A cheeky fishing trip…

05-01-09

After a shameful performance during Eric and I’s first Swedish fishing trip, where the American went ahead catching two Pike to my two trees, I have decided to take advantage of the fact that Eric is out of town this weekend to try to redeem myself. We got a tip we got from Fiskesnack (a great Swedish fishing forum, it’s in Swedish but we posted in English and got quick responses from some very helpful Swedes) saying that at this time of year Garfish (or Näbbgädda / Horngädda in Swedish) are pretty plentiful in the southern coastal region of Sweden. Apparently there is also really good Sea Trout fishing in this area so maybe I’ll get lucky.

So, on Sunday morning I will head off to Malmo in pursuit of the Swedish Garfish, looking to put my first points on the scorecard. If anyone would like to join me or has any tips for outwitting these fish, please get in touch with me on Twitter (@fishtwits), send me an email (fishtwits@fishtwits.com) or leave a comment below. If you can help me get my fish-count above the American’s I’ll even buy you a beer!
