Fishing trip to Lake Kasumigaura

Last Monday, on 21^st, I went to the riverine system along Lake kasumigaura to enjoy spring-fishing again. The weather out there was so nice that I became refreshed and felt calm.

However, I didn’t have a good fishing this time again…, the condition of the fishing field out there is so tough for me as usual. Well, my you-tube clip below shows how my fishing this time was like.

Golden Week 2

Golden Week 2 (Arakawa-river)

On the last day of the Golden Week, Sunday May 6^th, I went to Arakawa-river if I could enjoy spring bass-fishing.

The weather was so nice that I felt good out there doing fishing.

Water in the river was muddy on that day due to heavy rain a couple of days ago, so I had a little difficult time fishing.

I mainly tried shad-lures expecting to get some reaction-bites from the fish because soft lures like worms didn’t work at all.

I finally got about 35cm bass with a “Soul-shad” lure (see the photo video posted below). That was the first bass that I caught in this river this fishing season!!

Lures: Soul-shad, by Jackall, Super-sledge, by Evergreen

Reels: Abu Garcia Revo SX KTF(too heavy…)

Golden Week 1

Last week we had spring holidays in Japan, called “Golden Week”.

“Golden Week”

The end of April through around May 5th is called "Golden Week" in Japan since there are many national holidays during this period. Many Japanese offices close for about a week to 10 days, depending on the calender. People take a vacation and travel around the country or abroad, so tourist attractions in Japan are crowded during this time. Also, airports and train stations in Japan are crowded with people. It is hard to get reservations for accommodations and transportation during Golden Week.

This year, weather through the week was not fine enough to go out for enjoying the leisure time, but I went fishing to lake Kasumi when the weather was allowed.
