The team boldly advanced through the rocky terrain,
Casting in earnest!
The conditions on this day were relatively windy and the lake was rough. In addition, the water temperature drops in autumn, the bass are more active, and it is extremely difficult to determine where they are lurking. So, it was a little hard for beginners. The day before the shooting, I visited a fishing tackle store and obtained a secret weapon. He said, "I heard that bass in Lake Shojin feed mainly on wakasagi, so you can definitely catch them with this lure, which allows you to target a wider area of the surface layer! Don't worry! He held a wakasagi hard lure in his hand. His reassuring words raised my expectations.
The group began to swing their fishing rods. Gaku, who used to go fishing with his friends when he was in elementary and junior high school, was used to handling a fishing rod, even though he had blanked out. Pero and Zen also had a hard time handling the rods and gears at first, but they improved quickly after a few swings. They were moving around the wild rocky area, searching for the hiding place of bass.
Gucci saw that baits (small fish) stay at points where there is no current, defeated by the current generated by the wind.
Wait at the tip of the headland where the current is strong and weak for the bass to come for the bait.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. After targeting the surface layer, the group switched lures and targeted the middle layer, but were unable to catch any fish. According to Gucci, "The water is probably rocky due to lava, so I think they are around the unevenness of the water. ......" So they switched from hard lures to worms in order to target the lower layers, and searched carefully. I tried to change my methods, but it was still not worth the effort.
However, for some reason, Gucci was the only one who was impatient. The other three anglers were looking for places to find bass, picking out rocky spots, and improving their casting skills, and even if they didn't catch any, the whole activity seemed fresh and fun. The "early evening" (before dusk. This is the time when fish, like humans, begin to get hungry. The area of shade will increase and the bass will be more active, so there is still a chance to catch some fish!
