Catching grass carp on a float rod: baits, choosing a place for fishing

If you use an ordinary float fishing rod for grass carp, then fishing can be more effective than using other gear, for example, bottom ones. Oddly enough, but white carp prefers to be caught on a float.

But anglers are stubborn people and try to use bottom rods more, as this type of fishing has its advantages. This way of catching fish does not require constant control of gear, cast and wait for a bite. The most important thing is that you do not need to hold anything in your hands.

Some anglers pay tribute to conservatism and continue to fish in the classic way, using a float rod. They are interested in holding a fishing rod in their hands and constantly monitoring the float. The same applies to grass carp, which is caught with an ordinary float fishing rod no less effectively than with other gear. The most important thing is to decide on a catchy place. To do this, you need to know the behavior of this fish. Since grass carp can be located anywhere in the water area of ​​the reservoir, you need to learn how to determine the location of grass carp. It is also very important to know what to catch him and when.

Choosing a place for catching grass carp on a float tackle

Arriving at a reservoir where grass carp is found, you should find a suitable place for fishing. If you do not do this and start catching fish at random, then fishing will be a waste of time. No experienced angler will begin to fish if he does not decide on a catchy place.

But first you need to know that the activity of grass carp, as well as its migration through the reservoir, is very dependent on weather conditions. Temperature fluctuations affect the heating of water in a reservoir. The slightest drop in temperature makes this fish go deeper. If the temperature rises, then it can be found in shallow water.

Any angler who arrives at the reservoir tries to take his favorite place where he recently caught grass carp. But it may happen that this time there will be no bite. Therefore, you will have to analyze the weather conditions and it is quite possible that you will have to leave your “familiar” place in search of grass carp. If the water temperature has risen, then it is better to look for it in small areas of the reservoir, and if the water has become colder, then you should look for holes or other depressions.

According to experienced anglers, the difference in depths of about 50 cm seriously affects the bite of grass carp. If the weather is stable and the water temperature is at the same level, then you should look for grass carp:

• on the border of clear water and thickets of reeds;
• on the edges, as well as places of sharp changes in depth;
• in windows of clear water, surrounded by aquatic vegetation;
• in areas where bushes are flooded;
• in bays where there are thickets of aquatic vegetation and reeds.

At the same time, it should be remembered that the right choice of location is not a guarantee of a good catch. Experienced anglers know that without bait on the pond there is nothing to do. The fact is that grass carp is in constant motion to feed itself. For the effectiveness of fishing, grass carp must be lured to one fishing point and kept there as long as possible. As a rule, bait is not spared, and the more it is, the better.

The presence of bait will allow you to collect at one point several individuals who are interested in the object of food. If this fish finds such a place, then until it eats everything that lies there, it will not calm down and leave here. She will want to “vacuum” everything that lies at the bottom. Therefore, the amount of bait plays a serious role in terms of performance. Moreover, the bait will have to be constantly added so that the grass carp cannot go far.

Therefore, the most promising place is the place where there is bait at the point of fishing. If the baited place does not give bites, then you need to move to a deeper or shallower section of the reservoir.

Bait for catching grass carp

Since grass carp is considered a kind of fish in terms of nutrition, non-traditional baits should be used for catching it, in the form of cucumber, cabbage, filamentous algae, reeds, etc. Some fishermen add diced cucumber to the bait. White carp is perfectly caught on reeds, or rather on its young shoots. Despite this, the fish are accustomed to non-traditional types of bait, such as a worm. Moreover, small individuals peck well at the worm, and for larger specimens, such nozzles should be used:

• a bunch of dung worms;
• crumb of white or black bread;
• peas;
• corn;
• sandwiches from animal and vegetable baits;
• foam balls;
• semolina;
• tall;
• cabbage;
• seaweed;
• shoots of young reeds.

Naturally, without bait it is hardly possible to catch grass carp. And if other fish, such as crucian carp, are also found in the reservoir, then when using a classic bait, such as a worm or semolina, there will be more crucian carp in the catch. This is also due to the fact that grass carp is a cautious fish and is unlikely to take the bait at the slightest suspicion of danger.

If you use non-standard baits, such as cabbage, cucumber or young shoots of reeds, then only grass carp will be able to try such a delicacy. To find out his preferences, you can install several rods with different baits that can attract grass carp. In this case, you can count on the capture of only grass carp, as it feeds on such baits. But this does not mean at all that such luck will await the angler in any reservoir where this fish is found.
