Broadly speaking, regarding the fishing ground of sport anglers nationwide in Phu Yen, it is mainly under the management of Dong Hoa town, in short, the main shuttle point belongs to Phu Lac fishing port in Hoa Hiep Nam ward. .

There are regarding 10 boats serving sport anglers here. There are ships that carry deep-water fishing every day (from a day and a half or more) and there are also many boats that carry fishing near the shore, going back during the day.
The anglers coming to Dong Hoa usually fish in 4 categories: dribbling, snagging, dip fishing and jig fishing. In particular, the fishing is gentle, leisurely, with little investment, so the “coffee” level is also less.
You only need to prepare one or two vertical, mid-range reels, accompanied by a few flexible, sensitive rods and a little lead to be able to have enough tools to “play” this genre.
You need to prepare regarding 1kg of shrimp, which is enough bait to fish all day. A day of fishing starts around 5 am. Arriving at the wharf, preparing and sailing the boat, from 5:30 to 6:00 (clear water surface) can start a day of fishing.
The fish of this type of gill fishing are usually small inshore fish such as bream, parrotfish, trout… usually fished in shallow water from 7-15m), so when the fish eats, turn the camera and rest, both hands are stuck.
Drag fishing is letting the boat drift along the water to bait to find fish, so it can be said that this type of fishing never repeats the same place in a day of fishing. If the day is calm, the wind and water are favorable, just drop the anchor to the bottom and dribble carefree.
If you meet a meal of water and wind, if you want the boat to go slowly, you need to let it go. This beam is considered as a sail in the water. It’s a piece of cloth regarding 4m2is tied with a rope and ballasted 4 corners so that when dropped, it expands like a sail, pulling the boat along the water, slowing the speed of the wind, so the boat goes slowly.
It is also correct to say the sentence is less high because when it comes to sentences, it rarely hits unexpectedly. However, meeting the season of squid eating, sometimes pulling a few fish, meeting a winning meal, regarding 1kg of ground squid hugging the bait, the fisherman feels very high.
Next, hook fishing is a type of fishing that is relatively light in terms of equipment, and does not cost money to buy bait. You only need to use a fishing kit, equipped with a rod with a length of 3.6m or more, and confidently step off the boat.
Although it doesn’t cost money to buy bait, but every time you go fishing, you have to prepare all day in advance because fishing for fish such as scad, bream, bream, silverfish … so only fishing with feather bait, requiring you to catch tongue, prepare many and thorough fishing lines.
To have a satisfactory set of fishing rods, first of all, you must catch the hook with feathers (silver thread that is sold or nylon rope often used to sew rice bags). You catch the hook and grab that hair straight, each time, the prey has a jump like a new fly to trick these edible fish.
Compared to the dribble, the fishing is more extreme, more laborious: you have to jiggle (lift the rod up, lower the rod) all day, so at night, your whole body is sore.

Like the jiggle form, the jig also requires the angler to jig throughout the fishing process. This is the most luxurious, strenuous and “coffee” type of sentence.
The gear of this category is luxurious, the reel must be from the Shimano Stella line of 4,000 or more, with a good set of PE lines and a good jig rod.
It is a type of fishing that drops fake bait to the bottom of the sea and then jigs up to near the surface of the water and then drops it once more. Up or down half way, meet the autumn, the raft, the orange … one bite is the start of a thrilling, attractive and also many times regretful because of the lost fish, explosive ropes, shouting nets…
One type of sport fishing that is attracting fishermen to focus on Dong Hoa to experience is dip fishing. This is the type of reef fishing, going offshore, deep water, a lot of investment, very expensive.
To be a follower of this sect, you must have a horizontal, electric-powered fishing reel in your hand, a few fishing rods that are hard enough to load 4-5 kg of lead without any change.
Besides, each time you go fishing, you need to carry 10kg of fishing lead or more. It’s a tool, and bait, you have to prepare at least 10kg of all kinds of fish, scad, squid …
A dip fishing trip must be at least 24 hours or more. To hit the right fishing point, it usually takes 3 hours for the boat to run (from the shore, the nearest 18 nautical miles). Arriving, waiting for the captain to see the water, watch the wind, drop the anchor… regarding 30 minutes to start fishing.
Meeting on a calm water day, fishing for a 1kg lead island is sky-high happiness. On the day the water flows, 4-5kg of lead is also a daily occurrence of the sect of immersion fishing.
A single drop is a time when you are faced with the preparation of losing your fishing rod because of a rift. Trawling, if lost, costs regarding 10,000 VND; losing jig costs 200,000-300,000 VND; the same goes for immersion fishing: a fishing line with at least 3 hooks (30,000 VND), 5 meters of good line (10,000 VND), a set of anti-twist (30,000 VND); 3-5kg of lead (from 120,000 VND or more) and 3 prey.
Immersion fishing is usually fished from a depth of 80-150m to catch grouper, cobia, orange fish, etc., generally large fish. In the past, when going fishing, some anglers often criticized the use of electric machines because they thought that the fish would eat, press the button, and the fish would go up by itself. But it’s not like that, in fact. When the fish eats fishing, you also have to trick, when pulling power, when standing the machine, when pouring the line … to be able to catch the fish.
I also used to “fight” for 1 day with 2 orange fish, one 26kg and one 25kg. The coffee is indescribable. You can only tell how good it is when you catch one yourself!
The east wind has returned and from time to time, some early thunderstorms appear. Pack your sport fishing gear, we’ll go out to sea.
