Again to Lake Biwa

It's time to go to Lake Biwa! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB catches a black bass in spite of the rain!

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB" celebrates its first anniversary! Since we started our activities last year, we have been to many lakes and done a lot of fishing. The more we go, the more fun we have and the more we get addicted to the charm of fishing. This time we went to Lake Biwa, the Mecca of bass fishing! I have nothing but good memories of Lake Biwa because I visited there last year and had a blast fishing. Let's "chill out" and have fun!

The rain was nothing to worry about. We had a great time fishing in Lake Biwa and enjoying nature.

Ishii:I posted the 50-plus bass on my Instagram Stories and got a lot of reactions. Many people became friends through fishing, and I was able to reaffirm that it is good to share the same hobby. I would like to continue "happily chill out" with many people in the future!

Hiramoto:In the end, I kept throwing magnum cranks all day long, but I was able to do so only because Lake Biwa is a large lake with a wide field and big bass living there. . I was happy to be able to fish in a way that is typical of Lake Biwa, which I had longed to do after seeing it in magazines and on YouTube. I was more impressed than disappointed when I didn't catch a bass of a size I had never seen before. After all, Lake Biwa is a dream come true!

Ichikawa:. I really had a great time, that's the only word I can use to describe it. From getting on the bullet train with everyone to eating dinner while talking about fishing, it was a lot of fun, even if it wasn't actually swinging a rod. From now on, I would like to enjoy other things as well, like the fishing camp we had last year, with fishing at the core.

Komatsu:It's too bad we didn't catch any bass. . I hope it will be sunny next time, because while the catch is important, I think the best part of fishing is the scenery that you can only experience there. However, fishing in the rain made me feel more in touch with nature, and I think it was rather nice. . If I had been in Tokyo, I would have taken an umbrella in this rain for sure. I would like to visit Lake Biwa again soon!

Ikemoto:The size of the fish everyone caught was huge, and I was reminded once again that Lake Biwa is truly a sacred place for bass fishing. . Therefore, I also keenly felt the importance of having a full lineup of equipment suitable for Lake Biwa. I dared to try with my own tackle that I usually use, but I couldn't cope with the challenge. As for rain gear, I wore a poncho to keep my camera dry, but I want something like Daiwa's rainwear that is rainproof and suitable for fishing. . I want to get that together and come back for revenge.
