Summer is the best season for fishing in Osaka Bay. However, “heat countermeasures” are crucial for your catch, as they affect your physical strength and endurance.
Chining, sea bass, bluefin tuna, octopus…
Summer in Osaka Bay is a popular season because fish are most active there, and you can enjoy fishing for a variety of targets, especially in the mornings and evenings.
On the other hand, what I’m most concerned about while guiding is the possibility of heatstroke among the customers .
Especially for those who are trying boat fishing for the first time,
“It’s cool because it’s by the sea, right?”
It is not uncommon for people to think that way.
However, the reality is the opposite.
There is almost no shade on the sea.
solar
Reflection from the sea surface
Deck reflection
These factors combined make it even more physically demanding than track and field.
That’s why at TaPiYoTa, we ask that you take precautions against the heat even before boarding.
This time, I’ll share some truly useful tips for dealing with the heat, drawing on my experience as a guide in Osaka Bay.
The statement “Osaka Bay is cool because it’s windy” is half true and half false.
First thing in the morning is truly refreshing.
However, in the summer, the wind starts to die down around 8 to 10 a.m.
Then you suddenly start to feel the heat.
The perceived temperature rises considerably, especially in areas that are less exposed to the wind, such as around bridge piers and along seawalls.
Therefore, I myself
“It’s not hot yet.”
I start hydrating when I feel like I need it.
Common traits of people prone to heatstroke
There are some things that are common among people who work as guides.
it is
Those who are obsessed with fishing tend not to drink water.
When the fish start biting,
“Just one more throw!”
“Now’s our chance!”
This is the result.
the result,
I just realized I haven’t had a drink in over an hour…
Such cases are not uncommon.
I also want to say to our customers,
“Let’s have a drink!”
I regularly check in with them.
Of course, the catch is important,
Because ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable day is of even greater importance.
Recommendation #1: Cooling innerwear
It’s even cooler than being naked! I highly recommend wearing a mumps mask!

This is the item that I feel has evolved the most in recent years.
In the past
“Long sleeves are too hot.”
That was my impression.
However, today’s cooling innerwear is completely different.
It felt so cold that I started to sweat.
Furthermore, it even protects against ultraviolet rays.

★★★★☆
I wear it every time I guide people in the summer.
Less tiring than short sleeves,
I have enough energy left until evening.
I recommend that beginners have at least one of these.
Recommendation #2: Face Guard

This is an item that many people are initially hesitant to buy.
However,
Everyone has the same impression after using it for a day.
“It’s cooler than I expected.”
Even just protecting your neck from sunburn can make a big difference in how tired you feel.

The glare from the surface of the sea in Osaka Bay is really intense.
Not just the face

Recommendation #4: Large-capacity bottle
THERMOS Vacuum Insulated Sports Jug

One 500ml bottle is definitely not enough.
What I recommend is

In the middle of summer, you might even want to bring two bottles.

★★★★★
One sports drink
One bottle of water
This combination is my top recommendation.
By switching between different drinks, you can stay hydrated without getting bored until the very end.
Recommendation #5: Salt replenishment items

In the summer, when you sweat a lot
Water alone is not enough.
Having salt tablets or oral rehydration solution on hand is also reassuring.
Recommendation #6: Air-conditioned clothing

Recently, the number of boat anglers has also increased.
I particularly notice its effectiveness on afternoon flights during the height of summer.
Captain’s Review
★★★★★
The vest type makes it easy to operate the rod,
It’s comfortable even when casting a lot while fishing for sea bream.
There are now more models that are compatible with life jackets.
Even after returning to port, the heat countermeasures are not over.
One thing that’s surprisingly easy to forget is what to do after you get home.
Once we returned to port and felt relieved,
The fatigue hits you all at once.
My recommendation is
Take a shower
Drink a sports drink
• Moisturize
Get plenty of sleep
This concludes our summer fishing trip.
