Vantastic Lukas: Spring in Spain
Wintering in Portugal It's been over 3 months since I last wrote a blog. A lot has happened during this time and I simply haven't had the motivation to write about the current situation. Ra...

Hit the road Jake: New city, new luck (2)
A look into the landing net, your knees shake, then a scream of joy across the river. Secretly I was hoping for a fish like that. Of course not a giant for the German quarry lake conditions, but th...
Hit the road Jake: New city, new luck
Wind, waves, a slightly salty taste on the tongue. With every step I sink slightly into the fine sand. The brackish water washes coolly around my bare feet. I can't see the ground, even though ...
The dream spot Bianca and I spent a week in a wonderful place far away from any civilization. We were standing directly on a large headland of a several hundred hectare reservoir in the Algarve of ...
Guido Richard: A premiere in Saint Cassien (2)
The wind didn't stop blowing during the night, the clouds in the sky darkened and gave hope of rain during the day. It must be 10am when I open my eyes, slumped on the flat chair, a little disa...
Spain in fast forward Bianca and I have covered a few kilometers since the last blog post. As quickly as we arrived in Asturias, a region in northern Spain on the Atlantic side, we left again just ...
Guido Richard: A premiere in Saint Cassien (1)

Vantastic Lukas: Let yourself drift towards Portugal
Atlantic here we come The few cold days in the Pyrenees were enough for us to want to move on to the warmer areas as quickly as possible. But I couldn't really say goodbye to France yet, so we ...
The time has come When I finished my session at Teufelssee almost a week and a half ago, it was already clear what was coming next. For over 2 months I had been in contact with a lovely young woman...
The Adventures of Franck: BRAKASS, another vision

Vantastic Lukas: Mixed fishing year
First of all, arrive... When I arrived at “Lac du Diable” almost 2 weeks ago and met up with my buddy Aurelien and his buddy Guilhem, I didn't really feel like fishing. The weather didn't s...
A day of carp fishing on beautiful Lake Bled
It's the same almost every year. At the end of August, the really hot weather goes away for the first time – at least for a few days. And it's exactly these days that the carp are really hi...
Vantastic Lukas: Late summer in southern France
Waiting time - fishing time Together with my friend Sébastien we went to the doctor he trusted at the beginning of last week. The reason for my symptoms was then to be examined in a laboratory. So ...
Vantastic Lukas: Good times - bad times
The last night at the “feel-good spot” When I wrote the last blog at my “feel-good spot” right on the lake in a fantastic location, I had already stayed there for 9 days. Not really successful with...
Lucas in Search of Magic: The Carp from the Forgotten Valley Part 1
Last year, during my summer trip, I decided to spend a few days in a valley to escape the high temperatures in the south of France. Always the same topo, an endless check of Google Maps with the re...

Vantastic Lukas: Constant changes of water
Bathers and campers everywhere There was just too much going on at the waters in the region at my friend Sebastien's place at the moment... I didn't feel like mingling with the crowd of bat...
Shutdown Fishing: A spontaneous road trip through Germany
Brisk wind shakes me awake early in the morning. The stretched tarp gradually comes loose because the short pegs can hardly find a hold in the fine sediment of the sand bank. Through sleepy eyes, y...
Vantastic Lukas: Things always turn out differently
Unexpected water level After about two hours of driving, I reached the lake in the Pyrenees. It showed itself in a picture that I had never seen before: the water level was very high at this time o...
