Moving on to the next point, the size of the fish gradually increased!



The group enjoys fishing, moving from one point to another where four boats can fish in a solid group.
Murayama:I had a bite earlier, but it got away. ...... I think it was pretty big.
Komatsu:I finally caught it and it was huge! But the moment I took it in, I was in a good mood and it got away. ...... Mr. Hayashida told me it might have been 40 cm. I was not discouraged and switched to the other side.
The reaction is not bad! In the midst of all this, Mr. Saisu's rod flexes.

Saisu:I had no response to the Double Swisher, so I used a shad I bought yesterday at "Seven Palms". Mr. Miyake told me that the shad would bite if I passed it over waterweeds, so I tried that, and on the second cast, the shad bit. The staff at Seven Palms and Mr. Miyake's advice went together and I was able to catch the fish.
Moreover, Mr. Saisu caught another fish on the same lure!


Ishii:This point seemed to be fishable with shad, so I tried it and got a few bites, but one time I missed the hook completely.
The first of the day's weights was on .......
Mr. Miyake and Mr. Ikemoto also caught a batch of fish.



Ikemoto:I move from one point to another, but I use the cat rig anyway. The fish finder is showing big bass, so I hope they will bite.


Hayashida:I hadn't quite gotten the hang of how to probe, but I was finally starting to get the picture. I'm using a straight worm, but I'm choosing a size a little bigger than everyone else's. I get bites, but they don't bite hard. I think I have a chance because I fell apart in the front earlier.
Mr. Hayashida says so. When he moved to a new point, finally!



This is the largest size today!
Hayashida:Mr. Miyake told me to use a down shot in areas where the bottom was gravel, which would get a good response. That's exactly what he said. I was glad because I hadn't been able to catch any.
And Komatsu, too, managed to catch one.

Komatsu:To be honest, I wasn't catching any fish and was very impatient. The lure got tangled in the weeds and I was trying to get it off. I got a hit. I caught it with waterweed (laughs).
Then again for Mr. Murayama.
Murayama:It looks like they have become a little more active. It bit me before I landed on the bottom. It was small, but I am glad I caught it.


We continued to move around the point, but then the thunderclouds came into view, so we decided to cut out a little early. Safety first.
