Hina catches a pin-spotted spinefoot, a poisonous fish that Makoto prepares for the club to eat. That night, Hina's mother cooks some whiting the neighbors gave her inspiring Hina to go fishing for whiting. While shopping for supplies, Hina is terrified by the ragworms the club is using as bait to catch whiting, but the store manager shows her some artificial bait that she can use instead. The club fishes for whiting from the beach, and while Natsumi, Yuki and Makoto have success, Hina struggles. She then realizes that the same techniques the others are using are not effective artificial bait. That night, Hina goes home to research how to fish using artificial bait determined to catch some whiting the next day.
