The other day, I went on a short fishing trip to Shimoda, so this time, to save money, I headed to the nearby Hayakawa Port. To be honest, I wasn't really in the mood to fish that day. This was because the open sea was very rough right after the typhoon had passed, and on top of that, the rainy season front was still around, so the weather was unstable, with sudden downpours followed by the sun coming out. But what about inside the nearby port? The waves were manageable for the time being. It was cool, so there was almost no risk of heatstroke. The problem was the rain. I would fish during the breaks in the rain, and if it suddenly started raining again, I would either use an umbrella to shelter or take refuge in the car, or if it seemed impossible, I would retreat. With such a reckless idea in mind, I hastily bought some bait and put it to the test. When I arrived at Hayakawa Port, I thought I was the only fool who would come fishing on a day like this... or rather, there was one other person! However, the person who was already there packed up and left while I was getting ready. Well, that's understandable. Because it was raining heavily at the fishing spot. But I thought I'd be sheltered from the rain under the bridge. No, the rainwater that had collected on the bridge was dripping down, making me wetter than usual. However, as soon as I started fishing, my target fish took the bait! But then, another sudden downpour forced me to take shelter in the car. The rain continued for a while, but stopped after about an hour, and held off until I packed up my gear. After that, I caught fish at a considerable pace until I finished fishing. I even caught a rumored fish, a first for Hayakawa Port, making for an unexpectedly good catch.
