About Flatfish

In Japan it is called “Hirame”. If the water temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees, you can aim from the surf. The optimum water temperature is 18 degrees to 20 degrees and likes a little cold water. In the Northern Hemisphere, the opportunity will increase to become the optimum water temperature in the fall from now. In winter, the number of individuals decreases, but it is a chance to aim for a large size. Flatfish in winter is the most delicious season as meat grows thick.

Like other fish, dawn and before sunset is a chance. If it is summer it is a morning with low water temperature, if it is winter it will be aiming from the daytime to the evening when the water temperature rises.
