The project "Fishing guide". My first trip with the client.
Yesterday I had to work and try to taste the "sweet" bread, earn fishing guides )).
Will tell you, friends, how was this day for me and my first client - Sergei.
A call from Sergei came literally on the third day after placing my "Form guide" on the portal "RSG". He and his family had planned to celebrate his Birthday and the anniversary of living together with a spouse (15 years old) in the hotel "Konakovo river club" (Ivankovskoe reservoir). And Sergei really wanted to complement their experience from these events, good fishing, accompanied by a knowledgeable person. As the accommodation in KRK they booked in advance, and call me he did well before the scheduled date of fishing (August 8), almost 3 weeks.
The closer the day "x" Sergei more and more immersed in the preparatory "fishing fever".)) Repeatedly Called me with questions, what gear to buy, how to dress, what to take to the boat , in addition to gear...Obviously worried)).
Before fishing we control phoned to confirm the time when I take it off the docks Konakovo river club (agreed on 6 am).
What this meant for me? Wake up at 1.00 a.m., 2.00 to go from the garage to 5.00 to arrive at the boat ramp yacht club "Frigate" where is our boat. 45 minutes to prepare the boat for the exit ( to mount devices, electric, to test the systems). And not to forget the 3 liters of drinking water ( with Sergey was agreed an 8-hour fishing trip,and on a summer day to drink obviously want to), and life vest for the client (GIMS does not sleep).
At 5.45 the boat was ready to fishing, and I went out on the water.
At five minutes to 6: 00, I was at the pier of KRK. Sergei, too, was already in place)). Quickly met in person, loaded his belongings and gear, and go! Fish is not waiting...)))
Forecasters, as usual, lied with the forecast Promised... it was a Sunny day, 22 degrees and a light wind of 3 to 4 MS , and in fact most of the day the wind was 6-7 m at least.. cloudy weather with occasional outputs of the sun from behind the clouds and cool enough (+15-17 degrees). Shame The Met! ))
On the way to the first fishing spot in short I told Sergei about the intricacies of finding and catching predators in the Ivankovo reservoir ( and we're targeting walleye and pike). He received all my counsel, consonant with the fact that I give in a series of publications "to Catch a trophy and not go broke on primanka!"acquired a minimal set of silicone (2 packs) , packaging doubles , 5 lead and 3 weight weight 18,20 and 22 grams. Will be lower As you can see, this simple set proved enough for successful fishing!
At the first location we arrived at 6.30 am. Honestly, nemnogo froze on the road. And so it was not hot, but still the boat was under 60 km / h... But quickly warmed up when using devices saw that fish on the point there, and began feverishly to prepare gear for fishing.
From the first casting is the presence of the required us Sudakov and Berchem confirmed weak bites... I tried to put the boat so that Windchill client is convenient and throw, and to carry out the transaction. After the first casts of Sergei and depositing , on my recommendations, some changes in his technique of casting and animation, jig baits, what happened , what we actually were in the same boat... Good Sergei biting, cutting, and the first in his life spinning trophy bent his rod. With the help of net I helped to make a good walleye in the boat!
That was really fun!!!))) "Sabre dance" from "Gayane" performed by the hot Caucasian men ( of emotion) weak similarity to what happened in the boat next 10 minutes))). But slowly, the dust settled and emotions, a photo session was held with the trophy,and fishing continued...
Hung around in the area, trying different setting on the fish. Caught a few perch-the halfling and 3 Berchem (which is not bad in "gluconate"). Held on location around 2 hours, after which it was decided to change the place. Given the client's wishes to see as much as possible in the waters, I sent a boat to the side of Dubna. It is beautiful, reservoir wide and on it are scattered several archipelagoes of small and large islets.
Swept clear up the wave "with the wind" )). I told Sergei about the history of fishing in this and other reservoirs. And Listened to his story about a small fishing experience ( mostly on the paysite).
Arrived at the intended point. And there wave with a half-meter and a complete lack of fish...Blew all)). Being of good cheer, went undercover to one of the Islands, hoping to find the bass, and the pickerel too, will not be.
In one place, at a depth of about 4 meters, the device appeared a flock of small fish. This picture is for Ivan'ky - a good sign! Choosing easy for the customer statement, omit electric motor that get up on a GPS-anchor. Quickly explain to Sergei what to do, and show the direction of the cast (e-compass, networked with Chartplotter is a great thing! Allows you to accurately understand where relative to the boat is the point of casting.)
From the fifth or sixth cast she took the bait! Followed the second act of "Gayane" - "Dance with spinning and pike" ))). But it's okay, fish in the net)). Sergei happy. For him, EVERYTHING is place! First outing on the water and in the standings yesterday seemed impossible trophies of perch and pike! In addition to a few of Berchem And...
Had another photo shoot with the trophy - in memory. Say "Sergey, after a couple of years when you, I'm sure, will be an avid spinner and caught not one major trophy, the photos will remind you how it all began..." He just smiles and nods.

The time allotted for fishing, was nearing completion. The last couple of hours I decided to spend Moskovskom the Bay and wind down, and to the AAC at hand. In this place we managed to catch a few small perch and Berchem. Because remember - caught my streamer bream weighing about a kilogram. This trophy for Sergey was a complete surprise (bream took the bait to be honest, gobbled up the whole streamer with double). He did not know (now know) that all "peaceful" fish is very conditional, and the same bream, roach and usterki (large) often tempted to jig the lure. About Rudd do not speak It on a spinning catch became so frequent that Rudd even taken to offset some of the competition anglers.
At 14.00 the first boat fishing on spinning for Sergei ended. On the dock of KRK EGE was already waiting for all the family. The enthusiasm of his catch was not the end! As the same, because the folder brought a real trophy! And a pike and a pike perch and even bream ( which it was decided to withdraw to please the mother-in-law of Sergey).
Farewell to the happy family , I went to Fox to put the boat in the Parking lot, to ship all belongings back in the car, and ran into the side of the house...
Didn't get home until after 5 hours. Traffic on the ring road and the Leningradskoye motorway to... upon arrival And collapsed on the sofa, tired as a dog.
For me, this departure was not easy. Almost sleepless night... 3 hours driving to Konakovo, 8 hours on the water, 1.5 hours "to disassemble" the boat and 5 hours back just exhausted.
Financial result: client received 8 you.with rubles.
Gasoline for machine - 2 thousand rubles.
Gasoline for the boat - 2 thousand rubles.
Parking the car in a guarded Parking lot - 100 rubles.
Drinking water - 150 rubles.
Total balance is positive - 3,75 thousand rubles.
Fatigue hell And...
The results of this trip will be hard to think on the optimization process. Need to find a cheap place to stay after the end of fishing (a hotel or hostel) within 300-500 rubles for a "few hours of sleep). Return travel should be scheduled 10-11 PM to avoid the hellish traffic on the road. It is better to sleep on the spot and come home in the morning, but not killed in the trash...
Ideal clients for 2 -3 days in a row. Then the costs will be optimal, and earnings with a total exit would be more significant.
I wonder what the fishermen say in this occasion)). So easy "bread" fishing guide?
Отлично друг! Люблю рыбалку 🐟🐟 😉 удачи 🍀
