Today's recommendation – September
Good chances today. Stable air pressure. Cold – perch & pike still active Insider tip: September: autumn feed begins! Pike and zander loading up reserves — bigger lures, aggressive retrieves.
Wind tip today
Wind from WSW – the lee shore (downwind) is often more productive, where food and fish gather.
Bait tip – September
Target species: Hecht – Large soft baits (15–20 cm), jerkbaits, dead-bait on the bottom. Autumn feed! Predators are loading up reserves — big fish are on the cards.

The fishing year at a glance.
Spring
Water temperature rises slowly. Perch move into shallow bays, pike finish spawning. Best time: from mid-April along weed edges.
Summer
Warm and nutrient-rich. Predators bite early morning or evening. Night fishing for eel and catfish is most productive now.
Autumn
Pike and zander feed up for winter. Large soft swimbaits & a slow presentation get the big ones now.
Winter
Cold and clear. Target species in deeper troughs. Vertical jigging from the boat or a bottom rig at dusk give the best chances.
