Lac des Trois Cantons

Lac des Trois Cantons is a saltwater spot in Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, and the kind of place where tide does most of the work. The hours either side of high water tend to be the most productive on the coast here. At Lac des Trois Cantons, structure — reefs, drop-offs, headlands, harbour walls — concentrates baitfish, and predators follow. A good local rule: if the bait isn't where you expect it to be, the fish won't be either.
