Once opening ceremony and address were done by Mr. Mistuo Suzuki, tournament rule was also explained by him.

The competition time had been changed from 14 pm to 13 pm to make weigh-in and closing ceremony smooth. As angler had an 1 hour shorter than before, time management is required for them.

Mutual tackle checking is indispensable

Due to the increasing number of angler, mutual tackle checking had been obligated each other

In the past, it had been done by H-1 organization.

 

By doing mutual tackle checking, both checking and checked side had to have a responsibility each other.

Angler is allowed to use only Hard bait for fishing Large mouth bass  at H-1 GPX.

Angler sometimes forgot taking off “Plastic worm” and “Trailer hook” from their tackle box.

They have to fill in the tackle check form after completing strict tackle check.

During the tackle checking, they can not help chatting about their tackle like rod, reel, lure and etc lol.

This is Japanese Bass fishing Style!

When angler set the rental boat, As 1 battery is not enough to support rental boat, angler usually use 2 batteries for tournament. Most of angler use high-power electric motor like Motor Guide Tour -82lb or 109lb . These electric motor power is quite dangerous to move small boats, therefore angler has to be careful when we use them by rental boat.

 

Of course, you know,  electric motor is usually used for supporting component of bass boat, but Japanese angler tend to use this electric motor as a main supply power to move small rental boats.

The reason is we unfortunately do not have enough water space inside Japan like America. In other words, opportunity angler use bass boat is very limited in Japanese Lake.

Shin Tone River’s water color

With regards to water color of Shin Tone River in spring season, it is very important to predict how much water is muddy.

Some people say muddy water makes bass be relaxed and fisherman can relatively easily catch a baas or get their bites.

TOP 5 pattern from Shin Tone River

You may guess weigh in style as follows if you had a experience to watch bass master series.

However, that is totally different lol.

Please see below. This is Japanese H-1 GPX weigh-in style!! How cool it is!!

You can see very famous professional anglers inside.. Their name is Mr. Daisuke Kita and Mr. Kazuki Origane.

Mr. Origane whom nick name is Orikin was 2016 H-1 AOY angler.

Mr. Daisuke Kita was 2016 JB TOP 50 AOY angler.

Unfortunately, though they could cull basses, they were disqualified from their penalties.

Orikin’s reason was run out of electric motor battery and Daisuke’s was lost of his entry cards.

Nobody had predicted this situation.

Mr. Daisuke Kita is super busy professional angler of JB TOP50 series, but he is going to join this H-1 GPX as possible as he can. So, we are very happy to know his intention!

Ok, let’s going back to each angler’s winning pattern.

Author who writes Namaro blog NEO has a good relationship with him. He gave beneficial advice for Namaro when he went to Mexico and fishing together with his bass boat last year. 

He is very core angler when he do a bass fishing in Shin Tone River because he usually focuses on big bait lure(Jackall Kawashi Mikey) or Chimushi handmade lures.

However, he surely had adjusted his fishing style to the way of tournament one.

He is very logical thinking angler and got 4th rank. His main sponsor is Nories and Hayabusa.

   He had cast it to the pile close to the bank and 2 times jerked&stop.This is effective way as a          
spring bass fishing pattern.
