Seabass Fishing in June, Vol.2

Seabass fishing

As described in Seabass fishing in June, Vol.1, I went to the river mouth of the Shinano River to fish Japanese seabass in the second half of June. I already show you a half of my seabass games in Seabass fishing in June, Vol.1. I will show another half of my results here.

I had thunderstorm in that morning. I felt some electric shocks through my carbon fiber rod. It was dangerous. But I had seen that a group of seabass had been chasing anchoveis under my nose! I decided I should fish.

Soon I hit a nice sized seabass. I fought well and I thought I could no doubt get it. But hooks of my minnow plug had been straightened! Oh, my God! I said to it. "You will live to the age of a hundred!"

Then I got a common sized seabass of 54cm 1.3Kg ( Photo.1 and 2 ). But the group of seabass had gone away.

I moved to another spot. I thought I might not fish nice sized seabass, as the thunderstorm had gone, the sun rose and was shiny.

Against my expectation, a good sized seabass bit at my minnow plug. This is it ( Photo.3 ,4, 5 ). The size of it was 82cm 3.8Kg. I was lucky.

It was rainy morning. I like rain, as almost anglers never go fishing and the activity of fish is high in the rain. I fished one seabass soon ( Photo.7 ). The size of it was 48cm 0.8Kg. Then I came back home, ate breakfast and went to my work place as usual days.

It was cloudy and the north wind was blowing in that morning. It was the good chance to fish seabass. I got the first seabass soon; 54cm 1.4Kg ( Photo.7 ).

The second seabass I fished was a good one. The size of it was 68cm 2.4Kg. It is not so often to get two seabass in one morning in my spot. I was lucky.


Thus I had been enjoying seabass fishing in June 2002. I am happy, for I live by the sea and my wife seldom claims that I should not go fishing so often. Then my family eat fish dishes every day.
