From December to January, Seabass in Tokyo Bay feeds tons of baitfish for their spawning. Futtsu area, Chiba prefecture is the most famous feeding spot in Tokyo Bay. Taka and I went there on December 09, 2009 to get monster seabass. |

I really love this game but I have been feeling that I could have been able to catch more dolphins at my trip. “How can I improve my skill?” Talking to myself, I looked at my tackle box and I realized one simple thing. It is funny. I have been using only 4 lures!! This time, I would like to write my lure rotation and my next step to catch more fish. |

Casting dolphin fishing is one of the most popular summer time fishing in Japan. Using spinning tackle, it is definitely an exciting game. I’ve heard dolphin is fished by trolling in other countries, but it is not popular in Japan. We do casting!! |

One day, I received an inquiry about seabass fishing guide. He has been in Tokyo for a week and has wished to try Tokyo Bay inshore seabass fishing.

Blue Life, a kayak fishing group, is planning to plant eelgrass in the seaside park in their neighborhood. There used be a huge industry, and had been polluted by waste water. 3 years ago, the industry pulled out of the area, and Ota City built this Furuhama seaside park. Blue Life thinks that planting eelgrass seeds is the only one way what they can do to purify the water.

Have you ever heard “eelgrass”? Many anglers might have heard about it. In Tokyo Bay, more than 80% of eelgrass bed was destroyed after the World War II by industrial development. Most coast line was landfilled to expand industrial fields, and eelgrass bed was buried. |

What would you if you wake up early in the morning of business days. It seems that reading a newspaper, drinking coffee and having a breakfast are the best way to spend morning.

Tokyo is the biggest city in Japan and has almost everything there. But it is hard to imagine we can catch GT with just 3 hours trip from Tokyo. If you have free weekend, we recommend you to try GT fishing!! What kind of GT fishing field do you imagine? Big and strong fish? Blue coral reef? Yes. Okinawa has everything and very near to Tokyo. |
