We went fishing to Genkai nada (North of Kyushu
Island) on August 20th, 2016.
Our fishing friend who lives in Fukuoka
asked us to come and went fishing together.
3 people from Momoi went there, Yoshi, Yuko
and Ken.
We were planning to go on 21st but
changed to 20th 9:00 in the morning due to the forecast of bad stormy
weather on 21st.
So, we departed at 2:00 in the early morning
after our work on 19th and having short nap.
And we arrived the destination at 8:30 in
the morning after almost 7hours drive.
The boat we took was “Kaisho maru” which
main port is Nata, Fukuoka.
Our target was Hiramasa (King Fish) by
jigging.
As soon as we arrive there, we start
fishing in the off shore targeted the King fish and Yellow tail.
The main line was Momoi’s Jigline MX8 0.28mm
and the leader line was Momoi’s shock leader 60lb.
For the jig, we equipped Fast Flip of
Gearlab. This item allures the targets by just retrieving action and Ken hit
the small lizardfish. We released it soon. After that Ken changed the jig to
Inchiku of Assist Kobo. He retrieved slowly and tried to attract the fish to
the Inchiku. Soon Ken got the target. It was red spotted grouper and Ken got
excited by this target.
Later we transferred to the jigging point
near Iki island, but the wind and the wave was so strong and the bolt jolts
very bad.
Due to the lack of sleep, Both Yuko and Ken
felt sea sick.
Especially Yuko felts nausea but she
repeated the jerking again and again.
She is the iron woman.
After all we could not catch King fish or
Yellow tail because of the slow tide and strong wind.
We returned to the shallow point with
nausea.
We challenged the “micro jigging” with Ultra
light tackle, which is lighter than the light tackle.
The PE was Momoi Ryujin (Japanese No.0.6)
and the Leader was Momoi Hi-catch
Fluorocarbon Neo pink.
Also we used the microflip 35g from Gear-lab.
With the slow jigging feeling the sea
bottom, Yoshi hit the target.
It was big red spotted grouper.
After that Yuko felt a bite. She lifted the
fish to the sea with bending the rod but the fish escaped without landing net.
She was shocked by releasing the good Sea bass.
But she hit again and got the small red sea
bream. No matter how big the fish is, all of us got the souvenir.
Later, Yoshi got red sea bream and Ken got Sea
bass, puffer fish, rock fish and red sea bream. Although we could not get the
big ones but we played with many kinds of fish.
Our fishing friend got and gave us the
flounder.
It was very interesting to play with the fish
by microjigging using fine size PE.
We are sure it will be the new trend of
fishing.
We finished this trip by eating roasted local
chicken.
We thank for the fun fishing day and the rich
sea.
