A fishing trip with a Yamaha boat! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB smiling on sea bass in Tokyo Bay?

Spring has arrived , the time for fishing! . The water temperature is gradually rising, and it is the season for fish to be active. Spring is the spawning season for black bass. While we would like to target spring bass with a big appetite, we will be fishing in the sea, and while bass are bass, we will be fishing for sea bass! I boarded a rental boat with two members of Metropolis Fishing and set sail for the calm waters of Tokyo Bay! Who will catch a sea bass in this beautiful weather?

Boat sea bass can be done easily.

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB" has been focusing on bass fishing so far, but our concept is "fun and enjoyable chill-out". We decided to go to the sea for the first time to have fun fishing. The members are excited to be in an unusual environment.

. The destination is "Newport Edogawa," conveniently located about 20 minutes from central Tokyo by car. . This facility sells Yamaha boats and offers training for marine licenses, and if you are a member of the "Yamaha Marine Club Sea Style," you can rent a wide variety of boats. Boats can be rented at about 140 marinas nationwide, so you can enjoy boat fishing and cruising on your travels.

The boat we rented this time was an eight-passenger boat, which can be driven by those who have a small boat operator's license of Class 2 or higher. The boat is larger than the boats we usually use for bass fishing, and we were all excited just by looking at it. It is equipped with a fish finder and a toilet, so it will be a safe, secure, and comfortable fishing trip. This is the group that will be going on this trip.

I was looking forward to this trip because it was the first HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB fishing trip of the year, and more importantly, I was happy to be on a boat in the ocean! . Since it was my first time fishing for sea bass, I prepared three lures that were recommended to me at Jyoshuya.

It was such great timing, so it's great to be able to get on a boat! . It's my first time out in Tokyo Bay, so I want to go home with my hands smelling like fish.

He is active in magazines, websites, advertisements, and outdoor photography. I've only fished for sea bass from land, so I'm looking forward to it. Which is more difficult, black bass or sea bass? But I feel like I can catch it ......! .

The rod and reel used were AbuGarcia rods and reels. The rod, ZoomSafari ZMSS-705ML, is a 5-strand pack rod with a compact body size of 49.4 cm. It can be packed in a backpack and transported by train, making it perfect for fishing while traveling. It is a versatile rod that can be used for sea bass, swordfish, squid, black bass, and trout. The reel is the Cardinal III STX2500SH, Abu Garcia's popular spinning reel. A replacement spool is also included, making it easy to change lines when fishing.

The lures we will be using are mainly from "IMA". . Aima is a popular lure manufacturer that also offers a wide lineup of lures suitable for sea bass fishing. If you look closely, you can see the cute logo with the eyes. They come in a wide variety of colors, weights, and sizes, so I have a feeling that today's fishing will be a blast. ......
