MEMO
　It was cloudy and cold. I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat at 9:30 AM. The last stormy sea was calm down. I went to the sea off Hota in the condition of a cold north wind. The colour of the sea was muddy off Hota but clear off Kanaya. First I aimed Amadai off Hota. I drifted around the sandy and muddy region of depth 60m to 80m by parachute anchor. My boat moved slowly from 60m to 80m. I hit Tragisu as soon as the tackle arrived at the bottom. So I got Amadai at odd moments. I returned to off Kanaya in the afternoon and began fishing for Aji after casting anchor at the point in the front of ferry port of Kanaya. The sea water was muddy and warm because of last storm. I got Big Aji and Mebaru by turns. It was very lucky that I got the big Aji around this shallow region in the cold season. Because of last big storm?
