Autumn

Forza Fiume!

This weekend I was fishing with the owner of Polish fishing brand Fiume, my new fishing friend Rafal. Odra river was unpredictable again and we had only few bites, 2 small zander and one not even small pike... but anyway I'm happy after weekend. I saw really nice part of Odra river, and learn a lot from Rafal who is one of the best fishermen in Poland. His life is all about fishing. Great competitor in match fishing technique, and very good in spinning fishing too, organizer of fishing competitions in Poland, producer of fishing rods and accessories and owner of Fiume company, fishing journalist and one of main actors in the fishing show on television TRWAM. Now you can imagine how impressed I am after these two days. Especially when he showed me a storehouse of his company and all these fishing rods and stuff he is producing... some are really great like his Guardian spin fishing series, and all rods gives you great values for your money. I hope he will spread distribution outside of Poland as soon as possible and I wish him all luck, and thanks for guiding me to Odra river. :)
I'm sure that fishermen from our town Rijeka will like the name of this brand if it comes to Croatia one day! :)

Some TV fishing material you can see on this link, you just pick the number of the show you would like to see.

And here is Hunter wobbler produced by one good friend of Rafal, made specially for asp fishing... really nice and unique lure, I will try it for asp on my river Sava. One of the most popular silicone lure brand in Poland is Relax... really great stuff for pike perch, pike and other predatory fish.

King and queen of river Sava

Yesterday was a day to remember! Tadey had one 91 cm long pike, and his father 92 cm long huchen. Real queen and king of river Sava near Radovljica town... Big sulec and ščuka, like they call it in Slovenia... Worth while catch... So congratulations to both happy fishermen!

Huchen fishing season started

Thanks to Tadej I know how does huchen looks this season. For me it is not possible to go for huchen fishing yet, but I'm glad that Tadej and his father are active again. This time they are catching with barbless jig hooks, so fish have more chance, but victory is much sweeter now. Even they have lost few fish, they are successful like always. See you Tadej, and have a big one!

VI Bass Fishing World Championship in Portugal, Alqueva

Full respect and congratulations for Croatian team, not only for being there, but for tremendous result achieved. Probably the best Croatian fisherman Josip Pecigoš and his colleague from the boat Siniša Pavlinić are individually 2nd at the World with great score.
Here are the results for first 3 boats on the World in year 2010.:
..................................................................................................................... penal.tot. |placement |weight| bass nr.| big bass
1 Mexico Box (B) Munch Alex, Munch Olaf |19,0| 3 -15 - 1| 13.402| 1 5 |1.988
2 Croatia Box (C) Pavlinic Sinisa, Pecigos Josip |22,0| 1 - 9 -12 | 9.964 | 1 5| 2.682 3
3 Portugal Box (A) Lopes Joaquim, Grosso João | 23,0| 14 - 7 - 2| 12.374| 1 5| 2.040
Complete Croatian team are at very good 7th place, and complete list looks like:
1. Portugal
2. Italy
3. Germany
4. Swaziland
5. Russia
6. Mexico
7. Croatia
8. Spain
9. Letonia
10. Poland
11. Romania
12. Venezuela
Just to mention that this is not the first World Championship fishing medal Josip Pecigoš won. Together with Željko Vedernjak, he was once 1.st at the World Carp Championship, so tell me is there any other fisherman at the World with 2 fishing medals from 2 complete different fishing category? My deep respect, and congratulations once more!

Sandacz from river Odra

Just a few pictures from my fishing trip to river Odra near Wroclaw (Poland). It seems to be hard fishing river to me, even it looks like river Sava near my town Zagreb. Pike perch, or sandacz on Polish is maybe the most popular fish here, among perch, pike and cat fish...

Kupa - long exposure photographs

Here are the photos of our friend Gregor from Slovenian town Kočevje. River Kupa is always interesting for shooting, this time in long exposure without fish and fishermen. Thank you Gregor! You can see more of his photography works on http://kostevc.blogspot.com/
