It is time for the Daily Flash Minnow Weekly Report! My very first Bass fishing this year was at the Irvine Lake with local regional, Brian. And speaking of Irvine Lake, it is known for having a lot of Trout, but you can fish some Bass here also! I started off using the new LLPT 105!

Unlike Saltwater fishing, when it comes to Bass fishing there will be much casting with pinpoint accuracy! It has been over 6 months since I started this project (Daily FM Report). And for the sake of fishing every week since, Brain who was on the same boat had said to me, “Your casting has gotten a lot better!” and praised me with such a nice comment. As for the fishing, the water has risen and was cloudy so using a topwater bait was a bit difficult. I continued to throw the LLPT 105S for more than half of the day, but got no bites! But I did get to practice my casting so it’s okay! I only had 2 hours left and really wanted to catch my very first fish of this year, so I decided to go with a Drop Jig and aim for the bottom area. Then… at about 15m in water depth, I caught my first fish of the year!!! And it was a Bass!! The size was pretty small, but I haven’t caught a Bass in awhile and this time I clearly felt it and was able to react to it as well.

P.S. I actually caught a big Trout with the Drop Jig also, but couldn’t take it home so I released it right away! It was huge!! It was about the same size as the Sea Bass I caught in Tokyo Bay.

See you soon!!
