About Fishing Cafes
Fishing is a sport for everyone, regardless of age or gender. But have you ever imagined fishing in the basement of one of the multi-story buildings in Pyeongtaek? Fishing Cafes offer a unique experience for an afternoon of family fun or something different to try with a date or group of friends.
Fishing at a fishing cafe is a fun and different experience – even for seasoned outdoor fishers. You cast into a pool filled with fish, using what looks like moist cat food as bait. Compete with other fishers to win prizes. Each caught fish is weighed and points are awarded on an electronic board. After weighing, the caught fish are released back into the pool.
Fishing Cafes v Fishing in the Rivers
You might be wondering why fishing cafes when you can fish at the stream. While you can definitely fish in the streams here legally without a license. The advantage of going to these cafes is, first, they have all of the equipment that you need there so you don’t need to buy poles, hooks, bobbers, tackle, nets and bait and any other fishing gear. All of the fishing equipment is provided for you at a fishing cafe.
The second advantage is that, at least at catch and release places, the pools are so stocked with fish that you are almost guaranteed to catch many fish. I’ve gone several times and we have caught at least five fish in an hour. That really adds a lot of fun and excitement to the experience, especially for little kids.
I remember fishing on with my grandparents when I was a little kid and we would go hours and hours and hours without catching anything. That definitely won’t happen at these fishing cafes. The other advantage is that it is indoors so it’s a great activity to do when the weather or air is less than ideal.
