Two fish, one lure

New ff season, the countdown has begun...

The new fly fishing trout season begins on the 1st of March here in Croatia. You can try your luck on some other rivers in Croatia and the surrounding area, but we recommend you Vitunjcica and Gacka rivers. Both are very cold, and water level can be very high during this period, but I believe that after the long winter period the heart of real fly fisherman will be happy by the fact that once again we can even try to catch and release our beloved trout, no matter how successful will be in the first days of the new fly fishing season. Tight lines!

Bozicna akcija u Topfishing-u

U Topfishing-u na adresi Jablanska 82 u Rudešu, od 9. prosinca kreće božićna akcija (traje do 14. prosinca) na kojoj će kompletan asortiman biti snižen za 20% za gotovinu, a 15% na sve kartice, te uz samu akcijsku prodaju, početi će i nagradna igra u kojoj će najsretniji kupac osvojiti „Poklon bon od 5000,00 kn u Topfishing-u“. Kako sudjelovati u nagradnoj igri? Vrlo jednostavno: s kupnjom robe od 200 kuna, dobijete kupon kojeg ispunjavate i bacate u nagradnu kutiju, a ako recimo potrošite 1000,00 kn, dobivate 5 takvih kupona. Znači, 200 kn=1 kupon, a 31.01, će se u 18.00 sati u Topfishing-u izvući sretan dobitnik koji će kući otići s robom u iznosu od 5000,00 kn, a najbitnije je spomenuti da je roba po izboru...
Uz akcijsku prodaju, „Sexy Baka Mraz“ je naredila ekipi u Topfishing-u da organiziraju i varaličarski Kup koji je dobio naziv „Sexy Baka Mraz“, koji će se održati na jezeru Ontario 22.prosinca ove godine...

Pike fishing at Oresje lake

This is short teaser for those who are thinking of where to go for pike fishing near Zagreb.
Oresje lake is good option. Daily fishing license will cost you just 60 kn (less than 10 euros) for what you can have great fun at the lake, especially if you like top water action. Weedless lures are recommended in grassy areas with water lilies. Also, you can try with top water frogs or any other type of lures.  Fly fishing with big pike streamers is also good option. For more info about lake you should visit site http://www.srd-oresje.com/ .

Peđini vobleri i jerkovi

Jedna od najljepših stvari u ribolovu je kada prevarite ribu na umjetni mamac koji ste sami izradili. 
Peđa izrađuje voblere već dugi niz godina i uspješno lovi njih. U međuvremenu širi se krug ribolovaca koji imaju prilike isprobati ove kvalitetne, ručno izrađene varalice, a posebno su popularni Peđini jerkovi za lov štuka. Izrađeni od mahagonija gotovo su neuništivi, pa će pokoja štuka prije ostati bez zuba, nego naškoditi varalici. Ako se želite pridružiti Kruni, Mrvi i ostalim ribolovcima koji se igraju ovim šarenim igračkama ili imate svoje ideje za izradu voblera koje ne možete samostalno sprovesti u dijelo, slobodno se javite Peđi (0915491786).

White color

White is perhaps the most effective color for many types of fish, especially for nocturnal predators like pike perch.

Missing lure

After a long time I went to short fishing at the river Sava, and it was good. In three hours of fishing I had 2 chub, 2 pike perch and I was quite surprised when I saw that lure (Duo Vibration 68) completely disappeared in the throat of this decent asp.

Searching for seabass

Night catfish sessions

Duo Realis Crank M65 8A is a definitely my new catfish favorite lure. Originally made for bass, but is excellent for European catfish too. Especially during my night sessions on a local river. After just a few fishing with this lure, it forced me to have complete confidence in him. Holding and slowly retrieving it in the river, you can feel wobbling action and vibration at any time. His floating abilities are perfect for summer time, because it will not grab weed so much from the bottom, like other sinking lures do, and you can control the depth of the dive. And catfish like it so much. Just give it at least 15 minutes of chance to bite it at one good spot, and than change spot for another. If catfish is swimming around, it will be attracted by sound and vibrations of this lure. During night while hunting the prey, catfish are swimming close to the surface. Once they meet this lure, attack will follow, and do not be surprised if lure will be found deeply in catfish throat.
