Even if you are new to fishing on a recreational fishing boat or even if you are new to fishing in the first place, you can rest assured that the captain will teach you the basics of fishing in a fun way on the De Niro Guided Tour. Spend a relaxing day hanging your fishing line while surrendering yourself to the waves and winds of Shimoda. Once the captain has given a lecture on the flow of boarding, it's time to set sail! Let's enjoy the cruise overlooking the sea of Shimoda for a while until we arrive at the point! Always wear a life jacket.・Wear clothes that can get wet.・Wear non-slip shoes or shoes. Fishing method Recently popular Thai mule fishing, just drop the lure to the bottom of the sea and reel it in at a slow and constant speed to hit the fish. Beginners of offshore fishing, women, elementary school students (upper grades) can easily enjoy lure fishing without difficulty. Small fishing for beginners? And so on, don't underestimate it. I think the biggest attraction is that you can catch big fish that surprise you even though you can catch a light tackle and a simple fishing method without getting tired even if you do it all day long. ●Fish that can be caught The sea bream was originally developed to catch red sea bream in Honshu, but depending on the situation, greenery and migratory fish such as amberjack, yellowtail, flounder, grouper, and bonito may be hit.
