The sluice of Sekiya flood-control channel

I went seabass fishing to the sluice of Sekiya flood-control channel on July 19 and 20 ( See here ). Then I went to Niigata West Port again and enjoyed seabass fishing from July 23 to 27. I tell you about these fishing results here.

It was a fine morning. A big typhoon came a week ago and the water had been heavily muddy. Muddiness had gradually gone and it was a chance to fish seabass. But I got only a small one ( Pic.1 ), the length of which was 38 cm. Things does not go always well, I think.

It was fine. Japanese summer is hot and the water of the Shinano had gotten warmer. I thought it was better to fish on the sea side rather than on the river mouth.

Soon I fished a rock fish of 30 cm in length ( Pic.3 ). I was glad as this fish is delicious.
