Pikesafari #5 2013


Wow another week has obviously already been passing by. In Karlskrona we've had very nice weather lately and is in the lead when it comes to sun hours this summer.

Yesterday was a bit of an exception though since most of the day was cloudy. With these factors in our mind we had high expectations of the evening. We were fully booked this time which means 10 boats and 40 anglers.

With less wind this Thursday we decided to go to the island groups of Smörpundsholmarna. Before the stop over there we went to Kobebus just south of Karlskrona city. Unfortunately for us, great amount of algae growth that appears during warm summer periods has now reached our area. This affects water visibility so even though we had low winds this pikesafari, water was murky.

In some boats fishing was okey at the first stop and David caught a small cucumber almost directly. In my boat a little kid managed to catch two small pikes in short time on a classic ABU Atom spoon, herring colour. Happy smiles in the boat for sure!

After an hour we went to Smörpundsholmarna to continue our pike hunt. We picked a rather big area since we had 10 boats.

Overall it was very happy faces that with interest gathered up by our fishing lodge to see who would win this pike safari. As always we asked boat for boat about their fishing and most guests reported about very strong but small pikes that has been caught during the evening. Winner pike this time measured 70cm and at least 3 other boats were fighting just behind with sizes 67-68cm. With these sizes mentioned, you can understand that this was a night of kinder activity. After some counting we could sum up 41 pikes, which is a really good result.

Two more pike safaris to go this summer...

Have a nice and fishy weekend!

Tack för tipset igår under fisketuren om vad man skulle stå vid klipporna för att få fisk vid Dragsö. Tidigt imorse fick jag upp en gädda där! Hälsningar från the little kid båt nr 9.

Kul att tipset gav resultat!! Bra fiskat.

Är det guidade turer ni lägger upp inlägg ifrån eller är det officiella event?

Just detta inlägg är från vårat Gäddsafari som arrangeras varje torsdag under sommaren på Dragsö Camping. I övrigt skrivs det på bloggen om allt från gästers rapporter, guidernas råd & fisken, hur fisket är för stunden och lite av varje helt enkelt.

Tack för svar!
Hur fungerar gäddsafarit, kan alla komma och hänga med ut eller är det begränsat med platser, kostar det en slant eller är det gratis?

Vi har totalt 10st båtar där vi åker 4 i varje. Två platser är reserverade för guiderna så 38 platser finns att tillgå varje vecka. Kostnad är 200:-/person och man har då med sin egna utrustning.

Vi fiskar sedan på 2 olika platser under kvällen och det går ut på att fånga en så lång gädda som möjligt. Det båtlag som lyckas fånga den längsta gäddan vinner sedan ett pris. Catch&Release gäller så man tar ett kort på fisken man får som sedan granskas av guiderna.
