West Coast Fishing

New year and new possibilities.

Right now we have a winter that seams to be ending in July. Almost half a meter of snow and the sea is coverd with ice. Hopefully we will have an erlier spring then last year. All we can do is waiting.

I might go out on the ice this year. Not so tempting right now when I sit here in the warm appartment, but mabye I find a new hobby in icefishing.

If I get out there I will tell you how the fishing was. If not, I’ll write again as soon the water is open again.

Been out for an hour just before sunset. Qurious if the pikes were in the shallows. Tried for pikes in shallow water some weekends without any contacts, but today the firts one were there. No gigant, 4kg and 82cm, but damn, he was strong

Look good for upcoming trips. From now I’ll write after every trip, even the bad ones.

The summer and beginig of the autum haven’t been to much fishing, and not to much fish either. But now it’s start to looks good. Will go for pike mostly but also some trips out on the sea if the weather allows me to.

Keep looking on the blogg for uppdates

Went out fort a short trip with the boat to check if the mamas still were in the shallow water for spawning. Diden’t start to well. Just two small ones during the first hour of fishing. Hard winds from southeast (8-10m/s) and just above 10 Celcius in the air. Water temp pending beween 6,8 and 8,0 Celcius.

Me and friend Peter wear about to go back and just face the fact that spawning were over. But still I wanted Peter to get a new personal best on pike. The poor guy have tried so many times to go over his 3,9 kg and 84 cm as a personal best and I know there is bigger fish in the area than that, even if they are spawning or not. So we decided to stay for at least one more hour. And that was the best hour for a long time for Peter. I lost a BIG one and Peter caught 2 smaller ones. Yes, they are here. 10 min later it was Peters turn to get somthing bigger on the hooks. And sure it was big. Success!!! Peter wiped out his old PB of 3,9kg to the new one of 8,6 kg and 101cm!

I lift my hat of and say congratulations!

8,6 kg and 101 cm

During the last weekend in April I went to Öland to join Havsöring cup 2010. This is an annual competition and this year it was 10th anniversary. For me it was the second time in the competition.

How did it go? Well, not to good. About 60 compedeters did fish for two days (saturday and sunday) and less than 10 fishes were caught. three of these were big enough for the competition, biggest of 3,08kg.

A long and cold winter may explain some of the bad fishing. Low water temperatures and not the best wheather. Lest hope for some better fishing next year.

2 nice trouts caught by Johan Bjelkendal the day before the competition
