２００６/１/２５〜２/１ KOMODO ＩＳＬＡＮＤ
My first GT fishing trip this year was in Komodo.
The “Eco-lodge” we usually stay at has a topographic map on the wall.
It is pretty rough but well made.
This trip was to test out the swimming type lures and to check the balance of the pencil lures.

It looks like the Panic- MahiMahi color has been added to his favorite.

In the fast currents, Mr. Okubo hooked up a big one!!
Unfortunately the fish that surface was a shark hooked up on its fin.

The shark that was landed after getting drenched during the fight with a couple of waves.

Mr. Yagi hooked up. But immediately after hook up, it jumped and rolled. Another shark.
The road to the GT is long.

Mr. Yagi has his target. G-cup (07).

This fishing trip was full of rain. Apart from the last day, it rained continuously.
For certain reasons, I couldn’t fish while every body else was fishing.
I fished when every one was having a break. In other words, while it rained.
After hook up, it started dumping….

Although I couldn’t see due to the heavy rain, apparently we passed a section which was only 2.8m in depth.
Glad to have landed it successfully. Swimming type lure (prototype #23) in heavy rain.

Another one at the next point. Swimming type lure (prototype #23) in heavy rain.

Mr. Okubo and his rain gear. Hook up!!

Caught on the test pencil (low-light color #27).
I believe the color rotation is important depending on the weather, location of the sun.

Double hook up with Mr. Okubo and my self.
Caught in the rain with the Test pencil (#13) and G-cup Short (#09).

When ever the weather isn’t so great, the Cloudy-Black (#23) works well.

On the final day, the weather cleared and it was finally like GT fishing.

Other:
I went for a walk in the morning for about 3 hours the day we were to depart for Bali.
A girl I met during that walk.
Great relationship with his brother and was very considerate for his sister.
Maruyama met 5 badboys in Flores Indonesia.
They were all playing with the bike, which was missing a peddle and a flat tire.
The Video “LEGEND” will soon be available from APIS productions.
