Features of fishing in Crimea

Fishing from the coastline is great, but fishing from a boat is even more fun. On the territory of Crimea, there are both fresh and salt water bodies, which are distinguished by a wide variety of fish, but in order not to run into a fine, you need to know when fishing is prohibited.

When you can take a boat, you can go to the lake or go out to sea and get to the larger fish. The sea breeze makes you feel special, and evening fishing is a time to not only relax, but also to see a beautiful sunset on the peninsula. November-December is the best time to go fishing in the Crimean waters. But this does not mean that there is nothing to do here during the rest of the year. There are paid lakes and endless seas where you can fish.

On the territory of Yalta, right at the pier or on the coast, you can very often meet fishermen who fish with an empty hook. But in order to get a quality catch, you need to wait for a flock of dolphins to bring the fry of horse mackerel or mackerel.

This tactic is completely unsuitable for catching more serious prey, for example, gobies, flounder or mullet. For them, you need to prepare tackle, choose the right time. The best places on the seashore can be called the Kerch Peninsula, namely the territory of the Crimean Bridge.

It is worth remembering that different fish give the maximum catch at different times of the year. Mullet lovers should go out to sea at the end of July, because during this period the water temperature becomes ideal for this type of fish.If we take into account the type of food that the mullet eats, then catching it is worth near rocks, concrete breakwaters, where mussels and rapana live in large quantities. Fishing depth - 10 meters. Gobies live in shallow waters, at the same depth as mullet. You can catch it on the rocks at any time of the year, but to get a big catch, it is best to go fishing in the Crimea in autumn.
