This is the Daily Flash Minnow Weekly Report! I want to apologize for not being able to post up a fishing report last week. But this week I will like to share my reports with much more effort!!
I again visited Newport Beach for this fishing trip. I arrived at 9am with high tide and at about 3pm with low tide. So in the morning, I mainly used the Flash Minnow 110 & 130MR and aimed at 1m from the surface! I concentrated on casting in open water in kelp bed areas and aimed for some Perch and Calico Bass! Just one time, a fish came chasing after the lure, but I was too slow at reacting, I let it get away… When I can’t see the fish and feel a hit I can react to it right after, but when I can actually see the fish coming, I tend to panic! Mortified… I’ve let my very first fish of this year get away.
In the afternoon I used the Wander (In whitish color with center plates), Flash Minnow SSR (Ghost Iwashi color) and others. I let it slowing sway on the surface and aimed the surface again. I full casted to the inland ocean side where there are ships from the harbor passing by (I chose this area because where ships pass by it is deeply gouged and from the ships passing all the baits wind-up together and concentrates in that area). ……it is too strict. I can’t fish… What should I do…

Next week I will go somewhere else!! And the week after that it will be just like the tide condition today so I will see if I can go to Malaga Cove (Palos Verdes)!!

P.S. The Wander lure I used today! I used a color that is still under development. I can’t really show it, but it is shown somewhere.

Okay then, see you soon!

Skeet’s Beat – SRI #22
Date: 2-6-2011
It took longer than I wanted, but the Lucky Craft / Berkley Big Rig and Stratos Elite 210 is on the way to New Orleans for the Bassmaster Classic.
The last couple of weeks had been pretty stressful because I had a couple of things up in the air last minute and they caused me to wait for the final packing until recently.

This is the Daily Flash Minnow Weekly Report! And this time will be a special report on the Osaka Fishing Show held in Japan. This is a very big convention open to the public and I will like to share a little bit about it! This year’s Lucky Craft booth theme is… the Lucky Sprit!! All the Lucky Craft staff would like to thank all the fishermen all across the world from our very soul, and would want this year’s fishing show to be an amazing experience for everyone. Our booth this year was split enormously into 3 parts! We had displays of 2011 new lures which were very appealing! The floor even had a theme of orange in such a Lucky Craft style, and was in orange color with orange fragrance also! The Lucky Craft booth was like a fancy bakery.  Every year there are more women anglers, so we decided to have a very “cute” look this year.

What is going to happen with the extremely large water tank this year…!?  What new products are going to be announced this year!? Are they going to publicly demonstrate these lures? I am too excited! My expectations this year again is… HUGE!! (Mr. Mitsuo & SHINGO will be there too!)

(I will like to talk a little bit about my upcoming report) There is a section of the booth where we introduce the manufacturing process and displays of lures produced year by year. I can imagine so many of our Lucky Craft fans talking and learning more about our products!

For more information on the venue and location please go to the link below:

See you again soon!

Sandy’s murmur: Since I’m not there at the Fishing Show, even when they were right in the middle of the event, I immediately called Nishiguchi-kun to see what is going on!

Through the phone, it sounded very lively. I have to go next year!!

Looks like Skeet Reese – Skeet Reese Inc. – is bringing some stuff to the Classic that you can only get there. Don’t know if he’s the first or only guy to do it, but regardless, it’s smart. (Posted on www.bassparade.com)

My very first fish caught this year was a Herabuna (hahaha). I’ve gone to a near channel to test out some of our new products and a prototype lures. I’ve tested a lot of them out and this year’s new Lucky Craft lures are going to be very interesting!
I will also be going to the Fishing Show held in Osaka, Japan this weekend! I am looking forward on talking to the Lucky Craft fans in the Kansai region!
Again this year, we will perform some training sessions. My partner, Mr. Tabuchi who has been active in the JP Top 50, is actually not quite a good public speaker (?)… So I may have to properly lead him and hope that it will bring out his inner strength…?
