Duo Tide Minnow Sprint 75

Duo Tide Minnow Sprint 75 is the smallest lure in Tide Minnow series. It has amazing rolling action, and responds brilliantly to twitching and jerking techniques. It is something like bigger version of Ryuki, and this is why I love it. TM Sprint 75 is brilliant in fast water, as well as in the sea. Two types of fish that can behave similarly, although one is toothless and the other armed with sharp teeth, like it very much. Toothless sweet-water predator asp is frantic hunter who furiously chase prey under the surface and at the surface of the river. Some walk-dog top water lure is the best lure for asp at the surface, while bellow surface of the river you can hardly find better lure than Tide Minnow Sprint 75. You can jerk it, twitch it or roll it, anyway it is overwhelming. With same nervous underwater action you can provoke bite of "sometimes hard to catch" sea fish Bluefish. Same like asp, sometimes  they are active on the sea surface, but sometimes they react well on sinking lures like this one. At the end, don't forget this lure is popular among other seawater fish like sea bass or needle fish. http://duo-inc.co.jp/en/saltwater/tide-minnow/tide-minnow-75-sprint/

Ryobi Trappers lures

Ryobi Trappers lures are available in Croatia at Fish & Fun shop in Zagreb. Great lures with nice action, equipped with high quality VMC hooks. Minnow shape made them perfect for seabass, pikeperch, asp and pike fishing.
+++
Ryobi Trappers voblere možete kupiti u Zagrebu u trgovini Fish & Fun na Knežiji (ulica Rudolfa Bićanića 42). Riječ je o odličnim i kvalitetnim varalicama koje će se sigurno dokazati i na našim vodama. Nekolicina modela koje smo imali prilike vidjeti razlikuju se u izgledu, performansama i akciji, te svaki od njih može naći primjenu u nekoj situaciji na rijeci, jezeru ili moru. Opremljeni su super kvalitetnim morskim VMC trokukama i prema minnow izgledu odlično će poslužiti u varaličarenju brancina, smuđeva, bolena i štuka. Siguran sam da ćemo tijekom sezone izvještavati o ulovima ostvarenim na Ryobi voblere.

Mrzla Vodica, new C&R water

Good news from Gorski Kotar. Lake Mrzla Vodica in now under Catch and Release regime, and this is good for protection of big pike, trout and carp that lives there. We recommend this lake as one of top destinations for this season, and  be prepare for meeting "the jaws" like this one at the photo ;)

U potpunosti je otvorena za ribolov a dnevna karta će se prodavati po cijeni od 80kn (60kn + 20kn za ekologiju).

Obavezno preporučamo kao jednu od top destinacija ove sezone i budite spremni na susret sa raljama kakve se ne susreću baš svaki dan.

DUO lures underwater action 1 / Minnow 80SP & Flatside 54SR

It's time to see how Duo lures work underwater.
There will be more videos in the future, all helpful to see what type of lure action you need.
Realis Minnow 80SP and Flatside 54SR are great lures for bass, but also suitable for almost any other type of predatory fish.

Eging squid fishing

... the best part of squid season is in front of us ;)

Chub fishing at minus 19 degrees Celsius

My friend Vladimir Cep from Slovenia sent me these cool photos taken on river Sava near Radeče. He was fishing with Monarch Lures and he had a dozen of chub. It was so cold, he couldn't hold fish in his hands, so they shoot only a few photos. Temperature was -19 degrees Celsius! The only way to withstand such a low temperature is that you are well dressed, and Prologic Max 4 Comfort Thermal Suit is one of the best choices for fishing at cold weather. Trust me, I have one and it successfully protects me against low temperatures, I does not even consider winter fishing without it. Thanks Vlado for this white, winter report :)

Good old days...

A few old photos of my friends and me. Beautiful graying and Peki, my first carp on the fly, Domagoj at river Sava and Zac with carp. I know some friends will be glad about this photos ;) Photos were taken with Minolta x-300 in nineties and were published in magazines Sportski Ribolov and Udica. Good old film photography...

Seaspin Pro Q

 This year I played a lot with top water lures. Not with many models but the most of the time I did it with Seaspin Pro Q model. This lure is great for seabass. Since I didn't have many fishing days at the sea this year, where I have lost only one pretty big seabass (went with my lure), and got one bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix), the most of the time I fished at freshwater. Model ProQ 90 is great for blackmouth bass and for nice river top water predator Asp. With bigger model ProQ 120 I had a great time with pike. So if you have chance to buy it somewhere I can highly recommend it.
