Squid fishing in Ha Long Bay attracts tourists in the summer, 4 hours costs 2 million VND

At 6 p.m., fisherman Pham Van Thoi (Ha Long City) was busy preparing supplies to serve the group of guests who rented to Ha Long Bay to fish for squid. Generators, large lights, fishing rods, life jackets, cooking utensils are the things Mr. Thoi must have ready on a trip to bring guests to squid fishing.

According to this fisherman’s many years of seafaring experience, in order to catch squid, there must be no moon in the evening, the tide must be high, and the place to park the boat is near the foot of the rocky mountain on Ha Long Bay.

“The squid follows the herd and will float to eat the bait in the places where there is light, when the moon is bright, the lights are not effective, before receiving the guests, I also have to consult first if I can’t fish for squid, the customers will be sad,” fisherman Thoi shared.

The price of each night squid fishing trip is 2 million/10 guests, 4 hours long. Guests will be served fishing rods with fake bait, the houseboat will prepare a pot of sour water if they need to eat on the boat. The fishing trip will start from dusk until midnight.

Mr. Nguyen Thai Chung (SN 1989) said that this was the first time experiencing this type of fish, so he was very excited, the feeling of seeing fresh squid caught from the sea made him very excited.

“When I caught the squid, I always put it in a pot of pre-cooked sour water, the fresh squid was even more delicious than ever,” said Mr. Chung.

In addition, if the amount of squid caught is high, visitors can bring it home to eat and as a gift for the family.
