Fishing methods
Chinning — seabream lure fishing
Small bottom lures and surface lures target black and yellowfin seabream.
Uki — float fishing
A float shows bites while suspending the bait at a chosen depth. Adjusting the float stop changes the feeding layer.
Fukase — drift float fishing
A lightly weighted bait drifts with a small stream of groundbait. The aim is to keep the hook bait moving naturally at the feeding depth.

クロダイに似た銀灰色の体ですが、腹びれ・尻びれ・尾びれの一部が黄色いのが目印。標準和名はキチヌです。色には個体差があるため鱗や体形も確認します。
背びれの棘と歯に注意し、口へ指を入れません。河口では増水と潮位変化を確認し、食用にする魚は採捕場所の水質情報も確認します。
