Light Rock Fishing in Japan - Yellow Spotted Rock Cod / Threadfin Trevally

I've recently moved to a new area in Japan, very close to the sea, where I am able to enjoy quick fishing sessions during my lunch break and after work.
Here, I am light rock fishing targeting small groupers and rock fish. The most common fish in this part of Japan is the Yellow Spotted Rock Cod aka Areolate Grouper.
I hope you enjoy this video!

This looks like a beautiful and quiet fishing spot. What part of Japan is this?

Thank you! This is in the Minami-Ise area of Mie Prefecture, it's really quiet and beautiful here, a hidden gem in Japan!

Love your videos! Do you have a Patreon or something like that? It's hard to have good japan fishing content in English and I would like to help. Hope your channel keeps getting bigger and you keep doing amazing videos 🎉

[@hanfishingjp]

Han this place is a dream come true. Just discovered your channel ! I am trying to organize a trip to Japan for October/November. I wanna start from Tokyo and travel down to Kagoshima. I find it hard to find some good cities where I can stop and fish mainly for seabass and light and ultra light fishing. Could you help me out and give out some hints..? Thx in advance , greetings from 🇮🇹

[@hanfishingjp]

Hi, thanks for watching! The fishing and available species differs quite a bit in the different regions of Japan. For Seabass fishing I recommend trying around river mouths. For light and ultra light, most fishing harbors and the surrounding area are pretty good. Local tackle shops would be able to give you the best advice for the area you're in!

[@cespaia]

Thx for the heads up! My YT doesn’t give me notifications…I’ll try like you said . Keep on the good job . Japan rules 🎉

[@hanfishingjp]

Thank you!@@cespaia

[@mushollaalistikharoh]

Goodmorning brother goodjob fishing

[@hanfishingjp]

Thank you!

[@rohp1283]

Hi, do you know what species to target at a particular time of year when fishing inshore ( surf, jettys,piers etc.) in Japan. I have been told that now ( May) the seabass are too small and too few. I usually fish at Inage Beach in Chiba City. Tks

[@hanfishingjp]

Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what species are in season in Chiba as it is a little different down here where I am located in Mie. I usually use this app called "anglers", and search by prefecture/area to see what other anglers around me are currently catching. Hope it helps!

[@rohp1283]

@@hanfishingjp Tks, much appreciated

[@abdulaziz-yb3so]

Saya mau ikut mancing di situ...! 🇮🇩

[@user-mo5cr5hz6i]

I wanna know a place where can I fish.

[@hanfishingjp]

Hi there, are you in Japan? The local tackle shops in your area would be able to advise you on good spots in your area! 😀

[@CrazyCranker]

What size snaps do you use?

[@hanfishingjp]

Hi, for LRF I usually use size 0 or size 00 snaps.

[@Jay-el9iw]

Which part of Japan?

[@hanfishingjp]

Hi Jay, this is in Minami-Ise, Mie Prefecture. Lots of good fishing spots down here!

[@Jay-el9iw]

@@hanfishingjp Thanks for the info.! Indeed, there are lots of places for fishing!! How can I get there from Tokyo? Through Shinkansen to Nagoya and then take another local train/bus?

[@hanfishingjp]

@@Jay-el9iw It's best to use a rental car as public transport is quite limited here, but yes, you can take a Shinkansen and local train too. If you are taking the train, you can try Kashikojima station in Shima City or Kii-Nagashima station in Kihoku Town!
