Thank You, Mr. Jim! — A Sawara Casting Day on Tokyo Bay
Mr. Jim joined Captain Sato and crew member Mr. Ito for a private sawara casting trip during his seventh visit to Japan.
From the moment we met, our AI translation earbuds helped us talk, laugh, and share fishing tips naturally. It felt as though we had known each other for years.
Conditions on the bay were tough that morning, and we will be honest — we were a little nervous.
And then… BOOM!
That was when the veteran angler showed us exactly what he is made of: a beautiful Spanish mackerel on the line, with great casting and perfect timing. Nice one, Mr. Jim!
Just as memorable as the catch was Mr. Jim’s warm and easygoing personality. Thank you so much for a wonderful day with the BLEU LANE team.
We are already looking forward to welcoming you back on board. See you next time, Mr. Jim!

Plan Your Tokyo Bay Fishing TripA Family Fishing Adventure from Florida, USA
A family visiting Japan from Florida—four adults and two children under 12—joined Captain Sato for a private fishing trip on Tokyo Bay. Under our child policy, the two children count as one adult, so the six family members traveled together at the five-guest rate. The family landed Spanish mackerel over 90 cm, cutlassfish, and Japanese sea bass—and created wonderful family memories together on the water.
Thank you to this family for choosing BLEU LANE YOKOHAMA. We hope to welcome them back to Tokyo Bay on their next visit to Japan!
