igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában In summertime, the weather forecast is always bad for the angler. If it tells good weather, it means we will get a heat alarm and just sweat on the bank silently. If the forecast is bad, then it is good for fishes but we will get wet in the rain. Just for fun of course. The worst is when the weather changes. In this time fishes doesn't want to eat, and we are sweating in the rain or something similar to this. Of course, this can change frequently, so the ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában At the end of May, I spent some days with my family at the Szarvasi Holt-Körös, at the backwater of Kákafok. It was exciting, to explore a backwater, which was completely unknown by me before. After some research, I was a little bit pessimistic, but so determined as well! My brother in law spent the whole week there, we arrived just on Thursday. The water of the lake was located at the end of our guest house's garden. Great ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában At the celebration day of work, I went to my favorite fishing lake, to Fehérvárcsurgó. The whole lake’s water surface is around 140 hectare depending on the actual level of the water. This lake owns really beautiful fishes, easy to catch catfish (the lake is really famous about its population), walleye, great carps and all type of silverfish. Today, I wanted to catch these small species, to spend some great hours here. The ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában I am sure that all of us were in the same situation, we were sitting on the bank, watching the tip and nothing happened. Sometimes it looks like we can’t drop enough groundbait into the water, and all the bait works like pieces of rock. So, we can’t catch anything, except flu. Some stands up and go home saying “fishes doesn’t eats today”. But the truth is that fishes doesn’t eats what and where we give them to eat. In ...

The warm weather came in the early March in this year. A lot of anglers was went to the lakes, when the ice was gone. All of us were excited by the warm winds. Nature just awake from the long sleep of winter. I started to think about the voice of the waves, the platter of the jumping fishes and the smell of the bank. I felt clearly that Nature calling me, it was a feeling which can’t be compared to anything. This is the dawn of the seasons. The bank is bare at this moment, ...

Now we are at the second part of the articles dedicated to feeder rigs. In this part we focus on the rigs used for carp fishing. While I try to describe two all-around rigs in the first article. These rigs was developed to meet the requirement of carp fishing. Using it we can offer our bait where they catch and how they can accept it. These riggs needs to be casted easily, has to be very durable while still keep them sensitive and of course hard to notice by carps. What a ...

Easy rigs Fishing the feeder is one of the most popular technique here in Hungary. There is no question on that. The sensitivity of the feeder tip and various rigs allows us to adapt almost any situations. We can catch the most sensitive, most careful fishes as well, if we can find them, and offer the right bait on the hook using the right rig. I spent so many beautiful hours fishing this lake using different rigs. There are plenty of bait offering solution or possibility ...

The town was completely frozen. The rimes were shining at rays of the first rays of the rising Sun. It brought much of light, but not warmth. We have to wait until the spring comes, the ground defrost and the trees getting green again. I was walking sleepy to the lake called Boating Lake. It seemed the whole world were sleeping at that moment. There was none on the lake bank, I met with some ducks only. The anglers gave some groundbait to them. I never bring the remaining with me, just left ...

The true Fall arrived in the first days of October. The air was chill and heavy due to the fog. The wind was cold, I felt it on my face, when I was cycling to my hometown’s lake. The trees were swaying in the wind, which was getting stronger and stronger trough the morning. The king’s city is not a calm place neither in history nor in meteorology manner. The mid days were good, however the mornings getting more and more colder. Hopefully the waterfront was ...

The true hot summertime arrived at the last weeks of August. People and and animals went to the shadows of the trees as well, to find a little bit colder place and to spend as less time under the shining Sun as possible. It looked as if the water was boiling thanks to the fishes, who came up from the deeper - less oxygen - water layers to the upper, warmer water just below the surface. The just want some fresh air. My first pike was caught with feeder rod. In these times, it ...
