Lophius piscatorius (frog-fish or sea-devil) and squids



Over the past decade, my dear friend Zeljko Vedernjak became one of the most respected marine anglers in Croatia (and not only marine ;)). Specializing in fishing for Dentex, during winter time he spends a lot of time in the squid fishery. This is a time for big squids like this 2 beauties held by Zeljko and his frend Ivan. This weekend Zeljko had an unusual catch. Frog-fish is pretty rare fish in a coastal areas, and this one 4 kg heavy fish is real trophy caught from the coast. Frog-fish took dead bait fish mounted on the jig head. What a great catch!

Invazivna vrsta raka u našim vodama

Državni zavod za zaštitu prirode objavio je važnu obavijest o pojavi strane i invazivne vrste raka u rijeci Korani, a već prije se pojavio i u Muri. Posebno je štetan jer prenosi račju kugu, ugrožava populacije domaćih slatkovodnih rakova, te mijenja morfologiju riječnih obala. Na linku možete vidjeti usporedbu sa domaćim rakom, te obilježja prema kojima ga možete prepoznati, a ukoliko ga uočite obavezno obavijestite Državni zavod za zaštitu prirode ( 01 55 02 900; vrste@dzzp.hr )

Dead season in February


I can not wait
March and the fly fishing season beginning! What we can catch in February? Not much! It's complete dead fly fishing season. Spinning? Pike fishing is prohibited, because they are spawning. The lakes are covered with thick ice, and temperatures are extremely low these days, even at -20 degrees. The most heroic fishermen can go to some of our rivers and try to catch pike perch. Dress nice and warmly and go to the river Sava, Drava or Danube to fish this beautiful fish.
And take a lot of silicone fish lures and jig heads. Here are 3 photos of my friend Igor and his nice fish, and two of mine. All fish were released back. Igor's biggest in this period is 82 cm, almost 5 kg. But remember that Sava is hiding much bigger pike perch, and Dunav is well known for his capital trophy fish. Check this one ;) http://fishingincroatia.blogspot.com/2011/02/28213.html
