Grymfisher is for sale!!  I have decided to go diesel & have more beds aboard so that means a bigger boat :) If anyone is looking for a customised very well equipped & cared for trolling machine to fish for Lax then please email me at D166884F@yahoo.com or call 0704615068, I am working on a ship offshore at the moment but will be able to take telephone calls after the 20th of May. The price is SEK325000, there is a fantastic array of electronics and the trailer/electric winch which will be included in the price however the downriggers are not for sale.

Good luck
John.

To much wind to fish...

Trolling today has been cancelled due to the weather but it's forecast to come down to 6m/s tomorrow so it gave me a chance to do some maintenance, I put a double split links on a few flutter spoons for a little more flexibility.....

Grän 12.7Kg

Out with 2 friends, Graeme & Leif, 12:05 the right side line next to the planer board released & zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............ Fish on! After 30 minutes the fish was aboard, 12.7Kg of silver, this is my personal best but hopefully not for long :-) For those interested, the fish took a yellow/silver Ismo Mag with a 20 gram lead one rod length in front of the lure.  The lure was 120' behind the release so it was close to the surface, exactly the same setup as the last 7.2Kg fish at Landsort..... The fish coughed up Spig (sticklebacks) when it was aboard.

Grän

Fished Grän yesterday but only caught 2 Garfish (Näbbgädda). I have to find out if the long streaks of glassy water are freshwater as the fish might follow these? Anyone with any ideas about this please comment..... Water was cold in around Lågland 3.2C @ 40' & 5.2C on the surface but when I went far out it was 5.1C @ 40' & 9,1C on the surface. Saw two seals far out & as there were no rocks to sit on they must be after fish....
