10/16 釣果

 The result of fishing on World Food Day.

Though I was unsure that there would be Japanese barracuda, I prepared its device just in case. However, I caught three with a horse mackerel device. Afterwards, I used a Japanese barracuda device but didn't get another one.

I expected horse mackerel but caught only Decapterus muroadsis (ムロアジ). Maybe small Japanese amberjack (ツバイソ) bit the hook, but I couldn't fish up.

10/1 釣果

 The result of fishing on International Day of Older Persons.

I was careless. I naturally believed that Japanese barracudas must be gone, so I didn't have specialized devices for them. I caught them by horse mackerel's device. I tried to catch rockfish, but globefishes seemed very active at the usual point.

9/17 釣果

 The result of fishing on Constitution Day (United States).

I took only bigger ones and released smaller ones. In the beginning, I used lures but couldn't catch them. Then, I changed the device to the usual sabiki with eight hooks. Two hooks remained eventually.

9/13 釣果

 The result of fishing on World Law Day.

I took a paid leave for fishing because I was worried I could catch Japanese barracuda again. Last year, 12 Sep. was the last day of seeing them.

Also, I expected sillago, but there were damnable globefishes all around, instead. They cut hooks from devices with their teeth.

Japanese barracudas cut them too, and when all the hooks were gone, I stopped fishing.

9/4 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Comb day.

I caught about ten to twenty Japanese barracudas, then moved to the rockfish point. I caught Hong Kong groupers and scorpionfishes by Japanese barracudas cut into pieces with scissors. Seemingly, I could fish more, but I restrained. I don't think I can influence the sustainability of the sea, but I moved to the next target, sillago, anyway.

I caught one sillago by a fake worm. I was satisfied I got the information that there must be a certain number of sillagos.

Then, I resumed fishing Japanese barracudas and filled up my cooler with them, and went home.

8/13 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Left-Handers Day.

I couldn't catch so many horse mackerels nor Japanese barracudas. I am glad to fish Hong Kong groupers as ever. If I had taken more time, I would have caught more fish, but this result is satisfactory enough.
I stopped fishing at 7 am before it would be too hot.

8/6 釣果

 The result of fishing on Hiroshima Peace Memorial Day.

Hong Kong groupers came along with Japanese barracudas. I found a small squid in the mouth of a Hong Kong grouper. It was not a firefly squid, of course. I was a bit surprised that there were squids that could be the baits for fishes. I have been thinking Hong Kong groupers baits small horse mackerels or crabs or shrimps.

7/31 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Paragliding Anniversary.

I was supposed to catch more horse mackerel, but I lost my fishing devices by hooking on something in the sea.

I bought artificial worms and tried to fish sillago for a short time, but they were still not there. 

It was too hot, and 8 am was the limit.

7/17 釣果

 The result of fishing on Independence Day of the Slovak Republic.

Horse mackerels have come back. Perhaps, the absence of fish the last time relates to the lack of rain in this rainy season. Recent sporadic heavy rain is the proof, I think.

I used all firefly squids for small scorpionfishes and globefishes, so I used horse mackerel fillets instead. It was a good idea. I caught the biggest scorpionfish by that. I don't need to buy firefly squid for a while.

There is no sillago as ever.

7/3 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Shichimi day.

It is a mystery that there are such few fish. Peculiarly, the result of horse mackerel is abnormal. Usually, I must catch over ten of them at least.

What is going on?

7/2 釣果

The result of fishing on a Tawashi day.

Nothing. Literally zero. I didn't try to catch horse mackerel, and my aim was sillago. There was no single bite.

The condition of waves and wind was the best, but the result was the worst.

6/26 釣果

The result of fishing on an International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.

From the beginning, the wind blew a bit strong, and there was no sign of abating. The direction became due west, and it was not a good sign. Local anglers, including my father, say the west wind is not good, so I stopped fishing. 

It would be rare that I caught only Decapterus muroadsis.

6/18 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Migration Abroad Day.

A pleasant surprise. I didn't expect big horse mackerels at all. The movement of the tide was slight, so it seemed that sillagos were not very active.

Actually, it was the same as last time, I caught two Japanese ivory shells.

6/11 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Kamehameha Day.

Horse mackerels became smaller as regularly. I felt like I caught trepang every year, but it was May 2019 that I saw it last time.

Unexpectedly, I caught a certain number of sillagos.

5/21 釣果

The result of fishing on a World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.

It was almost as expected. To my delight, the flounder and バイ貝 (Japanese ivory shell) were unexpected.

島根、鳥取

The thirty-eighth prefecture is Shimane, and the thirty-ninth is Tottori. This year is the anniversary of my father's 88 years old (in the traditional Japanese way of count) and my 25 years of continuous service in my company. 

Luckily the two events happened in the same year. My company union gives its members, who have been the union member for 25 years, a gift of 100,000 yen for a trip, and I accept that, of course.

This three-day/two-night trip is a gift to my father from his sons.

The first day's activity was almost only a travelling.

We visited Izumo Taisha Shrine and the Adachi Museum of Art on the second day.

We, brothers, didn't donate nor pray, but my father did as people usually do.

The Adachi Museum of Art was fantastic.

On the last day, we went to see the Tottori sand dunes.

(Mr Grammarly, I totally agree with you that 'sand' is superfluous.)

5/6 釣果

The result of fishing on an International No Diet Day.

Somewhat it was unusual. Usually, I can catch horse mackerel many, at least over ten. And also, usually, my boat is swept offshore in the morning, but it was swept ashore today. For that reason, I couldn't place my boat as my wants.

I tried to fish scorpionfish at other places, but I caught these scorpionfishes nowhere else but the usual place.

5/3 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Constitution Memorial Day.

I was supposed to be on the sea before sunrise, but I was late. So, I caught only three horse mackerels as above. Moreover, it happened several times that hooked fish came off. It was strange because I used the usual device. What's wrong with it?

I caught a big greenling! I didn't recognise it as a greenling when it came up from the sea because the colour was too black.

鹿児島（奄美大島）

The thirty-seventh prefecture is Kagoshima. I visited Amami-Oshima, the largest island of Kagoshima, not the mainland, for business.

It was warm as a matter of course. We ate sashimi and other mainly local foods. Fried chickens were delicious, but the sashimi was so-so.

みなとや(minatoya), the popular restaurant of 鶏飯(keihan), has been temporarily closed for the sake of coronavirus. We ate it at the other diner near the minatoya. It was like お茶漬け, and good as expected.
