The garfish are here
14-05-2012
We haven't had the best summer weather lately, but still the garfish have arrived - and they can be found all along our coasts. They hit just about anything, but especially silvery lures in long or relatively slender designs work well. The Hansen Stripper lure in sizes from 5 - 6.9cm are great, and if you have problems hooking up with the fish, try mounting a smaller treble hook - for instance a #14 hook.

Massive chromer from Southern Denmark
08-05-2012
This is what a real chromer should look like. The fish was caught by Stefan Jensen on the coasts of Southern Denmark, and it delivered an explosive fight with lots of heady runs. The fish measured 70cm and weighed in just shy of five kilos.
Great sea trout fishing can still be had in the early morning hours and in the evening. The garfish are arriving in great numbers at the moment, and long, slender lures such as the Hansen Silver Arrow, the Lotus and the Keel Tobis are perfect for these summer guests.

One more on the Stripper
01-05-2012
Kenneth Basland visited the Danish coast near Svinoe in mid April, and tides were really pushing a lot of water. After a mere 10 minutes, he felt the pull from a big fish, and seconds later a real silver bar came flying out of the water with his white Hansen Stripper lure in its mouth. After a hectic battle with lots of runs and drama, he could beach a beautiful chromer measuring 70cm and weighing 4.5 kilos.
Great fishing can still be had along the coasts, but with the arrival of the garfish, the best time to fish for them is early morning and late evening (night).

Sea trout along the open coasts.
24-04-2012
Danish coastal fisherman, Jack Schultz has had some great fun lately fishing the open coastal stretches of his local waters. He has landed an impressive amount of fish, and especially the Hansen Stripper and Lotus spoons have produced fish.
The sea trout fishing is still very good at the moment, but it won't be long before the garfish come in prolific numbers. And then the sea trout fishing will be a predominant night activity.

7.8 kilo seatrout on the Fight lure
21-10-2011
This one was just brought to our attention. Swiss fisherman Wettstein Eugens caught this magnificent sea trout while visiting the Danish Island of Bornholm in May this year. Casting a Hansen fight lure from the coastal shores, he hooked this massive fish which fought like it was never going to run out of power.
Despite its immense power reserves, Wettstein managed to land the fish - and it was a real lunker with a lenght of 86cm and a weight of 7,6 kilos.

Seatrout on the Silver Arrow
19-10-2011
Thorkild Soerensen was out fishing one of his favourite coastal stretches a couple of days ago, and the conditions were rough and cold. The winds had picked up, and so Thorkild chose a lure that was able to cast far despite the turbulence. The choice was the new Hansen Silver Arrow in the colour Yellow Green Silver, and the result was a nice silvery sea trout which fought valiantly in the cool fall water.

Fall spoon colours
13-10-2011
Quite often, fall sea trout fishing is characterized by fish that are finicky and difficult. The fish are moving towards the rivers to spawn, and in the process, they slowly stop feeding actively. They simply become too focused on the task at hand.
Some seatrout will already have entered the rivers by now, but the coast will hold lots of fish none the less - a mixture of coloured pre-spawn fish and silvery ones, who for one reason or the other, have decided to skip spawning.
The water temperatures are plummeting, and for the spin fisherman this means that certain spoons are to be preferred over others. Especially hot colours, such as red, yellow, orange, and green are good when the water temperatures are low, and these colours have another advantage. They seem to be able to make large pre-spawn fish strike out of pure aggression, and so colours such as MJ, Jaffa, Red Black, Yellow Green Silver, and Orange Yellow Gold are great alround colours for the upcoming period.

Bombarda and Micro-Stripper action
30-09-2011
The Hansen micro-Stripper lures are perfect for bombarda fishing, and they have a particularly luring effect on fall trout. The lures themselves don't weigh much more than 4grams, so unless you're fishing small rivers the bombarda float is necessary to get the spoon out there where the big trout swim.
Simply pull the line through the bombarda and the bombarda stick and mount a swivel in which you attach 2,5 - 3,5 meters of fluorocarbon leader. Tie the Micro Stripper onto the leader, and then you're ready to go.
Depending on the water depth and how fast you want to retrieve the lure, you can use either a floating, and intermediate or a sinking bombarda float.

Salmon on the Hansen Stripper
15-08-2011
Thomas Ask Rasmussen was out fishing a stretch of the by now legendary Skjern River in the Southern part of Jutland. In broad day light, he succeeded in teasing this lovely chrome salmon into striking his favourite Hansen Stripper spoon - and then the fight was on. The fish delivered a heady fight with lots of eager runs, but in the end it surrendered and was beached by the experienced angler.
