Trial 21; Checked just after raining

I had time limit to come back home this morning, and it had stopped raining around 3AM. So let's check the sea bass at the mouth of river this morning.

From 3:45 to 7:00

High tide 3:15 130 cm

Low tide 8:37 84 cm

Already got used to catch nothing this year...

Trial 20; Checked the surf after 1 week interval

From 5:40 to 9:00 at H

High tide 1:51 118cm

Low tide 7:12 80cm

Felt a sense of fish a little. Still trial goes on...

Trial 19; 4 hours in the cold

Checked new used reel's performance this morning. It works pretty well though, likely needs to clean around the torque limiter later. Mr. Meji joined me about 1 hour later and talked a little. But the sea kept silence again...

From 4:20 to 8:20

High tide 0:01 113cm

Low tide 5:42 71cm

Trial 18; Still silence

Fished at the left edge first time but got nothing... Met the local fisherman and talked a little. Likely I need to check the tide status more carefully.

From 5:30 to 9:00 at SS

Low tide 2:46 29cm

High tide 9:37, 145cm

Trial 17; Found a good hole

From 4:30 to 9:00 at new hole which I found yesterday expecting TACHIUO a little bit. Got nothing though heard precious information. If I were here yesterday...

Low tide 2:05 19cm

High tide 8:56 149cm

Trial 16; Targeting Flat Fish First time

First visiting SG hole this morning.

Got no reaction at all.

From 6:15 to 8:30

Low tide 1:28, 12 cm

High tide 8:19, 153 cm

Trial 15; Reached temporary conclusion

Sunrise on New Year's Day. I double checked the possibility TACHIUO this morning using not only jig lure but also vibration one very carefully. However got no reaction from fish. So likely need to modify the strategy a little bit.

From 5:30 to 7:30 at H hole.

Low tide 0:53, 7cm

High tide 7:43, 156cm

Trial 14; Expecting TACHIUO though...

At K, from 4:30 to 8:15

There was no reaction from TACHIUO.

Sorry, about that...

High tide 7:10, 157cm

Trial 13; I thought I got it

I enjoyed its tag so much though...

6:49 BORA, very stinky...

Hole: H, from 5:35 to 7:45

Low tide 23:47 8cm

High tide 6:37 156cm

Yesterday was the new moon

Trial 12; Just after Disney trip

Maybe got one bite of the octopus.

Hole: H, from 6:20 to 8:30

Low tide 23:15 12cm

High tide 6:05 154cm

New moon

Trial 11; Between some chores

Visited S and checked the evening situation from 16:10 to 17:00. A little windy against me. Sometimes it prevented me from casting long distance. There were some other younger lure fisherman even on the weekday.

High tide 15:17, 141cm

Low tide 22:10, 27cm

Trial 10; Completely got skunked

From 5:00 to 8:30, at I targeting sea-bass and KAMASU. Tried many types of lures and actions though, got completely no reaction from fish... 

High tide 3:53, 128cm

Low tide 8:48, 93cm

Trial 9; Santa has come to me also

5:03 First one was the biggest one ever for me. I casted 40g jig and left it for a while. When I grabbed the rod again, felt something heavy. Soon I added smaller one by the same lure.

6:20 Joyful surprise! My first catch of TACHIUO was 85cm long from the tip of its jaw to the tip of its tail. The bite point was not so far maybe he followed my jig for a while.

Must be a Christmas present for me. To tell the truth there were some risks to miss it. Because the weak PE line was rubbed with the wall when I jumped down to the shore from a bank. I was really relieved when I caught it!

7:45 left there.

<Data>

Hole: H

Weather: Cloudy

High tide: 3:37, 125cm

Low tide: 8:50, 87cm

I was conscious of  5AM which the tide move actively which went down by 30 percents from the high tide. Yes, I took it into consideration. 

Trial 8; Missed two bites (at I from 6:00 to 8:25)

of KAMASU before 7AM. And other fisherman hooked good sea bass next to me. Same person as the last week, and he missed it because of the line break being rubbed with the tetrapod... 

High tide 2:03 109cm

Low tide 6:35 90cm

And on the same day, the following pix was sent to me from Y-san. Congrats!! Now I know that it is the one of good chances for seabass fishing just after big rain.

Mentenance

To clean the torque limiter not to rotate reversely.

And as curryman mentioned, it was fixed by wood glue.

Trial 8; Landed INADA

of my next fisherman with my landing net around 7 AM. But it was only one and I got no bite from 6:00 to 8:30 at I hole... Yes, I did see INADA there. Hopefully next time...

Low tide 1:12 14cm

High tide 8:16 147cm

4 days later than full moon

Trial 7; Got cold and no boil

From 6:15-8:45 AM at H.

Got cold seriously.

There was no bill anymore this weekend.

And it sometimes showed high wave.

Excuse me, curryman.

It's tip had gone...

Today's only game...

It was good though, I would like to catch the one eating it next time.

Trial6; First contact to several boils

From 5:15-8:15

First visit to H

Did EGING during the dark. There were some small rises just close to the shore. Tried vibration lure a little though, got no bite it. Small fish eater? Maybe you should have taken two sets of tackles, and have used the lighter one for it with small soft lure or something.

From 7AM to 8AM, big chance had come! The boil occurred suddenly and intermittently. And they were within casting range! I thought I got it, but got only no reaction...

8:10 time limit. Give lance the second chance, please!

<Information>

• There were several lure fishermen though, no one caught fish.
• High tide, 3:17. Tide level:142cm

Trial 5; At the surf targeting INADA early morning

Started fishing from the dark around 5:15 with a little hope for TACHIUO. Nothing happened even it got 7 AM which should have been golden time in the morning. According to the fishing report of last week, there should have been seen the boil of INADA or something... I got tired a little, so changed lure to EGI from the jig. And on its first cast,

got this one at 7:53. Joyful first fish of EGING for me. It was totally different from the last one. 

Anyway, keep going fishing, Lance.

Trial has been still continued...

According to my web research, there were several fishing report about barracuda at I. So I visited there first time this morning. Arrived there around 4:30AM after 1 hour drive. I had no idea which side was better for jigging inside or outside. Tried inside first among bait fishermen, and got no reaction. Around 7AM, one lure fisherman caught HOUBOU at outside by jigging. So I moved outside and got one reaction bite on my jig, I couldn't set a hook though. Since I felt something good impression on this hole, I would like to visit there again hopefully.
