Hey all, I just got back from a really fun fishing trip to Busan. What an awesome city - the beaches and seafood were incredible.
One thing that totally blew me away was the Jagalchi Fish Market. It's massive, with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of fresh catches. This article does a great job describing it: https://www.remotelands.com/travelogues ... obsession/.
The market comes alive around dawn each day as all the fishing boats come in. You can watch the daily auctions, which are really competitive. Later, the stall owners called "ajummas" sell the seafood. They're formidable bargainers but also so friendly.
I mostly fished from the beaches, which were stunning. Caught sea bass and blue crabs using topwater lures while enjoying the scenery. The locals were very welcoming too - one fisherman shared some great spots with me.
If you're ever in the area, I really recommend checking out Busan. The seafood, scenery and people made it one my favorite fishing destinations.
