Istanbul notes. Features of national fishing

In January, all Istanbul men take to the Bosphorus fishing trail. They do this at any time of the day - especially during the day. It is terrible to imagine what they can catch there. Mutant fish? Small gupashek?
It's not clear why they like it so much ... Perhaps this is due to the fact that many men work hard at resorts somewhere all summer and autumn. And in the winter they have nothing to do and they invented a hobby for themselves.
Turks with huge rods stand on all embankments and on bridges. If desired, the bait can immediately be rented, and the bait and other tackle to buy from the seller, who is sitting next to the embankment.
But it was cold, about +4 C and I did not dare to fish. Especially surrounded by passionate Turkish men;))))
