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 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 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 In the middle of June, the Summer arrived. The temperature went upper and upper. I was waiting the weekend very much! After the long and boring Winter brake and after the windy, rainy spring days, at last I don’t need a raincoat! Fishes likes this weather as well and eats more and are less cautious, the takes are aggressive, and runs with the hook like an express train, until a skillful angler stops them for a picture. No ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
One of the shiny Saturday afternoon of October, my friend told me the following “Let's go fishing for pike!” It was some days after I decided to try catching predators. I decided some days before this that I will try myself in spinning, but the session was planned to another time. “Two hours, not more!” I cant say a 'no'. The nice weather and the beautiful creek calling me to try out some techniques I caught pike or perch only with pole and feeder, ...
I was waiting the September. The leaves of the trees are getting more and more colourful, the dogdays are over and the cooler, foggy dawns are coming. In these times, we can catch more carp at the middle of the day, inspite of the summer warm months. The Fall is the best time for fishing. I was not alone on the waterfront The time has come for our first Fall fishing with my brother in law. For the event I choose a close distance but promising lake called Hajnal fishing ...
I had two alternatives for the day after my match fishing day in Dömsöd. The first one was the more serious feeder fishing for carp in the middle of the river bed, far-far from me. However, it looks like over the past few days, the carps would like to retreat, I cant see any catch around me. The other possibility was my pole in my bag. The wind was strong, therefore the pole fishing seemed very hard. I had just limited time for the fishing, so I choose the pole. And what was the ...
The Fall comes. I dont think about the weather of course. The calendar shows it to me, it is the firs Saturday of September. I discussed with my friends that we spend a day at the lake od Fehérvárcsurgó with fishing. I did not have a chance for fishing all day for a while, I was not able and I did not want to say no for such an invitation like this. I chose fishing with float, while the others tryed to catch the carps of the lake with the traditional fishing style of the ...

The water and the land is beautiful too. But let's avoid the „in medias res” begining. This story started at spring, when we planned our holiday. We tryed to find a place for rest, and nothing more! Finaly we choose Hotel Orchidea at Tengelic here in Hungary. The nice wellness hotel was placed ...
We spend some days in Dömsöd, in the Ráckevei Duna in every year. It is needless to say that, the main focus this year was in the fishing. The weather was bad this time too, the whole week was windy, rainy and cold. First, I tried my favorite light feeder rods, but my true goal was to catch some fishes with float. I was curious, whether I can use the match such bad weather conditions like I had there. Pretty good rod + pretty good groundbait = pretty good ...
The Feeder fishing is admittedly one of mos sensitive technique. We can catch all the careful fishes easily. But what happens, if our finny friends leaves the near-coast distance and get the direction to the deeper, further water. This event sometimes happen thanks to the weather. In these times, all our attempts are useless, we cant make any serious takes near the coast within 50 yards. This means we cant catch fish? Of course not! I try to seduce the fishes with good ...
There are several fishing techniques, and all of the techniques has their own specialized equipment, tackle, the number of the variations are countless. Feeder fishing is the same. We can choose from many rods, there are shorter and longer ones with great power or soft action also. What is better? Is there any universal solution, which can be used with great success in almost every situation? I decided to find out the truth on a cloudy Saturday morning. I choose a quiet, peaceful place for ...
