こ、これは！イカ墨なのでは？！
先日、漁港に行ってみると、イカの墨らしき黒いものが点々と地面に残されていました。
え？イカ？どこにいるの？海面をしばらく眺めるも、全く姿を捉えることができませんでした。
地元の人に聞くと、「昔は、いっぱい釣れたんだけどね。」だそうです。
私も何度も何度もチャレンジしておりますが、なかなかこれが出会えないのです！実を言うと…だんだん心が折れてきました。
先日、イカを求めて、3時間石垣島北部海岸沿いを歩いても、1杯の成果もあげられず帰ってきました。何なの？！
イカちゃん…毎日マメに海に通って海岸線を歩き続けると言う執着心が必要なようです。
イカを釣り上げたよって言うニュースだけでも聞きたいので、もしアオリイカ釣り上げた際にはご連絡くださいね！
八島から〜サザンゲートブリッジを渡った人口島あたりです。
でもほんと、なかなか出会えなくなったそうです。
１シーズンがんばってやっと私は一杯。。。トホホです。
It's squid (Japanese flying squid) season, isn't it? What's this? Could it be squid ink?!
The other day, when I visited the fishing port, I noticed black substances scattered on the ground, resembling squid ink. Huh? Squid? I gazed at the sea for a while, but I couldn't spot any at all.
When I asked the locals, they said, "In the past, there used to be a lot of them." Apparently.
I've tried countless times myself, but I just can't seem to come across them! To be honest... I'm starting to feel a bit disheartened.
The other day, in my quest for squid, I walked along the northern coast of Ishigaki Island for three hours, but I returned home with no success. What's going on?!
It seems that catching squid requires a persistent dedication, with a daily routine of diligently walking along the coastline.
Even if you just have news of catching squid, please let me know! I'd love to hear about it.
By the way, the spot where squid are said to be caught near Ishigaki City is around Hachijima - the artificial island beyond the Southern Gate Bridge. But truly, it seems quite challenging to come across them. After a whole season of effort, I finally got one... Sigh.
