MEMO
It was fine and a little cold. I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat at 9:00 AM. I went to the sea off Kanaya in the condition of a weak north wind. The colour of the sea was very clear. First, I began fishing after casting a anchor off Kanaya where was the place at the last point of Tai. But I moved to the sea off Iwai to aim Isaki in the afternoon because of no hit there. I began fishing after casting a anchor at the point around the rocks off Iwai. Bera instantly stool the bait near the bottom of sea. So I tempted the fish by going up my rod from 3m to 5m over the bottom and then I could catch Isaki. I caught the strong signal when I tempted the fish by going up my rod near the bottom and could get a big Ishidai here by overcoming the strong fight. I couldn't catch the fish if I had not tempted the fish by going up the rod, because the tide didn't stream. And I couldn't catch the signal from fish at the upper layer because fish was not active.

PS: Sashimi of Ishidai was very delicious.

Point

We catch the signal from fish only near the bottom when fish is not active and fish dose not move to upper layer.
Tempting a fish is necessary to get a fish when the tide don't stream.
