SPOT 03: Benkei Fishing Club Parents and children can easily experience fishing, a hot activity!

The next stop was Benkei Fishing Club, a fishing pond in Akasaka-mitsuke. Here, they will try their hand at fishing, a sport that is gaining popularity. The Benkei Fishing Club is said to be home to black bass over 40 cm in length. Will we be able to catch them?


. I put dumpling-shaped bait on my fishing rod and cast it into the water, but it is not easy to catch the fish. Repeating this action, I persistently wait for the bass to bite the bait. While resisting the temptation to become bored with the repetition of this simple action, the two fishermen patiently keep their eyes on the surface of the water so as not to miss the sinking of the float.




As if he couldn't bear to see the father and son struggling to catch fish, a staff member offered some advice. The interesting thing about fishing is that you have to be creative in how you attack the fish, as their behavior changes depending on the day's conditions. After about 30 minutes of fishing, Shindai's rod got a hit! He caught a bass over 20 cm in length! The two were overjoyed. They were both overjoyed with the catch, and were able to finish off their day of fun-filled fishing with a bang.
