Carp Stalking

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 11:23:00 +0000

In order to broaden my horizons, I have recently focused more intently on fly fishing. I find the active pursuit of carp in spring particularly exciting. Scouting for the fish and targeting them on sight is extremely thrilling. It is genuinely fascinating to observe how cautious and adaptable carp are.

Especially shallow areas and small canals serve as the absolute hotspots during the spring season.

Baltic Sea - Sea trout

Thu, 28 May 2026 11:20:00 +0000

Year after year, I travel to the Baltic Sea to fish for sea trout. This year's trip was particularly thrilling as we were blessed with perfect sea trout weather. Favorable winds and the resulting good currents allowed for fantastic angling for the 'fish of a thousand casts.' I focused intently on fly fishing, a decision that was ultimately rewarded with success.

Good weather, great fish, good times.

Toman Fishing in Malaysia

Fri, 15 May 2026 11:17:00 +0000

While on a business trip to Malaysia, I had the rare opportunity to spend my free time on a very special fishing excursion: targeting Toman. What at first seemed like a spontaneous side trip quickly evolved into one of the most thrilling fishing experiences of my life.

Anyone who has the opportunity to fish for Toman in Malaysia should absolutely seize it – it is an adventure that uniquely combines angling, nature, and raw thrills.

"Tanz in den Mai"

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:14:00 +0000

The trout season has been open for some time, yet there has been little opportunity for soft bait fishing so far. As is well known, trout stay very close to the riverbed early in the season. For this precise reason, a soft plastic lure is often an excellent choice.

The successful lure in this instance was the 6cm perch soft plastic (BG06).

Cold Water, Big Lures

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:38:00 +0000

In the dead of winter, I like to go for big lures. In my experience, the strikes on what seems like oversized prey are especially decisive. With cold water temperatures, I’ve honestly had nothing but good experiences so far.

The successful lure in this case was the 19 cm Hechtgummi (HG19).

Nice double trouble

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 10:34:00 +0000

Two decent zander in one evening — that actually happens quite rarely in my waters. Still, it’s always great to see that they’re still around.

The lure of the day was the ZG17 in gold glitter.

Pike Likes Perch

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:31:00 +0000

During the cold days, I came up with a few new designs and sprayed various models with them. In fact, so many that I can hardly keep up with actually fishing them all :-D

Short, cold days don’t exactly make it any easier to get off the couch either.

Here being tested: the HG15 — the 15 cm version of the “Hechtgummi”.

Fat Winter Pike

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 11:27:00 +0000

Sometimes you just need a bit of luck. After the temperatures became a little more pleasant again over the last few days, I had to head out and pull a few soft plastics through the water. I was quite surprised when, at dusk, the rod suddenly bent over hard.

The fat pike couldn’t resist a prototype HG13.

The Mandatory Christmas Zander

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 20:31:00 +0000

As almost every year, the mission was to catch a Christmas zander. The additional challenge was my personal harvest window, which is unfortunately very narrow and lies between 62 cm and 68 cm. But it worked out ;-)

The successful lure, as so often, was my ZG13 in the original gold/brown glitter color.
