Member since February 2018 Dubrovnik, Croatia

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!

Record catch! The day was perfect, wonderful weather, more than a dozen fish, wonderful snorkeling in an extraordinary cave. Excellent treat from the Captain’s garden. All in all, a wonderful day and a terrific value.

Marjan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We weren’t lucky enough to catch anything the day we went but he did everything in his power to try and make it happen. He was great to talk to and made the afternoon very enjoyable!

Booked a half day trip with captain Marjan. Spent the day mostly fishing with the exception of a stop to take a swim into a very cool spot that was reccomended by the captain (through a cave!). Being from the States, I was a bit concerned about the language barrier, but the Captains english speaking was perfect. Will go again if I’m ever back in Dubrovnik.
