遠方からワンコを連れて山中湖に行ったので預ける事も出来ずだったのですけれど釣りをしている間もワンコ達と一緒にいられ安心して楽しめました。貸切で手ぶらでいけて釣り方等も丁寧に教えていただきました。釣った分を天ぷらにして貰えるお店も紹介してもらえて美味しくいただきました。今回は釣果は良くなかったのでまた行けたらこの船でリベンジしたいと思います。

今回初めてドーム船でワカサギ釣りをさせてもらいました。スタッフの人は話しやすくわかりやすく説明して貰えたので良かったです。 2/17は山中湖周辺の気温が3~5℃位で寒かったのですが、ドーム船はビニールハウスみたいで、中は暖房があり、日もでてたので暖かく、上着を脱ぐ程でした。日がでてない場合は寒いかもしれないので防寒は必須です。 2月は産卵の時期で釣れにくいとのことでした。 確かに釣れる時間と連れない時間があるようで、8-13時の釣りでしたが、10人で50匹程度でした。 座る場所が少し違うだけで、ワカサギの群れに仕掛けが入らず釣れない事もあります。この辺は魚相手なので仕方ありません。釣果に差はあるものの全員がボウズになることはありませんでした。湖の底を感じ取ることが出来ればボウズにはならないと思います。 釣れたワカサギは、卵を持っているものもおり、天ぷらにした時に苦味もなくあっさりしててとても美味しく食べる事が出来ました。 竿に当たり外れがあり、硬い竿に当たるとワカサギの繊細なアタリを取る事が難しかったです。 釣るのが難しいこの時期は、竿が揺れるだけでも来た!と言う楽しみがあるので、たまたま私のが硬かったようですが、竿先が柔らかいものを全員に行き渡るようにお願いしたいです。 ニゴイも釣れてみんなでわいわ楽しく釣りが出来ました。ありがとうございました

1年前のレビューです。 現在私が本格的にワカサギ釣りをやっているからこそ余計に怒りが込み上げてきますが、レンタル竿が酷いものが混じっていたり、仕掛け渡して「裏の説明書き読んでやってください」で釣り方の説明なし。 7人で1匹しか釣れませんでした。 自然が相手なので釣れない日ももちろんありますが、他のドーム船の釣果を見たらその日は釣れる日でした。 群れが通るポイントを選べない、途中で移動もしてくれない、酷いです。 2度と行きません。

ネット予約では8時から体験となっていましたが、8時からはできず7時からにしてくださいといわれました。これを楽しみに河口湖に行こうと思っていたので大変残念です。理由を聞いたら、コロナが落ち着いた12月にも関わらず、時短影響のためとのことでした。 そのほか、間違えて二重に予約をして、一つキャンセルしていただくようにお願いしたら、両方ともキャンセルされました。 ネット予約では正しい情報ではないかもしれず、誤った対応をされるかもなので、電話とかで確認したほうが良いと思います。
