Sustainable fishing in the Baltic Sea: Making every rod count

Embrace the change

The golden era of fishermen teeming on the Pomeranian coast is but a distant memory. Climate change, seals, cormorants, diplomatic inertia, and the escalating industrialization of Baltic waters have taken a heavy toll on fish stocks, virtually halting the once- booming fishing tourism. However, there's a silver lining. Upping the sustainability ante, numerous coastal companies have emerged, offering more than just a good catch. Let's dive into an exciting, eco-friendly fishing venture with Jörg Dobke's Master Guiding.

Master Guiding: Rethinking the catch

The 55-year-old, Neubrandenburg-based fisherman has been renowned for his environmentally-conscious approach to fishing for years. Aiming to break away from mass exploitation, Master Guiding prioritizes sustainable fishing: only taking what can be eaten immediately, rather than overfishing. With expertly tailored trips designed for sea trout, pike, and salmon, anglers can enjoy an adrenaline-pumping fishing day while indulging in a unique Baltic adventure.

Reels, sails, and sea encounters

Customers of Master Guiding aren't limited to professional anglers. Vacationers, families with kids, and rookies seeking an enthralling boating and fishing adventure flock to the guided tours. Every trip is designed as an unforgettable experience, not merely restricted to angling, but also encompassing breathtaking natural sightseeings like the King's Chair, Cape Arkona, and Rügen's coastline. Encountering seals, sea eagles, herons, and even dolphins are common experiences that turn their sea excursions into memorable nature escapades.

International appeal and unique perks

Customers from Austria, Switzerland, and beyond have already embarked on Master Guiding's sustainable fishing odyssey. These trips can be booked weeks in advance, offering a plethora of options such as a short taster course, a full-day Baltic Sea or Bodden tour, and attractive gift vouchers.

The right catch, the perfect day

Overfishing is a concern, but Dobke assures that the combination of fishing and sailing trips, paired with exhilarating nature encounters, provides relaxation on the water and angling satisfaction that isn't solely about the quantity caught. Stellar outcomes include Dobke's 14-kilogram salmon caught off Rügen in March, despite the challenging salmon season that year.

Fishing, after all, is a game of patience and skill, and with Master Guiding, that's exactly what you'll find in every rod cast: a thrilling challenge with nature.
