Three days devoted to fishing.
It took about an hour from Haneda Airport to Nanki-Shirahama Airport. We were on edge when a disturbing announcement was made that we might not be able to land due to bad weather, but fortunately, the break in the clouds was well timed, and we arrived safely. On this trip, we will fish for black bass while moving from point to point on land, and on the ocean we will try our hand at casting game from a boat for yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna with lures. We got into the rental car and immediately went bass fishing! After an hour's drive, our first destination is Nanagawa Dam. This is a major field in Wakayama where tournaments are held, and the members who were visiting for the first time were filled with anticipation.

Huynem Fishing
Director of the club. "I was looking forward to seeing the scenery of Wakayama, which is rich in nature. The tuna was my revenge for last year's Sagami Bay trip. But to be honest, I've heard about people who have caught tuna, but I don't have the image of catching a tuna weighing several dozen kilograms with a lure. Well, anyway, I'm looking forward to three days of fishing."

He loves fishing so much that he collaborates with a fishing manufacturer for his apparel brand "Flagstaff. Last year, he caught a yellowfin tuna. I come to Wakayama every year for bass fishing and bonito fishing. The water quality is clean and pleasant for bass fishing, and I caught about 20 bonito last year, so I have good memories of this place.

He writes mainly for magazines and webzines. This is my first time in Wakayama. I have the impression that the mountains are deep and the sea is full of bounty. I've been really looking forward to doing some bass fishing runs, and also looking for and targeting tuna and bonito by boat. I know it won't be easy, but my dream tuna, I hope someone catches it."

"Wakayama is famous for aquaculture and ayu fishing, and I was looking forward to being able to fish there because of the strong image of fish. Bass fishing is exciting to run around in the wilderness, which is different from Lake Biwa and Kasumigaura, and I am looking forward to the abundance of tuna and bonito in the ocean."
