Something to warm the soul in this freezing weather. Friday was set for fishing, and I received an invitation from Ivan Atanasov to visit Trakiets fishing venue, as the days before he had visited the water and the fishing was good. That was all the encouragement I needed, a quick arrangement and Koceto Tonkov and the next day on the shore of the fishing venue we gathered a large group of feeder anglers Me, Koceto, Vankata from Dimitrovgrad, Sasho from the team of Krakra and Valkan. In a nutshell, a great day out.

Typical spring fishing from the mouth of the dam.

Yaz. Thracian is powerfully filled with water due to the rainfall the previous days, slightly cloudy and extensive shallow section. Spring fish, especially crucian carp, have always been “the most shoddy“ for fishing, as can be broken, and when caught fishing there is no fix. Literally everything inlead weightences them especially the change of time.
I chose 2 fishing spots – at 12 m and 25 m – because fish had been showing at each of the 2 distances that morning and I found clean patches. Subsequently, the close distance did not work and I insisted only on 25 m. The fish were more relaxed there.

I started fishing more confidently with the tackles

Daiwa Airity X-Slim Feeder 3.30m/50gr with TDR 3012, braided line 0.12 mm and 8 m shock, 50 cm leader Tournament Rig Line 0,12mm and hook No 14 Gamakatsu A1 1100. After an hour of fishing and pondering over the whims of the fishes, I made a radical change in the tackle, for the bites was quite timid and uncertain, and the fishes were there. I changed the rod to softer Spectron Commercial Ultra Feeder 3.30m/50 gr, I shortened the shock of 2 m, I put 0.5 oz MTQ peak, I put a relatively long shoulder around 7 cm, I increased and refined the leader 65 cm, 0.10 mm Mmm.Tournament Fluorocarbon and hook Gamakatsu 1010R No 12. I only started fishing on the 3-4 bloodwormssa and things worked out. By 14 h. I managed to do a pretty decent fishing, but half an hour later the current brought the whole “river“ junk and fishing became impossible.

The mix I used was:
• 50/50 – MVDE Superroach Heavy Special/Gold Pro Bream Classic
1 dry air freshener MVDE Brasem Caramel
1/3 Liquid Flavouring MVDE Liquid Booster Bream
Little flower crumbs

I had a great day in a nice company and had a lot of laughs.

Say hello to the guys and hope we get back together like this!
