Zhoushan Immersive Sea Fishing: Experience the Speed and Passion on the Sea

Besides the beautiful seascape and delicious seafood, sea fishing in Zhoushan is also a must-try activity. Today, I'm sharing my complete guide to sea fishing in Zhoushan, even beginners can easily get started!

🚤【Experience Process】

1. Gather and Board: Usually, you'll gather at a designated pier. The captain will help you put on life jackets and explain safety precautions.

2. Speedboat Outing: Take a speedboat to the middle of the sea and feel the whistling sea breeze and the bumpy waves. It's super exciting! At this time, you can enjoy the sea scenery, with distant islands looming in the distance. If you're lucky, you might even see dolphins leaping out of the water.

3. Sea Fishing Tutorial: After arriving at the fishing spot, the captain will give a sea fishing tutorial, teaching you step by step from how to tie bait and cast the rod to how to tell if a fish is biting and how to reel it in. You don't have to worry about not learning.

4. Start Fishing: Once everything is ready, you can start enjoying the fun of sea fishing! Wait quietly for the fish to bite. When the fishing rod suddenly sinks, the feeling of your heart racing is so exciting.

5. Return with Harvest: After finishing sea fishing, return with a full load of fish. Take the fish you caught to a nearby restaurant for processing and taste the freshest seafood.

😍【Experience】
The first time I went sea fishing, I was truly amazed by the feeling of being in close contact with the sea. On the vast ocean, surrounded only by the sound of waves and wind, my heart was incredibly peaceful. When I caught my first fish, my hands were shaking with excitement, and the sense of accomplishment was indescribable. Also, chatting with the captain and fellow anglers on the boat and listening to them share their sea fishing stories was particularly interesting.

🎣【Equipment Needed】

1. Fishing Rod: You can choose a sea fishing rod between 2.7m and 3.5m, with moderate hardness and action. If you are a beginner, you can also use the ones provided on the boat.

2. Fishing Line: Sea fishing lines are thicker, generally between 0.4 and 1.5. Choose according to the actual situation.

3. Fish Hooks: Choose the size according to the target fish species. Sizes 4 to 12 are commonly used.

4. Bait: Common baits include small fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc. These are usually provided on the boat.

5. Others: Sun protection clothing, sunscreen, sun hat, and sunglasses are essential, as the UV rays on the sea are extremely strong. You can also prepare motion sickness medicine just in case. Also, bring gloves to prevent hand injuries when reeling in the line.

⚠【Precautions】

1. Pay Attention to the Weather: Check the weather forecast in advance and try to choose a day with clear weather and light winds for your sea trip. Strong winds and waves not only affect the sea fishing experience but can also be dangerous.

2. Motion Sickness Prevention: Those prone to seasickness must take motion sickness medicine in advance. After boarding, try to sit in a well-ventilated and open area and avoid staring at the sea surface.

3. Follow Instructions: Follow the instructions of the captain and staff on the boat. Do not walk around or perform dangerous actions at will.

4. Protect the Environment: Do not throw garbage into the sea. Protect the marine environment.

5. Understand the Price: There are two ways to go sea fishing: joining a group or chartering a boat. The price for joining a group is generally between CNY 300 and CNY 800 per person, while chartering a boat costs around CNY 2,000 to CNY 4,000, including fishing rods and bait. Make sure to ask what services are included in the price to avoid unnecessary disputes.
