Fishing for sabrefish is carried out in different ways, both a beginner and an experienced angler will be able to fish it out without problems, but not always. To do this, it is worth studying in more detail the habits and whims of this river representative of cyprinids.
Promising places
It is excellent to catch sabrefish on rivers, the fish does not tolerate stagnant water very well. Her habitats are always the same, but there are periods of life when she does not stand on her usual points.
Time and weather
Chekhon, like other representatives of the ichthyofauna of the middle zone, is meteorologically dependent. It is better to go in search of her in open water; in winter, she bites reluctantly. He reluctantly leaves his familiar places, this happens extremely rarely, with the exception of the spawning period.
The best characteristics for successful fishing for sabrefish in the summer are:
- early morning and dusk;
- places remote from the coastline;
- intense heat causes food to hiccup at the surface of the water.
In cool water, the fish behave in much the same way, but they are more careful.
Universal places for fishing, regardless of the season, temperature and other indicators, are:
- deep pits, rifts, flooded snags;
- elevations and borders between a fast current and a slower one;
- depths with a swift current;
- large bays without vegetation;
- the bottom of sandy islands, slopes, channel edges;
- boundaries of the main flow and return;
- protruding capes and backwaters;
- areas with significant depths and not very fast current.
Features of seasonal fishing
Catching sabrefish will not be bad throughout the open water season, but there are some subtleties and secrets of catching for every season, including when fishing from ice.
Winter
In winter, the biting of the sabrefish is weak, but if you manage to find a place for a flock of parking, then you can drag a decent amount on a mormyshka with a bloodworm. For productive fishing, you should not stand still, the flock moves all the time, the angler must do the same.
It is not worth looking for promising places on the shallows; sabrefish prefer depths at any time of the year.
Spring
The best time to fish for sabrefish, according to experienced anglers. Especially successful will be the capture during the spawning run, it falls in mid-May. During this period, it is easiest to catch, the fish actively reacts to almost any proposed bait and is practically not cautious at all.
It should be understood that the sabre case goes against the current, therefore, it is necessary to display it when serifing it accordingly.
Summer
Unlike other representatives of the ichthyofauna, sabrefish remain quite active even in the heat of summer. Immediately after spawning, she rolls down to her usual habitats with decent depths, where she lives and eats in the usual way. With a strong increase in the temperature regime of water and air, it often rises to the upper layers of the water and collects insects there. Using these features, fishing is carried out.
Autumn
In the autumn period, this representative of cyprinids is practically no different from other fish, the autumn zhor begins in sichel. The fish takes on almost all the proposed baits, but artificial twisters and worms will work best.
Given all these subtleties, no one will be left without a catch, regardless of the season.
Tooling
There are several ways to catch sabrefish, each of which requires the right equipment. When collecting tackle, it is worth knowing and be sure to take into account many features.
Rod
For fishing use light and strong versions of the blanks. Depending on the chosen capture method, they will differ in some parameters:
- for fishing with float gear from the shore, options from 6 m long are chosen, fishing from a boat will shorten the blank to 4 m;
- spinning rods are chosen from a series of light and ultralight, while the length varies from 2,1 m to 2,55 m depending on the parameters of the reservoir, for fishing with a bombard, test figures start from 45 g;
- the feeder is more suitable for the plug version, for fishing in places with a strong current, test values from 100 g, and a length of 3,3 m or more.
It is better to give preference to carbon options, but the composite will not be inferior either.
Coil
Heavy reels with high traction performance will not be needed for catching sabrefish, the fish is relatively small and does not show strong resistance. However, the stock of the base should always be, therefore, for each of the forms, use their own products:
- spinning tackle is assembled on a reel with a spool in 2000-2500;
- for feeder forms, choose options of 3000-4000 sizes;
- both inertial and inertial options are put on the float gear.
Important criteria are the reliability of the variant used and sufficient capacity.
Fishing line
As a basis, it is better to give preference to monofilament fishing line with a small percentage of stretch. There will also be a division depending on the type of capture chosen:
- the float is enough thickness of 0,18-0,22 mm, depending on the season, for long-distance casting, some put 0,25 mm;
- spinning blanks are equipped with a 0,24-0,28 mm monk or a cord up to 0,14 mm;
- for the feeder, a fishing line from 0,30 mm and a cord from 0,16 mm in cross section are used.
In the spring, the tackle is collected thinner and lighter, in the fall it is possible to use stronger and coarser components.
Lure
Not every tackle involves the use of bait, it is needed only in cases of fishing on a feeder and sometimes on a float tackle. at the same time, not every option is suitable, the universal one will not become an assistant either.
The sabrefish prefers small insects and crustaceans, so the bait must necessarily contain components of animal origin. An excellent option would be a small bloodworm with a small amount of porridge for clogging feeders or sculpting balls. Of the purchased options, those who know recommend using a geyser.
Bait and tackle
Catchable baits for catching sabrefish can be divided into two types, each of which is used for different methods of fishing.
Natural
This includes almost any insects and larvae. The fish will respond well to:
- maidservant;
- worm;
- dragonfly;
- grasshopper
- bloodworms;
- butterfly;
- moth;
- brook
They are used when fishing with float tackle, on a feeder, with a tackle with a bombard in early spring.
Artificial
To catch this species, you need a spinning blank, as baits they take:
- twisters;
- arrange;
- worms;
- dragonfly larva.
Small spinners, turntables and spoons showed themselves well, their weight should not exceed 5 g.
With the right wiring and a well-chosen place, the success of fishing in the fall is guaranteed.
Technique of fishing
Depending on the gear you choose, the process itself will vary. Next, we will consider in more detail all the most popular methods.
Spinning
Having selected all the components, they assemble the tackle, the leash on which must be mandatory. Its length is 50 cm or more at any time of the year without exception.
For a successful capture, it is better to use stepped wiring, it is she who will bring the most bites.
Feeder
The collected tackle is thrown into a promising place, while feeding should be carried out regularly. A leash is required, its length is up to 2 m, thanks to this, potential prey will not be afraid of the feeder. Porridge is applied crumbly, not dense. A maggot, bloodworm is put on a hook. Often a foam ball is planted.
Casting is carried out at intervals of every 15 minutes at the beginning of fishing and every 30 minutes thereafter. The notch when biting is carried out sharply and immediately begin to display the trophy.
Float
It is better to catch such a tackle in the morning; they use a worm, maggot, bloodworm as bait. Simply casting the baited line will not be enough, experienced anglers recommend playing with the bait a little before it drops to the right spot.
far casting
Forms 8-12 m long are used, ordinary tackle is collected, but sliding-type floats are used with a load of 12 g or more, depending on the reservoir.
The baits and fishing technique are identical, the serif is carried out sharply and the caught specimen is immediately displayed.
Bombard
This method of fishing is usually used in early spring, it features a heavy sinking bobber that allows you to cast light lures for decent distances.
Catching is carried out according to a similar algorithm with spinning, after casting the tackle with a bait, usually artificial, you need to play a game, pull it, and then conduct a smooth wiring that maximally imitates the natural movements of a beetle or insect chosen as a bait.
Elastic
This method of fishing is familiar to more experienced fishermen, it is used both in current and still water. The tackle consists of:
- reel;
- a piece of fishing line 20-50 m, with a thickness of 0,45 mm;
- leashes with hooks, they can be from 2 to 6 pieces;
- rubber shock absorber;
- sinker.
As bait, fry, small grasshoppers, bloodworms, and maggots are used. in this case, it is better to keep the bait on the surface of the water or in its upper layers.
Immediately after casting, it is worth pulling the tackle a little, due to the heavy load and the shock absorber, it will not be possible to pull it out, but this will give the game to the baits. Then they wait for bites, carry out a notch and take out the catch without pulling the tackle out of the reservoir completely.
Perenazhivayut and again sent to the reservoir.
Fighting rules
You also need to be able to remove sabrefish after serif, the fish is quite brisk and can jump off the hook.
Playing from the shore
Fishing from the shoreline has its own characteristics, the removal of the catch can be a problem for a beginner. It is important to exhaust the slack in the base as quickly as possible and periodically pull the trophy to the shore. It’s not worth it to stain the sabrefish, she will find the strength to resist in an hour or two.
Playing on the current
Removing the catch on the rivers, as a rule, goes against the current, this should be taken into account by novice anglers. Efforts will have to be made more, and you need to work with the reel skillfully and confidently, without giving any slack in the line.
Fishing for sabrefish is not always successful, even for experienced fishermen. Therefore, personal experience and only he will tell you what and why to do when caught by different methods and ways.
