It is a little similar to its river counterpart, but due to the different structure of the internal organs it belongs to different biological orders. Looking at photos of sea bass you can see how beautifully colored they are; pink, red green, plain or covered with spots or stripes.
When rising to the surface with a difference in pressure, the eyes protrude. The body is protected by powerful scales. The rays of the dorsal fin secrete caustic mucus, so pricking them causes inflammation.
Habitat
The places where sea bass are found are varied. Different individuals have mastered the water surface from the tidal zone to 3 kilometers.
Inhabits the northern part of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic, and is also found on the Black Sea coast. Most often, red snapper is present in the catches.

A suitable place for a float rod is considered to be fishing from a pier, as well as a place where the bottom is muddy or sandy, and the average depth reaches up to two meters.

Fishing on Sakhalin
Local fishermen claim that in these parts the perch is very voracious. As a rule, bamboo rods are used. He loves rocky spaces with thickets of algae.
You must have shoes that do not slip on wet stones. He is leisurely, the bait must rest, and then the bite begins.
You must pull immediately, or she will swallow the hook deeply and it will be difficult to remove it. Catching an individual is exciting, especially large specimens.

Grilled smarida snappers
Grilled perch (smarida) is extremely easy to prepare. The recipe is suitable for any small fish - horse mackerel, river perch, bleak.
Today we will cook perch on the grill, as we usually cook grilled fish. Friends decided to surprise me with wild Black Sea fish. They handed me a couple of kilograms of fresh frozen perch. For which we express our deep gratitude to them, all the best and sincere wishes!
Judging by the testimony of friends and the pictures, this is a Black Sea spotted perch, smarida (Spicara) - a genus of Centracanthidae fish, perch-like. Near the coast of Ukraine in the Black Sea, two species are found: striped smarid (Spicara maena) and common smarid (Spicara smaris).
However, in Crimea it is called sea bass, blue perch, and spotted perch. This is a small fish, no longer than the palm of your hand. Smarida is easily recognized by small round dark spots on the sides of the body or blue stripes along the body, depending on the variety.
I remembered how in Bulgaria our friends, with whom we vacation almost every year, grill small Black Sea fish, mainly hake, horse mackerel, and small bluefish. Therefore, there was no special search for a recipe. Smarida is sea bass, only small and very tasty. Grilled perch - smarida, it turns out great.
Grilled perch - based on a recipe from Bulgaria. By the way, the taste is very close. Everything is extremely simple: clean the fish, marinate for a short time, fry on a grill or grill pan, you can also cook tilapia fillet on the grill or mackerel on the grill.

How to catch Black Sea perch
So, you have decided to go to the sea to catch perch, then let’s study the features of fishing. The best time for fishing is considered to be the period after spawning, from early July to September. You can fish both from the shore and from a boat. Even beginners can catch perch from the shore, just look for places where there are a lot of stones and seaweed on the bottom, where small perch prefer to live, gnawing seaweed and hunting small animals. Experienced fishermen prefer to go out on the open sea by boat, where they may catch a larger and more impressive specimen. This fish is careful, it bites, and meanwhile it eats the bait. The bait is small crustaceans, sea worms, pieces of fish and raw shrimp. They catch perch using a tyrant or a bottom fishing rod.
Donka is the best tackle for smarida. But when choosing, take a telescopic fishing rod no shorter than 5 m, with a light spinning reel and 100 m of fishing line, with a diameter of 0.18-0.20 mm. Size hooks No. 3-5 are preferably thin. The float must be submersible, since sea bass is caught at a depth of more than 5 m, then use a sliding float mount. Catching this fish does not require special tricks; lower the equipped tackle no deeper than 10-13 m, then periodically raise the sinker by 0.5 m. from the bottom. Smarida attacks the bait very zealously, his bite is felt like a sharp push.
And since your movements are chaotic, you thereby hook the perch and the prey is already on the hook! Due to the desperate fluttering, the fish can easily break off, and to prevent this from happening, you need to take good care of the hooks so that they are sharp and well secured. And fishing with a tyrant is interesting and productive. Thanks to the gear designed for tyrants, you can catch several fish at once, the main thing is to find a school and you won’t be left without a catch!
Fishing for smarida always ends with excellent results; rarely does anyone complain about an empty fish tank! Happy fishing to you too!
