Boat fishing for Japanese whiting
船キス
Light bottom rigs cover sandy seabeds. Keeping track of the sinker makes small bites easier to recognise.
Tackle and preparation
Use the sinker weight and trace length specified by the skipper; bring spare small hooks and bait.
On the water
- Lower to bottom and recover slack.
- Move the bait a little and pause.
- Lift smoothly into a bite, then retrieve without excessive speed.
