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 and Chiba. 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).
 
To catch the fish, the key action is "adjustment". Basically, the fishes gather around the depth of 2-3 meters(6-10 feets) from the bottom and you need to place the hook there considering the tide and other conditions.
This sounds simple and easy, but playing is not. That's one of the reason why Japanese people liked this fishing.
