We fish from ashore with the kids. Johannes got a Carp bream and a couple of minutes later Siri got one! The first video is quite funny :-)

We caught a flounder that weighed almost a kilo (980 g) in our net. This is Johannes holding the flounder. The easiest and best (?) recipe for flounder is to smoke it. You just need some salt, a smoker and the fish!]]> Fishing Diary http://www.fishing-pics.com/blog/index.php?itemid=158 Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:12:02 +0300 <![CDATA[Fishing with the Kids]]> http://www.fishing-pics.com/blog/index.php?itemid=157
It´s nice when your kids get in the age they can (and want to) fish with you.

Siri and her baltic herring?

I´m cleaning the old boat house and found some interesting antiques? This is for ice fishing.

The boat house before the cleaning :-)

I´m now on my summer vacation and spending time with family and friends at our summer cottage (Inkoo, Finland).

Johannes fishing.


Salt and butter that is all. We did make soup of the rest and I think that´s even better than the owen rainbow trout.

It was raining and we did not see any signs of fish. I tried many different lures, but we had to give up after 3 hours because I wasn´t prepared for the rain as good as my son (Johannes).

At this fishing spot we usually get a small pike within the first hour or so. No luck this time :-(]]> Fishing Diary http://www.fishing-pics.com/blog/index.php?itemid=153 Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:00:00 +0300 <![CDATA[Ice Fishing Safety]]> http://www.fishing-pics.com/blog/index.php?itemid=52 I just want to remind you people living in northern climates that fishing, working or playing on the frozen surface of the sea, a river or lake can be dangerous. Knowing how to fish safely on the ice can be a matter of life or death. What to Remember when Ice Fishing
Include items for testing and measuring the thickness of the ice. A do not forget items for rescue or self-rescue. It is good to carry a couple of large nails and a length of light nylon rope. If you should go through the ice, the nails could help provide a "grip" on the slippery surface and aid in getting out from the water.

Other Things to Remember
If you end up in the water do not panic and once you are out of the water and are lying on the ice, don't stand! Roll away from the point where you broke through until you are on solid ice.

Be especially wary of river ice, as it can be highly variable in thickness.

California Trout has launched a new online advocacy program to enable anglers, sportsmen, and other concerned Americans to weigh in on key issues that affect wild trout, steelhead, and their waters throughout California.


California Trout is actively working to defeat the Pombo bill, which would do lasting damage to the Endangered Species Act. They hope you'll help them build a groundswell of grassroots opposition.

The catch was 23 pike and 3 perches. The pikes were all quite small and we released most of them.
I got a pike that was 3 kilos (6.5 pounds) and that one I took home to the family. One of the perches was 700 grams (25 ounches). It was the biggest perch I have ever seen.

We tried wobblers and spinners, but the spoon was definitely the lure to use. I got two pikes with a Abu Garcia Atom and one pike with the legendary Abu Garcia Toby.]]> Fishing Diary http://www.fishing-pics.com/blog/index.php?itemid=50 Fri, 11 Nov 2005 09:15:12 +0200
