Ultra-Light Shore Jigging Croatia (Solo Fishing)

Let me share the story of my unforgettable fishing trip in the Adriatic (Hrvatska/Croatia) that was an absolute blast! Picture this: I cast my line into the crystal clear waters, and bam! Right from the get-go, I reel in a massive saddled sea bream that was practically begging to be caught. 🐟🎣 And that was just a taste of what was to come!
As the sun was setting on my fishing adventure, I thought, "Why not give it one last cast?" And what do you know? Luck was on my side as I managed to hook a substantial gold blotches grouper, the one that had been playing hard to get throughout the entire trip. 🌅🐠
Every single one of those fish fell for the charms of a tiny, hyper-realistic soft plastic lure and a petite micro jig, both working their magic on ultra-light gear.
By the way, if the video gave you even half the thrill I had, don't hold back - drop your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback is more than welcome! 🎣

Hey buddy! Great video, I liked how excited you were about the fish. Tomorrow, I'm heading to Croatia with my wife, and I just went shopping for lures. I'll have similar gear to yours, so I hope I'll be successful too.

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hahaha I get very excited for all fish! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a nice time in Croatia with your wife! I hope you catch some good fish too, let me know how you go! Good luck 😁

[@gastonseijas2677]

Thanking God for catching a fish is so real

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hahaha it's gotta be done, was praying hard to catch on of these

[@vitofishing1]

Hi, nice video. I'm from Croatia but haven't really fished on sea that much. I'm fishing in freshwaters like some lakes and ponds. You should try to fish in freshwater with ultra light tackle because there are some nice bass, perch and of course pike in them. Hope to see you return to Croatia and do some more fishing.

[@PootuffyFishing]

I was just in Croatia a few weeks ago, but wasn't able to get much fishing done unfortunately! But when I am back I would love to explore some fresh water fishing, try to catch some pike for sure! Thank you for the comment 🫡

[@JillLesic]

Great video Loved it Sad the trip is over Looking forward to more Aussie content now

[@PootuffyFishing]

Definitely sad the trip is over now! But super excited to get back to making videos in Australia! The first Australian video is actually already been filmed and is ready to upload! Will be coming out soon :))

[@truthseekersz]

Love the Gold Blotched Grouper....beautiful fish.

[@PootuffyFishing]

Yeah it is an amazing fish! Was so happy to get one on camera after I caught one in the week prior off camera. This one was much bigger though! So happy with it :))

[@maxzapletal7906]

Bro you need to come back to Croatia bit this time some other places something like the mainland. Would love to see more fishing content from there

[@PootuffyFishing]

I can't wait to be back! Hopefully next year, I will try to go every year for the rest of my life honestly, it's such a great place! Would definitely love to fish in more locations, different islands and even freshwater fishing on the mainland! Hopefully you will still enjoy seeing me fish here in Australia, there's lots of Australian fishing content to come, I hope you enjoy it too 😁 Thank you for your feedback!! 😊

Great way to end it with that grouper bro, looking forward to some giant post-spawn flathead coming along back in Aus 🤙🤙

[@PootuffyFishing]

Absolutley man! Was the highlight of the trip as far as fishing goes, such a great way to end off a fun trip! HEAPS of Australian content to come! Will aim to make probably around 30 flathead videos this spring/summer so get keen for those! I am absolutely itching for the flathead to come back! So excited to fish the flats again!! Nice to hear from you as always, hope you're well 😊

[@paddylindsay5847]

Looks fun! Pretty sure I know that spot but had no idea it was that deep. Hope you'll be back soon. Vidimo se uskuro!

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hvala puno brat! I'll be back soon for sure! it is very deep in some areas, 30+ metres not far off shore, there are some areas up to 100 metres deep from memory of looking at an ocean depth chart! Will be back in Croatian waters very soon!

[@Ivan-pt4fc]

Great video, very underrated channel! :)

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you 🙏 means a lot

[@dasenpetric9149]

Nica fishing bro, nice island also :) that is a baby grouper, quite lucky to got it, you can keep them if they have more then 45 cm, so you see he is just a preschooler :)

[@PootuffyFishing]

Yeah he was only a small one! But I was so excited to have caught a new species in a new country! Maybe I can get a bigger one some other time :)) Thank you for watching!

[@adam.herenow]

Nice catch, but the only risk when fishing in the deeper areas that you can get stuck in the rocks like very common

[@PootuffyFishing]

Yeah I found that out when I was in Croatia last month, lost a lot of lures to the bottom unfortunately :( Thank you for watching!

Really nice vid i just wanted to ask where you got those squid lures from or what they’re called?

[@PootuffyFishing]

Uhhh that is a tricky one, they're not a popular lure, I found them in a sale section of a small tackle shop in Australia, if you google this: 'PUNI-IKA - Realistic Baby Squid Lure LUMICA' you should be able to find some online! All the best :)

I live in Malta it's a small island with the same fish I tried small lures and had no luck. I need to try that jig what's it called ?

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hi! The jig I used is a Majorcraft Jigpara Micro Jig 7grams in the Keimura Iwashi colour! Malta sounds beautiful, I hope to go there some day! 😊 All the best! Goodluck with your fishing, I hope you can catch some :))

[@adriantanfara6954]

hello canu tell me where u bought that squid lure love ur videos

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hey, if you go to the video on my channel with the squid lure as the thumbnail, in the description of that video I list the brand of the lure. Unfortunately it was given to me so I don't know where to buy it from. There's plenty of other good squid lures out there! Hope you can find a good one :)) Thank you for checking out my content, means a lot! I'm glad you enjoy my videos 😊

[@bezerking]

bro geos crazy over tiny fish

[@PootuffyFishing]

Haha I know right, what a knob. Tbf I was fishing in a new county so I was more keen about the fact that I was catching new species, that's why I was so excited really, I obviously know they're not massive hahaha

Of course!

Which fish would you like to catch?

Just fish with small lures and you should catch some small species close to shore pretty easily! Good luck :)

sta pricas ti budalo, reci to tako nekome pa ce ti zube izvadit. Razmisli prije nego sta pises nesto, a lako je na internetu pisat takve gluposti. I mislim da si mlađi od 15 godina jer nemoguce je da netko stariji od toga moze biti toliko malouman i pisati tolike gluposti. Pokaži ovo roditeljima i mozda te budu istukli i naucili pameti da se ova glupost vise ne ponovi.

did some jigging later in the video, it's a new concept to me but I'm pretty sure they call it shore jigging, if you watch to the end I catch a nice little grouper on a small metal jig :))
