First day out on the boat since January yesterday. Expectations weren’t too high as very small tides and east winds but it was my first chance for ages to get afloat so just happy to be out. Early start with my bro picking me up at 4am (3 am in reality) for a 6am launch. There were 3 boats out and once we were all launched we headed off down to a bank around 10 miles down channel. The conditions deteriorated as we got further out and by the time we got the anchor down it was quite lumpy. A few rays soon came to the boat and the odd doggie but after a couple of hours we decided on a move closer inshore to another bank to see if it was more comfortable. Here it was flat calm and the sea bed must have been carpeted with rays. At least 4 times I had thornbacks on all 3 rods at the same time. We must have had over 50 rays between us in a few hours along with a few straps and dogs. It was mostly small males but I did have a decent female thornie which went 11-8. Again the winds picked up so we spent the last hour and a half in the river looking for a bass with just the 1 bite to me which was my first silver of the year at 3-6. Overall a great day in some challenging conditions.

Hi Andy,
Austria is offering lots of mountain-rivers with large populations of trout-species. Flyfshing is the gentlemens technique and those who "cast the fly" sometimes recognize their fishing as an art. So from very cold rivers with ideal conditions for trouts we also have slow nutricious rivers that join the danube like the river March. In 2014 someone catched a "pacu" there, a vegetarian piraniah... obviously a invasive species i belive.

The danube itself hosts a very special lifeform, the beluga sturgeon, or sometimes called "Monsterstör" or "Donaustör", or "Hausen"
I have never seen a living one myself but we belive they swallow children swimmin to far into the river 😉

Thanks for asking, but i thought people do not like to see this linked or mentioned in the introduction
