Hi Glen, (and others)
Just joined up and first time to post. You have built up a great site with lots of info. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
To answer your question "what is GW?" it means Golden Week which are holidays at the beginning of May, and depending on how they fall each year can make up about a week off for many Japanese.
I'm living near Osaka, Japan.
For your reference I have a non-commercial page here: [url="http://tsuribaka.com/jp/fishing/index.html"]http://tsuribaka.com/jp/fishing/index.html[/url]
Haven't updated that for ages though.
And I arrange fishing tours to New Zealand for recreational Japanese anglers.
Got to rush out now but did take many pics last weekend of a big group of Japanese pulling in nets "Jibiki-ami" at a beach near us and they got a few squid too, and can put up a link to those in this forum later......
