It is said that anchovy of 6 to 7 em in body length is the most suitable for the live bait in skipjack pole and line fishing, and it must be held in a creel for more than 7 days so as to be transported from the holding ground to the fishing ground, kept in the small bait hold in a fishing boat. To hold the live bait anchovy, holding creel should be settled in calm waters, and then it is necessary to investigate the appearance of the available resource in the south-eastern coastal waters of Korea where the creel can be settled. The authors investigated the app~arance of the available resource in the waters, and the following results are found. 1. The available resource appears more and the fishing season is longer than in the offshore, rather than in the inshore. 2. The available resource arc caught in the offshore with the passing of time into winter, and they are caught merely in the offshore side in December. 3. The available resource could be secured from July to December, somewhere in the south-eastern coastal waiers of Korea, if the holding ground were removed appropriately.
