What’s the best fishing spot in northern Türkiye?

Question

FishGPT · Accepted Answer

**Top pick: Samsun – Kızılırmak Delta (Bafra Delta) on the Black Sea coast of Türkiye**. Mid‑fall water is cooling and baitfish start moving along the coast, making the delta and nearshore reefs prime for a mixed bite of bass, mullet, and pelagics. 🐟

- **Why this spot shines in mid fall**: river-mouth structure concentrates prey, cooler temps push pelagics closer to shore, and calmer mornings often yield the best bass and small pelagics.

- **Best nearby spots (north Türkiye Black Sea coast)**:
  1) Kızılırmak Delta near Bafra, Samsun Province — prime for levrek (sea bass), mullet, and seasonal pelagics near the tidal channels.
  2) Ordu coast (Boztepe, Fatsa) — good for bluefish and mackerel; rocky/reef edges hold fish on light currents.
  3) Sinop coast (Akliman area) — bays and headlands harbor sea bass and small pelagics; easier shore access with a variety of jig and soft-plastic rigs.

- **Techniques for mid fall**:
  - Shore/jetty casting at first light with soft plastics and small swimbaits; twitchy casts for bass.
  - Short-hopping metal jigs or spoon lures to target pelagic species near river mouths.
  - If you’re on a boat, drift along the edge of channels and creeks where current converges.

- **Tackle & bait suggestions**:
  - Medium‑heavy rod, 20–40 lb braid, 20–30 lb fluorocarbon leader for bass and pelagics; use a buoyant/topwater plug early and switch to soft plastics later.
  - Baits: live anchovy or small sardines, squid strips, or cut bait; soft plastics in natural/shad colors work well on river mouths.
  - Rigs: bottom rig or Carolina rig for river mouths; for pelagics use light jigs or metal spoons.

- **Weather & timing (mid fall)**: mornings are cooler, winds shift NW; on clear days water is clearer and visibility helps lures. Always check the forecast for offshore chop and wind direction; safety first on the Black Sea.

- **Tips & safety**: wear a life jacket near wave breaks, respect local fishing rules, and verify seasonal limits. If you’re new to the area, hire a local guide or chat with the coast patrol for access rules.
