives the formation to its customer who buys the system and, for a few months, the company has been recorded like trainer with the title of the armament. The ex-fisherman sees in the trawl line fishing with high added value which misses in France: the bar of line, the noble fish damaged step, selected, the preserved resource, respected funds: It is that, durable fishing.

This artisanal fishing is the future. He always thought it.
