Chasing Giant BASS

50UP black bass to be targeted in Lake Biwa. Spring training camp of Huinamu Fishing Club.

The mild weather lured the Hui-Nam Fishing Club to Lake Biwa, the “mother lake” of the lake. The goal, of course, was to catch black bass over 50 cm in length! The fickle conditions of the field and the tension that sometimes interrupts the leisurely pace of the day. This was my fifth fishing trip to Lake Biwa, and it was as romantic as ever. Two days of trial-and-error by a group of tough, hard-core anglers, facing the great outdoors. What was the result?

A fishing tackle shop unique to Lake Biwa.

After parting ways with Macchan, we headed to "Angler's Moriyama" on our way home from the fishing grounds. Angler's Moriyama is a member of the Angler's Group, a family of fishing tackle stores operating mainly in the Kansai region. Anglers Moriyama is one of the Anglers group, a group of fishing tackle shops operating mainly in the Kansai region. This is where you can purchase additional things you will need the next day.

The most recent response in Lake Biwa, according to the guide beforehand, was a voluminous silhouette of hog worms with shrimp and crayfish motifs and high specific gravity worms. That is what I am looking for, but the overwhelming assortment, which cannot be found in the Kanto area, makes me want to buy many other things as well.

Ichikawa: There are many lures in sizes that are not sold very often in the Kanto area, and there are plenty of popular models in stock that sell out quickly. It is fun just to look around. Although unrelated to this fishing trip, I was able to buy a lure that I personally wanted.

Hiramoto: It is interesting to see the different lure recommendations for this time of year in Kanto and Lake Biwa. My favorite big baits have just arrived.

Ikemoto: This is indeed a fishing tackle shop in Lake Biwa. I can't believe that one manufacturer has such a wide variety of products. It is like a department store of lures.

Ishii: I dreamed of coming to Lake Biwa, so I picked up lures in sizes I normally wouldn't. I got the "Power Bibi Bibi Bug" by Issei and the "Cover Scat" by Depths. I got the "Power Bibi Bibi Bug" by Issei and the "Cover Scat" by Depths.

Komatsu: The store also has a guide to points of interest, so even if it is your first visit to Lake Biwa, you can rest assured that you will be in good hands here. I stocked up on "Valap Swimmer" from "Bottom Up" and "Gimmy," a favorite of Matchan.

Saisu: I usually collect mainly tops, so it is refreshing to take a closer look at worms. I bought "Sakamata Shad Real" from Depths.

In addition to lures, we will be stocking up on hooks and sinkers to prepare for tomorrow, which is the day of the show.
