Pelagicevo Lake

The excellent management of the last 15 years has created a mouth-watering stock. The current lake record currently stands at 37.8 kilos, but there are already at least 6 fish swimming that exceed the 30 kilo mark. The number of fish between 25 and 30 kilos is around 30, while the number of fish above 20 kilos is well over 90. The number of fish in the lake has been deliberately kept on the lower side so that the fish have more than enough food to continue growing. This is also reflected in the average weight of no less than 19 kilos. Yet the water contains 450 carp, of which 30% are common carp and 70% are mirror carp. And this is clearly visible in recent years and even now the fish still show a nice growth curve. Who knows what the future record will be.

The fishing spots
The lake itself has 9 double swims and 1 single swim, but because we have exclusive weeks we only fill 6 double swims. This gives every angler a lot more fishing water at his disposal. For this reason, one can also fish with 4 rods each instead of the normally allowed 3 rods. Each site is spacious and tidy. You can easily get there by car or (small) camper and you can also leave your car at the site all week. Bait boats are allowed, although you are required to leave the lights on your bait boat on at night. Zig rig fishing is prohibited. Because Bosnia is outside the EU, telephone and internet costs can be quite high. Keep this in mind! Partly for this reason, WiFi is available around the lake so that you can still upload your catches or keep in touch with those back home.

Present at every site:
At Pelagicevo they take biosecurity very seriously and provide you with all the angling equipment needed to land, weigh and care for the carp you catch. This includes a landing net, unhooking mat and weighing belt/holder
Make sure you don’t take these items with you. We require a deposit of €50 for these items. You will receive this back at the end of the week if the kit is returned undamaged.

The fish stock
The common carp lake record is 37.8 kg and the mirror carp lake record is 34.2 kg!
“We are absolutely certain that the lake has great potential. Young carp are showing off with their incredible growth. There are currently no carp under 10kg in the lake and we will keep it that way. There are currently 450 carp in it the lake, with an average weight of 19 kg. By adding another 150 carp to the lake in the autumn, we want to slightly increase the fish mass. All carp placed in the lake from this point on are carefully selected to best genetic growth potential. Nowadays the lake is known for offering a good challenge for every angler and we would like to keep it at this level. We strive for quality over quantity (not too many carp but big ones). We can make it happen ensuring that it will be more of a pleasure and at the same time provide a great challenge.”
Other fish species in the lake: grass carp, catfish, pike, pike-perch, bream, roach

Some tips for fishing Pelagicevo Lake
Do not feed too much (1-1.5 kg per bait boat)
For fishing we recommend a mix of pellets and boilies
Split the rods (do not put the rods together in one fishing spot)
Do not touch the bait for 48 hours
Use less and better bait: quality over quantity
We recommend using boilies that are spicy or based on meat/fish
