"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.

2 salmon

Todays fishing was a bit more difficult than yesterday due to less fish and more boats in the area.
I caugth 2 salmon of 7 and 4 kg and 2 undersized.

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.

First part of salmon season over

Today we pulled the boat out of the water, tomorrow it will go for service and on Saturday we're heading to Simrishamn. The first part of Vänern fishing is over, there might be some fishing end of May depending on the water temperature and the migration of the salmon.
The expectations for the fishing in the Baltic Sea are high as the last month has been extra ordinary.

Finally 3 salmon in the boat

Today I finally managed to get 3 salmon in the boat, but as I was accompanied by my neighbor Kristoffer it wasn't "Full Pott". Kristoffer is normally good for 4 fish as he was today as well, the 4th one was a big and hard fighting "Monster"-wild-salmon of around 8 kg which we had to release. We caught also 2 small salmon, a good fishing day after yesterdays empty tour.

Double Hook

Same spot and same time as yesterday but today a double hook which resulted in 2 salmon of 4 kg each, plus an undersized short after. I stopped fishing around noon as the wind was to much for serious trolling.
Tomorrow will be bait fish action again!

Salmon 8.7 kg

Today's fishing resulted in a salmon of 8.7 kg and a trout of 4 kg. I had 4 strikes in the morning in the time of 2o minutes from which one was the big salmon plus 2 lost and 1 wild salmon. The trout came around noon time in nice and sunny weather.
Yesterdays bait fish session gave 230 bleak in 4 hours.

2 salmon again

Today's fishing gave again 2 salmon of 5 and 3 kg and 1 undersized. Tomorrow will be no trolling instead I will try to catch some Bait fish in the harbor.

2nd day fishing, 2 salmon

After a few days with to much wind and some gardening work I went fishing for the second time and caught 2 salmon from 5 and 3 kg. One came early in the morning, the other one in the late afternoon.
Tomorrow will be fishing again before the wind comes back.

2011 salmon season opened

Today was the opener of the 2011 salmon season. We launched the boat on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday had bad weather.
I caught 2 salmon, 1 x 4 kg and one wild salmon with approx. 7 kg, which I released. The water is still very cold with 2.3 degC only and the fish are not very active.
