KYLEROBZ 295 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) A question to the comunity and also to the devs regarding the volga zander and how it seems to spawn in any of its given positions. Firstly id like to start with what iv noticed and that is while finding spots as is with most fish seems quite easy, howether it was by far the hardest uni for me to catch so far only catching 3 unis in total. Commons in most spots usualy i get 2-3 but then when i catch a trophy only 1 trophy per spot at the time then no more and no uni regardless. If i catch the uni i would have no trophy in that spot. So my question first to the comunity is this.... Does anybody get the same results with that fish or has anybody had a trophy and a uni in the exact same spot and time (not day 1 then day 2) same day? And now my question for the devs... Is this intentionally how the volga has been set to spawn or have you perhaps accidently common catches like trophies and trophies like uniques? Just seems odd that such a small fish seems so rare to catch when most others are so easy especially there bigger counterpart european zander 10 uni spots and still counting. A challenge is always fun and if intentional i have no problems with it remaining this way but would be nice to hear your veiws on it Update: just got another uni second cast, damn you fp are you testing me... same applies with topic oviously a lucky catch Edited March 30, 2019 by kylerobz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PH_Carpman99 292 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I was fishing a early morning peak (say 3-5am) and got quite a few trophies among the commons before a Uni showed up. Right place, right time and right weather I spose. It did take quite some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right place, right time and right weather I spose. It did take quite some time. Yeh maybe more activity throught night time. The only 1 thing is you play pc not ps4 correct? I mean nothing by it it just seems like pc alot more activity in them from streams iv veiwed during day time. I have many spots for many fish and know where and when in some cases to go like strait after i got uni i moved further down to another spot where i had also caught uni and same thing again trophy zander then trophy volga then only 1 common volga there after if you see where im going with this. Finding fish is no issue i have 5-10 uni spots for almost every euro fish so far which i can go to regular all different times weather etc but these volga just seem like no other fish. I caught the trophy alaska blackfish easyer than the volga. Thank you for your coment though i will be testing next time i go to russia as iv just left there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will gladly read thank you yes 1 spot iv had a uni from also further left and further right and at back of hole when you come out of the stream area forget the name of peg i have had trophies it seems the volgas tend to sit close from holes to pritty much your feet in most locations but will defo be testing eary hours of morning to see if they become more consistant than they do in the daytime Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ivanlobo77 2 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 And whether any of you caught the volga zender on the ground or just spinning is an option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PH_Carpman99 292 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Cannot remember catching any Uniques (Volga Zanders) on bait, used lures (like Narrow and Medium spoons) as it is easier to target them that way (mainly to avoid the Cats). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ivanlobo77 2 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 And another unlucky weekend in Russia, there were chubs, ides, perches, pikes and catfish all uni and even a beluga of 59.2 kg but only a trophy volga zender Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlteredApe 3 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 The Trophy Volga seems most elusive. I’ve just spent 5 days tying to catch one. Got a few normal ones but nothing more. That’s from the dock, by the bridge all over at peak times. Not known another fish like it in FP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PH_Carpman99 292 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Suggest keeping the retrieve close to the bottom (maybe up to around midwater), using twitching, stop and go and lift and drop retrieves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlteredApe 3 Posted Tuesday at 09:56 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:56 AM Thanks @PH_Carpman99 Managed to catch one over the weekend. stop and go along the bottom, casting from the boat dock. After that managed to catch several Uni's Bit like buses, you wait for ages for 1 then several turn up. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ivanlobo77 2 Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM Congratulations because I'm still on the trail. He tries everywhere and in all ways for a 15cm worm and medium spoon 4/0, but I guess I'm not lucky. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlteredApe 3 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I used the purple narrow spoon, 1/0 hook. The uni’s were on the red medium spoon with 4/0 hook down by the bridge. Good luck. Edited 2 hours ago by AlteredApe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
