Trolling in Sweden before the doom!

The fishing in the Baltic sea out of Sweden has been remarkable this year but it looks that it will be over soon.
The same useless Swedish Fishing Authorities who have ruined the fishing on Vänern with their miss management are now planning to do the same with the fishing in the Baltic Sea by introducing some brainless regulations.
Their plan is that it should be allowed only to take fish with their adipose fin (fettfena) cut off (a marking which is used by Swedish hatched fish only) pretending to save the wild stock of salmon in the Baltic's.
From all the hatched and stocked salmon in the Baltic's only a small amount is swimming around without that fin.
For instance from the 15 salmon I caught this year, only 4 would have be legal, which is ridiculous.
The lunatic who wrote the proposal means that there will be no commercial impact by setting this rule, he is wrong!
God knows how many thousands of Euro's we're spending in Sweden every year, the Trolling Fishing is the only reason for that.
Should this regulations come into force we're going on to fish from Bornholm and spend our money in Danmark as lot of other Trolling Angler will do as well!

4 salmon again

I fished today with Team "Reel Fun" in an area where we had good success last year and the fish were around  again. I got 4 salmon from 9.5, 9.2, 6.5 and 5 kg as well as 3 released and 3 lost. A real good fishing in the morning were I hardly could bring all  the rods back in the water.

Half day fishing, 2 x 11 kg

Today I fished only a half day due to hard wind. I got the first fish around 9.00 o'clock, a salmon of 11 kg followed by a small one, which was released. Than the wind became to strong, so I headed home wards.

Three miles in front of the harbor I decided to pull the lines. Having only 2 rods left in the water  I got an unexpected strike, followed by a tough 20 minutes fight and I could net one more salmon of 11kg.
Tomorrow will be to much wind, next outing on Thursday.

A hell of a fishing day

Today was quit a remarkable fishing day. I started early in the morning in the area I fished the last days and got immediately a fish on which went off again, followed by 5 hours without any action.
Around noon I got the next strike, off again. Immediately after a real monster hook, one off the surface rods went off and the reel was screaming. The fish emptied the reel half in no time, a big one was on. With the strike the wind started blowing and I had no chance to bring the fish closer, so I cleaned the rods on one side including the planer board and drove circles to close distance to the fish.
As soon as I got him to the boat he crossed at the back and went to the other side than to the front and back to the original side again, I had to follow with the rod climbing around the boat in high seas. After another 10 minutes I finally could net him, the weight in the harbor was 14.7 kg.

This was not enough, the next fish of 6.5 kg was hooked on the tail, another tough fight and finally on the way home one planerboard line broke but I could rescue the board. One more small salmon of 4.8 kg closed the business, not to mention that I lost 3 more fish in the tough weather.

2nd day Simris, 2 salmon

Today wasn't as good as the last one. I got 2 salmon of 9.5 and 4.5 kg and lost 2. The wind became too strong around noon, so I had to finish earlier.

Simrishamn, 4 nice salmon

First day fishing in Simrishamn gave 4 nice salmon,   being 11.8, 10.7, 9.4 and 8.4 kg as well as 2 small ones released.  Got some good tips from the "Kung of Östersjön" aka "Baronen".  That was the right medicine after the shit on Vänern.
