Akune City Wakimoto Port Outside Black Porgy Fishing Sakawa

Last week on February 17th, my junior colleague M-san

"I caught a black porgy about 45cm long from the tetrapods outside the harbor!"

So, since I had some free time in the morning of the 17th, I decided to go fishing and headed to the tetrapods outside Wakimoto Port in Akune City.

It's difficult to carry luggage.

I thought it might be difficult to move around the tetrapods, so I gave up on the tetrapod area and decided to cast my rod from a small breakwater nearby.

The bait is frozen leftovers from greenfish fishing, thawed, with

Soko-zeme! Zudon

Nama Sanagi Kurodai

Black Turbo Plus II

the following ingredients mixed.

Bait is

Sashiesa PRO L size, M size

Namaikikun Twin Pack PRO L size

Meccha-kuu! Series Corn

I prepared the following.

It was my first time in this spot, and looking at the map, I wondered if the whole area was sandy, so I scattered about 20 scoops of ground bait to attract fish and then prepared my tackle.

While preparing, make sure to keep the bait flowing and the fishing gear is complete.

Rod No. 00

Reel No. 3000

Main line: 1.5

Float 00 → 000

Harris No. 1.5

Hook: Chinu hook No. 2

Once I was ready, I started fishing just after 7am.

It was an ebb tide from slack tide, and it was my first time in this place, so I thought that the current would be coming from the left, coming from the inner part of the bay.

The ebb tide hit the right side of the pier and flowed out to sea, then the reverse current from the harbor on the left side flowed out to sea, and then it continued to flow into the inner bay.The current was unstable, making fishing difficult, but I was able to catch my first black porgy of the day, about 40cm, with the tide flowing offshore on the left side.

After that, I continued to struggle with the constantly changing tide and the rig wasn't working very well, so I changed the float to a Triple 0.

The reverse current from the left hit the pier and flowed out to sea, and I cast my rig near the wall of the ebb tide offshore.

As I waited with the fishing gear set up, I felt a bite on the tip of my rod!

I was using a dough bait, so I had to wait a few seconds for the fish to bite and get on the rod!

It came right up to the rod, so I set the hook and started fighting.

The pull was stronger than the previous black porgy, so I fought it carefully.

After a few minutes, I saw the shadow of a black porgy, but it didn't come up to the surface, and after a while I finally managed to catch it in the dip net, which was a tall black porgy about 45cm long.

After that, while battling the ever-changing tide, I got what seemed to be a black porgy bite, but maybe I struck too early? It was a complete loser.

The next bite was a pufferfish.

While there were still no bites from black porgy, I was able to catch my third black porgy of the day, also about 40cm long, with the tide flowing offshore to the left.

I kept my fishing rod out until after 11 o'clock, but there were no bites after that.

I washed the fishing spot thoroughly and left it.

The cold weather, the location was new to me, and the tides were constantly changing, making for some difficult fishing, but I was able to catch three black porgy, making it a very satisfying fishing trip.

Next time I'd like to go during high tide.
