世界中のラッキークラフトファンの皆さま～！Daily Flash Minnow Weekly Reportになります！
サーフから2週連続でヒラメを釣り上げたので、今回はボート釣りに向かい、今年初のボート釣り！Ｓｃｕｌｐｉｎフィッシュ・サンドバスを狙うためにニューポートビーチ（Newport Landing）から出港した。
この日は風が強く乗船数40人と多かったが、船酔いをする人が多くスペースに余裕がある状態で釣行ができた。約45分の移動でポイント到着後、すぐさまロッドに当りが！！思いっきり合わせてみると13インチの鬼カサゴをＧＥＴ！半年前に新規購入したロッドとリールが大活躍！その後、次々と連発爆釣状態で合計小さいのと合わせて9匹！！
本日の釣り方は、160ftまで一旦オモリを落し込んで待つというのがキャプテンからアドバイスでしたが、あえて僕はボトムまで落とし込むが、ボトムから約50cmの所まで引き上げ、船の揺れに関係なく常にラインテンションを張ったままの状態で当りを待つことにした結果が、本日の釣果を上げた事につながったと思われる。
終盤ポイント移動でサンドバス狙い、水深15ｍと所でシェルスピンを使用！ここでは、ジャックポットを賭けた大物ねらいとの事で気合い十分で待つことに、5分後に他のお客がサンドバスを釣り上げ、すぐに終了！約10分の勝負・・・あまりにも短すぎる釣行時間。しかし、他のお客さんが釣果が伸びない中、９匹も釣り上げたので結果、大満足です。
シェルスピンの重いのができればな～！

P.S. お刺身にして食べました
Since I was able to catch some Flounders 2 weeks in a row, this time I went boat fishing. It was my very first boat fishing this year! I departed from Newport Beach (Newport Beach Landing) to catch some Sculpin Fish and Sandbass.
There were about 40 people on the boat with quite a few people, but because of the strong winds that day, a lot of people were getting sea-sick so I actually had a lot of space to fish. It took about 45 minutes to the fishing spot, and once I started fishing, I immediately felt a hit on my rod!! It was a 13 inch Scorpaenopsis! The rod and reel I had purchased half a year ago was doing great! Afterwards I kept catching more, and from adding the small ones also, I caught 9 fishes!!
My fishing technique that day was to drop the fishing weight to 160ft and to just wait, which was actually the captain’s advice to me. But I decided to drop it all the way down to the bottom and then lifted it about 50cm. Disregarding the swaying of the boat, I kept the line tension stretched tight and waited for a hit. I believe that was the reason I was able to catch a lot that day.
We then moved to our final destination to aim for some Sandbass. I used the Shell Spin and dropped it to 15m in depth. Here there was a bet going on to who can catch the first fish for the Jackpot! I got fired up and waited for a hit. After 5min a different fisherman caught a Sandbass and the bet was over! A 10 minute competition… what a short fishing time. However, out of everyone else not being able to catch much, I caught 9, so in result I’m very satisfied!
If only there was a heavier Shell Spin lure~!

P.S. I made my fishes into Sashimi and ate it.
