Silver Pirate 490 is the name of the latest newbuilding at Kuhnle Werft. With a length of 4.90 metres its the smallest boat we have built so far and has neither a kitchen or a berth. Nevertheless, she will quickly become popular, the Silver Pirate 490 is designed to meet the needs of anglers. Four rod holders and a built-in small wet storage basin, comfortable bucket seats and a combination of depth sounder and chart plotter with 7 inch touch screen and plenty of space for fishing equipment, cool boxes and bait bags. With the flat bottom made of seawater-resistant aluminium, it can run aground on the beach, the robust material can sometimes take a bump without being damaged. In addition, aluminium does not rust and there is no growth on the hull, so you can do without underwater paint. The helmsman has a good overview of the fishing area and crew at all times from his stand lying with the ship. The motorisation with a 15 HP (11 kW) outboard engine means that it can be driven without a licence.
Special service: You can take over your boat at 6 p.m. and have to return it the next morning at 8.30 a.m., so you can enjoy the sunset from the boat or have the whole night time to catch zander, pike or eel.

fishing grounds
Mecklenburg Small Lake District
![[Translate to Englisch:] Die Aquino 1190 ein Hausboot von KUHNLE-TOURS leg an einem kleinen Steg an](/fileadmin/user_upload/Kuhnle_Tours/Hausboot/200x130%20Akkordeon/Reviere/Deutschland/Mecklenburgische-Kleinseen.jpg "[Translate to Englisch:] Angelurlaub ganz nah an der Natur")
You will enjoy the luxury of being able to spend your holidays directly above the fishing place. Especially the small lakes offer a great variety of fish - from the bait fish to the big pike you will find everything here. By the stringing together of the many small lakes you can explore daily a new fish district and provide for alternation with your fish meals.
Mecklenburg Larges Lakes
![[Translate to Englisch:] KUHNLE-TOURS Hausboot liegt bei Damerow](/fileadmin/user_upload/Kuhnle_Tours/Hausboot/200x130%20Akkordeon/Reviere/Deutschland/Mecklenburgische-Grossseen-Damerow-anleger.jpg "[Translate to Englisch:] kapitale Hechte finden Sie in den Grossseen")
You rarely see them and yet they are always there: fish. Whether you want to eat, buy or catch fish, the big lakes are rich in fish. Müritz, Kölpinsee, Fleesensee, Plauer See and their bays and tributaries offer a wealth of delicious fish. For all those who do not fish themselves or do not know their way around, here are the farms of the fishery Müritz-Plau (the Müritzfischer), which are open to the public and have locations around the Oberseen. By the way: You can dock well with all of them and you can also get a cool beer or ice cream.
Brandenburg Lake District
The Brandenburg Lake District is also ideal for fishing. With hundreds of designated fishing waters, choosing the right one can be a bit difficult. One of the most famous and tastiest fish is certainly the Havelzander, but other species such as brash, pike or eel can also be fished from the waters.
For fishing for peace fish like roach, carp and co. you only need a fishing permit, which is available at the local tourist information.
Berlin
If you think of Berlin, you will probably first think of the big city and sights and not of nature and water. However, Berlin is the capital city in Europe with the most water areas, it is perfectly suited for tours by boat and also fishing has its charm. You can also find perch, pike and Co. here. However, fishing in Berlin requires a fishing licence.
France
![[Translate to Englisch:] Hausboot fahren in Frankreich, mit Kuhnle-Tours auf den schönsten Kanälen unterwegs](/fileadmin/user_upload/Schnellupload/Frankreich_Saone.jpg "[Translate to Englisch:] Kanal in Frankreich")
Along the canals in France there are many smaller lakes which invite you to go fishing. You can find all the information you need on the website of the Fédération Nationale de la Pêche or on the regional site.
our fishing tips for the diferent seasons
spring
With the rising temperatures in March/April the pike begin to collect in the shallow water. The larger specimens, however, remain in deep water even longer. Trolling at the shear edges can now bring the big pike to the hook.
Zander and perch are now also to be found in the shallow water zones. On the smaller waters, the carp are slowly getting lively - spring in particular is one of the best fishing seasons.
Summer
The legendary perch hunts on the lakes Müritz and Plauer See are clearly the highlight of the summer. The perch hunt the breeding fish to the surface, where the always hungry seagulls wait for their share. So watch out for shoals of hunting seagulls that will lead you safely to the fish. Especially large perches, however, remain almost the whole year as loners in shallow water, where they feed on crabs. Also at herb fields or in the harbours one has good chances to get a perch to the fishing rod.
Autumn
The perch hunts often continue until late autumn, so keep an eye on the seagulls. As the temperature drops, the fish begin to go deeper. Especially the pike now fall into a real feeding frenzy again. Towing is now very successful.
For the carp anglers the most interesting time of the year begins now. Before the dormancy period in winter the carp are still eating a good supply. So it's time to feed and lie in wait.
Winter
Peace fishing is only worthwhile in the harbours along the big lakes. The biggest pike were and are caught in the coldest season of the year. Depending on the weather, towing from a boat or with a bait fish under the ice - the winter can bring some serious surprises. Zander and perch are now in the deeper parts of the lakes.
