January 4, 2026: First fishing trip to Yonemizu. Takahashi

This year, for my first fishing trip of 2026, I went to Yonouzu.

With the help of Komyomaru, I will board the 5am flight and enjoy the day in pursuit of squid and sea bream.

Since it was the New Year, the boat was fully booked!

After dropping off all the passengers, we requested a rocky shore for the final landing.

After arriving at the reef, we offered sacred sake and after about an hour had caught six squid as souvenirs, we started fly fishing at dawn.

Today's bait and feed are as follows:

[Ground Bait]

3 blocks of raw krill / GREAT GURE x 1 bag / Bakutobi x 1 bag / GURE Z x 1 bag / Breadcrumbs x 1 kg

[Bait]

Namaikikun PRO L / Candied Krill / Great Gure pickled Krill

 

After just a few casts, we were entertained by catching a 40cm+ sea bream.

Since it was difficult to catch fish consecutively at the same spot, I changed the spot and was able to catch some good-sized fish here and there.

At a fishing spot where the bottom was visible, I enjoyed my first fishing trip, catching 7 fish of 40-45cm and 8 fish of 30-40cm, which is a rare sight in the original Yonouzu area.
