A training camp is held to enjoy fishing to the fullest!
So far, I have fished mainly in the Kanto area and occasionally in Lake Biwa, but I was beginning to think, "I want to try fishing in more places! I was beginning to think, "I want to fish in more places! It would be great to be able to enjoy my usual fishing in an unfamiliar place, with a fresh feeling! I would be able to improve my skills by doing a lot of research and thinking about the field I have never been to before. . And, I also wanted to enjoy the sights and local products while I was there.
We are so selfish that we have chosen Shikoku as the location for our training camp! There seem to be many famous spots scattered throughout the area, so we decided to try our hand at "land fishing" (okappari), fishing from the shore and visiting various lakes. Our base of operations will be in Kagawa Prefecture . . So, we should eat Sanuki udon. I heard that each store has a completely different character, so we will visit various udon shops and eat a lot of udon. This is the beginning of the "Fishing Camp with Udon"!
Here are the members of this year's group. Some of them were visiting Shikoku for the first time, and their tension was high even under the blazing sun. And since it was their first time on land, they were accompanied by a reassuring guide.
