Aji Fishing Plan

MaruMatsu Fishing Service

Golden Aji Entertains
From beginners to well skilled anglars

Aji, Japanese horse mackerel, has long time been one of the most popular fish for Japanese seafood cuisine with its great taste and wide range of cooking, like Sushi, Sashimi, grilled, soup and fried.

Also as a fishing target, Aji has been very popular in Tokyo-Bay area, where is surrounded by Tokyo, Yokohama. The wild jerk of Aji(the size varies from 20cm to over 40cm) hooked entertains everyone from beginners to well experienced anglers. What makes good angler in Aji fishing is the skill to place the bait at a desired depth. (the technique is called Tana-Tori in Japanese).
 
Basically the fish gather around the depth of 2-3 meters(6-10 feet) from the bottom and you need to place the hook there considering the tide and other conditions.
This sounds simple and easy. But it's actually more interesting than it sounds, which is one of the reasons why Japanese people loves Aji fishing.

Sunset Black Rockfish Fishing (July and Aug)

MaruMatsu Fishing Service

In the hot summer season, this night fishing excursion is popular among local anglers. The target fish, Mebaru, Black Rockfish, is known to be active from evening. We use light weighted rods and tackles which make the jerk of fish powerful to enjoy.

Of course Mebaru is good for cooking in grills, soup or fries. Kasago, another kind of rockfish that can be caught in this fishing, is also tasty. Both have white meat and go well with any type of cooking.

How about escaping from the summer sun and spending the evening on our boat fishing in Tokyo-bay.
