Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese seabass

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth to find what the fish are responding to on any given day; seabass can be quite finicky.

• For Japanese jack mackerel

  Use a slow, steady retrieve with slight twitches to entice strikes, especially when using soft plastics near the bottom.

• For Japanese pilchard

  Use chum to attract schools of pilchards to your fishing location, increasing your chances of a catch.
