No fish, but the ocean itself made it a memorable day. Sometimes, just being out there is enough.

After Typhoon No. 6 passed, a jewel of the forest—the Japanese jewel beetle (Yamato Tamamushi)—descended onto the rocky shore. The seawater became crystal clear, and baitfish began boiling around my lure nearly 90 meters away. The fish activity along the rocks suddenly increased, making the ocean feel completely different from just one month ago. If the seasons beneath the sea are about two months behind those on land, then it must be spring in full bloom underwater. Before I knew it, a Yellowtail Amberjack or Japanese Amberjack appeared right in front of me, chasing baitfish as if to say hello. It was a truly soothing and memorable day.
