Pristan

Ljubljana je lepa, zelo lepa. Sploh center. Ampak čim prideš malo bolj ven, recimo do prul in trnovega je že drugače. Pa ne mislim na slabše.

Takole grem včasih ob Ljubljanici pri Prulah in ko vidim tisti čolnarski center in pristan z temi ladjami na vodi, se mi skoraj lahko zazdi kot da sem mogoče kje v Srbiji ob Savi ali Donavi. Čeprav v resnici nikoli še nisem bil tam, ampak upam, da kdaj bom.

Tako vse bolj balkansko izgleda z tistimi lesenimi pomoli, rečnimi barkami na katerh so bari, razni čolni, race, celo nutrije,…

Všeč mi je ta Balkan.

Japanese style fishng

When I saw DUO lures on the internet for the first time, I was like OMG! Must have at least one of these.  And here some problems showed up. Most stores I could find that have DUO in their catalog sell Tide Minnow series. And here comes my second problem, most of these lures are off my lure budget limit. Most of them cost like 22-25 pounds which is around 25-30 euros, and most postal charges are too high to buy just one lure. Beside that, I’m more interested in smaller lures from DUO, like Tetra Works series, and Spearhed series.

 

 

 

But then I found out that one of the stores here in my country just started to sell DUO. Oh my! Need them, I must have them! I’m gonna go crazy if I don’t buy at least one. So I went and bought two lures. First I almost bought Toto 42 and Yurameki,  but then I changed my mind and bought Toto 421 and By Ruf SV-702.

 

Goby likes Bay Ruf

 

The same day I bought these two awesomenesses  we also went Egigng. A very successful technique invented by Japanese for squid fishing from shore. I’ve never tried this type of fishing before. ActuallyI never liked squid fishing at all, because our traditional technique is dyingly boring. But Eging is awesome, not boring at all.
So this was also a good chance to try how the new lures work. And I was impressed immediately. I tided on Bay Ruf and made first cast, and then second. BAM, strike! Omg, what was that? I first thought that it was a sea-bass who attacked the lure but didn’t hook properly and immediately fell off. But on the end, a decent goby was hooked on. That explained the strike and later no fighting back.

 

Almost smaller from its prey

 

Now, let’s say something about eging part of the fishing. It was my first time to try this technique, as I’ve already mentioned before. I like this technique, because it is more dynamic than our traditional. It is also pretty technical. You must know what lure to use in certain conditions and so on.
Because I don’t have my own set of lures, yet!, my friend Jolly borrowed me one. So I was able to learn the proper technique. With old lures I have, one can also do this technique, but it’s not the same as if you have lures specifically made for it.

 

The Monster, squid I mean

Unfortunately, despite I basically knew how to do this technique, and had a proper lure, I caught nothing. But I’m not disappointed at all. Plus, conditions were not ideal, it was just after Burja sopped blowing in the morning of that day. And first days after Burja usually are not very good for squid fishing.

But! We didn’t go home without a catch! Jolly caught a couple of cuttlefish AND one squid. It weighted at least a kilo if not more. Just look at that “kursk”.

I’m already planing to buy at least a few of these Yamashita lures and head out to try to catch some squid next time.
