Reading Time: 6 minutesCountless times it has happened to me that I took with me on fishing much more fishing equipment than I needed. The biggest problem arises especially when it is necessary to carry the equipment quite far (from the car to the place where I will fish). Often these places are very inaccessible and transportation by …

Reading Time: 6 minutesIn one of the previous blog post I described how I mix groundbait for fishing. This time I tested the home made groundbait mix on the lake and was successful at fishing with it. Maybe someone will expect big carps, but I was more than happy with the fishing results. I caught 4 different types …
Reading Time: 5 minutesWhich mix to use to attract fish, bought or mixed at home? A question to which there is essentially no answer. Probably many people will think that the easiest way to buy a ready-made mix of proven companies and just mix it up when we go fishing. I partly agree, as companies test mixes on …
