He’s a fan of spinning and jerk bait fishing after pike. A fishing guide, an editor of a fishing website www.jerkbait.pl, a part-time writer for the “Wiadomosci Wedkarskie” (“Fishing News”) magazine, the CEO of WKS Sandacz fishing club and a member of OKP Passaria. I have been fishing since I was a child, I don’t know myself when it all exactly started. I may say that my dad ‘infected’ me with his passion. He gave me my first rod… I started with bob fishing of course. I used to catch bleak, roach, etc. Most often, I would fish with my parents in the Masuria region. At that time, my mom was keen on fishing. This was a way for our family to relax. Then, I changed into ground angling. My first trips to the rivers started. At first, I was just the little assistant to my father but I watched him and learnt. Later on, my spinning trips started. My first glass Shakespeare’s blanks and Daiwa reels were brought by my dad from his trips abroad. This is how it all started. My first perches, my first pikes. And it is all the same today.
I have been spinning for about 18 years. In my first years, I struggled on the lakes in the Masuria. I used spinner baits, spoons, rubber baits and eventually the first wobblers. I devoured fishing books and absorbed more and more theoretical knowledge. Along with experience, I started to fish successfully in the rivers. The Narew, the Vistula, the Bug and other smaller rivers. Today, I love rivers and they are my main fisheries. I must add here that I have my fishing guru. It is he who made me love the river spinning. It is thanks to Marek Szymanski that my attitude towards the fishing changed. Reading his books, I learnt a lot and I will always learn from him in the future. And I will remember our common fishing trips for many, many years…
I am fond of the spinning and medium-heavy casting (mainly using the jerk bait method while catching the pike). For some time already, I have been trying the fly-fishing. I exercise my throwing technique in order to be able to fly fish all predatory fish in the future. I am most fond of the spinning. I appreciate it because it’s an active form of angling. I can learn big sections of rivers in quite a short time, I can learn bigger parts of lakes. I often change my fisheries while looking for fish. While spinning, I use solely artificial bait, I don’t need natural bait. There is a bigger choice as far as the kind and colors of baits are concerned.
The sander used to be my favorite spinning aim. It used to be one of the few fish which could surprise me at any moment. Sometimes very moody, at other times very aggressive. I liked sander fishing very much and with my experience growing, I managed to catch real specimen. However, the river has many other mysteries, and that’s why I like to fish for all predatory fish in our rivers. Every fish type has something else to offer, something which will attract me for many more years. I fish for the chub, the ide, the perch, the pike, the trout, the asp, the barbell and the catfish of course. Every fish type is a different kind of pleasure to me. I have been always excited with different spinning methods for every fish type. That’s why I fish for all of the above mentioned fish types with different techniques. At these methods, you use both, very light and very heavy equipment. On big rivers, I have been fishing for the asp for the most of my time but in the summer spinning period I have been spending many hours trying to catch the barbell as well. In winter and early spring, however, you can meet me most often over a trout-river. Catching the trout is like addiction and it’s hard to get rid of it. Moreover, I am fond of fishing on the skerries. I mean pike fishing of course. There are relatively many of this fish there and the skerries are a good place to discover new fishing techniques and test new pike baits. To me, the most interesting season there is the spring. It is then that I use my favorite method, i.e. big jerk bait. This is a very exciting method, especially that pike catch is very spectacular.
In 2005, a new fishing website was founded: www.jerkbait.pl. I am one of its editors. This website, which in the meantime has become one of Poland’s biggest fishing sites, makes my fishing life richer.
Since 2005, I have been also the co-writer of Wiadomosci Wedkarskie (Fishing News). I write fishing texts enriched with the photos of fish and river landscapes.
I support the catch & release method. I always follow it myself, and I will always do it. I encourage everyone to apply this method. Releasing the fish gives them a chance to survive and grow further. The ‘no kill’ method could only do good in Poland. It would make the fish population in Polish rivers, which are less and less fishy, grow. Thanks to the method, each of us would have bigger chances to catch big fish of different types. A fish once released may be caught again, when it grows even bigger. Let’s remember that the C&R method means a chance for the fish to live longer and grow to record size.
Feel invited to common trips when we will share our fishing experience with you. We will show you where and how to get to different fish types. What’s the most important, however, is the contact with wild nature, which is guaranteed at our fishing trips.
Robust, wild and twisting river. Twists, deep holes and gravel river bed… Can you ask for more? Like wild steep slopes? There are lots of them here. Moreover, these are one of the best angling spots of the Bug river. We specialize in night sander angling. We know places where the chances to catch the prey fish are bigger than anywhere else. Our guides will tell you about the river and show you its best parts.
We don’t guarantee that you catch fish, there is no way to do it sometimes… What we do guarantee is that our guides regularly catch fish of your dreams, they know the river and they will do everything to make you feel the weight of the fish running away into the river out of the tip of your angle. We’d love to help you understand the river and we will also teach you the river’s secrets. The range of possibilities is vast and the choice of how the final offer looks like is only up to you and your wishes. Tell us what you want, we will tell you when and how we can fulfill your fishing dreams.
The Lupava is one of the most beautiful if not actually the most beautiful river of the Pomerania region. It’s very differentiated. There are deep spots with calm current intertwined with shallow, ‘mountain-like’ swift current. The bottom of the river is stony and gravelly or sandy, in parts there are rich underwater plants. Trout and grayling live over a long section of the river.
The wildest of all lowland rivers in the country. At the same time, it’s very special and with fewer anglers than in other fisheries. Our guides know it by heart. Feel invited to trips lasting several hours or all day.
The choice of a certain spot and kind of fish depends on many factors: the season, the time of the day, water level, pressure… Our guides will provide suitable care in this respect. They will tell you when and what to catch.
The queen of Polish rivers. Wilde, huge and… dense with fish. We invite you to fishing trips lasting several hours or all-day-long ones. Our main attraction are unforgettable boat trips (it’s possible to stay for a night in a tent). We fish all day and late at night then. What fish can be caught? In theory, all the fish living in this river. Our guides will provide you the right care.
We don’t know one answer only – what fish you would like to catch? Choose it and we will tell you when and where we could try to catch it. You don’t know yourself what fish you would like to catch? Tell us, when you would like to go fishing. In the morning? Then we may start with the asp. We will try to add our baits to their breakfast menu. You have the whole day to spend on fishing? We will look for chub or ide in racing spots. Or maybe we will fish for barbell, the queen of our river? We may always look for pike in numerous places along the river.
We may put up the tent or sleep just at the fire. Shall we fish at dusk? No problem. Later on, we will sail further on or go down to the base. We don’t guarantee that you catch fish, there is no way sometimes… What we do guarantee is that our guides catch fish of your dreams on the regular basis, they know the river and they will do everything for you to feel the pulsing weigh of fish running away in the river at the top of your rod. You know perfectly well what we are writing about. We will be happy to let you understand the river, and we will teach you to read its secrets.
