Wakasagi Smelt fishing the best season in winter

Today, Lily talking about Wakasagi Turi.

In winter season, smelt (small fish)
http://tinyurl.com/7yy998d
is going to be top season for fishing in Japan.

Mainly, we do smelt fishing at the lake.
Even if the water of lake is frozen,
we make hole and fish smelt with small tackles.

So, smelt fishing is the fighting with cold weather.
We must keep warm otherwise we catch the cold...

This is example.

But, nowadays we do not have to feel cold
when we do Smelt fishing "Wakasagi Tsuri" in Japan.

Wakasagi Boat on Yamanaka lake is the latest style
using solar electric power.
You can feel warm and fish smelt "in" the boat.

Check out the wakasagi tsuri style in Japan

*Sorry it is in Japanese but you can see pics.

Since it is very comfortable on the boat,
small kidz and old people are enjoy wakasagi fishing.

Also wakasagi is very small, fishing rod and
reel is very small. Please check below blog
which I wrote last winter about wakasagi electric
reel like PC mouse.

Smelt is very good for Tempura (battered and deep-frie)!
I love eating Wakasagi Tempura with salt.

Biwa Lake Biggest lake in Japan

Hi! today, Lily sends you newsletter to you!

Yesterday, I met with my old friend who likes bass fishing.
He goes to Biwa lake for bass fishing every weekend.
He tought me the problem of bass fishing in biwa lake.

Biwa lake is the largest lake in Japan.

Now, Biwa lake is known as major bass fishing point in Japan.

大きな地図で見る



Original bass is alien species in Japan.

Freshwater trout, Crucian carp, Carp, Catfish and etc originally live
there.

Someone discharged bass fish to Biwa lake and the number of bass bigger
and bigger, as bass is larger and much stronger than Biwa lake's local
fish and eat them up.

Local people want to protect original nature of Biwa lake and work hard
to protect it and do hard expulsion of bass. In Local law, if you catch
bass, releasing is prohibited and must take it to the bass clean box
which settled many places around Biwa lake.

But most of bass fisher do not do that. According to them, they do not
want expulsion the bass and simply annoying to take it to the bass clean box.

Moreover, much bigger sized bass is seemed to be discharged. My friend
says bigger sized bass is easily caught recently.

Now Bass fishing is major sports and give many profit to the people who
work around Biwa lake, fishing shop, restaurant, hotels and so on. On
the other hand, we must protect the nature. It is difficult problem for
us.

In your country, is there problem like this?



Below map shows where bass clean boxes settled

Lily send -Hairtail fish season-

Today, Lily send this mail to Tackle-Umi's customers.

**Hairtail fish season in Japan

Setonai-ocean, the west Japan sea, Hairtail fish
(Tachi-uo) is now becoming the best season for fishing.

Hairtail fishing is not deep, so it is easy to catch.
Even women and older people can easily catch them
because it need not so much power.

However, Hairtail jigging needs technique.
The color of jig, size, and range, you have to
choose right tackle carefully otherwise you can
not catch Hairtail.

In other words, if you can choose right tackle,
you can catch many Hairtail whle other anglers can
not catch Hairtail at all.

But be careful, Hairtail has very sharp teeth
and they bite you even if you put in the cooler.
So, you have to use fishing scissors to hold
them to protect your hands and fingers.

You can watch Hairtail fishing at Shimano TV
(Sorry it is only in Japanese) with below address.
http://tv.shimano.co.jp/movie/tv/daichang_68/

You can realise Japanese Hairtail is very beautiful,
It is really looks like the Japanese Sword = Katana.
In Japanese, Hairtail mean sword fish.
http://tinyurl.com/7oqrg6m

The taste of Hairtail is also very good!

I think Hairtail is the best fish to eat for me
among many delicious fishes in Japan.

I like to eat it just grilled in the oven and
add soy source on it, and eat with steamed rice.
It is best combination dish for me!!

Please try Hairtail fishing and Hairtail dish
when you come to Japan, in Autumn and winter season!!

my memory of fishing sardines

How are you?

When I was a child, I used to live at countryside.
I often went to fishing to the sea.

I caught many small fishes.
In particular , I liked catching sardines and mackerels at
winter season.

There were so many sardines and mackerels at that time.

As soon as I put the line in the sea, within a few seconds,
I could catch many sardines like this picture!!!

http://bit.ly/sDajh2

It is my good and enjoyable memory!

But nowadays,
we can not catch many sardines and mackerels.
(because of mass capture and global warming?)

I hope many sardines and mackerels come back to
our sea after marine environment is improved!


How about your country?

Can you catch many fishes compare to 20years ago?


Thank you for reading.

I received many e-mails from readers.

Thank you so much!

Enjoy fishing!


P.S.

I introduce today's Japanese character :Kanji.

This Kanji is sardine!
