Business & Fishing Road Trip Part 2: Western Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka
Camper vehicle shop owner joined me late in the carpark I lodged for a night And he was also driving VW T4 Camper Van with great tips on how and what to take care of VW cars in general.
Next morning we held business meeting on my campervan office with cuppa Kona Coffee. He was very impressed with enevu LED product and Outwell camping product, so the meeting was very successful with purchase order to follow.
Weather turned stormy, so he took off before lunch time and I pushed onto scout old coastal spot I has fun with Lefty Hama years ago.
Nishina Beach at the end of River Nishina, always a promising spot with some fish in the water. Since I confirmed school of small size big-eye trevally are ashore,
I took my 8wt outfit with streamer.
I spotted wakes of some school moving under, but no sign of predator boiling on surface. I cast EP Minnow for 15 minutes with short bites without any sign of big predator swallowing it as a whole. Fish must be smaller than I thought, so I switched the fly to Mikura Candy then...
Fish turned out to be migrating big-eye trevally in not bad size around here.
Trevally after trevally.
But the largest fish was this just 20cm fish.
I stayed after the school of trevally were gone, but still no sign of blackfin seabass. I took a bath at nearby onsen and waited for a while, but one customer called me for damaged product replacement. So I cut the trip and went back to Tokyo. Perhaps, it's not good season for adult blackfin seabass to come ashore.
