Sudate

A fixed fishing tool, a type of fishing net. Split bamboo or pieces of wood are used to weave the net, which is then stretched over stakes, creating a complex maze. Fish enter the net during high tide, and are unable to escape when the tide goes out. They then hide in the remaining water or in the seaweed that has flowed in, and are then caught by hand or with a dip net.

Because the structure of the nets is weak, they are set up near the shores of rivers, lakes, and inland bays where the water is shallow and the waves are calm. Carp and crucian carp are caught in freshwater areas such as rivers and lakes, while sea bass, goby, rockfish, sea bitterling, mullet, conger eel, and black porgy are caught in inland bays. The fishing season runs from April to December, with the peak season being June to August. There are also tourist nets that allow tourists to catch fish with their bare hands and then prepare them into tempura and other dishes to eat.

定置漁具で、魞(えり)の一種。割り竹や木片で簀を編み、杭(くい)を立てて簀を張り、複雑な迷路とする。上げ潮時に簀の中に入り込んだ魚類が、引き潮時に逃げ場を失い、わずかに残った水や流入した藻に潜伏するものを、たも網で捕獲したり、手でとらえる仕組みである。

　簀立ては、構造が弱いため、水深が浅くて波浪が静穏な河川、湖沼、内湾の岸近くに設置される。河川や湖沼などの淡水域ではコイ、フナなどが漁獲され、内湾ではスズキ、ハゼ、アイナメ、ウミタナゴ、ボラ、アナゴ、クロダイなどが漁獲される。漁期は4～12月までであるが、盛漁期は6～8月である。観光客に素手でとらせた魚類をてんぷらなどにして食べさせる観光簀立ても行われている。
