MEMO
　It was fine and warm. I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat at 9:30 AM. The last stormy sea was calm down but the wave motion remained. I went to the sea off Hota in the condition of a fresh north-east wind. The colour of the sea was a little muddy. First I aimed Tai off Hota after casting anchor near the fixed net. The depth was 25m. I did't get any signal from Tai and also got almost no signal from small fish because of the last storm. I moved to off Kanaya after about 2 hours. I aimed Aji off Knaya after casting anchor at the place in front of ferry port. I caught many kinds of fish such as Aji, Mebaru, Kawahagi(Leather fihs), Umazurahagi(like Kawahagi). The best was big Umazurahagi of 42cm. It was record for me.

Point

• After storm, it is not only a good chance but also bad condition for fishing.
