EN LAYOUT Kotka: In search of the record-sized fish (1-4 pax)

This fishing trip may not necessarily produce a plentiful selection of fish onto the boat, and the casting intervals may be long at times, but when a cast does occur, it comes on strong! This trip uses sonar technology and some extra fishing expertise to really hone in on the big fish, which is what this trip is all about. Possible catches are perch, pike, or pike perch. The giants of our waters have a lifestyle very different from that of their smaller counterparts and generally swim solo, or at best, in the company very few others. These big fish have grown big for a very good reason; they are adept at dodging anglers, boats, and other perceived threats and can be very picky with their food at times. Once a potential fish is found, and the boat is well positioned, the sonar screen shows the exact position of the fish in relation to the boat, how it reacts to the boat, and the cast bait. However, one false move can spook a fish, and then you’ve lost your chance, so it’s best to follow the instructions in the guide.

There are several other very important factors to consider, such as the lure’s colour and size, the different weighting methods, the thickness of the line, the style of fishing, and how clear the water is (or isn’t). Weather factors such as wind speed, air pressure and general temperature can also influence the fish’s willingness to take a bite.If, after all of this, you get that elusive bite, the action can get wild, and you’ll have some great experiences that you’ll remember for many years to come. So join us for this challenging but truly addictive form of fishing.
