I went off-shore of Amakusa to target Dorado’s. We had initially received information that pencil type lures were  effective recently, but the Sharapoa I used also produced amazing results! The action which was effective during this trip was high speed twitching. The lure surfaced once in a while and caught air-bubbles in the cup and twitched below the surface with the air-bubbles clinging to the body of the lure. Throughout the day, I only used 1 lure which was the Top-light-black color, and proved its strength and capability of appealing to the target even after typical pounding and pounding by the Dorado being landed. At the end of the day, I managed to land a nice size fish weighing over 30lb (too heavy for 30lb Boga-grip). It was so much fun, I hope to be able to go again this season.  （2006/7/31）
