Kagoshima's cold season black sea bream Kamikihara

鹿児島の寒チヌ 上木原

On January 1th, I went fishing for Chinook in the tetra zone at Hirakawa Yacht Harbor in Kagoshima City.


Arrived at the scene at 6:30.
I casted the groundbait bit by bit until it became bright.
I mixed Makie at a fishing gear store early in the morning.
This time we will attack the bottom of the krill! Uses one bag each of Zudon and raw pupa black sea bream.
For bait, prepare raw PRO L and raw pupa and krill from the eating series. Use this on rote.


Fishing started around 7 o'clock.
Raw krill has no food at all. The true identity is a blowfish. I really hate these guys.


At first, I tried using a pole float.
If you remove the buoyancy of the stick float and attach a slightly larger Nellie, you can see from the top position whether or not the Nellie remains on the needle, which will help reduce unnecessary strokes.

If you invite it, the stick float will sink. I love the way a sunken stick float suddenly disappears on its way to the surface.
The one that ate in my favorite pattern was a 25cm frog-flounder.
They often appear in tetra zones. I dropped this one before I could put it in the net.

After playing with the puffer fish for about an hour, there was another pick from the same luring again. This time it's quite a size 42cm!
I avoided a blank for now.

When the tide goes down, it's only time for blowfish.
Even some dough bait didn't last a single moment when I made the bait drift in a half-hearted depth.

At this point, I changed to a full-layer fishing method and cast far.
On a 000 float, hit No. G1 one rod full length from the hook and narrowed down the point about 1m ahead to make the ground bait work.
When I used Sokozeme Zudon and Nama-sanagi Kurodai for 10 seconds, it will sink about 2 meters. The point I attacked was about 6 meters deep, so the bait could reach the bottom in 30 seconds.
The tide is flowing slowly to the left, so I try my best to guess with my brain computer that if I cast the groundbait here and put the rig here, I would evade the blowfish.

It didn't seem to be going well, so I kept trying to get it to crawl off the coast and lure it, when suddenly, just after 11 o'clock, suddenly something picked.
``A pick? ' I thought. When I tried to use the rod, the rod bent powerfully!
It was a powerfull run, I was careful and cautious, and today's largest 45cm glamorous bodied black sea bream entered the net!
Cold season black sea bream picks quite small.
I guess that's the real thrill...


After that, I had a great time with pufferfish and areolate grouper, and by 12 o'clock there was no bait left and I had to end today's fishing.

Next time I'll look for a place with less puffer fish.
