Black bass and anglers become more active in spring.
This time of year, when the pollen has finally settled down, I feel like going somewhere for fun. I want to go shopping for summer clothes, and just hanging out in the neighborhood park feels good, of course. However, if you go to the trouble, you may want to go a little farther and play in the great outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere.
The first thing that came to mind was Kaito Sasamoto, aka KOZAKANA, who works at "FTC TOKYO" and Takamine Sasaki, a hair stylist at "Guru's Cut & Stand. The two are developing an apparel and sundry shop called "Metropolis Fishing" with fishing as its background. Fishing," a brand of apparel and sundries with fishing as its background. We invited them to join us for a day of fishing and refreshment!

When I asked Mr. KOZAKANA where to fish and what to fish for, he suggested bass fishing. The pleasant spring weather makes not only people want to move around, but also black bass. Spring is the spawning season for black bass, and they have a big appetite this time of year. Although bass fishing uses lures, the variety of lures is much greater than for other species of fish. There are so many different styles of bass fishing that some people only use specific lures, which makes bass fishing deep and interesting.
If you are going fishing, you should arrive before sunrise to coincide with the fish breakfast time. But this time, the purpose is to relax, so it is okay to meet late. It would be a good excuse in case we didn't catch any fish. I'm sure we'll catch fish today. I saw it in my dream yesterday! I remember exactly where I caught it," said Takamine. I don't have any persuasive power, but I'm still hopeful.


The two assembled here are wearing Columbia's "Peak Freak Rush Shandals" on their feet. They are not sandals, but "shandals. In other words, they are sandals that can be worn like sneakers, and sneakers that can be worn like sandals.
Columbia has two types of outdoor-use shandals in its lineup, and the two of you are wearing this year's newest. The footbeds are not made of fabric, so they can be worn barefoot. The heel strap holds them in place, and the relaxed fit is just right for driving and spending an hour in comfort on the way to your destination.
