The ultimate Prize: The akame, looking a lot like the Australian barramundi (Lates calcarifer), is the holy grail of Japanese lure anglers. No wonder he needs a lie down after landing this huge specimen.
the famous akame; that was until a few years ago when Urado-wan peripheral became overly crowded with expert akame anglers year round,. So, what caused this?
Gaining an understanding ..
I try to interact with many anglers as an integral part of my lure development process. Of course I will search for the answer as
an avid angler myself, though the combined experience of many is far greater than the limited knowledge of one person. To be successful in life you must learn to listen and take experience from others to help you grow both personally and professionally. Fortunately, thanks to the North Craft fans and my fishing friends all over
the world, I am able to easily get great tips that I am unable to obtain on my own. It is with these connections that I have been able to understand a definitive pattern for the akame fish. After many interviews, all of which came to a common conclusion during the process, here is what I have found: usually, predatory fish are triggered to feed by a change in their natural environment - rising water, barometric pressure fluctuations, etc… but nobody really understood the akame, as it did not appear to be influenced by these common triggers. It turns out this fish is triggered as the tide comes to its highest and the water becomes slack, and for a few moments after as the tide begins to turn. The theory is that the crabs which inhabit akame waters take shelter during the stronger tidal periods, and
emerge to graze as the tidal flow decreases. I drew a hypothesis that the motion of the crabs flicked the switch on fish to feed as they love an easy meal of crustaceans. As soon as the tide increases the crabs are washed away or go back into hiding and the akame has no reason to remain foraging for food.
