Background: Ever since I was born, my family has been passionate about the sea and fishing. As I grew up, fishing was a daily activity that followed me. I practice local fishing techniques crafted through the centuries around Dubrovnik, including bottom fishing, trolling, and light jigging. In recent years, the popularity of spinning around Dalmatia got my attention too.

Is there fishing afterlife?

Jun 3, 2022 Dubrovnik

"This is my 87th country I have visited and in most of them I have gone on fishing trips. My two sisters and I take my mother on trips around the world because she said we have to take her with us when she’s gone. And so every Mother’s Day, we meet and compete in the categories we have invented. "Who took the mother to the farthest place?", the highest, the most uncomfortable place for her, the most uncomfortable place for us, etc. Mom is at the top of the Empire State Building, at the Statue of Liberty, in Alaska, and at the Dalai Lama Temple. She is now in Dubrovnik as well. She was a great Democrat and I took her to the White House during the Republican rule - she must be turning in her grave, haha! I won!" - Margo, 79 P.S. The seagull was with us on the boat all day, without any fear... Who knows... ❤️

Dubrovnik, the capital of sea monsters!

Aug 6, 2020 Dubrovnik

After several hours of fishing on Sv. Andrija (Saint Andrews) island we finally got a good strike and at first we thought the lure was stuck to the bottom. The line started going out and it was obvious there was something on. And it was the biggest fish ever, we had no idea. Since we detected tuna on our fishfinder several times we thought that it was on the rod. But it acted weird, not a tipical tuna behaviour. The line got loosen and it looked like we have lost the fish. After 10 seconds, huge fish jumped out of the water, 1m aerial and it almost splashed us with water. I asked John "Is that on your rod? And he just nodded". During our fight with a monster, a 5 meter manta swam under our boat. After 45 minutes into fight there was a huge surprise. +200 kg beautiful sunfish that got stuck on our lure by accident. Terriffic, massive, impressive fish was released successfully. What a day!

Marjan the captain, speaks great english and is a very nice guy, picked up at the hotel on time, straight onto his boat then out trawling on journey to 1st fishing mark. He has very good equipment on board and is very helpful, unfortunately for us it was quite choppy at sea and the fish weren’t biting. I did manage to catch 1 small fish and Marjan caught a passing speed boat lol. Had a lovely lunch on board of which the cheese was just great. Will do it again when we come back again, hopefully...

We booked with Captain Mike because of the good reviews and, being a lady, because there was a toilet on board. An absolute necessity for an 8 hour fishing trip! Mike picked up up from our hotel in Sipan and took us trawling straight away. We went all the way to the back of Sipan and to another island further away which was fantastic, then back round to Lopud before trawling home. Captain Mike always made sure we were comfortable, had water or beer, sorted our bait for us, celebrated our... More

This was one of those trips I enjoy the most. Very friendly couple, easy to comunicate and full of laughs! Pretty good fisherman as well! Daisy caught all of the fishes as it was her regular day on the sea, lol. We could not do anything but watch her brilliance. It was like going with old friends for a fishing round. Thanks for everything and so happy you had a nice trip!

Dear Faustas, can you please elaborate the review we just get? I tried to get you animated but basically no interaction from your side. The only thing you requested was “no waves” so thats why we stayed in the inner side of the islands and could not get the big fish. You seemed bored into fishing and asked to return 1 hour before. I tried 10 different spots and several different techniques, really tried it all. Sorry to see you dissapointed but there was nothing else I could try.
