What is the traditional fishing method “Gochiami fishing”?

"Gochiami fishing" is one of Japan's traditional fishing methods, and refers to the method of catching specific fish with a net. One of the characteristics of this method is that the fish can be caught in as short as 15 minutes after the net is cast, allowing the fish to remain fresh without weakening. The fishing season is open for a limited time from spring to fall (April 20th to November 30th) every year.
