. concentrate on fishing without getting wet or cold.

In the evening, the three of them went to a nearby lakeside to do some fishing. Lake Motosu is home to black bass, which the three are always in pursuit of, as well as rainbow trout and rainbow trout, which are delicious to eat. Incidentally, its water quality is one of the clearest in Honshu, and Lake Motosu is the setting for the upside-down Fuji depicted on the back of the 1,000-yen bill.

The three of us were fishing for the first time at such a pleasant point .

Tsujii:If I usually fish for bass, I only go to Lake Sagami , so it is refreshing to fish in Lake Motosu.

Morita:You don't come from the Yamanashi area, do you? . I often go to the dam in Chiba.

Sato:. I also go to Chiba and Ibaraki. I was excited to see about 7 black bass over 50 cm swimming in the lake.

Tsujii:. there was no sign of catching any fish, though (laughs).

The three began bass fishing when they were in elementary school, and after a period of time away from the sport, they resumed about five years ago. Now, Tsujii and Morita are not limited to bass fishing, but also do sea fishing.

Tsujii:. When I catch fish in the ocean, I bring them back to the restaurant for bribes. I like bass fishing, but I can catch fish that I can eat in the ocean, so I enjoy that as well.

Morita:Yes, that's right. . I've been into squid fishing lately. . I'm also trying to catch horse mackerel with a lure, but it's difficult.

Tsujii:The silhouette was just right. If it was tight, it would be hard to move in and look sporty, and if it was dumpy, it would catch and be hard to move in. It is a size that can be worn for town use, and it looks good to wear the top and bottom separately depending on the weather.

Morita:I think it is interesting that there are so many different styles of lures.

Sato:Certainly, there are a lot of styles . I like it because of its affinity with fashion and American culture.

Tsujii:It's nice to get out of the city and into nature, and there are many places close by where you can fish for bass. I can get so absorbed in it that I forget to eat.

Morita:Since I am from Kisarazu, there are many spots near my parents' house where bass fishing is available, and it has been a familiar pastime for me for a long time. I remember the first time I caught a bass.

Sato:I also remember the day I caught my first bass. I caught it with a Gary Yamamoto fluorescent-colored worm, and I matched the bite with a thump. It was May 3, around the Ushiori area in Kasumigaura. I remember that day every year (laughs).

Morita:Like today, I can play with camping and go on a trip with fishing as the main event. I have been to many places for fishing with my friends. Shikoku, Awaji Island, Lake Biwa, Nara where Ikehara Dam is located, Nagano where Lake Nojiri is located, and so on. . Even if we didn't catch any fish, we would enjoy eating local delicacies and drinking sake. That's fun, too.
