Nice to see you again! for this time in Sweden
I accepted Andy's invitation
Designated driver for this trip :D
Hope you can see him in the driver's seat
An invitation for pike fishing
in 3 different places, one of them at a fishing tournament
First fishing spot will be at Dorotea
After that we leave for Katisavan, for the competition
Where we'll have a training day
and 2 days for the competition, and a 3rd location I can't pronounce
from what we've heard it's something special
where it's assumed we'll catch some big pike
let's see what's going to happen
Cristi, he's a over 100cm pike virgin
BRAKE!!!!
f.... Andy Arif... i dropped my phone
Your Pokemon dyed?!
Boanta, as usual, was playing Pokemon go
I wasn't playing!
Don't lie!
I was listening...
Let the adventure begin!
It's there
It's something really small
First catch... something "special". Promising start with Rapala X-Rap Deep 10
A "beautiful" perch
A side note
The Deeper Pro Sonar is an excellent holiday sonar, when packing light really matters
On the right 2D sonar, what shows both bottom hardness and grass. On the left bathymetric map
End of side note
It jumped right out of the water
There it is!
A pike just showed up under the lure
Right under the boat
I just saw something flashing
Which couldn't have been the lure, as it was just sitting there, doing nothing.
And thinking we were fishing for big pike...
And this is what you catch
Smaller than the smallest so far :)
This lure's action is just amazing
You only have one, as usual?! 3 this time!
"3 but not all 3 the same colour... Live Perch (PEL)
I certainly didn't notice my snap opened at some point...
Come on... calm down
Wait... I'll give you one as well
You're looking in vain! It's a slow sinking lure! Take this one back
i have another one!
It's slow sinking! Damn it!
I didn't notice the snap had opened
May be I'll learn something out of this!
See... I just bragged I have 3
Maybe if I hadn't...
You think pikes here see boats and lures all day...
I lost confidence really fast And I reached for something as big, but with the same pattern, PEL
"I didn't change it till the end, and this is what happened"
It happened when you turned the camera of?
A "small" perch... heavy weight
The guys from the other boat demand a sacrifice for dinner
I demand a photo!
for this beauty!
This one is more energic!
She took it really deep...
"For how well things have gone so far... we were amazed to have the second pike in a very small area"
This is larger than the previous one caught here
Come to papa
You want to jump right in the boat?
I might need some help
And most definitely a picture
She's gone...
alive and well
There she is!
it looks like...
it's a bigger one Boanta
It was!
We just hit the jack pot
Not a biggen
Just much bigger than the rest
She's in her 90's
I don't know... hold this
Katisavan COMPETITION
Here she is!
Robert... speaking on the phone with someone from back home
Tell him to leave us alone... so we can fish
You have it?
Yes but she's coming towards me
Is it big?
I don't know
Caught it with the perch pattern. It looks it's ok!
It's one
for the books
See... the grass starts here again
"Where there's a bathymetric map and a phone app you don't really need a sonar anymore!"
A drift sock improvised from a supermarket bag was perfect for the winds we had in the first day
The wind has picked up
That's how it was
It wasn't so powerful
She just missed
Yup! There she is
She's under the limit
This one that seemed bigger, she's actually not
No problem, we'll catch another one
"We have to be optimistic till the end, the same as in all tournaments we take part in"
The wind is really blowing us away
We're drifting with the anchor dropped
Fish?
Sit tight!
They have 2 fish: 79cm and 70cm (i was talking about our team mates)
Finished!
Is it a good one?
It seems big!
I'll just get it out of the way
It's a bigger one!
Is it a bigger one?
I think so!
Come on!
I don't want to jinx it!
Pull it out the other way, on the other side of the rods!
Wow... Boanta!
Did it fit?
Yup it did!
Is it good?
Over 80cm for sure!
I think it's longer
Want me to pull her out?
Yes!
On the same lure?
Wait a second so I cast that way as well.
Just in case she follows!
There she is!
She hit really hard!
There she is!
Seems to be a small one
She took it like she meant it
I think I'll pull this one out by hand
You think she's long enough?
f..... You broke all the rods
It is what it is..
I just broke 2 of them!
"Only 2 of them because that's all there was between Boanta and the pike"
I might not get this one off for the entire day!
That's how much I love the action on this one
This one hit while the lure was sitting still
the other one seemed bigger
It seems she wanted it very bad
There she is!
Man! What's going on in that spot?
This one is a tad bigger
I think we need the net
" Hope you noticed that the landing net is complete Not for not breaking rods, but because we have enough space in the boat "
A small dragon!
I want a picture with this one
There she is!
Man!... Really now, what's going on in this spot!
They really loved it right after the buoy
There she is!
They like it here as well
These long pliers are amazing for pike fishing
You shouldn't go pike fishing without
(I'm teasing Robert! )
This one hit it while the lure was still
"Boanta is waiting for the big ones... The rare ones! :D"
"So far he's concentrated on the rare ones... Less with the big ones"
What did you catch it with Boanta?
With this rod, you made! Why?
Ironically: "And with what lure"
Ironically answering: "This is a lure specially made out of space age material
it's heat resistant
between -60 and + 20 degrees
the tail
is made orange, just in case you're stupid and loose it
so you can find it easily, not so that the pike can see it better
you understand? It has 2 supersonic trebles
You just have to look at them and you get hooked
What floatability does it have?
It has blue taste
It's very tasty!
A floating colour
And you notice this leader... it's water soluble
it dissolves in 2 hours of fishing
very tough "
"He finally got it that if he's catching them scarcely ... it would be wise for them to be larger"
Over 100 cm
Boanta... what did you do?!
very nice!
You're good with the net, you're getting the hang of it!
Better and better every time!
Push it forward!
I don't know if she's 110cm, but she's deffinetely over 1 meter
"We ended the day, and the trip with this one"
"101cm... that's how much we measured it to be once we reached the shore "
Hello again!
Our Swedish expedition is coming to an end!
Together with: Andy Arif, Cox, Boanta, Cristi Albu and Fisurat
I wanted to put together a few conclusions
referring at the equipment used during this trip
It might help others coming to Sweden
I generally don't leave for pike without 2 boxes filled with spinnerbaits
I really mean I don't leave for pike without my spinnerbaits!
Lures that I caught wish with this time, not well, but very well
a hybrid spoon type of crankbait
from Rapala
New for this year. This is what I used
In areas where the vegetation was more submerged
where i could...
fish them without the trebles getting hooked in weed
I also used
Rapala Super Shaddow Rap
A new jerkbait for 2018, a slow sinking jerkbait
I also used this one in areas with submerged weed
Because if the vegetation was rising to the surface
It got tangled up in it pretty often
and it wouldn't break off the trebles
And the lures i caught the most fish with during this trip
Considering pike were hanging in areas with
vegetation between 1 and 3 meeter deep
X-Rap Peto
also new for 2018, got the best results during this trip
I fished these
where the vegetation was denser, and rising towards the surface
most of the times the
pike hit while continuously reeling the lure in
less often while resting. Met with violent pike attacks
Which you probably noticed in the previous footage
We're closing the chapter
So... if you'd only take one rod with you
I'd recommend a rod that will throw
approximately 14-80grams
because you'll need something to throw larger lures with
I used a Phenix MX78H
Rated up to 2 oz
But I shortened the tip
resulting a rod that
i can use it up to 80grams now
A Curado 201K reel
with enough line capacity
and a thick braided line
0.20 to 0.30mm. These are the lines I recomend
If you come to Sweden for pike fishing
