1st,December in Lake Biwa

I went to Lake Biwa for fishing, today.

The weather was well. It's warm day from morning.

We went to northern west coast area first.


I caught a 4lb bass with the nail-rig of the Anostraight worm that I liked recently at a depth of the water 6m.



Mr. Tsubasa of my friend caught a 3lb bass, too.

After that, We moved a little, when I threw the Mother at a depth of the water 3m.
then, three about 10lb basses did Chase it! and one of them bited!
But I had failed in fooking.

We did fishing for a while in the neighborhood, and I was able to catch a 3lb bass with Texas rig of Deathadder.

I think recent Lake Biwa becomes difficult so much!

The final day

The final day started from taking a picture of my lures and tackles.
Mr.Oba did it hard and ended it, we began fishing at 10 a.m..

Because the theme of this interview was "Giant Lures", I threw out it a lot.
But I was not possible to fish with it.

I could got only a small bass with Anostraight worm in the northern part west shore in Lake Biwa.

For these five days, it became difficult fishing for me.
However, there was new some discoveries, and I want to tie to the fishing in the future.
And I know it's too difficult to fish the bass in front of the camera.
Thank you for Mr. Oba for two days!

The fourth day

I went fishing with Mr. Michi Oba who is cameraman of Japanese fishing magazine "Rod & Reel".
We began interviewing on my boat around seven a.m. but the fog was terrible and we couldn't see ahead anything.
Like this.

We went to northern part east shore of the Lake Biwa.
The bass cannot be fished easily...

I moved a little to another point, and threw out Romanmade's Mother.
Then, three big basses came chasing it!
One of them was considerably fat and there seemed to be 13lb-14lb.
Though they seemed to bite to the Mother, noticed the existence of the boat and turned back.

So, I threw out in the same point for a Giant Polk (about 20 inches in length).
Then, the big basses enclosed Giant Polk, and were turning with in conspiracy.
However, I couldn't fish them.

After fishing, I took a supper with Mr. Oba, Mr. Go who developed the Giant Polk and Mr.Takeyama who is Romanmade's president at night.

And I was gotten "Anostraight worms" from Mr. Hasegawa who had developed it.
Thank you for Mr. Hasegawa.
I want to introduce in this blog later about Mr. Hasegawa, Mr. Go, and Mr. Takeyama.

After that, it was after 3 a.m. that we slept by receiving the interview from Mr.Oba, and taking the photograph of my tackle at the hotel.

Thank you very much ..everybody...

The third day

I was with Mr. Tachi who is my fishing friend. He is also a big bass hunter.
We went angling for the first time together this time because he also owned his boat though we were the fishing friends since four years.
 
We finished in the northern part and west shore on Lake Biwa.

I could catch only about 2lb bass on the anostraight worm.
I have really liked it.

Though we weren't possible to fish so much, I was discoverd a new point.
We were able to spend a significant day.

The second day

The second day, I went fishing with Mr. Shimizu and Mr.Horiba.
For them, I am friend from childhood.
They're too shy, so I can't publish their photo.
 
On this day, it was very cold though the weather had recovered since yesterday.
This day I wasn't able to fished at all, and I tried the light rig after a long time.
It was "anostraight worm" of Boaless that put on the market recently.
It is a worm that Mr. Kouji Hasegawa who was doing the guide in Lake Biwa designed.
I could get 3 small basses and 4lb one on this worm.

Finally, there was a bite of a big bass on this worm when I stayed it at bottom.
However, the bass fooked out at the time of fighting.

Maybe it had about 13lb.
Anything was not able to be fished after that and we landed.
I like "anostraight worm" from this day.

After friends went to their home, I had supper with another fishing friends at night.
They're Mr.Sugi-yan and Mr.Pirrot. They're not boater, but both love the big bass hunting.

We ate the chinese noodle while speaking the Giant bass.

It was a happy night for me.

21 November, in Lake Biwa

I went angling to Lake Biwa for five days from November 21.

At the first day I went with Mr.Yokoi who is my fishing friend.
He is also fisherman who has the aim of the Giant bass as well as me.

Though we planned setting sail of the boat at 7 a.m., We started fish around 10 a.m. because there was a trouble of the car early morning.

First, we went to look for the Giant from northernmost to the west area of Lake Biwa, but I wasn't found.
We had no bites time until the evening.


At the end, Mr.Yokoi fished a small size bass with the light rig.
It was really difficult day!

Deps's NEW lures

I got a new lures from Deps at the other days.

Slide swimmer 250

This is a large size of slide swimmer 175.
Though shape has changed a little according to the size, it does good movement.

I hear that Mr. Okumura who is the president company of Deps test it and to be fished only giant basses of 60cm over.
I want use this early!

Hyper football jig
1oz
3/4oz

This jig of 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz is sold now.
It's popular article which giant bass is often fished in Japan and I chiefly use it by the swimming.
Mr. Okumura is fishing giant basses for a long time by the swimming of the  jig.

I want to use a heavy-weight model of this rubber jig in the place where deep with the structure.

Another rubber jig is a swimming jig, named propp jig.

This shape is strange a little, propp has taken side forward.
It is a rubber jig that seems to demonstrate power at the next term that will become cold more in the future.

I think that Ｉ want you to use these lures popular in Japan also in foreign countries!
These are sure to satisfy you!!
