MEMO
It was mild north wind and fine before a rainy season. It was good condition . I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat. The colour of sea was slightly muddy. Aji's migration to the shallow place is late in this year. But I expected a good result in the day and went to the place off Kanaya in Chiba prefecture. About 30 professional fishing boat including Tokyo's and Kanagawa's boat were fishing to aim at Kurodai. I cast a anchor of my boat at a point of same area and started fishing to aim at Aji. It was very fast tide from north to south though it was neap tide in that day. So the tide was not good for fishing. But I could catch 11 Ajies by searching the layer of Ajies in detail and tempting fishes. I caught a Kurodai near the bottom. I could catch the fishes without getting tired of fishing until stop-fishing. To Summer from now on, it will become good season for Aji and also for Hanadai, Akaika and Aoriika.

Point

The point of fishing Aji is to search the layer of Aji from near the bottom to 7m over the bottom in detail and to tempt fishes by going up and down the rod.
