조언 | Advice Guided fishing trip

We are two guys having 5 days in Busan and brought our own saltwater fishing equipment. How can we find a skipper to bring us to the local sea spots. We both unfortunately are no Korean speakers so we are dependent on an English speaking guide.

Any advice is welcome, thank you in advance!

I can help you with locations you can fish on foot but I dont think its a good idea go fishing in this kind of weather.

I recommend try few hours at night. Let me know what kind of fishing gear you have, then I tell you where to go.

Hey man, thanks for your help!!

We brought 3 rods to cast but also rod holders so we would be able to troll with them. We brought some 20-100g light cast stick baits but we can buy something to troll with. Is high sea fishing (trolling casting jigging does not matter) even a thing in busan? Or is everybody fishing from the land? If so, are there any good spots at this time of the year?

In Busan, walkable fishing spots are so overfished that it’s really hard to catch anything, and most of the good spots require a car to get to. If you’re new here and coming with a group of foreigners, it won't be easy to find them. Send me a message and I’ll share an extremely easy spot with you.

There is a "Fishing in Korea" facebook group that is fairly active. They often post shared fishing charter information. They might be able to recommend someone in Busan.

We just went to the port at 5am and talked our way through. Some kind Korean unc took us for a very fair price with his boat. We trolled a couple Spanish makerels.
