Where does fishing in the Barents Sea take place?
The main area of coastal fishing is located near the shores of the Rybachiy Peninsula and Kildin Island. In this regard, there are three most popular starting points for fishing:
- Fishing from Teriberka
- Fishing from Ura-Guba
- Fishing from Murmansk
The only difference is in the fishing area. Fishing from Teriberka is possible near the island of Kildin. Of course, you can go to Rybachiy, but it takes a very long time. The Rybachy Peninsula, in turn, is occupied by fishermen from Ura-Guba. These two Settlements are located on opposite sides of the Kola Bay. These three points (Murmansk, Ura-Guba, Teriberka) are the main exits to the sea for non-industrial vessels.
