Welcome Jaro.
You have a nice country. I've driven to Chomutov from Chemnitz, Germany for work.
What kind of fishing do you do in Czech Republic?
Hi Jaro, from sunny Western Australia, all good helpful people here, a great family, enjoy, cheers Don.
Hello Jaro from Florida. Stay in touch and show us your fishing pictures.

Best regards, Jaro, from frigid Minnesota (yes, I went fishing on Mon. in insulated coveralls, with gloves.)

Thank you guys. The fishing here is freshwater, off course, we have rivers and ponds. Biggest fish you can get is wels catfish, though they do not grow as heavy as in spain or italy. Other than that pike and perch. I just lure fish most of the time, on kayak or bellyboat. It takes some skill (of which I have preciouss little) to catch well on these pressured waters, but heck one must try.

Hello, Jaro, and welcome to the Forum . . . My name is Dave from North Carolina on th East Coast of the USA !
Since you are from the Czech Republic, I have a favor I would like to ask of you .
Would you be able to translate a magazine article, written in Czech, into English ? There are also some words on drawings.
I will attach them . . . Please let me know !
Thank you for looking at this information for me, Jaro !
Welcome, again, my friend !
Tight Lines !
Dave
I can translate it for you, but its a lot of work. I know well the magazine, I used to have a subscription when I was a kid and loved it and build lots of models from the plans which were always attached.

Is that Salmon you have there on the picture? We have just reintroduced it into our biggest river. The program goes for about 10 years and there are big ones to catch (even thou accidentally - as they are protected whole year).

Well, sea is better I guess :D
A big hearty welcome from snowy west michigan, usa
Jaro, what species do you fish for and it in rivers mostly?
Rivers and ponds (for we have no big natural lakes) mostly. Its a small country. I like catfish, they can grow big and be challenge, or pike and perch. No bass here, but we have zander. You can only fish for predatros from 16.06. so before that in year I mostly go carping.

Jaro,
Nice Catfish !
Do you have "Hushpuppies" in the Czech Republic ?
http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/262/Hush_Puppies7265.shtml (http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/262/Hush_Puppies7265.shtml)Corn And Onion Hush Puppies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups yellow corn meal
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper if desired
1 can (15 ounce size) creamed corn
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
Directions:
In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients. In smaller bowl mix together the remaining ingredients. Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix thoroughly.
Mixture will be very thick. Heat oil in skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
Using a teaspoon gently slide spoonfuls of mixture into the hot oil. Taking care to hold the spoon close to the oil to prevent splashing the hot oil on you. When mixture starts to stick to spoon, simply rinse in a cup of water. Gently stir at least once to ensure even browning. Remove from oil when deep brown, it takes approx. 3 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain.

No no, this is unknown recipe to me, traditionall for a catfish here is safron sauce and gravy.
;)
j.
Welcome hawkwind, tell us more about your traditional recipe. Sounds interesting . I like mine plain or with ketchup. Lots of catfish to catch where I live. A subdivision lake catfish. Keep posting your fish pics here on A.T. Thx
Honestly dont know the actual recipe, I just fry them or grill them :D
You have different catfish, this species was also introduced here, more than 100 years ago, but I suppose its somehow too cold for them, they only grow about 12" big at the most. We call them "Truman", guess why ? :D
Our european catfish - wells can be very big, 160-170 pounds here and up to 2 meters long. In Itally or spain the get bigger and heavier 2,40 m and current record is around 150 kilos, that would be upwards from 300 pounds. They are also more predatory I suppose, you can catch them with lures.

Jaro,
Cats are good eating, I used to fish for cats every weekend with my work buddy from Malaysia in Smithville lake dam, MO. We would catch a dozen in a few hours on chicken liver. MI is too polluted I do catch cats here but weary about eating them. I favor farm raised ones instead.
How big are the pike?
zander - funny story about it, here in MI most restaurants have "perch" on the menu, if you look closely, it is actually zander. good eatching either way.
Wow Jaro.
Those size cats could eat someone easily.

Jaro,
You mean it WAS an unkown recipe to you . . . "Hushpuppies" are a great tradition in the Southeastern United States.
If you try those Hushpuppy recipes, it is possible that you might become the FIRST "Redneck Czech" ( joke ) in the Czech Republic !
Just in case, here is the definition of the word "redneck"
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/redneck (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/redneck)And a little "mood music" to bring it all together - LOL !

I know what a redneck is, if there was a czech version, it would be me. :D

Frank,
No, it's a move of "desperation" . . . I've been trying, for over 10 years, to find someone who can translate that for me !

Its also a week of work in my free time and honestly I might and I stress word "might" get to it in January. You need the model build instructions or the foreword which is just the rocket history - you can google that. Worse its plain pictures and no OCR, that is dificult to work with. The inscriptions on the drawings are polish as it comes from yet another magazine of that time. I had all issues of the magazine untill recently, when I thrown it all into garbage. Few years ago I might had this in paper form actually.

Jaro,
I am very grateful for you taking the time and making the effort to help me with this !
If possible, I would like to get all of it translated . . . I never knew the drawings were labelled in Polish.
Many, many thanks !
