Spring salmon season over

Today we pulled the boat out of the water in Simrishamn and went back to Mossen. The last 2 days gave only one fish each in the 5 kg class. But anyhow this season has been the best ever I experienced in the Baltic Sea so far and the amount of juvenile salmon gives a very good outlook of the years to come should the overall situation remain or improve, we'll see.
Our next fishing destination will be Hitra in Norway in mid June, before we need a few days rest and have to acquire some freezing capacities.

2 salmon 10+ and Seatrout 8.2 kg


After 2 days with to much wind I went out today around noon time and had a great fishing. In just a few hours I caught 2 salmon of 10.8 and 10.5 kg as well as a nice Seatrout of 8.2 kg which is my new personal best and a salmon of 3 kg. The south western wind has now moved the fish to their traditional places in front of Simrishamn.

Salmon 10.5 kg


Yesterday was the first day of the annual Fishing Competition in Simrishamn. I caught 1 salmon of 10.5 kg and lost 2 good ones in heavy water. Today I fished only a few hours as the wind was to hard later on. I had only one strike and nothing in the boat, the first day without fish. The fish are now very much one the move and you need a bit luck to hit them at the right moment and place. The next 2 days will be to much wind for fishing.

"Full Hand"


Todays fishing result, 5 salmon from 3 to 7 kg and 2 lost ones. I fished a hot spot with my friends from Team "Reel Fun" which yielded a lot of fish. We had a real race which lasted almost 3 hours.
Yesterdays fishing was slow and gave only a Seatrout of 5kg.
The picture of the day with the catch is a tribute to my wife, who is doing all the logistics on land while I'm on the water.

Full Pott at 09.45 AM


I went out at 6.00 o'clock, started fishing at 6.30 and had 3 fish in the boat after 20 minutes, than 2 hours nothing. Around 9.30 I went back to the spot of the morning and got a Fivehook, one went of immediately, one was only 58cm and the others were 7, 6 and 4 kg, Full Pott and back in the harbor around noon.
The next 2 days will be no fishing because of the wind and a needed rest.

3 nice salmon


Todays fishing gave 3 nice salmon weighing 10.3, 9.8 and 7.8 kg as well as one lost of the same caliber, although I was handicaped by loosing one downrigger base in the morning. Anyhow the fish were all caught on the same rod with the same spoon.
Finally some special greetings to the audience in Niestetal!

First day fishing in Simrishamn, 5 salmon


After 2 days with to much wind I fished the first time in Simrishamn and caught 5 salmon in the 4-5kg class and lost a good one.
The day had all weather from cloudy in the morning, sunny around noon and a snowstorm on the way home. There have been a few "limit" catches today, it looks as if there still a lot of fish around, it's only a bit difficult to get the big ones but there is plenty of time left.
