Rough seas, bustling boats.
Once everything was ready, it was time to set sail. The boat is rocking more than expected due to the waves caused by the wind. The members of the group were excited with anticipation. The three Osaka residents, in particular, seemed to be excited about their first experience of sea fishing, and they couldn't stop chatting happily. The good-natured Osaka residents made everyone on board feel at ease. We headed south from Osaka Bay to Wakayama Bay. We arrived at the first point.
This time, we have a solid lineup of jigging, sabiki fishing, and swim fishing (NOMESUZE fishing) for yellowtail. Any of them should respond! First, Mr. Murayama, Ms. Nakai, Mr. Benan, Mr. Machan, and Mr. Ikemoto will try jigging, Mr. Ishii will try sabiki, and Mr. Saisu and Mr. Komatsu will try swimming. Each of them put out their rods and let's get started.
Jigging involves moving a heavy metal jig (100 to 200 grams) up and down to attract fish. It is quite difficult to jerk the rod up and down, and it can be quite a drag.
Nakai: This is my first time jigging and I still don't know what to expect. The way I move the rod is totally different from bass.
Macchan: It's difficult but fun, "mushy". I think it's time to come. I feel like I can see the bottom of the ocean (laughs).
Benin: I can't see the bottom of the ocean yet (laughs), but jigging is interesting too. I need to calm down and find the right answer.
Murayama: I ask the captain for all kinds of information, such as the current and depth of the tide.
Ikemoto: I feel like I can catch something. Depending on the fishing results around me, I plan to change to sabiki or swimmers soon, though.
Meanwhile, Ishii tries his hand at sabiki, which he did on Hachijojima. He puts krill (shrimp), which serve as bait for fish, into a basket and scatters them in the water to attract his target.
Ishii: Since I didn't touch any fish on my last sea bass fishing trip and it was the first one of the new year, I tried to catch a solid one with a sabiki. I'm not used to it, so I don't know how it responds. ......
Mr. Saisu and Mr. Komatsu targeted yellowtail using live horse mackerel, which they purchased at a fishing tackle shop on the way to the fishing port, as bait. They use live small fish as bait, so they can expect to catch a big one.
Saisu: I was interested in swimming. It's also an option when fishing for tuna, so I'm practicing that as well.
Komatsu: Unlike jigging, swimming is a waiting game. I would like to take it easy.
One hour has passed since the start. The captain decides to move northward for about an hour. The captain decides to move northward for about an hour.
