The new Champion family has recently been introduced to the public. On the bags you find Szilárd Szilvási’s name, so we asked the European champ what we should know about these products.

Through a special process I’ve managed to create a groundbait that consists of mostly ...
x Fish can be caught in the easiest way at that place where they are. But what happens if they are far away from the shore? Fishing at an area farther than 100 meter is not a simple task to perform precisely. Obviously, best solutions would be to use a fishing boat or a remote controlled boat, however they are forbidden to be utilized in many lakes. Therefore, in such cases we can only rely on our rod, reel and some useful accessories enabling us fishing at a longer range from the bank ...

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!

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, ...
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 ...

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 ...
