"Longtail Fishing at Cape Sata" by Shun
Location: Satamisaki Tajiri (Unokuso)
Date and time: 4 28 (7:00-14:30)
Middle tide low 11:29 - high 17:28
This time, we're aiming for a large longtail snapper.I used the Tsurumaru ferry service to get to Tajiri, Cape Sata.
We departed at 6:00 AM, and the reef we disembarked at was called "Unokuso".
Makie blends 'G-MAX' and 'White Power Plus'.
Since I mainly use boiling bait, the improved casting distance and consistency were very useful.
For bait, prepare "Makie no Boiled," "Namaiki-kun for PRO," and "Sashiesa PRO Nama."

When you scatter chum at your feet, there are many bait stealers such as butterflyfish, damselfish, and small longtail snapper.

It didn't go well...

But then a shark appeared...
Even the bites that clearly felt heavy were all snatched away by sharks midway through.
I give up!
Amidst all that, despite being bitten by a shark, he forcefully pulled it closer and finally
The largest fish caught that day was a 38cm longtail snapper.
It was a disappointing fishing trip, especially since the longtail tuna were so active...
When I asked about the situation on the recovery boat, I was told that almost all of the reefs had been attacked by sharks.
I really want to catch a big longtail snapper this year.
