The middle of winter

1

After a series of frosts, the ice became thick. The state of the water — it’s the middle of winter. Accordingly, the fish behaves like every winter at this time. Namely: not very willing to throw at proposed to her bait.

The middle of winter is always a period when on the ice remain really enthusiastic anglers that are not so important the size of the fish, as the desire to deceive the fish. This is a time for experimentation and for deeper and more meaningful development of a tackle. Novice anglers now, in my opinion, it makes sense to practice catching perch on a jig with bait on the hook. Since the oxygen regime is now the most favorable on the rivers, but the current catch is much more complicated, it is best to look into large lakes and reservoirs and not to waste time on the ponds.

Search for a fish in a big pond is always difficult. A lot of movement, a lot of holes, limited time led him quickly to correct the flaws in tackle and fishing technique. It helps that in numerous flocks perch are almost always found active fish and a specific result appears in the form of a catch.

In addition to the General difficulties associated with the effort that is complicated by the fact that, in General, the predicted behavior of fish behaves from year to year with deviations from “accepted” for her “rules”. Increasingly, there are years when an active bass can’t find neither on the first nor on the second and subsequent ice.

In large lakes and reservoirs behavior perch now largely depends on the water level and the presence of currents. Where the water is discharged, but stays at the same level, the behavior of habitual perch, winter. That is, the coastal edge, the shallows were small perch, which is properly caught, the best bait in the form of bloodworms. Big perch out on the flats, especially on the hill and among shallow depths, or at daybreak, or in a completely unpredictable hours, depending on weather and lighting conditions.

Most likely to find active perch in the shallows on a Sunny day. To fish is to jig the bait, as the depth may be only twenty centimeters. As a rule, fish are responding well to the bait in the form of bloodworms, thrown in the hole. You need to keep in mind that after feeding perch instantly rises to the ice and grabs the jig “in the hole”. In this fishing special attention should be paid to the darkening of the hole. That is to clean the hole from chips of ice not worth it. As a rule, there is no reason to further darken the hole with snow, although in a darkened hole biting often continues longer, and the perch here gets larger. If you begin to come across larger predators, it makes sense to change the big crank to small or to opt out of the nozzle. You will need a clear, quick game with a high oscillation frequency. If after three or four transactions bite not, then I plant small bloodworms and repeat the cycle. Periodically it is necessary to sink the lure to the bottom, as the group perch is usually divided into two parts. One of the most active, rises to the ice and catches the falling bloodworms, and the other collects fallen to the bottom of the larvae. After a while the fish will not respond to quick movement of the lure, occasionally pecking or just “liars”. This can occur very quickly, i.e. just ten minutes after the first bite. This means that the perch is “ingrained” in the bait and methodically collects from the bottom of the larvae. Comes the most delicate tackle. This jig minimal size on a thin line. For example, to a depth of five meters effective tungsten mormyshka with a diameter 1-1,5 mm on the fishing line 0.07 mm.

The playing technique is the perturbation of bloodworm on the hook mormyshkas in the bottom layer of water, with taps along the bottom, rises by swaying a few inches and smooth slow lowering to the bottom. In this case, the jig becomes a means of delivering bait at the bait spot.

If near the shore is not the place with the active fish, then you need to shift on a deep edge, that is 5-6 meters, or even at the upper channel edge. Apparently, the fish waits between attacks in the shallows. On a deep edge perch is not especially active, and catch him without bait is problematic. Fishing is complicated by the fact that to predict the specific location of outlet perch difficult.

The most effective this tactic. Is the edge, along it a few meters are drilled about a dozen holes. Into each hole is lowered a little bloodworms and starts the bypass holes. As bait is used by most small jig with one to three larvae of a large moth. The biting often happens during the separation of the bait from the bottom, and on the first or second transaction.

If the bass is deep watering, it makes sense to change the lure or jig on the balancer. Here, the main thing is to see the first bite. From first bite and have to “dance”, capturing not only the game selection and bait, but fishing the horizon. If bite successful, but rare, that is, one with ten holes, then most likely, this means that the bass here is not concentrated or inactive, you should consider whether to continue the search. If time and effort is gone, you should feed the hole with a pause and return to the jig with a crank.
In reservoirs where the water level is still high for this time, as, for example, on the Volga reservoirs, behavior perch now still closer to “paralelnom”. That is, the fish concentrated in relatively small areas, in large flocks, and occasionally makes raids on the fry in the coastal zone. If there is a sprat, a perch can be found over the pits, at the edge of the current and high from the bottom.

If you’re lucky with the weather, the bite can be very active. Working depth is usually from half a meter to three meters. When the weather is not favorable, the fish hides, but the coastal zone level and not leave. And in this case it is optimal to use bait and a jig. It should be borne in mind that the lured the wells are depleted in about an hour, so after stopping to fish in one of the holes you need to drill and attract a following. Return to the “old” holes usually leads to catching more fish and complete cessation of biting. But it should be noted that these latter groupers may become the largest.

To the General laws, I would mention the fact that, firstly, the activity of perch changes during the day, sometimes dramatically. So catch it quickly. This applies not only to the lowering speed of the lure and reeling in a fish, much to the rapid transition from well to well and to prepare new ones. The most common mistake less experienced anglers is unjustified zavivanie in one place. In contrast to the bream, perch and roach react to the bait faster, but lose interest in it before. Therefore, if two or three approaches to the hole bring the bite, with her need to say goodbye.

Secondly, periodically, the fish rises in Pology. Catch becomes more difficult because one has to work actively. To bait the perch with no reaction and to the bottom does not fall. Thirdly, it has become an important tactical plan of fishing and its implementation.

I when I am not sure the initial choice of location, always start with the rocks. By biting a small perch, by his activity and reaction to the bait can accurately evaluate the activity and larger fish. If even a small thing almost touches the bait, then most likely, perch stood in Pology somewhere above the brow. However, large perch around and hunt for the inactive thing. If small perch active, you should first look large at depths up to five meters, and then explore the underwater navels.
The hunt for perch always labour, and this can be assessed by refusing bloodworms on the hook and the bait. Still much more fun to catch bass than bream, while in the passive waiting for the bite, and moving in search of larger fish. For such a search is baitless bait, talk about next.
