MEMO
 It was fine and hot. It was strong sunlight. I have left my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" by my fishing boat at 9:30 AM. The sea was calm. I left for off Hota in the condition of a fresh north-east wind. The colour of the sea was a muddy from Takeoka to Kanaya but clear off Hota. First I aimed Inada there by bait until noon after casting the anchor at the place around rocky region of about 24m depth. But I got no fish because of no current. Afternoon, I also aimed Inada after moving to off Kanaya but no Inada. I got a little Sodagatuo and Kawahagi. So, I gave up Inada and was going back.However,I saw a large crowd of sea gull in front of my home port "Harbor Tsuhama" . I cast the Hopper lure which I had ready in my boat and retrieved very fast, so I could see Saba which run after the lure. I could hit Saba when the speed of lure became slow near my boat. I went back to my home port after I also got another one by same method.It was my first experience that I fish by Hopper lure, and I had interested in lure fishing. It is best season for blue skin from now to late autumn, so I will fish by lure if I will discover a large crowd of sea gull.
