Two days of immersive bass fishing began.
Leaving the crowded Tokyo Station early in the morning, we arrived at Maibara Station in Shiga Prefecture in a little over two hours. We got into the rental car and headed for Lake Biwa. The conversation on the way was about the lures we had brought with us and our recent catches. Huinamu Fishing It had been a year and a half since the club had visited Lake Biwa. That's right, we were very excited. This time, we waded and fished on land on the first day, and went on a boat on the second day.
Spring is the spawning season for black bass. Before the spawning season, black bass are feeding heavily to build up their strength, and this is the season when you can expect to see bigger bass than any other time of the year. On the first day of the trip, Matsuchi, a YouTuber who fished at the "Fishing Show OSAKA" last year and also fished in Osaka Bay, came to visit us! With our hearts filled with anticipation, we donned waterproof waders and floating vests, and off we went!

The director of the club. The last time I fished Lake Biwa, I caught a lot of fish, but not many big ones, so I have high expectations for this trip. And since I always end up relying on the cat rig in the end, I thought I'd try a lure I haven't used very often on this fishing trip!

I have not been to Lake Biwa since 2022, when I was a member of the Hui-Nam Fishing Club. I have heard a lot of stories and researched about Lake Biwa, and I think that if I do my usual strong fishing in the current conditions of the lake, I might get hurt. I'll keep an eye on the situation and catch one for now."
