Go Go Round This Lake BIWA!

Two days of fishing in Lake Biwa! Autumn camp of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB.

The year is fast approaching its end. Fishing is the perfect diversion for the HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB in the midst of our fast-paced lives. The time spent reeling in the great outdoors is therapeutic, and the preparations and fantasies leading up to the day of the event keep us excited. Now, where shall we go? After much planning, we decided on Lake Biwa, the Mecca of bass fishing in Japan, as our destination! This was my third visit. This was my third visit to Lake Biwa, and I enjoyed a different kind of fishing on this two-day, one-night fishing trip.

Two days of enjoying Lake Biwa to the fullest .

Thus ended the two days of fishing. We enjoyed both wading on the first day and boating on the second day.

Miyake:Normally, I guide anglers on my boat, so it was unusual to have four boats fishing side by side, but it was a good experience for me to guide them while thinking about what position they should take and how they should fish. Anyway, I am glad everyone caught fish!

Ishii:. I have been to many lakes this year, but Lake Biwa is still very pleasant. Wading for the first time was also fun. . but I regret that I could not break last year's record. But this is also the fun of fishing. Even in Lake Biwa, you can't always catch a big bass every time. We are dealing with nature. I would like to take revenge as soon as possible!

Murayama:I enjoyed Lake Biwa for the first time. There are still spots to be found , so I would like to come back in the spring or so. . On that occasion, I would like to catch a fish the size of Lake Biwa.

Saisu:Everything was new to me, so it was fresh and fun. . it wasn't the ideal size, but I'm glad I caught it. I left with a challenge , and I would like to try again.

Hayashida:It was a lot of fun and a valuable experience. I was mainly using straight worms , so I couldn't use the lures I wanted to throw. But I caught the best fish of the day, a 34 cm fish, so I was happy. . Next time, I want to target larger sized bass.

Ikemoto:. The goal of catching a few fish was accomplished with flying colors. Catching a record high of 9 fish, Lake Biwa is amazing. Next time, I would like to catch a big one. I learned a lot from this fishing trip.

Komatsu:. both wading and boating were fun for two days. It was a memorable experience to be able to fish with everyone in a different field than usual. . Anyway, I was satisfied with the fishing. But I want to catch a big bass next time!
