Rigafishing is created by two of us \u2013 Toms Klabis and Gatis Ernstsons. With fishing we are very familiar, because we do it since childhood. Some time ago we were fishing in shallow lakes such as lake Babite, Kanieris and Engure, have understood the nuances of perch and pike fishing, Gatis was also seriously commited to trolling. Since the new technologies appeared \u2013 Active Target, Megalive and Panoptix Livescope, we have became experts in Live fishing.     <br\/><br\/><strong>How ofter, where and how are we fishing<\/strong><br\/>On average 130 days we are on water hunting predator fish, trophy pike and zander are caught regularly. In summer and Autumn season perch fishing is one that we love, because very often it is super active with a great amount of fish caught. <br\/>Most of the times we are fishing and guiding in Riga and near Riga waters \u2013 Daugava, Bullupe, Lielupe, Kisezers, lake Jugla and Baltezers, though, often lake Aluksne and Usma is visited. Sometimes kind of new lake is explored to change the environment. <br\/>Each fishing time we are looking for something new, experimenting and trying to understand what are the nuances to make the predator bite. The most important is not the lure, but to actually find the fish and provoke it to take what is on the other end of the fishing line.<br\/>Both of us believe that the boat equipment is very important \u2013 the set-up, calibration, settings \u2013 all of these are important for a quality time on the water. The trolling motor should stand on the anchor very well and not move the boat, sonar picture should be perfect to not miss any fish \u2013 these details pay an important role for catching more and bigger fish. We have used and understood pretty much all of the brands \u2013 Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird and Minn Kota and we are able to suggest the best equipment for your needs and do a calibration and set-up in your boat.    <br\/><br\/><strong>Fishing in Latvia with a guide<\/strong><br\/>Since 2023 we are active in social media, and already then a lot of people asked to go fishing together with us, to teach them how to catch a trophy zander or pike, or to teach how to fish with Live technologies. We have done some lotteries and those who won and came to us fishing \u2013 everyone caught some type of their personal best \u2013 let it be perch, zander or pike, and overall told they spent an excellent time on the water together with us.<br\/>In 2024 after very successful participation in the sport season and multiple podium standings \u2013 more often people asked to take them fishing together with us. Due to that \u2013 Rigafishing was born. Now there is possibility to go fishing together with us, for a fishing tour, fishing training, just cruising in a boat or asking for help on setting up boat electronics.<br\/>It does not matter if you have equipment of your own, or you will use the equipment provided by us \u2013 we will do our best to give you huge amount of new knowledge, catch your trophy and capture an excellent emotions from the fishing trip.   <br\/><br\/><strong>Achievements in sport fishing<\/strong><br\/>Predator fishing from boats since 2024 we are participating together, but already prior to that we had some notable achievements: <br\/>1st place in Kurzemes Championship in Autumn tour 2025<br\/>2nd place in Kurzemes Championship in Summer tour 2025<br\/>2nd place (perch total lenght) in Riga Bass 2025<br\/>6th place in Garmin Predator Cup 2025<br\/>3rd place in Night Cup 2025<br\/>1. place and title Latvian Champions in predator fishing from boats 2024<br\/>1. place Latvian championship tour in lake Usma 2024<br\/>1. place (biggest perch caught) in Riga Bass tournament 2024<br\/>1. place Night Cup 2024<br\/>1. place (3 days 1-1-1) Latvian Championship tour in lake Aluksne 2024<br\/>2. place in largest commercial tournament Garmin Predator Cup 2024<br\/>3. place Garmin Predator Cup 2023<br\/>1. place Night Cup 2023<br\/>3. place Riga Predator Cup 2022<br\/>2. place Garmin Predator Cup 2022<br\/>2. place in tour in Riga and 4. place in year standing in Latvian Championship in Street Fishing 2021<br\/>Other achievements and medals in different tournaments <br\/><br\/>Want to go fishing with us?<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/book-a-date\/\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">BOOK A DATE<\/mark><\/strong><br\/><\/a><br\/><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13342","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"razzi-blog-grid":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"rigafishing_gx0lph","author_link":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/author\/rigafishing_gx0lph\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13342"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13617,"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13342\/revisions\/13617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rigafishing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
