Wando is particularly popular among experienced fishers.  Wando has good continental shelf and oceanic current and has many great fishing points, such at Cheongsando Island, Sinjido Island, and Geumdangdo Island.  Many fishers from Goheung and Gangjin often come here to fish.  Sea bass and rockfish are easily caught at any fishing point around Wando.  It is not an exaggeration to call all 201 islands around Wando fishing points.  Anyone who enjoys fishing would enjoy coming here every now and then.  The local people host various fishing competitions almost every month during the warm seasons.
