Early summer or still after spawning? Lake Kasumigaura


This time, my fishing trip to Lake Kasumigaura was to see if I could catch any big bass after the spawning season.

Rather than my expectations, the field condition out there was not as good as I had thought.

Since it was windy almost entire day, I decided to try fishing in some rivers running through the lake.

Kita-tone river, where I caught one bass and one blue gill
    

30cm-bass!

Blue gill... but nice fight anyway...
   
moving to maekawa river
  
another 35 cm-bass!!

The results of my fishing trip this time were to get two basses and one blue gill. It seemed that they are still in the middle of recovering from spawning, and it was not easy to make them have my lures...

Fishing in Arakawa-river, Spring 2013

Last weekend, my fishing trip headed to Arakawa-river area to see if I could expect to get any good fish.


Since the spawning season seems to be almost over in the area, no wonder my expectation to catch after-spawned bass was extremely high!!



The results were... I got several bites from bluegills, but not from basses...



Before the sunset around 18 o’clock, I finally caught a baby bass...(a picture below)



I saw some big basses schooling in the water, which I could have a high hope for getting any big one next time.

Lure: Soul shad by Jackall, Gary worms
Reel: DAIWA Pixy68L
