Today we had planned on going jigging for all sorts with Chubei', alas the wind God was most definately present and the skipper of the boat had called the day off.No jigging meant that we would have the oppurtunity to visit some tackle stores, sounds like a plan, only to find that record snow falls have closed the main roads, back to the Gan Cave to have a play with some toys, There is no shortage of toys to play with here with tackle from the common market place tackles to the never before seen before fishing gear and this is what I wanted to play with.
We filmed a short clip of putting together a jointed claw zepro - the next, there is a lot that goes into these thing's a lot more than there is credit given for, I had a crack at a test one first and then with the camera's rolling we did one for real. I cant remember if I was speaking English or Engrish but it was fun all the same.
To keep the creative minds working we headed to Shirahama where I again did some pottery, this time round I made an ash tray to go with the sake set from last time.
We did not finish making the pottery till quite late so after a quick stop back at the office we made our way to oeconomi yaki (spelling) its like a pancake cooked on a hotplate at your table - very cool and very tasty. During dinner we had a few drinks to warm up and ended up at a tiny little bar in Tanabe, small, unique atmosphere, one you could comfortably sit for hours and drink if we were not falling alseep.
Tomorrow is tackle hunting.
