Hammer Tackle presents: Like a clockwork – Steffen Hambsch Daniel Hammer meets his long-time mate Steffen Hambsch for a night at the bankside at the beginning of September and asks him questions ab...
I'm getting less and less comfortable with social media. I'm not at all interested in what Hinz and Kunz do all day and what they spread on the Internet - but I'm still attracted to it....
Catch photos at night (part 2)
The most important thing for good catch photos at night is motivation. But after overcoming your weaker self – which is not always easy at three at night – a bit of routine and a trained eye for th...
Catch photos at night (part 1)

There's news at Hammer Tackle, pretty great news! What's up? My previous “one-man show” is growing! My long-time friend and mental companion Alexander Kobler will be leading Hammer Tackle w...

Carp Austria, now also as a moving image!
Here are a few more scenes from Carp Austria in Vösendorf - probably less serious and less informative than most of the trade fair review videos. But that's exactly how it should be. Have fun w...
Where do I start, where do I end? I don't know, but what I do know is that it will probably be a rather unconventional review of the trade fair... As a carp fishing nomad, you should almost be ...
