MEMO
It was fine and a little hot. I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat at 9:30 AM. I went to the sea off Hota coast in the condition of a comfortable north wind. The colour of the sea was muddy around Kanaya but clear aroud Hota. I began fishing after casting a anchor off Hota where was almost same place at the point of Inada on last year vol.9. There was scattered with the small rocky region on the sand. The depth was about 24 m. The depth was changing +1m to -1m because of a movement of my boat by the wind and sea stream. The tide from north to south was very fast. I could get a first Saba here at the third try, after that, Saba had a bite at every cast of the line(It seemed to me that there was big group of Saba around here). I could bit by bit catch Wakashi and Hanadai with Saba. I could catch the fishes without geting tired of fishing untill stop-fishing. Also I caught a Hanadai when the tide stream became slow. I felt the season of a blue-skinned fish come.

PS : I kept 5 large size Saba. The raw fish with vinegar and boiled fish with soy sauce of Saba was very delicious.

: I have hoped to get a blue-skinned fish such as Inada on next weekend(9/13 to 9/15), but I could not go out the sea because of No.19th typhoon. I am writing this VOL.14 against my will. It cannot be helped about typhoon in this season. I will hope next weekend.
