Expectations were high for the first boat in a long time.

It was 5:30 a.m. when the city was quiet. We gathered at the marina located near Yokohama Bay Hall. Mr. Masaaki Endo, Chief Captain of Island Cruise FC, will be our guide this time. Mr. Endo is a professional angler supported by DAIWA and O.S.P., and has even developed his own original lures. You can be sure that you will have a fun day with his full trust. The members, who had not been on a boat for a long time, boarded the boat with great anticipation.

Club Director. It's been a long time since I've fished in the cold. I like fishing in the crisp cold weather, so I was looking forward to today. The clean air feels good. I hadn't fished for sea bass for 10 months since I went to Osaka Bay during the "Fishing Show OSAKA 2024. I would like to fish for Spanish mackerel and many other species."

Recently, I've been going fishing for sea bass on land, and I've been very satisfied with the results," he said. This is my first time boat casting, but I expect to catch more than that.

He writes mainly for fashion magazines and web magazines. I haven't fished for sea bass on a boat since Osaka Bay. But this time, I'll be using a different lure, so I'm looking forward to a different kind of fun. I've never caught Spanish mackerel before, so I'll be very happy when I get a hit. I'd like to catch a lot of other fish as well, and then we'll have a big feast and toast together."

He said, "I was able to catch a 79 cm boat sea bass in October, so I must know a little bit about how it feels. I bought a lure at 'casting' for today. My goal is to fish with it first. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of fish I can catch besides sea bass and Spanish mackerel."
