(Pic:Up) The red thing on the water you see is called
Torii, a sacred arch；a gateway at the entrance to
a Shinto shrine．There is a shrine up from there in
the mountain. I don't know why they built the torii
and the shrine there, though.
(pic:below) Yukiaki with bass. He pulled it out of
middle of nowhere, and it was quite deep. He said
lots of structures were down there.
(pic: right) Jun's second fish. A female 2 pounder.
Good fish.

Maybe someday.... we catch bass
again
Well, it only took 1.5 hours
when coming over Hakone. But I guessed going home will
take twice as much or more because we need to go through
Tokyo, the most heaviest traffic city in Japan. Thus,
we told Jun that we should leave the lake before the
traffic gets bad.
Because of that, we all only had a couple of more
hours to fish, so we decided to go to the other side
of the lake.
This area had much larger rocks on the bottom; moreover,
there were weeds. And spring water springs out the bottom,
too. It looked a lot better than the first spot.
Right after we moved in this area, Yukiaki caught
a 2 pounder. He used a jig and bumped on the bottom.
Lake Ashinoko is really a tough lake because you only
get to cast hardbaits. It's real clear water, and bass
are very pressured by anglers as well. However, it's
nice to fish here due to the great scenery. My wife
said she doesn't need to hold a rod but just float on
the water and look at the nature... Good point.
How many did I catch? Forget about it. |
