Raft fishing off the coast of Kurahashi Island, Hiroshima Prefecture Sotowa

In mid-January, three fishing friends went fishing on an oyster raft off Kurahashi Island.

On the day of the fishing trip, it was so strong that the ferry was canceled at Hiroshima Bay, which is my home ground.Even in such weather, the rafts on Kurahashi Island are scattered in areas that can withstand the wind, so they are useful at this time of year.
The water depth of the raft we went up this time is about 8-13m, which is rather shallow, and the oysters are hanging down to about 8m.

The formula of the maki bait used was selected so that it would accumulate firmly at the bottom.
"Bottom attack!"Zudon" and "Ore no Chinu" are sticky, so you can drop them in chunks.In addition, I love the [Raw chrysalis black sea bream] because it contains plenty of yellow barley and has a synergistic effect with bait and corn.

After I started fishing, Charico reacted well and took Sashiesa before it reached Chinu's Tana.When I kept the souvenirs, I wanted to see the face of the favorite, so I moved the point away little by little.

In this case, I set my sights on the black sea bream that came out from between the oysters hanging at my feet, and changed the gimmick to a semi-nomadic movement that decided the float.

Fish live under my feet, so I had to wait patiently for bait such as filefish and puffer fish, but I finally caught the favorite hit that drew the float strongly.
The one that came up was a tall and good-looking chinus.I was able to add another one with the same pattern.

After that, I caught an even heavier fish, but it got in between the oysters and unfortunately the line broke.I felt frustrated, but vowed revenge and left the raft off Kurahashi Island.

At this time of year, the black sea bream is fatty and has a good taste, which is appreciated by the family.It is said that black sea bream caught on a raft is particularly delicious.By all means, please try fishing on a raft aiming for cold black sea bream.
