Angler : Mr. Nomura
Place : Lake Biwa, Japan
Lure : Bellows Stick(# Morning Dawn) / Decker 8(# Clear Red)” / Moon Curly 4″(# Lake Gill)
Rod : Double Dutch The Merry DD-75H

 

One day fishing trip.
I found a largemouth bass swimming around near shore.
It seemed not to hit a lure but seemed to suspend.
Not to draw fishing pressure, I let it swim and cast my lure to offsore.
After that, I dropped Bellows Stick / Texas rig / 5g into water.
When I added action to my lure, the suspended bass hit it. I successfully set the hook firmly and caught the nice largemouth bass.It was over 50 cm long.

 

When I was using Decker8″ / Carolina rig to locate offshore bass, I had a bite!
I caught one more bass on Decker, but it was smaller than the first Decker fish.

 

In the afternoon, I had few bites.
Searched for fish in a hard bottom area by using Moon Curly4″.
I added one action to it and let it stay.
Largemouth bass over 55 cm long took the bait!

The technique I used was like this.
Cast my lure and move it along the bottom.
Let it touch weeds or something and bounce it off the bottom just a little bit and stay.
It was really effective and I had a lot of bites.
Lots of Geecrack field testers use this fishing technique.
I watched the fishing movies and learnt the technique.

Catching fish by sight fishing was the most exciting and rewarding on the day!
