Anyone know any good fishing spots?

anywhere really, I'm not picky

...you know what, I take that back, don't suggest any place that's ayakashi infested.
Other than that, not picky.

If recent posts indicate anything, the rivers around here are good for catfish.

Do you mind urban fishing locations or prefer something in nature? Saltwater or freshwater? Do you want to stay near Tokyo or do you have a shrine in other areas?

[eluci]

Urban or rural is fine

Saltwater's better, I haven't done a lot of that

I have more shrines outside of Tokyo, but I don't mind staying around Japan if I can catch anything.

[unlucky7]

For urban fishing locations, might I suggest Benkeibashi Boat Pier near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station? They offer pier or boat fishing with the cost of gear included in the entrance fee. There's also Ichigaya Fishing Centre near Ichigaya Station if you prefer a more catch-and-release style of fishing.

For saltwater fishing, there are plenty of charter companies operating out of Tokyo Bay. Can't go wrong with heading to Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture or Ohara in Chiba Prefecture either. Both are pretty accessible by train (or shrine-hopping). It'd also be remiss of me to not suggest heading to Okinawa. A further trip, but a truly beautiful area.

You like fish? I'll help you. I don't know any but I'm sure we can find some. The central district seems to be a good place to start.

[eluci]

I like catching them more than eating them, but yeah.

The central district? Up here?

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Ah I like eating them more than catching them, we make a good team!

[He grinned.] Apparently, some cats caught a massive one there. But I'm sure there are plenty of spots down on earth too.

[eluci]

I saw the video. Never thought I'd be jealous of a bunch of cats.

[Even though he's caught at least one fish nearly the size of him before.]

Gotta be. But I don't want to search forever to find them, so I'm asking around.

If you want some, I'll bet I can catch enough for both of us.

[thetopofthefoodchain]

You should be jealous of cats. [As a human, he's far inferior to them and therefore should look up at them and wish to be in their place.] Has anyone recommended anywhere to you?

[He does want fish. Da Qing always wants fish.] I can help, or at least keep you company if you want.]

[eluci]

[Da Qing you're going to get fat(ter).]

only those cats. but i wouldn't mind the ability to sleep all day if I could.

[Like he doesn't sometimes anyway.]

a few places. gonna look them up and see if they're worth looking at later.

sure, I can let you know when I'm going anywhere.

[He's somewhat surprised, and stares at his phone for several seconds before sending the last bit. No one's really stopped him from going fishing before unless it interfered with school or some royal function, but at the same time, no one's actually offered to accompany him either.]

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Sleeping all day is fun, but sleeping for two weeks is much less fun. You miss a lot.

[He has no memories, obviously, of ever going fishing but it sounds like it might be fun. Or if it's not he can nap whilst the human catches the fish, that also sounds fun.]

Thanks, I'm sure I'll see you soon then.

[eluci]

Never done that before.

[The time he spent in a coma as a kid could probably count, but he doesn't.]

well yeah, two weeks is a long time to be out.

[thetopofthefoodchain]

It is. Try not to do it!

The canals are stocked, if you don't mind catching fish who talk.

[eluci]

wait, like actual TALKING talking or just repeating words?

dunno if I want anything I might eat talking to me beforehand.

[reformedsinner]

I don't think they're that intelligent. Their poetry is terrible.

[eluci]

So they just

recite bad poetry?

[reformedsinner]

And play pranks.

Would you like recipes? I do have a few good ones for carp.

[eluci]

Fun.

I'll take them. I'm no cook, but I'll pass them on to my shinki.

[reformedsinner]

Here you are.

I have no idea about The Far Shore, but you could probably figure something out for the other one by looking at travel brochures.

[eluci]

I've looked up some places online.

I'm looking for recommendations from people.

[trustheart]

Ah, sorry. I haven't fished, so I guess I'm kind of at a disadvantage here.

[eluci]

Wanna learn? I can teach you.

[trustheart]

... I dunno. I've never thought about it before.

I guess it couldn't hurt though. I'm not gonna have to bait worms or something gross like that though, am I?

[eluci]

yeah, unless you get your hands on some good lures.

or food scraps.

[Like carrots. He highly recommends those.]

[trustheart]

Yeah uh, can we get those?

I don't wanna lose my lunch while doing this.

[eluci]

that's gross

I'll see what I can find.

[trustheart]

Thanks a lot.

If you're looking for fish, I know plenty of places with same-day catches! They taste incredible.

[eluci]

Oh?

Cool, but I'm looking for places I can catch my own fish more.

[handsome_genius]

Oh? Is there a certain kind of fish that you're trying to catch because you can't find it at these stores?

[eluci]

No, I just like fishing. it's great when you land one you've never tried before, or a huge one.

I caught one nearly as long as I am tall, it was awesome.

[handsome_genius]

AS LONG AS YOU ARE TALL??? THAT'S A MONSTER, NOT A FISH!

[eluci]

Nah, it was definitely a fish.

[handsome_genius]

I fail to see how a fish that big still counts as a fish.
