Chasing the dream

Thinking of Tuna and Bonito. Huinamu Fishing Club runs around Sagami Bay.

The Huynem Fishing Club has caught a wide variety of fish species, with black bass at the top of the list. It is full of romance to interact with fish living in a different world underwater, making full use of lures and bait. Any kind of fishing is fun, but this time we went to Sagami Bay in pursuit of even more dreams. I was aiming to catch tuna and bonito, which are familiar fish on the dinner table and the object of angler's admiration! I was excited to catch a big one, and the fishing trip began.

That way and that way.

We changed points one after another, but other boats also gathered at the same points, as if there was a migratory route. As if to prove this point, a nabura occurs as small fish chased by larger fish rise to the surface. Mr. Murayama switches from ebbing to casting lures.

Murayama: Casting rods have sinking pencils for tuna and poppers for bonito. It seems that there are some nabras that eat and some that don't, and this nabra doesn't seem to eat. But there is an atmosphere that other boats are catching fish, so I guess someone on the koma-sei can catch them.

The Ebbing team is also enthusiastic about the little chance of a nabla. They use the same luring techniques as jigging, though, so they must have a feel for it.

Ishii: They eat worms mixed in with the koma-sei scattered nearby, so I was throwing them in time for the koma-sei team to drop them. But I never got any response at all.

Ikemoto: I have experience jigging, so I know how to move it and understand that it hits on the fall. I think the rest is just a matter of timing with the tuna and bonito.

Komatsu: You should be able to catch fish if you carefully search at the depths indicated by the captain! Keep your concentration so that you will be able to match the fish whenever you get a bite.

The koma-see team, on the other hand, seems to be trying koma-see fishing for the first time through trial and error.

Inahara: I don't know if they are aware of the bait because they can't see underwater. Maybe they are suspicious. I will try not to touch the rod and try to kill it.

Pine needles: It is a strange feeling because it is the first time for me to fish on a rocking boat. With your advice, I am starting to visualize it a little better.
