The check boxes on ice

3

Piercing in the silence hear a loud click, and over the snow-covered plateau rising into the air a bright red box tackles. Bite! Fisherman in a hurry to tackle, a thousand times the thoughts are born and die: “Holds or not? Maybe quit? No, like holding a… Oh, go blow off! Wow, nice! Finished reliably or not?” And now is shown from the hole sinker, and then the hand of the fisherman her mother well enough predator, attracted by the small roach…

The popularity of fishing on imitation fish it is difficult to overestimate. A huge number of sukara daily hastening to the waters hoping to see a flashing box to compete with the trophy, to experience the joy of victory. And how can this fishing to be boring, uninteresting, as they say fishing is trolling? And besides, pike are not so stupid as it seems. The slightest nuance in setting up gear or tactics of fishing and the angler is left without bites, while the neighbor and have time to run to the “srabotal”. A lot of the subtleties accompany girlicious fishing. If the angler wants to succeed, they cannot be ignored. Some of them will try to consider more.

WHERE TO CATCH?

Undoubtedly, the fish should be caught in those places where it is. And when it comes to gorlicach, as an object of fishing in the first place imply a pike. This spotted beauty “lights” flags zherlits and uplifting on a cold winter day. As is well known, the pike is a predator ambush. Therefore, catching it in places that can serve as potential hiding spots for predators. When fishing at depth should pay attention to various changes of the bottom edge, the boundary of the flooded riverbed. Invaluable assistance in the search of such places may have a sounder. With it you can quickly find the extremes of the depths, which are potential locations for the installation of zherlits.

Equally appealing look various thickets — reed, reed, pondweed, Urrutia. It is at their border or in “Windows” and you should install the tackles. Typically, the depth in such places a special role does not play: sometimes put the tackle so that the sinker loose in the socket, but grasp follow one another. It should, however, warn against fishing in such places in gluhozime when the ice will hide a thick cap of snow. At this time the probability of kill formation phenomena, which means that the vegetation are endemic to allocate water in the gas. Of course, the first one leaves such places to fish.

Great places for hunting predator are all sorts of korjazhniki. In some cases, they are crowned with a run-of-river edge (river once grew forest or shrub), making such places more attractive for catching not only pike. Installation zherlits here has a number of features. Chief among them is the fact that in order to avoid tangling tackle in snags should not be given too large stock of the line, the best option is catch depth plus 1.5–2.0 meters.
Good and various wellhead flowing areas of streams and creeks. The water here is constantly mixed and has a far better oxygen regime than the rest of the waters, so fishing in these areas is particularly profitable in gluhozime.

WHEN CATCHING?

The next factor that significantly affect the rise time will be fishing. Analyzing a large number of past fishing trips, I came to the conclusion that regardless of the month during the daylight hours observed three distinct splash of pike activity. The first starts an hour before sunrise and ends at sunrise. It is for this reason the reservoir should be arriving for a couple of hours before dawn and put the tackles in the dark. After the sun rises, the activity of pike fizzles. The next outbreak of biting usually happens around noon. She is short, lasts less than an hour. Often it is necessary to watch in the afternoon, as if by magic, anglers in different parts of the reservoir rushes to the boxes.

Third pike exit — evening. It shshukarev lay great hopes. Magic time “after three in the afternoon” almost always brings one or two bites, even if the activity of the fish was observed. It begins, typically, around 15:00 and lasts until dark. A large number of bites occur at dusk, when the angler starts to collect gear. This is echoes of the evening bite.

Special attention is given for night fishing. As a rule, at night, the predator is much more active and bites more sharply, more aggressive. Besides the pike, a frequent visitor during the night fishing will be perch. Night trophies at all surprised. Sometimes, it seems that all the big pike feed exclusively on waterfront at this time of day. The demonstration was one of last year’s fishing, which lasted two days and one night. For light, most anglers never saw not a single bite. But who decided to stay the night were rewarded with a fabulous catch: only we with the workmate were four “empty”. The result of sleepless pores are four pike weighing 3600, 4600, 4800, 5800 grams. It should be noted that these trophies were not the most major. That same night on the pond caught about 12 Cougar, the largest of which exceeded ten. Night followed day did not bring a single bite.

Night fishing in the winter presents special challenges for the equipment. First, a spacious tent with heating. To sit through 16 hours in 20-degree frost can not everyone. Also need a good flashlight: to see in the dark the pike bite hard. Well, as a matter of course — warm and comfortable winter suit, boots.
Equally important when pike fishing play weather conditions. It is noticed that the best bite of the predator was observed in cloudy weather with temperatures close to zero. Excellent results and shows fishing in the thaw. But extreme cold pike for some reason doesn’t love easily and may stop eating for a few days. With the exception of pike weighing up to a kilogram, which is almost always peck.

THAN TO CATCH?

Anglers who think pike is a very stupid and careless predator, doom themselves to a complete absence of biting. Any hasty element snap can cause a bad bite. Take, for example, anchor. The vast majority of anglers do not bother and put the first load. Meanwhile, this factor is the second reason why the pike throwing the bait after the bite (first prick of the hook). Too heavy, sinking to the bottom, inhibits free wheeling of the line. Fish, sensing something was wrong, throws the bait. For this reason it is recommended to use light weights, no more than five grams of weight. Even when fishing at great depths.

Another important element of the snap — leash. At the dawn of development gerlachei catching many wise and put thick Chinese green leashes. And after all pecked! However, with time came the realization that not everything is so smooth. If at the first ice, when the predator is active, a thick leash is not particularly critical, in gluhozime it can cause a fishing fiasco: careful fish simply refused to bite on the rough tooling. In the course are the finest leashes made of Kevlar, tungsten, and even from the fluorocarbon invisible underwater. Proven that delicate tooling increases the number of bites by at least a third.

But with the thickness of the main fishing line unnecessarily should not be so considerate. The point here in the comfort of fishing. Thin line frays on the ice and can cut fingers during the haul. The best option — 0,3–0 ,35 mm. a thicker line coming off the reel rings and can cause the overlap to the counter during the rush.

In the fishing environment with the onset of winter days debate on the theme “Double or tee?”. My opinion — tee. Most small, sharp and tenacious, with curved inward tips. It is not alarming fish during ingestion of the bait and holds it after the strike. A Threesome is fastened to the leash through the winding ring. And no quick-release buckles! A huge number of retirements is due rasstegnula at the most inopportune moment zipper.
For the material of the check box should select hard synthetic waterproof fabric in orange color, clearly visible on any background. It does not absorb moisture and is always right in the maximized state. And for night fishing should be glued to the box a strip of reflective fabric. Generated gear will reflect the light of a flashlight in the dark, from afar signalling the angler about biting.

Equally important is the construction of the tackles. Today on sale there are a variety of models: pancakes, tripod, classic stand, and the overseas “off”, with the reel. For me personally there is nothing better than a classic high stand, equipped with a coil. The thing is as follows: when fishing in inclement weather (fog, rain, snowfall) similar tackle can be seen from afar and bite clearly visible. The rest of the structure, this guarantee is not given even at 100-meter distance people with poor eyesight can easily miss the bite, the same stand is clearly visible even from a distance of 200-250 meters.

TO CATCH HER?

No less heated debate erupted on the topic “What kind of bait better.” In fairness it should be noted that the best one is the main diet of a predator of the pond. So, brought from a distance smelt would be suspiciously regarded peat pike, who all his life ate the carp. If you talk about a particular fish, it is the most versatile bait fish will roach. This silvery fish like all predators, even in those waters where it has never happened. The second place you can put a perch and carp from the store. Go on elongated fish — Dace, bleak, golawice. But the famous gudgeon, which is considered the best bait, I was clearly disappointed: pike did not eat it. Where it shows best results for pikeperch and burbot.

HOW TO CATCH?

A single of the tactics that brings success to any waters and at any time, does not exist. Different effect and anglers. Some prefer to search for active, configured to feed the predator, and therefore constantly shuffle the tackles. During the daylight hours, following similar tactics, it is possible to drill hundreds of holes — almost like spoon. Others look at it skeptically: run, like, get away from pike. They argue the following arguments. Pike may be of long standing at the bait, but not dare to touch. If the hole had not occurred, this does not mean that there is no pike. Just need to wait for the moment when she deigns to eat the bait. And she wants to eat all day or stand without moving near the bait is another question.

The third type of fishermen, to which I belong, holds a combination of tactics. All the tackles are divided into two parts. Some are set in promising areas — potential pike ambushes. Other remaps are constantly in search of active fish. However, the frequency of permutations is not too high, the wells are changed only once an hour and a half. Usually, before noon, all rises on the places: on the situation in the reservoir angler sees that today, the predator, is it worth to wait or should engage in active search.

In addition, there is another focus that is associated with the feature of pike view. Ichthyologists it is proved that the structure of the magic eye allows the fish to see around the victim, but also on themselves. That is why the bait, lowered to the bottom, invisible to pike, standing above him. Sometimes in the absence of biting as soon as we raise the bait higher, so I start grip. And when fishing at a depth of over four meters sukari experienced and completely advise to install a descent of 1.0–1.5 m above the bottom.

Considerable importance is played by the descent of the bait and when fishing in gluhozime. When the reservoir is decreasing kill the process and after drilling holes in the nose has odor of hydrogen sulfide, lowering the bait in the bottom layer can end for him sadly: even resistant carp will fall asleep after a short time. In such a situation it makes sense to use the gear without sinkers. Put under the ice, the bait itself will find a horizon of water with favorable oxygen regime. It is there to stay and the predator.
