Ay no problem, this charter is called seakuro and you can find their contact info if you google their name. They do speak some English so don't worry to much haha

If you're fishing daytime I'd recommend metal lipless baits for cast range and to trigger a reaction and slow retrieving ur jerkbait at night

I hope you have better luck than me! Haha

@@MetalJigRebirth I have caught first small bass of my life in Tama river!!! The Tama river place is peaceful to fish. If you are comfortable, I would like you to invite here and do the fishing together and film the footage. If you are not living far from Tama though,,,

@@Tamazonch Sounds good! I'll dm you!

Its a ayu color but I was just trying to imitate the forage there lol

Since it's spring, post spawn seabass are migrating from the ocean upstream to rivers to feed so river mouths and river would be your best bet right now. If you're fishing during the day, I would recommend targetting structures/bridges (any area with shade) with soft plastic minnows or lipless vibes. Keep lure sizes small as seabass during spring feed on "microbait" aka tiny krill, squid and baitfish. At night you can use bigger lures, but keep the retrieve dead slow as the fish aren't in full aggressive mode in spring. You'll see a bunch of weird pencil looking lures in tackleshops; those are meant to imitate ragworms which are another main bait for spring seabass. You can use those too with the same dead slow retrieve. Good luck out there, it aint easy fishing from shore haha

To answer your question, 4cm to 10cm lures for all seasons, 10-20cm for fall, fish deep during the day and fish shallow at night. Lipless cranks, soft plastic minnows, swimbaits, jerkbaits should cover most of ur needs

@@MetalJigRebirth Thanks for the tips! Really helpful info. I went out to Shinagawa, the Tennozu Isle cannals last night and payed attention to the conditions to make sure they were optimal like you described (night time, cloudy, slightly windy, tide going out). About 30 minutes after sunset I started seeing tons of fish jumping out of the water. There were some small silvery fish that looked pretty long and narrow. I guessed that there might be some predatory fish like sea bass that were pushing them to the surface? Not sure - but I tried casting towards them with 4 cm jerkbaits, neon yellow soft plastic worms, paddle tails, lipless cranks, poppers, whopper ploppers, and spoons but wasn't able to get any sea bass bites. I went out before seeing your comment so I think was fishing everything too fast. It is good to know that the retrieve needs to be dead slow. Do you completely kill the motion (retrieve pause) or do you just keep up a constant slow slow retrieve? It is also good to know that at night I should be fishing high in the water column at the surface. I did try bouncing a soft plastic on the bottom with a lift drop technique but didn't get anything on that either. It is also interesting to learn that they are feeding on microbait. I did see a lot of tiny shrimp everywhere. I think the carp are also spawning, there were some big fish making heavy rolls at the surface (or were those sea bass)? I was able to catch two fish that had a yellow back using a spoon retrieved quickly at the surface: they weren't very big but they were very pretty. I believe they were Japanese horse mackerel. Anyhow, for tonight I will try to make the adjustment to fish much slower. I think I will stop by the tackle shop to pick up one of those pencil lures you mentioned. I also wonder if I should be exploring further upstream from the bay? The Tennozu Isle canals are still pretty close to the bay and I wonder if the sea bass are further up now. Anyhow - Tokyo's waterways are absolutely beautiful right now, lined with cherry blossoms. I've been having an amazing time exploring the city through fishing. Thank you for your part in making this such a good experience!

@@powangy Yeah just a slow constant drift. Deadsticking ur bait and letting it drift downstream also works. I'd explore upstream too

@@MetalJigRebirth I went to Joshuya and picked up one one of those stick baits (80 mm) that you recommened also a lipless minnow that the store worker suggested for sea bass. First off, Joshuya was an incredible experience. Japan has amazing fishing lures and I love that shop. The prices are pretty crazy compared to how much lures cost in the US but the craftmanship seems for the most part, superior so that makes sense. I went out to the Tamagawa river at night to target Suzuki. Didn't catch any throwing under a bridge but I somehow hooked into an amur catfish which put up a pretty great fight. I've been exploring the Sumida river around Tsukishima in Tokyo for the past two nights. There's a lot of people fishing there so maybe I finally found a good spot. One friendly fisherman saw that I was throwing a lipless crank and he told me that suzuki are not yet eating small fish and that they are still eating ragworms until end of April. He suggested that I throw the pencil lure until then. So last night, I went back to that area and only threw the pencil lure all night using a constant, dead-slow retreive. Hooked into a nice fish and thought it was a Suzuki. After landing it, I realized it was not. It had a black back and silver belly with a downward facing mouth (around 46 cm). I think it was a Bora... had no idea these things ate ragworms, thought they mainly ate algae. Tokyo has been tons of fun to explore through fishing. There's clearly tons of people who are interested in fishing here and the Tsukishima region, especially the inner cannals are incredibly beautiful to fish. The Suzuki still eludes me though! I might have to go with the fishing charter that you talked about haha. Who is your go to guy in Tokyo and how much do they charge? Thanks! Also, do you ever go to the used tackle shops in Tokyo (Tackle Berry)? Is it a good shop? I am trying to find the IMA Calm 80 lure, since I heard that is a sea bass slayer but I don't think they are in production anymore. Hoping I might be able to find it at Tackle Berry.

Tokyo is not really known for halibut/flatfish as they are pretty rare in tokyo. You can try kanagawa or ibaraki which are pretty well known for huge flatfish from the beach (via lure)

Thanks! Spots around toyosu and Disneyland are pretty decent. If you go to tackleshops like joshuya, they can also provide you a map with areas where you can fish and whatnot

@@MetalJigRebirth Perfect! Thank you so much!

Yup! A little tough to catch them during colder months though. Blade baits, lipless cranks and soft plastics will work great

Thanks, this is the tokyo prefecture

@@MetalJigRebirth thank you sir!

couple of slow floating jerk baits, lipless cranks and fluke style soft plastics and you're good to go!

metal vibration

Yeah, they are pretty hard to catch around Tokyo! I've heard you can catch them around Haneda airport in the shallow areas though

nope no license needed

Berkley gulp

You can use live bait or ragworms too. You can eat seabass from Tokyo but I wouldn't recommend it because of pollution.

Anytime 😊

Most underrated and overlooked lure tbh

Thanks!

Worst luck ever haha
