Off the coast of Kihoku, Mie Prefecture, we aimed to catch a good-sized squid. The fishing advisor was Hirose Tatsuki of Major Craft.
The fishing method was tip-run egging. Using a special tackle, we mainly used egging lures on the bottom. From winter to spring, it's the season to catch large squids of 1kg to 2kg. At this time of year, the bites are delicate and few, but when they do come, they are big, which is what makes it appealing, so many anglers try it.
As expected, there were almost no bites that day, and the four anglers struggled. Six hours had passed since the start of fishing. None of the anglers had a clear bite, and just as they were starting to wonder if it was going to end like this, Hirose-san got a bite on the tip of his rod. He immediately set the hook and the rod bent. It was the pull of a squid, and a kilo-class squid came up. Soon after, the supporter's rod bent. This was also a pull of a kilo-class squid, and it was a good feeling, and the time had finally come.
The program will provide detailed explanations of the tackle you need and the key points of fishing.
