NEKADA SU PEŠKAFONDI IZGLEDALI OVAKO, LJUDI SU IH SAMI IZRADJIVALI I NA NJIH LOVILI LIGNJE, SIPE, A ZALETILA BI SE I  POKOJA HOBOTNICA.

IN THE OLD DAYS BAITS LOOKED LIKE THIS AND PEOPLE MADE THEM BY THEIR OWN HANDS TO CATCH SQUIDS AND CUTTLEFISH, BUT SOMETIMES EVEN AN OCTOPUS WOULD TAKE THE BAIT. 

Vremena su se promijenila i danas možete kupiti razne varalice, ali je malo onih koje dobro love.

Ljudima koji idu na more iz potrebe, koji nemaju ili ne mogu ništa drugo raditi nego ići na more, ili za one kojima umjesto krvi teče crnilo kroz vene, zbog njih sam odlučio predstaviti ove alate, jer želim, kad su već na moru, da odu doma zadovoljni ulovom iako se to ponekad ne događa
iz raznoraznih razloga, a najviše zbog loših varalica.

Počeo sam kao neznalica. Nitko nije želio ništa pokazati. Svi su šutili i smijali se iza leđa. Žena mi je govorila da ja nisam za to, nego da kupim na peškariji. Nisam mario za to nego sam vrtio neki svoj film u glavi dok nisam popravio prvi peškafondo koji nije lovio.
Trajalo je to pet godina proba i testiranja, a traje i dalje jer uvijek ima novih ideja.

Nitko ne zna sve o lovu liganja, pa tako ni ja. Oni koji idu na more stalno, kad god se može, oni će i naučiti.

The times have changed and today you can buy various baits, but there is a small amount of those that work well.

I decided to presents this baits for the people which gave their life to the sea, people who have no other job but fishing for one reason: To go home satisfied with the day which is behind... It is not the case every day because of bad baits.

I started out as an amateur. Nobody wanted to show me anything. Everyone held their tongues and laughed at my back. My wife told me I was not cut out for that, I should just go and buy squids at the market. It didn’t matter to me, I followed my own mind until I fixed my first bait that hadn’t caught anything. It took five years of tryouts and testings, but it continues because new ideas keep coming.

Nobody knows everything about catching squids, and neither do I. Those who go to sea all the time, whenever they can, they will learn..

Ove su varalice rezultat petogodišnjih proba i istraživanja, i stalno se radi na novim originalnim proizvodima jer želim da ove varalice dođu u ruke svakog lignjolovca koji će sretan i zadovoljan ulovom otići doma.
Nastale su samo iz jednog razloga, a taj je da nisam bio zadovoljan varalicama koje su bile dostupne u maloprodaji, jer su slabo ili nikako lovile pa sam odlučio sam napraviti svoje.
Namijenjene su za lov liganja, sipa i hobotnica iz brodice.
Postoje tri grupe proizvoda koje su razvrstane po uvjetima pod kojima love:
- lov po mraku
- lov po danu i mjesecu
- lov po danu/mjesecu i po mraku
Svaka se varalica nalazi u svojoj prozirnoj kutiji tako da potencijalni kupac odmah zna što kupuje.                                      
U kutiji se nalazi kartončić s malom preporukom za lov i uvjetima pod kojima varalica lovi.
                                                                                                            
Ova je varalica osvojila brončanu diplomu za najbolju inovaciju Dalmacije 2007.
Na 23. međunarodnom nautičkom sajmu u Rijeci 2007. ova je varalica osvojila brončanu plaketu.

These baits are the result of a five year experiment and research, and I am still constantly working on new products because I want these baits to come into the hands of every squid catcher who will then be going home happy and satisfied with his catch.
The baits were made only for the reason that I was simply dissatisfied with baits that were available on the market, because they proved to catch poorly so I decided to make my own.
They are intended for catching squids, cuttlefish and octopuses from a boat.
There are tree groups of baits classified by the conditions under which the baits work:
-exclusively for night
-exclusively for day and big moon fishing
-both for day, big moon and night fishing
Each baits is in its own transparent box so that potential buyer know right away what they are buying.
In every box there is also a piece of cardboard with recommendations for fishing along with listed conditions

This bait won a bronze diploma for the best innovation of Dalmatia 2007.

This bait won a bronze plaque on the 23rd international nautical fair in Rijeka 2007.

Set vrhunskih peškafonda za lov po danu i po velikom mjesecu.
Ima dosta nejasnoća kod ljudi kad koji peškafondo lovi.
Na ovoj su slici prikazani peškafondi koji love po danu i velikom mjesecu tako da se može slobodno ujutro poći u lov liganja, a ne samo jedan sat prije zalaska sunca.
Također love po velikom mjesecu - što je veći mjesec, to bolje.
Znaju loviti i po mraku i to kad je more bistrije, i to iznenađujuće dobro.

Set of top-quality baits for day and big moon fishing
People are often uncertain about the time of the day when particular bait works best. This picture shows the baits for day and big moon fishing so you can freely go fishing in the morning and not only one hour before sunset. They are also meant for big moon fishing – the bigger the moon, the better. They are also surprisingly good for night fishing (when there’s no moon) especially if the sea is very clear.

Set vrhunskih peškafonda za lov u sumrak i mrak kad nema velikog mjeseca.
Na ovoj su slici prikazani peškafondi koji love samo u sumrak i mrak kad nema velikog mjeseca.
Oni kojima je svjetliji dio prema iglama mogli bi loviti i po danu.
Nemoguće je provjeriti sve uvjete lova. Nekada vas iznenadi da peškafondo koji nije dobro lovio baš tu večer lovi odlično.

Set of top-quality baits for twiligt fishing and fishing by night with no moon

This picture shows the baits that are meant for twilight fishing and fishing by
night with no moon.
It’s impossible to check every fishing condition. Sometimes you can be surprised how the bait that didn’t work well last night today works
amazingly well.

Također primam sve pokude i pohvale, kao i sugestije.
Probate! Nećete biti razočarani.

I will also take any kind of critique as well as suggestions.
Try it! You will not be disappointed.

Na tržište je izašla nova olovna varalica nazvana TRITON SVITAC koja svijetli u moru i može loviti bez izvora svjetla. Ne troši nikakvu energiju, samo ju je potrebno s vremena na vrijeme osvijetliti bilo kojim izvorom svjetla kojeg imate na brodici /ručna baterija, brodsko svijetlo i sl./.
Lovi isključivo po mraku, kada nema velikog mjeseca.

Na 5. međunarodnoj izložbi inovacija, proizvoda i tehnologija u Zagrebu 2007. ova je varalica osvojila srebrnu Arcu /medalju/.

There is new lead bait on the market called TRITON SVITAC that shines in the sea and can be used wihout a light source. It uses no energy. The only thing you need to do is expose it to any kind of light source every once in a while. It can be any light you have on your boat /flash light, a boat light, etc./.
It is used exclusively for night fishing when there is no big moon.
This bait won a silver Arca /medal/ on The Fifth International
Exhibition of Inovations, New Products and Technologies
in Zagreb 2007.

Na ove su dvije slike prikazani fosforescentni peškafondi koji svijetle cijeli ili djelomično.
Oni love isključivo u sumrak i mrak. Po mjesecu neće lovit.

Poruka da je ovo NAJBOLJA JEŠKA ZA LIGNJE je istina, to potvrđuju mnogi koji su kupili ovaj proizvod, a žele uloviti liganja za sebe ili za prodati i guštat na moru.

These two pictures show phosphorescent baits that shine completely or just partly. They are meant exclusively for twilight and night fishing. If there’s moon, they won’t work.

The message that is THE BEST BAIT FOR CATCHING SQUIDS is true. This is approved by many who bought this product, and wish to catch squids for themselves or selling, and enjoy on the sea.

News announcement: shining bait for catching squids by hand-trolling not on the market yet

Na prvi pogled sasvim obična varalica, ništa posebno!

Međutim, kad se osvijetli i pusti u sumrak ili mrak to je sasvim nešto drugo!
To je varalica koja izaziva svojim bojama,  koja se vidi u mraku  i lignja ne može izdržati da se ne baci!
Ova je varalica pripremljena za lov po mraku kad nema velikog mjeseca.

Postoje dvije kombinacije, upravo ove koje su prikazane na slikama, s narančastim i crvenim leđima.

At the first sight it’s an ordinary bait, nothing special!

But try shining a bit light on it and use it during the twilight or night and you’ll see it’s something completely different!

It’s a bait that lures with its colours, that is visible in the dark and the squid just can’t help throwing itself on it!
This bait is made for fishing by night without big moon.

There are two combinations of this bait which are shown on the picture: with orange and red back.

Panula za lignje:
Mnogi lignjolovci više vole panulavat nego loviti pod feral. Za one koji malo znaju o panulavanju, evo najprije skica za montiranje:

Hand-trolling for squids:
Many fishermen prefer hand-trolling over lamp fishing.
For those not very familiar with hand-trolling, here is a sketch for setting it up:

Ovo je skica za panulu s jednom varalicom. Panulaje se od 2-13 m. Dobro je poznavati teren gdje se misli panulavati. Još bolje je ako imate sonder, tako kad se naleti na nagli plitki teren potrebno je skratiti najlon za 6 paša tako da je zadnji zogulin u ruci.
Najbolji su tereni za panulu oni pješčani s kratkom travom. Ako je obala osvijetljena bijelim svjetlom, to je idealno.

Prije panulavanja treba provjeriti da li varalica lijepo radi. Nije dobro ako ide u jednu ili drugu stranu. Treba ići ravno. To se štima sa žicom na glavi.

Postavlja se pitanje jesu li bolje platnene ili gole varalice? Dobre su i jedne i druge ako dobro rade u moru. Za mrak su bolje narančaste, narančasto-žute ili narančasto-zlatne, kao i crvene.
Za panulu po mjesecu bolje su gole koje se presijavaju po bokovima, a leđa su im tamnija.
Najbolji rezultati postižu se kad je plima i po jugu kad more vrije.
Panulaje se lagano s malim ili minimalnim gasom. Kad se lignja baci
potrebno je motor izbaciti iz brzine i lagano je vući jer se u većini slučajeva uhvati na duge krakove koji znaju puknuti ako se naglo vuče.
To naročito vrijedi zimi. Krakovi pucaju kao staklo. Neki lignjolovci panulaju s više varalica raznih boja.

Evo skica montaže panule s dvije varalice:

This is a one-bait sketch. The whole thing can be 2-13 m long.
It’s good to be familiar with the terrain. It’s even better if
you have a probe and then, when you suddenly find yourself in
shallow water, you have to shorten the nylon 6 times by ca. 1.5 m.
It’s best if the terrain is sandy with short seaweed. It’s perfect if the shore is lit by white light.
Before starting check the bait.
It has to go straight without tilting to the sides. You will adjust
this with wire on the head of the bait.
One can ask: Which is better – cloth bound baits or bare ones? Either is good if it works well in the sea. During the night it is better to use orange, orange-yellow, orange-golden, as well as red ones. If there’s moon, it’s better to use the bare ones which are iridescent on their sides and have darker backs.
The best results are achieved at high tide and when warm south wind blows.
Hand-trolling is done slowly so throttle down to the minimum.
When the squid throw itself onto the bait, shift out of gear
and pull the squid slowly because most of the times the squid
is caught by its long tentacles that can easily be snapped if
you pull hardly, especially in the winter when tentacles break like glass.
Some fishermen hand-troll with more baits of various colors.

This is a two-bait sketch:

Kao što vidite nema olova. Ovo mi je ustupio veliki panulaš na lignje.
Kod panulavanja treba još pripaziti na neoznačene mreže kojih ima kao gljiva poslije kiše.
Ako varalica zapne u mrežu /to se odmah osjeti/, treba popustiti najlon i vratiti se na mjesto gdje je zapelo. Ako ne može drugačije, rampinom podignuti mrežu i osloboditi varalicu.
Na mjestu gdje se lignja bacila, treba ponoviti jer je vrlo moguće da tu još ima liganja. Vidim da nisam napisao veličinu omčica. To može biti cca 5-6 cm. Ima varalica koje na sebi već imaju prsten na glavi. Možete ga skinuti ili vezati tvrdi vez na prsten.

As you can see, there’s no lead weight. The sketch was handed over to me by a great hand-troller. While hand-trolling, you have to pay attention to unmarked fishing nets that grow like mushrooms after the rain. If the bait gets stuck into the net /you will feel this immediately/, ease up the naylon and go back to the place where the bait got stuck. If there’s no other way, use a four-prong hook to lift the net and release the bait. If you caught a squid, try again at the same spot, it’s very possible there’s more. I’ve just realized I haven’t written the size of the noose. It’s ca. 5-6 cm. Some baits already have a ring on their head. You can either remove it or fasten the noose to it.

Evo par savjeta za lov liganja i sipa iz borodice:

1.  u lov liganja se ne ide glavom bez obzira kako to neki rade, i kad vidim kako bacaju sidro u more odmah dobijem ospice i idem što dalje

2.  ne skosaje se tako kao da se nekome maše u pomoć.
 Ako se skosaje to se radi skroz lagano

3.  tamo gdje je šporko dno umjesto varalice se stavlja olovo težine približno koliko je teška varalica

4.  peškafondo od dna je u principu udaljen jedan paš, jer lignja nikada nije na dnu

5.  na 50-60cm od peškafonda se montira zogulin ili vrtilica, na slijedećih 10-tak se montira još jedna izmedju te dvije vrtilice se montira plutajuća ribica na malu kopčicu, tako da se može promijeniti. Ako se želi montirati još jedna ribica, doda se još jedan zogulin. Ribice se šetaju izmedju.

6.  sve to se može montirati i na način da se umjesto zogulina stave perlice sa prozirnim bužirom izmedju i jedna kratka prama kroz bužir do max. 5 cm tako da se ribica ne petlja za glavni najlon

7.  sve to vrijedi isto za lov sipa, samo umjesto peškafonda ide olovo i udaljenost od olova do prvog zogulina ne prelaziti 40 cm.

8.  ne slažem se sa onima koji kažu da plima i oseka ne utječu na lov liganja. Utječu i te kako.                                                                   Ako je vrh plime i prisutan je mjesec lignja popliva po površini.        Ako mjeseca nema kako se spušta more lignja ide prema dnu, ako je mjesec moguće je da i dalje bude pri površini bez obzira na špuštanje mora. Ovisno o vremenu i poziciji izabrat ćemo mjesto odnosno dubinu za lov.
Ovdje neću spominjati dubine zato jer lov na sjevernom jadranu, srednjem i južnom jadranu nije isti.
Različita je konfiguracija terena.
Svakako treba znati da lignja dolazi u sami kraj.
Ljeti ne jer more smrdi od raznih krema i ona od toga bježi.
Ako se lovi ljeti traže se pozicije gdje nema kupača.
Takodjer se ne slažem sa onima koji kažu da lignja ne radi na kišu.    I te kako radi. Ali zna i ne raditi isto kao što zna ne raditi  na buru.
   
9.  ako se lovi na vesla treba paziti da ne zapne i kontrolirati dubinu.
Najlon je obično u desnoj ruci.  
Lijevom rukom se vozi ili šija. Može i lagano u krug.
Zavisi o kurentu.
Ako joj se svidja ona će ga napasti ili je treba prevariti.

10. ako se lovi na sidru treba naći na kojoj je dubini obično je to jedan paš od dna.
Ako lignja diže peškafondo jednostavno treba spustiti ruku prema dolje.
Ona će biti na njemu.
Ako ga nije napala jednostavno treba imitirati bijeg u dubinu na način da se sa jednog paša udaljenosti od dna lagano sa obe ruke spusti do dna i ponovo vrati na istu poziciju ne skosavati nego malo pričekati.
Ona će sigurno biti na njemu.
Može se loviti sa obje ruke, a moguće je jednu plutajuću ribicu baciti iza sebe ako ima kurenta.                                                                  To zna biti vrlo efikasno.

11. ako se lovi po danu ili velikom mjesecu boje varalica olovnih i plutajućih moraju biti:                                                                            
ljubičasta,pink,zelena ili tamno zelena kombinacija. To je zakon!
S obzirom na područje sjeverni-srednji-južni jadran  moguće su i druge varijante.

12.Često se dogadja da se lignja meko spusti na peškafondo tako da se uopće ne osjeti ili se osjeti vrlo slabo.
Tada se ne skosaje jer će je skosavanje odvratiti od napada.
Može se samo mijenjati dubina prema površini  ili imitirati bijeg prema dnu.

13. ako se dogodi kod namatanja motovila da je došla za njim skoro na površinu u večini slučajeva treba odmah peškafondo vratiti natrag i ona bi trebala biti na njemu.                                                     Najprije se vrati do pola, ako nije napala onda se vrati na jedan paš od dna.

14. lov velikih liganja zavisi o terenu, jer ima terena gdje nećete uloviti veliku lignju, a postoje tereni gdje je možete očekivati kao da peškafondo zapne za dno ili kakvo kolo od auta i onda se pokrene. Nekad se opusti a nekad počne pumpati ne bi li se otkačila. Ako je velika ne riskirati sa izvlačenjem u brod. Treba je rukom uhvatiti izmedju glave i tijela na površini i ubaciti u kantu.

15. kad se lignja izvlači mala ili velika nije bitno, najlon treba uvijek biti zategnut, ne stajati.
Najvažniji je prvi potez.

16. na pošti se ne ostaje dugo ako ga nije ćapala.                     Najviše 15 minuta ili se mijenja alat.

17. žao mi je kad vidim da neki brzo odlaze jer se slabo lovi.
Griješe, jer idu u veliku dubinu, a oni koji su u pliće nemaju očito pravi alat.
U dublje se može stati jedan sat prije zalaska, a onda pliće.
Lignja je u kraju i često se neće bacit kad ste na sidru nego treba biti na veslima kad god je to moguće.
Lignjolovci koji love po danu se možda neće složiti sa ovim.             Ne mogu opisati lov liganja po danu, jer ne lovim po danu.
Zato ću zamoliti moje kupce sa sjevernog jadrana koji kupuju varalice za dan da mi kažu kako oni love pa ću dodati opis u narednim  danima.

18. ako lignja nikako ne radi, a može se ići na vesla osim svih ostalih trikova treba veslati lagano naprijed,
nije važno ako je peškafondo u mraku, vidi ona njega jako dobro i ne skosavati samo provjeravati dubinu da ne zapne i ponekad desnim ili lijevim veslom zašijati jedan put lagano i kod tog pokreta skosati lagano ali čvrsto.

Dilema

Vidim da ima lignjolovaca koji vole loviti sa štapom iz brodice, bilo da love na plutajuće ribice, samo peškafondo ili kombinacija. Nisam nikada lovio sa štapom iako sam vidjao takve situacije.
Nemam ništa protiv takvog lova, ali smatram da se sa štapom ne mogu isvesti trikovi koji se mogu napraviti iz ruke.                        Lov sa štapom po kurentu može biti efikasan, ali kad treba biti na sidru za to nisam siguran da je to dobro.

Mislio sam puno manje napisati ovih savjeta a znam da još nisam napisao sve.  Neki kažu da je dosadno loviti ispod ferala ali se sa njima ne slažem.  Nikad lov na feral nije dosadan. Razumijem da je dosadan kad se slabo lovi.

Mnogi pitaju neke sheme za montažu. Evo neki primjeri:

Here’s some advice on catching squids and cuttlefish from a boat:

1.Don’t go catching squids precipitately. When I see someone throwing an anchor, it gives me the hives and I just move away from them as far as I can.

2.You do not twitch the nylon like you are waving for help; if you twitch, you do it slowly.

3.If the bottom of the sea is soiled, attach a lead weight to the end of the nylon instead of the bait which would surely get stuck into something. Its weight should be approximately equal to the weight of the bait.
 
4.The bait should be ca. 1.5 m above the bottom because the squid is never at the very bottom.

5.Put a barrel swivel to about 50-60 cm from the bait. Put another one 10 cm away from this one. Between these too put a floating bait using a little clasp so you can change the bait easily. If you want to add another bait, you need to put another barrel swivel so that the bait can slide between two barrel swivels.

6.There’s another way of setting this up. Instead of using a barrel swivel, put two beads with transparent little plastic tube in the middle. To attach the bait use a noose that you pulled out through a little hole in the middle of the tube.It shoud be max. 5 cm long. This is to make sure the bait doesn’t get stuck to the main nylon.

7.Everything is the same with setting it up for catching cuttlefish, only instead of the bait you put a lead weight. The distance between the weight and the barrel swivel shouldn’t be more than 40 cm.

8.I don’t agree with those who claim that high and low tide don’t affect fishing. Well, they do. If it’s high tide and there’s moon, the squid will come to the surface. If there’s no moon, as the low tide is approaching, the squid retreats to the bottom. But if there’s moon, it’s possible the squid stays at the surface regardless of the low tide approaching. We choose our spot and depth depending on the weather and position. I won’t be mentioning depths because fishing in the northern, middle and southern Adriatic differs from each other. The terrain is different. It’s good to know that the squid comes very close to the coast. In the summer it is not the case because the sea smells of various sunscreen lotions and the squid runs away from it. If you are fishing during the summer, find a place with no swimmers. I also don’t agree with those who say that you can’t catch any squids if it’s raining. You can! But sometimes you may not catch any squids when it’s raining or when the cold northern wind is blowing.

9.If you are using oars, control the depth and watch the nylon. Usually,the nylon is in your right hand while you row with your left hand. You can move slowly in circles. It depends on the current.
 
10.If you’re riding at anchor, you have to find which depth the squid is at. Usually it is ca. 1.5 m above the bottom. If you feel the squid lifting the bait, just lower your hand, the squid will surely be on the bait. If the squid is not reacting, just imitate flight into the depth. You simply lower the bait to the bottom using both hands and then slowly lift it back again to that same position of 1.5 m above the bottom. Do not twitch now. Wait for a while. The squid will surely be on the bait. You can fish with both hands. If there’s current, throw one floating bait behind you. It can be very effective.
 
11.If you’re fishing during the day or when the moon is big, the colors of both lead and floating baits should be: purple, pink, green or dark green combination. This rules! Depending on whether you’re fishing in northern, middle or southern Adriatic, other combinations can be used.

12.Many times the squid touches the bait so gently you either feel it slightly or don’t feel it at all. In that case do not twitch because the squid will give up. You can change the depth by either imitating flight into the depth or lifting the bait towards the surface.
 
13.The squid may sometimes follows the bait to the surface. In that case you have to lower the bait again and it should attack it. First lower it to the half of the depth, if nothing happens, proceed down to 1.5 m above the bottom.

14.It depends on the terrain whether you will catch a big squid or not. There are terrains where you will never catch a big one, but on some of them you will feel like the bait got stuck to the bottom or some car wheel and then suddenly freed itself. It wasn’t actually a car wheel, it was a big squid. Sometimes it lets go, and sometimes it starts pumping in order to free itself from the bait. If it’s very big, do not risk pulling it out into the boat. Drag it to the surface, grab it between the head and the body and throw it into a bucket.
 
15.When you’re pulling a squid of any size out of the sea, the nylon should always be taut. Do not stop pulling. The first move is the most important one.
 
16.If you didn’t catch anything in 15 minutes, move to another place or change the tool.
 
17.I’m always sorry to see people leaving quickly because they didn’t catch anything. They are wrong because they are fishing too deep. And the ones who are not too deep obviously don’t have the right tool. You can fish deep until one hour before sunset, than move closer to the coast. The squid is very close to the coast and it won’t attack if you’re anchored. Use your oars whenever it’s possible. Those fishermen who fish during the day may not agree with this. Unfortunately, I can’t describe squid fishing by day because I don’t fish by day. That’s why I’m asking my fellow fishermen from northern Adriatic who buy the baits for day fishing to tell me how they do it so I could add the description one of these days.

18.If the squid isn’t reacting to the bait, and it’s possible to use oars, beside all the other tricks, you should slowly row forward. It doesn’t matter if the bait is in the dark, the squid sees it, that’s for sure. Do not twitch, only control the depth and watch for the nylon not to get stuck. From time to time you can simultaneously make one slow row, on the right or left side, and twitch slowly, but firmly.

***

Dilemma

I see a lot of fishermen catching squids with a fishing stick from their boats, using only floating baits, lead baits or a combination of the two. I’ve never used a fishing stick myself. I have nothing against that kind of fishing, but I think with a fishing stick you cannot do all those tricks you can do with your hand. When there’s current, stick fishing can be very effective, but when you have to ride at anchor, I’m not so sure stick fishing is the right choice.

It wasn’t my intention to write so much advice, but I know I still haven’t written everything. Some say that lamp fishing is boring, but I don’t agree. Lamp fishing is never boring. I understand that it’s boring if you’re not catching anything.

Many ask for some installation schemes. Here are some examples:

 Zašto kopčice za montažu plutajuće ribice?
 
Zato što se dogadja da se u takvoj kombinaciji slabije osjeti lignja na peškafondu, i dignete je na ribicu, a peškafondo crn, iako se u takvoj kombinaciji znaju uhvatiti tri lignje od puta i to dvije na peškafondo i jedna na ribicu.
U tom slučaju je najbolje skinuti ribicu i loviti samo sa peškafondom.
Lov će tako biti efikasniji.
Važno je znati: da peškafondo sa šporkim iglama ne lovi.
Najbolje se čisti tako da ga se okomito iz ruke pljusne po površini.

Efikasni trikovi za lov liganja i sipa iz brodice kad postoje uvjeti za lov veslima,
  a kad se ona mota oko peškafonda i dira ga a neće da se baci:

Why to use a clasp for installing a floating bait?
So you can easily change the floating bait or simply remove it if it’s not working. It is true that because of the clasp it’s harder to feel the squid on the lead bait, so when you catch it on the floating bait, you lift it up and see that the lead bait is full of ink. It’s important to know that dirty lead bait wont work. The best way to clean it is to splash it vertically into the sea.
If you’re using two floating baits and one lead bait (like the picture shows), you can catch three squids: two on the lead bait and one on the floating bait. In that case, it’s best to remove the floating bait and fish only with the lead bait. It will be more efficient.

Efficient tricks for catching squids and cuttlefish when there are conditions for using oars and when the squid is circling around but not making the move:

Znam da puno ljudi ne voli čitati puno teksta, ali šta ću kad želim dosta toga pojasniti onima koji to ne znaju,
a drugima će biti možda smiješno.

Ima dosta upita o vezanju najlona za zogulin, peškafondo ili ribicu, pa evo dva provjerena i sigurna veza.

I know a lot of people don’t like to read a lot of text, but what can I do when I have so much to explain to those who don’t know, while others may think it’s ridiculous.                 There’s a lot of questions about tying the nylon to the barrel swivel, lead bait or floating bait, so here are the two checked and reliable knots.

Lov sipa
Isto nisam ni spomenuo, samo ću za sada reći da se najbolji rezultati postižu ujutro od  cca 8,30 - 11,30 i to lagano na vesla ne duboko cca 13 -15 m, može i pliće ovisi o terenu.

Lovi se sa jednom ili dvije ribice. Mogu biti i plutajuće i tonuće. Najćešće će se zaletit ako se vozi iz plitkoga u dublje ili obratno. Ako se skine u izvlačenju, ne izvlačiti vani jer će se ona opet baciti na ribicu.
Potrebno je imati špurtil, jer se zna na površini skinuti i izgubili ste marendu ili ručak /crni rižot, gradele/.
Boja ribica može biti zelena, ljubičasta ili tamno zelena /boja ledja/.

Dokazi:
pameti nikad dosta. Kad su bile pune kante nije mi palo na pamet to snimit, a nisam imao u planu ni prodaju, a sad kad bi želio pokazati ulove nemam slike.

Sreća pa imam dvije slike velikih liganja da ne bi netko mislio, ovaj priča lovačke priče.

Catching cuttlefish
I will only say that the best results are achieved from 8.30 to 11.30 a.m. Row slowly, don’t go too deep, ca. 13-15 m, but you can also go shallower, it depends on the terrain.      
Use one or two baits, either lead or floating. It’s best if you move from deeper to shallower, or vice versa. If you lose the cuttlefish while pulling it out, do not pull the bait out, lower it back down, it will attack again. You need to have a hand fishing net in case the cuttlefish frees itself on the surface, then you can catch it with the net.                    The color of the bait can be green, purple or dark green /the color or ice/.

Proofs:
You can never be smart enough.                                                                                                                        When the buckets were  full, it didn’t come to mind to take a photo, and I didn’t have selling on my mind either.

So now when I’d like to show you my catch, I don’t have any photos. Luckily, I have these two photos of big squids in case someone might think: “He’s making it all up.”

Ovo je cijeli ulov te večeri, ništa posebno.

Samo za nevjerne Tome, nadopunit ću prvom prilikom.
Zdravi i veseli bili.

This is the entire catch from that evening, nothing special.
Only for the skeptics I will add more photos first chance I get.

Keep well and cheerful!
