Seabass Fishing in June, Vol.1

Seabass fishing

Do you Know Ichiro in Mariners of Major Leagues? His family name is Suzuki. Suzuki is a name of fish and we Japanese believe suzuki is luck-bringer fish. The English name of suzuki is seabass.

In June, I get up early and go fishing every morning. Then I come home ,take breakfast with my family and go to my work place.

In the first half of June, I go to the river to enjoy Masu Salmon fishing. My games of Masu Salmon fishing in 2002 are shown in Masu Salmon Fishing. In the second half of June, I go to the river mouth of the Shinano River to fish Japanese seabass. Now I show you a half of my seabass games in June. I will show another half of my results in Vol.2 soon.

Thouth it was rainy morning, the water was not so claudy. I casted a small minnow plug, and got two seabass soon ( Photo 1 and 2 ). The size of those were 45cm 0.7Kg and 54cm 1.5Kg. After that a nice sized fish hit my lure, but the fish ran to the structure and cut my line! Oh my God!

In that morning, seabass did not come into the river mouth probably, for evry anglers could not catch it. I found a big group of anchovy were in the outer sea, and then I found some boiling of fish. I casted a lure and fished a yellowtail easily ( Photo.5 ). I was lucky.

Then I casted a plastic worm and fished three flounders and a yellowtail. I thought all of those were chasing anchovy in the river mouth.
