Fishing methods
Lure casting
Casting covers water with a lure selected for the depth, baitfish and target.
Vertical jigging
Metal jigs are worked below a boat through the depth occupied by predators.
Shore jigging
Metal jigs search different depths for passing predatory fish. Open casting space and a planned landing point are essential.

Detailed Japanese species notes
黄色い帯のある細長い体で、上あご後端の角が丸くなります。ブリと似るため、胸びれと腹びれの長さや体の厚みも合わせて確認します。
大型魚の突進で転倒しない足場を確保。磯の単独釣行を避け、ギャフやタモの取り込みは経験者に任せる。
