I enjoyed fishing with my grandchildren at a sea fishing pond located near the Naruto Bridge. While I have gone sea fishing before, this was my first time catching fish in a pond like this. The fishing equipment was simple and tailored to the pond, with a hook and bait attached to a rod that had no reel or float. After waiting a few minutes with the bait on the hook submerged in the sea, I felt a pretty strong tug. I caught a big sea bream that was wriggling left and right in the water, shimmering with a sparkling cherry blossom color. It was quite a challenge to pull the bent fishing rod back and put it into the net. My grandchild, who is still in elementary school, couldn’t handle it. Finally, we managed to bring it up to the floor, but it was still jumping around. It was a large sea bream, possibly 30cm long. My grandchildren were overjoyed, and we took some commemorative photos. Within less than an hour, we managed to catch four more similar large sea breams.

鳴門大橋のすぐ近くにある海上釣り堀で孫達と釣りを楽しみました。海釣りはしたことはありますが、こんな釣り堀で魚を釣るのは初めてです。釣具は、タナどりもこの釣り堀に合わせてあって、リールも浮きも付いていない至って簡単なものです。針に餌を巻き付け、釣竿の先を海面に沈めて待つこと数分、かなり強い手応えがあります。釣れました。糸の先にはかなり大きな鯛が海中で左右にもがいています。キラキラと桜色に輝いています。弓形になっている釣竿を引き寄せ、タモ網に入れるまでが大変。まだ小学低学年の孫ではとてもとても手に負えません。やっとの思いで床に上げましたが、跳ね回っています。体長30cmはあろうかと思える大鯛です。孫達は大喜び。早速記念撮影です。こうして１時間足らずの内に、同じ様な大鯛を４匹も釣りました。
