Fishing road trip in a FORESTER

Rangan in Kasumigaura! Huinamu Fishing Club bass fishing and the scorching sun in the rainy season.

It is the rainy season, but there is little rain, and the temperature is already in the summer. Unable to contain our open-minded mood, we decided to take a break and go fishing at Kasumigaura in Ibaraki Prefecture. Kasumigaura is one of the most popular bass fishing spots in Japan and is easily accessible from Tokyo. This time, we decided to play in a run-and-gun style, moving from one point to another by car without getting on a boat! We enjoyed the great outdoors despite the scorching sun.

Comfortably tour various points of interest.

Kasumigaura is the second largest lake in Japan after Lake Biwa, and is such a popular field that several bass fishing tournaments are held there. Although it is such a major lake, it is said that it is not as easy to catch bass as other lakes, to put it bluntly. But it is precisely because it is difficult to catch a bass that the joy of catching one is so great.

Kasumigaura is about an hour and a half drive from Tokyo. This time, we will be touring the area with a Subaru Forester, a new model that was just released in Japan this spring and is perfect for outdoor activities.

Surprisingly, SUVs sometimes feel cramped in the back seat in comparison to their appearance, but this was not the case at all. The members enjoyed the relaxing early morning drive and arrived at the first point of interest.

He started bass fishing in Kasumigaura, and now frequently visits Kameyama Lake in Chiba Prefecture as his home lake. He is friends with the staff of fishing manufacturers and bass pros. I came here two or three weeks ago," he said. But it's even murkier today than it was then. Anyway, I'm hoping to catch some fish.

I haven't been to Kasumigaura in a month. I think some of the fish have finished spawning and are recovering their strength, so I'm going to try to catch them.

He writes mainly for magazines and web magazines. I came to Kasumigaura for the first time. There are many points, but I had no idea what to look for. I heard that shrimp-type worms are good in Kasumigaura this time of year, so I managed to catch one.

He is active in magazines, websites, and advertisements, and also handles outdoor photography. I've been to Kasumigaura a few times, but I haven't narrowed down the points and haven't figured it out yet," he said. I've done a lot of prep work, so I hope I can catch some fish.
