Sports to do in a speedo

[Torchwatch]

You have seen this picture in uncropped form? How? I took it while on a trip to the Gironde, I had been hike camping from Cap Feret to point du Grave. I haven't published any part of this picture before.

Along the North coast of Brittany and the Atlantic coast of France mackerel come in along the beaches especially as the sun goes down. As the evening draws in the sunbathers and swimmers leave the beach and the fishermen line up along the shore for rod fishing. They are fishing for their breakfast, not attempting to catch giant record breaking fish. Since they are regulars what they are doing is normal, it is normal for some of them to fish wearing speedos while they step into the water. So no photographic record is made, so it is not surprising that few photos of guys fishing while wearing speedos exist.

LOL - my apologies if my memory is playing tricks - I must retrace through many pics. to find again what I thought I saw.
If/when I do I must PM the link as you thought it not appropriate for publication (but if it is on Google Images it is there for all the world to see anyway).
In the meantime here is another Seine, which is Paris. No, it is not a further crazy French
method with blue steel fishing rods staked out along the promenade but the so-called beach (ugh!) and a Bateau Mouche :
