Whiting (Shiro-gisu) is a popular delicacy in Japan whereby, it is usually seen on Tempura dishes. The fish are usually deep fried with flour batter and it has is a important commercial species in Japan, greatly esteemed for its delicate flavour.
Since, it my offday and after finish washing my clothings in the morning, i decided to go for some fishing. The weather was extremely hot this few days and the heat was unbearable and it was a sweat out day for me.

As i bought some dead prawn for this trip, catching small fish is not a mission impossible. Shortly after my first cast, a nice whiting was caught. Seriously, Prawn meat was the favorite food for the Whiting and every cast, there will be some fish coming for the bait at the other end. The fun part for Whiting fishing is that getting the fish to be hook up need some skill and technique as the fish's mouth is quite small.

18pcs of Whiting in less than 1.5hours
Overall, it was a hot and fun trip for me and the result was pretty good for the day since i have ever tried empty-handed on targetting this fish before on this beach. Luckily for me, The fish is biting and fighting against Whiting using light tackle is really fun. Will definately tried out Whiting fishing again when i have my free time.
