Awesome video! As a strictly English speaker living in Korea it’s difficult to find fishing content. Your videos are very informative and your editing skills add so much value to the videos.
Wooooowwww. This is exactly what I am looking for ..I life in India and moving to seongnam in a month .. . My kid has a dream of catching fish and he has been asking me to take him for almost past 5 years .. I got a great idea from your videos . You don't know how much useful this information is for me ..
Thanks for creating this video, it's great information! Just arrived in Seoul last month and am still a bit lost about going fishing in Korea, because I don't speak much Korean. I would love to go fishing with you, if that offer still stands :)
Perfect timing to find this video....my son is right now standing in Gangneung. I think he was headed out to the white or red lighthouse on the seawall. I sent him this to watch.
This is Acuta's son, actually drove out to Samcheok yesterday. Drove a little south to the Hujin Embankment where I saw my first fish actually being caught since ive been here in Korea. Was able to cast my line out just before last light and caught my first fish here! Gave it to the ajusshi's to add to their collection before driving back home.
I Love your use of google Sat maps. Drone footage. Ground video. To help the viewer better understand the location. Great overview of the various regions of the south Korean Peninsula and the types of game fish targeted. I’m from the USA and am interested ahead of my trip to S.Korea.
Thank you very much for all those informations, going to Korea in September for 2 weeks. Will visit Seoul, Busan and more. Of course I’ll bring my travel rod with me from Paris. Your video is more than what I could hope on TH-cam for informations. 정말 감사합니다
Great guide! I'll be visiting Korea in Nov on a family holiday and will be bring a travel aji gear. Is aji fishing popular ? I'll be going to Jeju as well
Thanks alot for the info! Just came to Korea and been looking for places to go fishing, it's become my favorite hobby that I wouldn't mind doing all day lol. I might take you on that offer with fishing with you once I'm settled in. Thanks again for the information !!!
Oh I am glad to hear that the information I provided was helpful for you! It seems like you are living in Korea. In case you have an opportunity to come down South to Geoje(거제), we can go out together. But it has to be from July for big fish.
Thank you so much for the really informative video, i love fishing and I've been in Gunsan for 3 years now in Pyeongteak, I'm really interested to explore more fishing spots in Korea,
Flying out to for my first trip to Korea. Landing in KR on Sunday. Myeondong area. Hopefully I will find a good tackle store and go look at local fisherman fishing. 😬 So excited!!
@@rockyshore-english I figured out how to navigate around and also how to get some tackle shops to show up on the Navi Map app. I hit up a bunch of stores. Some are amazing. There as so many tackle and gear. For various fishing technique that I am not familiar with. I purchased a Korean fishing book and hopefully can learn some of the methods from the diagrams and pictures. Anyways, I spent many days seeking out and browsing the Korean tackle store. Even managed to purchase some new fishing gear. And the store even packaged up the rods in heavy duty boxes to make the trip back home. Rods were all in their packages so it’s hard to shop for them. Especially since I wasn’t able to communicate properly with the store staff. I show the staff an example of the rod we use for the lightweight surf setup in southern CA. It was the Phenix Trifecta Lite 904MH rated for 1/2-1oz. He suggested a NS rod as well as a Shimano. However, he feels the Shimano one was the better of the two. So I picked up a 23 Dialuna S90ML paired with a Vanquish C3000XG. Such a pretty combo, like it was made for each other. Was hesitant and unsure if the ML action had enough backbone for the Flounder (Halibut) and Corvina and Striped Bass I wanted to target in San Diego. Happy to say this lightweight surf set up is perfect after coming back home and fishing with it. Has the power, and nice bend to keep the fish pinned. Plus still sensitive. Throws a 110mm jerkbait minnow well. I asked the shop staff where to fish in Seoul. And seems like one must travel to the west or eastern seas to fish. Quite a trip just to go fishing. So I didn't get to try fishing in Korea. My wife and I are already looking into a follow up trip. We're thinking of Busan. The only negative of the whole trip is the summer heat and humidity. It makes it hard to move around when one's constantly soaked with sweat like I am. 😅 The amazing cafes and coffee every few steps made up for it.
Amazing information! I have lived here over 2 years and have been looking for places to go. Thank you so much. I can't wait to go try all these places out! Living in Daegu I can easily get to most of these spots.
Can you recommend a boat captain in Busan? Somebody who could speak a little English would be awesome. I’d like to catch yellow tails or small tunas. Thanks in advance… love the videos you’re making!
Common bait in South Korea is what we call krill which is smaller shrimp. But if also use blood worm, sliced mackerrel too. We have grouper and drummer. Emperor fish can be found in the far south such as Jeju island but other parts of South Korea, Bream can be found.
Well...I will give you an answer based on Fishing in Korea. Jigging rod with maximum lure casting weight 80g / PE(braided line) 20~30lb / 4000~5000 reel, 40~80g metal jigs
Hi. Quick question why you stopped posting videos. Last video. 2 years ago. I am coming to south korea. Hoping to join you on some fishing adventures. I am from South Africa.
Hi I am busy these days so it became harder for me to find time to go fishing and make videos. I still occasionally go but I cannot plan ahead. Send me an email about your plan and anything you can share with me about you to my email : rockyshore.korea@gmail.com
Love the videos. 형 do you know where I can find fishing rules & regulations for South Korea? I would love to get back into fishing in Korea but I don't know of the regulations in Korea. Preferably in English but Korean is fine. Thank you
Well... maybe there is no rules and regulations written in English. I don't think we have any special rules and regulations for foreigners. But you have to keep your safety by yourself and release minimum fish size by the law.
You can call and ask to the city hall if you are ok with speaking in Korean. Im from Busan and only fishing at fresh waters like reservoir, river kind of places so ye there are rules and regulations for a lot of fishing spots, you can easily find warnings on the board near by water says not allowed to fishing at this area or not allowed to use powder based baits (like the one for asian carp fishing) plus there are rules and regulations for endangered species you cannot bring those and cannot fishing.
Thanks! Exactly what we are looking for. Commented on your other video too. Would love to take a fishing adventure with you when we visit, and would enjoy having you fish with us if you ever come to Washington State, USA. @Baywolf_films
I am glad to hear that the info i provided is helpful for you. I am not able to enjoy fishing as often as I used to, but I still love going fishing if I can find time. Let us see if we can work out the schedule!
Thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear you’re not fishing as much as you would like. We are coming to Korea in mid April and will be staying until May. Can you tell us what kind of fish we might target in April? Can you recommend a charter boat so we can sea fish? Hope we can meet and possible fish together. Hope to hear back.

Can you catch Flounder around Busan from the shore? One of my favorite fish to catch.
Do you mean Halibut kind of flat fish? No, Busan has low chance for that fish
Very informative for people who love to fish. You showed beautiful islands 👍
I wish they found my video to be helpful too. Thank you for your comment :)
Hello! Great video. Is bait fishing common in Korea? Using squid, octopus and shrimp? Also, are there fish like grouper, drum and emperor fish?
Common bait in South Korea is what we call krill which is smaller shrimp.
But if also use blood worm, sliced mackerrel too.
We have grouper and drummer. Emperor fish can be found in the far south such as Jeju island but other parts of South Korea, Bream can be found.
Well well, thx a million
Fantastic video, do you have a video with recommended ideas of the type of jigging rods, reels and lures to use. ??
Well...I will give you an answer based on Fishing in Korea.
Jigging rod with maximum lure casting weight 80g / PE(braided line) 20~30lb / 4000~5000 reel, 40~80g metal jigs
@@rockyshore-english Thank You so much .. I would also like to ask if the use of Bucktail Jig common ... again Than you..

I will contact you in March. Thank You.

Hello. Do I need a fishing license for sea fishing in Korea?
No you don’t
@@rockyshore-english Thank you for the reply. I'm packing my gear and looking for the best fishing spot in June.
Oh how exciting! June is the good season for fishing!
What about Jeju?!
I don't have info as I do not live there
Thanks! Exactly what we are looking for. Commented on your other video too. Would love to take a fishing adventure with you when we visit, and would enjoy having you fish with us if you ever come to Washington State, USA. @Baywolf_films

Hi April is not so great time as the sea temperature does not recover yet. You can target cold water fish like cod in the east sea or rock fish.
Thanks. The information really helps us plan. We catch Cod and rock fish here in Washington, so probably won't fish in Korea this trip then.
