Honestly, fishing some squids in Halong is quite easy. In preparation for squid fishing, you will be given artificial bait, a fishing rod, and some other tools to catch squids. The most important things are to choose suitable tools, know the technique tips, and have the best health.

For the best experience of Halong Bay squid fishing, you can use the following tips

1. Choose the best artificial bait

The bait mainly decides whether you can catch any squids or not. Choosing a good one can maybe bring you the best of luck, so don’t skip this step if desiring for a bountiful fishing trip. Unlike fishing, squid fishing doesn’t need real bait but artificial ones that are usually made of rubber. These baits are in the shape and color of shrimp or fish, attached directly to a hook so that when squids see them, they will mistake them for their prey and be trapped by accessing the baits.

Normally, using a fish- or shrimp-shaped bait depends on each situation. If you can easily see the squids swimming underwater, a fish-shaped bait can be better as it is light enough to float on the surface. If the squids are hiding deep down in the sea, it is more effective to use a shrimp-like one due to its greater weight and ability to sink deep in the water.

Now, there are many brands of artificial bait to choose from. For the best-quality bait, you’d better use that made by Japanese brands like Squid Jig, or Yo Zuri, since the bait is well made and additionally painted with a luminescence that can attract the squids; hence effective squid fishing. This kind of bait will cost you about US$ 3 – 4.5 per one. If looking for a cheaper option, you can choose bait made in China. However, a lower price means lower quality.

Additionally, on choosing bait color, you should choose baits that are in dark color as squid fishing will be done at night, when the natural light is low, to make sure the squids are easily deceived.

2. Choose the best fishing rod

For the best squid fishing rod, we recommend you use the one that is about 2 – 3 meters long. Usually, a fishing rod for squid is longer and lighter than the one for fish. Therefore, you should take note when choosing the rod.

Additionally, a squid fishing rod will have to go with a 20 to 25-meter gut line so that it can’t be cut while squid fishing is done.

3. Technique tips to get the most squids

During the squid fishing trip, which usually takes place at night, the boat will turn on the underwater light system to attract the squid’s attention. Therefore, they will gather around your boat. All you need to do is drop the bait already attached to the gut line down into the water, but make sure that you do it slowly. When the squid gets trapped, the top of your rod will get a bit heavier. This is the time you pulled the line as fast as you can. However, the sign may be unclear, which requires you to completely focus to figure out when is the perfect time. If nothing happens after about 7 minutes after dropping the bait, you can pull the line, clear the bait, and try again. However, be patient as squid fishing is not for those who are hasty but a chance for you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the bay.

4. Health and safety tips

Generally, squid fishing is a must-try thing to do in Halong Bay as it is not too difficult or includes special requests. However, to take part in the activity, you will have to make sure to have a normal health condition. As squid fishing often takes place at night, you should bring a light so as not to get cold by night fog. Besides, always remember to wear a life jacket and follow the guide on the boat and never stand too close to the side of the boat.
