August

In August, the water temperature reaches its peak, and the summer pattern is in full swing. To escape the heat, bass move offshore to areas with flowing water or to deeper, temperature-stable waters. Finding the locations where bass and baitfish are linked will yield good fishing results.

In the south Lake Biwa, bass migrate along the weed outside edges of channels with good water flow, as well as offshore weed variations and hard bottoms. Effective techniques include weightless rigs, drop shot rigs, and neko rigs.

In the north Lake Biwa, bass gather around terrain changes with current, island, and weed beds. Brush piles and artificial reefs, where baitfish accumulate, can also be promising. You can enjoy catching large number using light rigs such as drop shot rigs and neko rigs. The northern part of Lake Biwa has clear water, making it possible to enjoy swimming on hot days.
