2018年７月７，８日ハゼクラ初のダブルヒット | July 7-8, 2018: My First-Ever Double Hit in Hazekura Fishing

どうも、梅雨開け後の中、今週もいってまいりました
ハゼクラへで、今日は初の

ダブルヒット！！ハゼ一荷

ダブルヒットでございます、なかなかに興奮してしまいました。いやー嬉しいうれしい

昨日は天候は雨のあとで風も強く夕方から出撃すると魚の反応はいいものの
まずはチチブの２連発から

クランクで２連発はめずらしいですチチブさんは、お目々がクリクリですごく可愛いです

ここからメタニウムDCと自作ハゼクラロッドの相性を見るために想定した下限重量の０．５ｇスプーンを投入

スプーンでもチチブ二連発です（笑）

自作のハゼクラロッド、いい具合に柔らかいので軽いルアーが良くとびます。メタニウムDCとの相性もいいです１号のよつあみのPEで0.5gがなげれます、オートモードでバックラッシュしません！凄いリールです、シマノ最高峰のアンタレスDCが気になってしかたがないです、でも丸型が好きなのでシマノさんぜひカルカッタコンクエストDC復活してください。

で今日ですが、最初の通りの二匹がけがありの

最後は15cmのヒネハゼを仕留めて終了です、今日はトレモのIWASHIN　SP４しか使ってませんこのカラーも良く釣れますねハゼがワラワラと集まってきます

トレモはやっぱり強いですね

それでは

Hey everyone, with the rainy season over, I went out fishing again this week.
For some hazekura (goby crankbaiting), and today, for the first time ever...

A double hit!! Two gobies on one line.

That's right, a double hit. I got pretty excited. Man, what a great feeling.

Yesterday, the weather was windy after some rain. I headed out in the evening, and while the fish were biting,
it started with two chameleon gobies in a row.

Catching two chameleon gobies in a row on a crankbait is pretty rare. They have such big, round eyes; they're really cute.

From here, to test the compatibility of my Metanium DC reel and my custom-made hazekura rod, I put on a 0.5g spoon—the lightest weight I planned to test.

Another two chameleon gobies in a row, this time on a spoon (lol).

My custom hazekura rod has a nice soft action, so it casts light lures really well. It's a great match for the Metanium DC. I can cast a 0.5g lure with a #1 Yotsuba PE line, and it doesn't backlash on auto mode! What an amazing reel. Now I can't stop thinking about Shimano's top-of-the-line Antares DC. But I'm a fan of round reels, so Shimano, please bring back the Calcutta Conquest DC.

Anyway, back to today. Like I said at the beginning, I had that double hook-up,

and I finished the day by landing a 15cm 'hinehaze' (an older, larger goby). Today, I only used the Tremo IWASHIN SP4. This color is a real winner, too; the gobies just swarm it.

The Tremo is as killer as ever.

Well, that's it for now.

2018年6月30日,7月1日 怪魚系ロッドでもハゼクラ | June 30 & July 1, 2018: Goby Cranking with a Rod for Monster Fish

どうも早々と梅雨が開けてしまいました、もう暑すぎですね。
相変わらずのハゼクラですが、こんなロッドを買ってしまいました

トーマンの絵が素敵なHUERCOのパックロッド

みてのとおりの怪魚ツアー向けの6.10ftとやや長めの4ピースロッドです

買った目的マゴチ、ライトジギング＆バス用ですね、まぁハゼクラは無理かなぁって感じですが、使いますよハゼに（笑）

6月3０日（土）にいつもの場所にGOです
もう暑い暑いおまけに強風です、ハゼの活性はよくクランクをめちゃくちゃ追ってきます
しかし小さいデキくんはすぐバレてしまいます。でトレモの早引きの反応がすごくいい、一度バレてもまた食いつくいい反応をします。これがわかってから釣れ始めました

適正ウエイト10gから60gのヘビーロッドでも釣れますよ

12cmのヒネハゼ

このくらいのサイズになると引きも楽しめます、結論としてはハゼクラに使えるｗ

まぁこんな馬鹿なタックルバランス（怪魚ロッド＋メタニウムDCにPE1号）でハゼクラやるのは多分日本にいても数人ではないですかね、感想は釣れるし軽量ルアーも飛ぶのでびっくりですが、まぁ振り続けるには体力がいりますね

翌日はヘビーロッドは振り続けると疲れてしまいますのでロッドは軽めにして釣行です

前日につづき暑い＆強風なので夕方から出動です

今季最高の15cmのヒネハゼ

もう活性は高い高い、クランクベイトに反応すごいですスプーンも投げましたがクランクの速引きがいいです、もうトレモ　IWASHIN　SP３がすごくいい！！このルアーばかりで釣ってます。

スプーンは活性が中活性から低活性のときは良いですが、高活性のときはもうクランクベイトの勝ちです、あとは暑すぎると人間が低活性になってしまうのでそのほうが問題ですねそれでは

The rainy season ended surprisingly early, and it's already way too hot.
I'm still doing my usual goby cranking, and I ended up buying this rod.

It's a HUERCO pack rod with a cool illustration of a Toman (Giant Snakehead).

As you can see, it's a 4-piece rod, a bit long at 6'10", designed for monster fish expeditions.

I bought it for flathead, light jigging, and bass. I figured it would be impossible for goby cranking, but I'm going to use it for gobies anyway (lol).

On Saturday, June 30th, I went to my usual spot.
It was incredibly hot, and on top of that, very windy. The gobies were super active and chased the crankbait like crazy.
However, the small young ones would get off the hook easily. But I found that a fast retrieve with the Tremo lure got a great response; even if one got off, it would bite again. Once I figured this out, I started catching them.

You can catch them even with a heavy rod rated for 10g to 60g lures.

A 12cm mature goby.

At this size, the fight is fun too. The conclusion is, it's usable for goby cranking lol.

I doubt there are many people in Japan goby cranking with such a ridiculously unbalanced setup (a monster fish rod + Metanium DC with #1 PE line). My impression? I was surprised I could catch fish and cast lightweight lures with it, but you definitely need stamina to keep it up.

The next day, I went fishing with a lighter rod since casting the heavy one continuously gets tiring.

Just like the previous day, it was hot and windy, so I headed out in the evening.

The best of the season, a 15cm mature goby.

Their activity level was super high, and the reaction to the crankbait was amazing. I tried spoons too, but a fast retrieve with a crankbait was best. The Tremo IWASHIN SP3 is fantastic!! I've been catching them almost exclusively with this lure.

Spoons are good when the fish are moderately to less active, but when they're highly active, crankbaits are the clear winner. The bigger problem is that my own activity level drops when it gets too hot. Well then, that's all for now.
