Rizhao sea fishing guide: chasing the light at dawn and fishing for romance at 35° north latitude

When the first ray of sunshine from the Jiaodong Peninsula pierces the sea surface, silver pomfret dances flamingo among the waves, and the fisherman on the reef casts a perfect parabola. This is the exclusive romance of China’s sea fishing capital! Take you to unlock the ultimate gentleness and wildness of the sea. When the last star falls into the horizon, the silver scales in the incubator are still beating, like the heartbeat of a love affair with the sea. Go and embrace the sunrise and waves at 35° north latitude. May you catch your own stunning beauty. 🗺️Fishing spot analysis [One] Renjiatai Reef Park (Newbie-friendly and catch-and-shoot dual experience) ✅ Tide: When the tide is high, schools of silver pomfret are rampant, and there is a buffet of Antarctic shrimps. When the tide is low, the mudflats become a paradise for digging razor clams. 🎣 Equipment list: 3.6m rock fishing rod + Antarctic shrimp bait (renting the whole set is only 50 yuan/day, throwing the hook parabola, the sense of accomplishment is full!) 📸 Magical skill for making movies: standing on the reef and casting the fishing rod against the light, the fishing line passes through the morning light, and you instantly become the protagonist of the movie "The Old Man and the Sea"! [Two] Yellow Sea Central Fishing Port (Advanced Experts and Early Morning Light Chasing Tour) 🌅 Hardcore experience: Go out to sea on a fishing boat at 4 a.m. and watch the giant steel ship split the morning glow. From May to October, you can catch flounder, sea bass, and blackhead fish. ⚠️ Hidden secret: Look for boats with "Recreational Fishing Boat Certificate" and refuse to go fishing in aquaculture areas to catch big fish. It's really fun to fight fish in the wild sea! [Three] Wanbao Seaside Scenic Area (the best choice for families and crab fishing at Rainbow Floating Bridge) 👨One-stop stroll for the kids: Use crab cages to catch swimming crabs at low tide (remember to tie fluorescent ropes!), and take Instagram-style photos at the Rainbow Floating Bridge Fishing Platform after high tide, while the kids play in the sand while you fish. 🎣Equipment: Starting from 50 yuan, fishing like a professional. [Car] Transportation Tips: ✈️Shanzihe Airport: Take a ride directly to Renjiatai for 40 yuan, which is half the price of taking a taxi! 🚌Rizhao West Station: Take bus K2 → Shanhaitian tourist line, 2 yuan for budget travelers, 1.5 hours ride to see the coastal scenery. 🧳Save money for beginners: Rent a fishing rod + bait + spikes in Renjiatai Fishing Village = 50 yuan/day, and the boss also gives you a tide table cheat sheet! 🛒Self-purchase list: [One] Luminous float (essential for night fishing) [Two] Anti-slip spikes (life-saving equipment in reef areas, don’t wear slippers) [Three] Waterproof phone case (not afraid of falling into the sea) 🗓️Golden Schedule ✨Sunrise fishing (May-June): 4:30-7:00 am. Fish are most active when they eat breakfast. Bring fluorescent bait to fish for silver pomfret. Watch the sunrise and catch fish! 🌙Night fishing carnival (July-August): 19:00-23:00 Squids chase the lights and jump, use luminous floats to fish out the famous scene of the intersection of stars and sea. 🍂Autumn fishing feast (September-October): Fishing all day long! There is a huge outbreak of migratory fish, and the string hook bottom fishing method guarantees that you will not go empty-handed. 📸Guide to shooting blockbuster movies [Glister] Silhouette Kill: Raise your fishing rod with your back to the rising sun, let the morning light give your hair and fishing rod a golden edge, and use a 0.5x wide-angle lens on your phone to instantly turn it into a movie poster! [Rainbow] Dynamic snapshot: bend your waist and lift the rod the moment you catch a fish, and ask your partner to take continuous photos with a 35mm focal length. The moment of the splashing waves is a masterpiece! [Sun] Posing photos of fish catches: Put the fish on the side of the boat, with the sea as the background, turn on the portrait mode of the original camera to highlight the silver scales of the fish and your own smile, and you will get the feeling of "The Old Man and the Sea"! 🍤Catch and eat now 🔥Amazing operation at the dock: the caught blackhead fish is steamed directly (processing fee is 15 yuan/jin), and the octopus is stir-fried with spicy food and served with Tsingtao beer. 🍴Private food stall: Haibin 3rd Road, Old Captain Seafood House, the boss will wrap the freshly caught knife fish in flour and fry it, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. 🌌Sleeping in the sound of waves [One] Beidouwan Inn: Open the window to your private fishing platform. After night fishing, you can grill the fish you caught on the terrace. The white noise of the starry sky and the waves will help you sleep. [Two] Fisherman’s Home Hostel: The owner is a 20-year veteran in sea fishing. He takes guests to secret fishing spots every day, so even a novice can become a fishing expert. [Three] Boathouse B&B: Experience the life of fishermen. Follow the captain out to sea in the morning and come back to eat freshly cooked seafood noodles on the deck. 📝Note tips: ❶Don't believe in the deep sea monster experience! 99% of them are aquaculture areas. Ask clearly whether you have been out to sea for more than 30 minutes before paying! ❷1.5L of mineral water and sun protection sleeves are essential, as people get dehydrated quickly at sea and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. ❸Use the WeChat mini program Tide Table Wizard to check the tide level in real time. The hour before and after high tide and low tide is the busiest period for fish!
