Black porgy fishing at the small breakwater of Wakimotohama Port in Akune City, Sako

November 22st

Aiming for the rising tide in the morning, I decided to cast my rod from the small breakwater at Wakimotohama Port in Akune City.

We start preparations before 8am.

I decided to use some offshore shrimp, which I also use as bait, by picking them up from the bucket.

Before setting up the fishing gear, I spread out about 20 cups of bait and then prepared the gear.

I made almost the same equipment as last time, made sure to keep the bait on the ground, created a fishing spot, and once the equipment was ready, I started fishing!

The trick is,

Rod No. 0

Reel No. 3000

Main line: 1.5

Float 00

Harris No. 1.5 → No. 1.25

Hook: Chinu hook No. 2 → No. 1

I cast my tackle and started fishing while watching the tide, but I wondered if the rising tide was flowing from the harbor to the far right, but it was flowing to the left harbor. I was puzzled by the situation this time too, not really understanding the tide's flow, but I spent an hour casting my tackle while watching the tide.

I cast my rig into the right-flowing tide, let it flow, and wait, and the float slowly disappears into the surface of the sea.

"Maybe it's a hit?"

As I slowly reeled in the excess line, I felt a tug on the tip of the rod!

When I set the hook, the fish came straight up onto the rod and I started fighting it.

After a few minutes of carefully fighting the heavy, powerful pull, I saw the shadow of a large black porgy, but it didn't come up to the surface, and after a while I finally managed to get it into the dip net, and it was a 52cm black porgy.

I couldn't help but give a fist pump when a yearling black porgy appeared for the first time in several years!

After that, despite struggling with the constantly changing tide, I caught a bite from a black porgy and fought with it, but it got thrown into the paving stones of the pier on the right and the line broke, causing the fish to come off.

After that, it broke off in the same place.

They were both good-sized black porgy, so I regret losing them twice and feel ashamed of my lack of skill.

Is it because I got away? There were no more bites so I changed the tackle!

Changed the leader to size 1.25 and the hook to size 1.

After that, a southwesterly wind started to blow, making fishing difficult, but I was able to catch my second black porgy that day with the tide flowing offshore to the left.

After that, I managed to catch a third fish at the same spot, but I tried to catch another one, but there were no bites.

I tried my best, but I ran out of bait, so I decided to fold up my fishing rod, rinse off the fishing spot that had become dirty with bait, and leave the spot.

This time too, we struggled with the ever-changing tides, but although we caught three fish, the largest of which was 52cm, and lost two, it was a satisfying fishing trip.

As we enter March, the spawning season begins, so I'd like to try and catch some fish in good numbers and with good size.
