At low tide and high tide


It looked like bream were on their hunting mission again during the first phase of incoming tide much like the last weekend. I picked up a few yesterday and this morning including a couple of nice fish.

先週末に続けて、クロダイの反応は、干潮から上げ潮に変わってからの2時間位が良く、釣れた魚も平均して良いサイズでした。その後、ある程度潮が入って来て水位が上がるとアタリはパッタリと無くなりました。


This one pulled a line hard. Two more turns would put me into the bucking.







I then joined my friend for the afternoon fishing today. We got there around 4:30, and the tide was much higher than I expected, and it was still coming in.

There were a lot of fish in the area, and we were getting many hits until the tide started to slow down eventually around 6:00. Compared to my morning session, most of fish were small though. My friend picked up a couple of OK size, but others were just over 20cm or so.

It was interesting that, my green coloured streamer, which has been working very well in the morning for the past 3 weekends, did not produce much this afternoon. My friend was getting fish constantly, but I was struggling to get connection. I took the fly off, and changed to dark brown one. It then took me only two cast to hook up fish in the same area where I was casting before. This reminds me again that the colour of flies is important for bream.

午後は釣りに行く気は無かったのですが、友達が行くと言うので、4時過ぎからちょっと出かけました。満潮辺りの水位は稀に見る量で、岸から十歩程度で腰まで浸かる深さ。釣れる気はまったくしなかったのですが、魚の反応は意外にも多く、六時頃になって潮の流れが遅くなるまでコンスタントにアタリがありました。ただ釣れて来る魚は、朝の釣りよりもずっと小さく、アベレージで20cm位。

おもしろいと思った事は、朝はあれだけ高反応だった薄緑色のフライは駄目で、茶色の毛針に変えた途端にアタリの連続。この釣りでは、やっぱりフライの色は重要だと再認識させられる午後でした。


Water was high. Only 10 steps got us into waist deep
