Five fishing friends and I went to Yonemizu in search of cold-weather amberjack. We split up and started fishing, with two of us fishing at Hanare (a stand-up fishing rig) and three at Dosenbae. I headed to Dosenbae, where I expect the fishing to be slow this time of year. I cast my rod at Dosenbae two weeks ago, but by 10:00, there had been no sign of a single fish, and the patrol shifted to a different spot. I'm excited to see what the fishing will be like this time. The water temperature had risen sharply to the high 18°C. We started fishing around 7:00 AM. We rotated between fishing spots every two hours. I started at the end of the lagoon, but there were no fish at all. Since the bait was being taken, the baldfish and pufferfish seemed to be active. After catching a few Japanese smelt and filefish, we moved to the tip of the fishing spot. There was a current at the tip of the bay, and I cast my line from around the current, but there was no reaction from the sea bream, but I caught a steady stream of red parrotfish. Aiming for the offshore current, I abandoned the shallow shelf and headed for a deeper one. After just over a half hours, I felt a bite on the line, and a sea bream measuring 35cm or larger appeared. I was so happy with this one. I continued fishing with the same pattern, but nothing worked. Time passed, and two hours passed, so I moved to the middle fishing spot. It was time for a mix-and-match break. The three of us chatted and took a break, and it was past noon. For the remaining two hours, I changed my rig to a semi-guided rig and continued fishing. After a few casts, I caught a small long-fingered fish the size of a foot, but nothing more. As usual, the red parrotfish were active and coming in one after another. I don't know how many fish I caught. I adjusted the amount of bait I threw and aimed for the edge of the current, and after a while I got a bite. The float suddenly disappeared into the sea, and I caught another sea bream measuring 30cm or larger. After that, I called it a day without any bites. As expected, the fishing was tough, but it was a fun day, and it also served as practice for the manufacturer's tournament. We caught a number of large, sizable pole-mounted tuna, and it seemed like everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone who joined us for a great day.

Sunday, February 1st: Fishing trip to the Geiyo Islands off the coast of Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, outer rim. I went fishing for cold-weather black porgy to the Geiyo Islands off the coast of Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. This trip was for practice for a manufacturer-sponsored qualifying tournament to be held next month, and I was assisted by Kodama Ferry. The Geiyo Islands are made up of multiple islands, and the currents passing between them often create complex flows. Many fishing spots become difficult during spring tides. The day I went fishing was a spring tide. Among the many rocky shores, the captain guided me to a fishing spot with favorable fishing conditions, both in terms of ebb and flow.

On January 18th, I went black porgy fishing with my nephew, Souta, at Hayato Shinko Port in Kirishima City. Souta, who will be entering junior high school this spring, has been interested in living creatures since he was a child. In addition to carp, catfish, and fish caught in the river, he also keeps turtles at home. In season, he also goes out to catch and raise stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles. He is a boy who loves animals. This was Souta's first time fishing for black porgy, and of course, his first time fishing with a float. I taught him how to spread bait, how to attach the bait, how to cast the rig, and how to manipulate the line. For a while, he couldn't reach the target point, and he was inconsistent, going left or right. With each try, he began to cast closer to the target. Once he was able to cast closer to the target, he seemed to enjoy it and his smile spread. "It's pulling! It's pulling!" he exclaimed, excited as he caught his first bite.

Low tide 5:50 AM, high tide 12:08 PM, wind northwest 7-8 meters. I won the lottery for a fishing tournament I'd entered in the Kujukushima Islands, so I went black porgy fishing with some fellow anglers. The wind was northwest 7 meters, with a light rain and a chilly breeze. Hoping for a comfortable fishing experience, I asked the captain for a sheltered spot and headed out to the reef.

For my first fishing trip of 2026, I went to Yonouzu. Thanks to the help of Komyomaru, I boarded the 5am boat and plan to enjoy the day in pursuit of squid and greenfish. As it was the New Year, the boat was fully booked! After all the passengers had disembarked, I requested a rocky shore to dock at the end. After docking, I offered sacred sake and secured six squids as souvenirs in about an hour, then started float fishing at dawn.

On December 30th, I participated in the Aitsuumi Year-End Fishing Tournament held in Funama, Osumi Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture. This time, eight people, including an observer, competed for the weight of three black porgy. We boarded the ferry Jimimaru and set sail just after 7:30 AM. I and observer Fukagawa set sail at Arasaki. I anchored the boat, while Fukagawa cast his rod at a point offshore to the right. We had mixed the bait in advance, so we added seawater, stirred it, and prepared the tackle while we continued baiting.

On December 28th, I headed to the rocky shore of Kishira, Kimotsuki Town, for my final fishing trip. I shouldered my backpack and headed to the fishing spot, a 20-minute walk across mountain paths and rocky areas. I was relieved to find the spot I was aiming for was empty. All that was left was excitement and anticipation to see if I would be able to catch anything. The rising tide was moving nicely when I started fishing, and on my second cast, I caught a decent-sized fish, over 30cm. I wondered if I could keep catching fish consistently, but there was still some swell, so I put my rod down and took a break. You can't fight nature, so safety comes first. Meanwhile, as high tide approached, the tide was coming in from offshore, and the edge of the current I'd just let out felt good. It was starting to smell like a sea bream was about to emerge. I waited, keeping the rig 2-length no-gun line taut and neither too tight nor too loose, until the float slid into the water with force, and I got a bite.
