It's a great feeling to be able to fish the way you want to.
The three of us arrived at a point called a "wand," where the lake is gouged out like a cove. There were many sunken branches in the front of the wand, and the risk of getting caught by roots seemed high.
The bay-shaped area is a good spot for bass to chase bait because of the movement of the water . . Moreover, in this area, bass hide behind branches that have sunk into the water and target small fish. . So although the risk is high, the probability of catching a fish should be high because of this. It is necessary to have the skill not to let the bait get stuck in the water.
So, we start fishing immediately. Looking at the surface of the water, there was a moment when a bashful bass rose and showed itself. It seems that there is no doubt that there are motivated fish.
I did some research last night and found out that there are wakasagi in this lake, which the bass use as bait. So I think I'll throw wakasagi-colored shad.
I'm worried about getting stuck in the roots, so I take it easy and try all kinds of things.
I'm going to try topwater fishing for bass that are rising on the surface of the water. It's a difficult way to fish, but it's a lot of fun when you catch them.
Then they started fishing in their own styles. Soon after, we heard the sound of splashing water. When I turned my head in that direction, I got an immediate hit! Whose rod caught it?
Ichikawa was the one who caught the bass, which was just under 30 cm in length . Well done! His strategy of targeting the surface layer seemed to have paid off.
Yay! My second fish of the day! It feels great to be able to fish the way I wanted to!
The two anglers gripped their rods tightly as they tried to catch up with Ichikawa, who had caught his second fish. They looked intently at the lake, imagined the fish's movements in their minds, and manipulated the lure.
. Ichikawa, on the other hand, was preoccupied with catching his third fish. He found himself moving farther and farther away to find a better spot.
Takataki Lake is located in Chiba Prefecture . Even though it is not far from the city center, the heat was subdued and the air was comfortable. When you come to such a natural setting, it is tempting to turn your lens toward the scenery.
After sticking around for an hour and a half, the two were unable to catch any fish. They decided to change points again.
