2025 - April 5th - Nyköping

With the match being called off it gave Mats and i a chance to clear some pegs out ready for the future matches . I arrived about 07:30am and started to hack down all the stalks from pegs 1-4 . Mats arrived and we started on enlarging all other pegs.

 

Peg 1 is the rock in the water 

Then peg 2 

Then further pegs further to the right 

Cut out several pegs and made better - in video i missed out peg 7 but the section still gave us 12 pegs 

Mats started of really well and had 8 fish before my first . Then i started to take Ide and Mats also with Bream . I could not catch one and so Mats feeling sorry for me took his latest captured Bream into my net so i did not go without 😂😂😂😂

However Mats continued to catch well and soon amassed 20 plus fish ( i estimated he had 26). Mats stopped fishing at 15:30pm but i carried on for another hour and i took a total of 18 ide and 4 Bream .

Hooray!, my first Bream of the day and not a free one from Mats 😂😂😂😂

At 16:30pm i decided to call it a day as i was still quite cold and wind blasted 

2025 - April 3rd - Trosa

Exceptional warm weather had descended upon Central Sweden and the window of opportunity beckoned as the coming weekend looked rather grim with cold and wind !?!?! 

Fave place on the corner was commandeered again when i arrived about kl 09:00am , i was fishing by 09:45am ish .....first 5 casts was 5 roach .....this place is insane!

Glorious Trosa - Mecca of so many species of fish and rich in weights to earn.

With so many Ide thrashing the surface i tried up in water tactics but it failed however i changed to 6m whip and took the only stamp Ide of the day

 

Some of these Roach were staggering with many in the 1-1.5lb bracket (450-700gr ) A few were approaching 2lb (900gr) 

Net 1 about 100 fish plus a good ide for about 20 kilos (45lb) 

Net 2 - a lot more fish and more weight as it was a struggle to lift up - i estimated about 150 fish for about 35 kilos (75lb)
