Features of fishing in the Crimea

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

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