  • 〈STEP 1〉 Start Gurukun fishing!
  • After arriving at the spot, we will first fish for 'Gurukun' (Double-lined fusilier), the prefectural fish of Okinawa. Gurukun is caught using a 'Sabiki' rig. This rig has six small hooks below a cage, which we fill with bait called 'okiami' (krill) and drop into the sea. By jerking the rod to scatter the bait, schools of Gurukun are drawn in. Attracted by the bait, the Gurukun bite the hooks scattered along with the krill. Don't worry, even beginners can catch them easily! When the fish are active, you might catch two, three, or even four at once! It looks just like a carp streamer! Haha.
  • 〈STEP 2〉 Try live bait fishing!
  • Once you have caught enough Gurukun, it is time to target the big ones! The method is quite simple. Hook a caught Gurukun onto a large hook and drop it into the sea. Reel it in a few times from the seabed and wait. When a big fish approaches, the Gurukun will start to struggle. You can feel the vibration through the rod. When the rod bends suddenly, it is a sign that a big fish has eaten the Gurukun! Just set the hook and reel it in! It is sure to be an incredibly exciting moment.
  • 〈STEP 3〉 Transform into dinner!
  • We have partnered with a local izakaya bustling with islanders, so you can have your catch cooked and served! If you would like this, please include the 'number of people and date/time' when booking! (Business hours start at 18:00, last entry at 20:00). The captain will take the fish to the izakaya after the tour! *We may not be able to accommodate you depending on reservation status or holidays. *A separate cooking fee applies. *This service is for dinner only.
