Squid season is here again!!!! Hurray...

These few days, squids are coming back again. Water is perfect and the habitat underwater is getting better. Seaweeds have grown back. And no more further explanation needed since picture says a thousand words....

Good catch on bad season....

Water condition is still not that perfect. It has been days that I got only 2 or 3 squids. Today, I decided to go early at around 3 PM to start with fishing for some selars. Got quite good size selars days before.

My wife and friend start with fishing for selars. As for me, which is not that much of a fish guy, I went for squid instead although it's still too hot and bright.

My intention to fish at bright day is to test my Yamashita Natural Color series. Because squidding during night time didn't produce any good strike. Yamashita natural color series don't have any glittering skin or bright color. It tends to be darker and I judge that it's not that good to use it at night compared to day time. And as I thought, it produced 4 squids in less than 1 hour (note. 4 is good amounts due to recent bad water condition).

Later when it got darker, I choose to use Yamashita Egi oh Q Soku gold. Its white belly will turn to gold color when it touches water...amazingly beautiful. I highly recommend this one. It produced 6 strikes in less than 1 hour. Some emerged squid charges to the egi directly without testing it first with its tentacles. Very very good stuff. Happy enough, and because some groups of company having a dinner gathering, and the smell of food made worms in my stomach active, I decided to go back for big seafood meal at Nagoya.
