Many anglers do not give up their hobby even in severe frosts, and fishing in November is a real pleasure for them. Depending on the weather conditions, this month can please with open water fishing, as well as give pleasure to fans of ice fishing.
Applied gear
Fishing in November is mainly based on the capture of a predator, all river and lake representatives will peck perfectly. But peaceful fish will not be caught badly, the main thing is to offer it the right bait and not overdo it with bait.
Spinning
Most often on the pond in November you can see fishermen with a spinning rod in their hands, this type of fishing will be the most effective at this time of the year. In order not to be left without a catch and accurately bring out even a large trophy, it is necessary to make the equipment correctly. Its main components are:
- as a basis, a braided cord is used, the diameter of which is selected depending on the test on the form. Since fishing is carried out during this period with large and heavy baits, the base must also be strong. Basically, a braided line of at least 0,14 mm is placed, thinner diameters will not allow you to bring out a large catch. In the case of using fishing line, the choice falls on 0,28-0,32 mm thick.
- Fittings are selected more powerfully, swivels, clasps, clockwork rings for collecting gear are chosen larger, special attention is paid to the indicated breaking loads.
- A high-quality reel with a sufficient number of bearings will also not hurt, with its help everyone can fight out a predator caught on a spinning rod.
- Leashes are no longer made of fluorocarbon; in the autumn, strength is needed, and not stealth in the water. Thin steel is best suited for such purposes, its breaking characteristics are quite high, and a small thickness will not frighten off a predator.
- The spinning itself is used with a test of 7-10 g and more, such conditions are dictated by the baits used, the weight of which often exceeds 20 g. Lights and ultralights should be postponed until spring, in November such forms are not used.
Leashes are mandatory; without them, fishing in November can cost many lures.
float tackle
You can catch in November with a float rod, depending on the bait used, both predators of rivers and lakes, and peaceful representatives of reservoirs will respond perfectly. Tackle is collected stronger than for the summer or the first month of autumn, this will allow you not to miss the big fish. For tackle use:
- fishing line, with a diameter of up to 0 mm in diameter;
- sensitive float, it is advisable to choose options up to 1,5 g;
- hooks are selected for the bait used, but you should not take too large ones even for catching a predator;
- for a leash, a monk is chosen several times thinner than the base, 0,16 mm is perfect.
Catching roach from small rivers with such tackle will not work, for this type of fish it is worth collecting a separate fishing rod with finer components.
feeder and donka
Good results can be achieved by fishing in November on the feeder and bottom, this method can be used to get trophy burbot, which only comes out after a summer holiday and begins to actively eat. Collecting tackle is simple, the main criterion is the fortress:
- fishing line or cord must have a breaking load of more than 12 kg;
- leashes are set with a gap of at least 7 kg, while fluorocarbon is categorically refused;
- the hook is selected depending on the chosen bait, but it makes no sense to put very large ones;
- special attention is paid to fittings, it must hold the catch after hooking.
A feeder rod is used no more than 3 m long; for a donkey, a shorter blank is chosen.
Mugs
Pike, pike perch, perch in November on the Oka and other reservoirs are fished for circles. It is worth equipping them with high-quality fishing line, and using a good quality tee for bait. Live bait is always used as bait, it should be lowered as close to the bottom as possible in order to interest predators. Only steel is suitable as a leash, it can withstand both pike and zander fangs when capturing the proposed delicacy.
Baits
Large baits are used in open water, and this applies not only to spinning ones. For the feeder and donkey, large hooks are used, on which a variety of baits are planted. Best of all during this period, the predator reacts to:
- nerve;
- lumpy fish;
- dead fish;
- pieces of the liver;
- worms;
- creeps;
- bunches of bloodworms;
- pupated maggot.
You can use other insect larvae, if there is where to get them. An excellent option would be shellfish meat from a pond.
Fishing for spinning in November is carried out with large baits, this has already been said. The greatest success is achieved with:
- elongated oscillators;
- large wobblers with sinking indicators;
- silicone with jig heads as well as with movable mounting.
Ice fishing tackle
Starting ice fishing should be done carefully, as soon as the ice is at least 5 cm thick. It is no longer necessary to use long rods in a closed reservoir, but then how to catch? For ice fishing, small fishing rods are used, the maximum length of which does not exceed one and a half meters. For mormyshkas and winter spinners, small balalaikas are most often used, they are equipped with thin fishing lines:
- for a mormyshka, a thickness of 0,08-0,1 mm is sufficient; for heavy ones, a maximum of 0,12 mm is set;
- experienced fishermen take 0,14-0,18 mm for spinners.
The balancer is not used at the very beginning of ice fishing, therefore it is not worth equipping a fishing rod for it yet.
For the donkey, you need a monk 0,20 for the lake, the river will require 0,24 mm.
Trophy pikes and zander are waiting for trophy pikes and pike perch on the first ice in November. At night, you can catch burbot, but not everyone immediately succeeds in determining whether it is on the hook, even experienced anglers often do not suspect that the vent is with a trophy.
The angler’s calendar for November can be the most diverse, a lot depends on the region and the vagaries of the weather. In the middle lane, until the middle of the month, fish are almost always fished in open water, on the Amur, on the Volkhva and on Vuoksa during this period there is already ice. In Anapa in November and in the Kuban River until about mid-December, spinning and other gear are used for fishing from the shore and boats. In the Black Sea, ice fishing is rare, it freezes very rarely.
Who to catch in November
Depending on the type of fishing and trophies vary, the bite in November is excellent for both peaceful fish and predators. But each inhabitant of the selected reservoir will require a special approach, in order to catch the fisherman will have to “appease” each fish in different ways.
Pike fishing in November
In the last autumn month, the toothy inhabitant of rivers and lakes continues to eat, which is why she will throw herself without fear at many baits offered to her. You can catch a decent option in several ways:
- casting from the shore or boat in open water;
- trolling;
- circles;
- float gear.
For spinning, large-sized and sufficient weight shakers are used, the color is chosen depending on weather conditions:
- silver will work perfectly in cloudy weather with light rain;
- copper and gold are used in sunny weather.
If the choice of a spinning player fell on wobblers or silicone, then natural colors work great in November, a dot on the body or an orange belly of an artificial fish can act as an irritant.
Float tackle will also help in catching a predator, a live bait is baited on a hook, it is a small fish from a reservoir that can attract the attention of a pike even on the floor.
When freezing, the pike is fished on a balancer, and it is advisable to additionally equip it with a tee with a colored eye. The colors are chosen acidic, recently lures of a “smoked” color without bright elements on the body have been working well.
Winter zherlitsa is considered a classic tackle for pike on ice. The bait in this case will be live bait, there can be no other options.
Perch fishing in November
The minke whale is very common in water bodies, trophy specimens are often fished in Samara, in the Perm Territory, the Voronezh Region, and there is even such fishing in the Gulf of Finland. It is best to catch in open water in November for spinning, the perch is excellent for twisters, small wobblers, medium-sized spoons.
During freezing, you will have to catch mainly on spinners, it is worthwhile to understand that during this period the perch has already strayed into flocks and you can drag a sufficient amount of fish from one hole.
Going to catch perch, its daily lifestyle is taken into account, the “minke whale” will actively peck from early morning until dusk.
What to catch walleye
Throughout November, pike perch on the river continues to move actively and practically does not sit in ambush waiting for prey. From here follows the peculiarity of his capture, the pike perch will always react to a fast moving bait, motionless or inactive options are not interesting for him. In open water, pike perch will prefer silicone, worms, acid translucent twisters. The jig is chosen harder, the pike perch has already sunk to the bottom and it is worth looking for it there.
On the ice, the fanged one is lured by balancers. It is possible to catch on the donkey, while night time will be more successful.
When choosing a winter rod for zander, you should give preference to options with stiffer whips.
Fish for burbot
They look for a freshwater representative of cod just after the water has cooled, during this period he leaves his shelter in search of food. For small fish, he prefers to hunt in clean areas of reservoirs without silt and vegetation.
In open water, burbot do not lose hope of catching a donk, freezing forces fishermen to change gear, vents will be the most effective, and they are used at night.
I’m going for grayling
In the northern regions, with the onset of cold weather, grayling is actively caught; this type of whitefish will perfectly respond to artificial flies and spoons abandoned by the spinner. As soon as the reservoirs are frozen, a small mormyshka will be able to attract the attention of this fish.
Carp in November
Open water and relatively warm weather will make it possible to catch crucian carp in most of the water bodies of our country. Animal options are used as bait, it is best to offer crucian carp:
- worm;
- maidservant;
- bunch of moths.
You can catch on the floor and on the feeder, for the latter, additional bait is used. Here it is important to use a small amount of it, but too little will not be able to attract the attention of crucians.
Fishing for bream
Experienced fishermen know that bream can be caught all year round; they are caught both in open water bodies and during the freezing period. A feature of fishing in cold water will be the use of only animal baits, and as a bait they use mastyrka from boiled peas and other ingredients.
In early November, while the reservoirs have not yet been ice-bound, it is preferable to catch bream on a feeder, but from the ice, fishing is carried out on hooks with a bloodworm or worm.
Roach
In November, roaches are searched for in quiet backwaters of rivers, where there is practically no current.
In the lake, the roach will stay closer to the reeds, but it is unlikely to go into the thickets.
You can catch it with a float tackle with a maggot or a worm on a hook, the feeder equipment will allow you to get larger specimens, the bait remains the same.
You can also get roach from the ice with a mormyshka-remote, an excellent option would be:
- howler;
- a drop;
- a particle;
- larva.
At what it is worth choosing either dark or copper options.
Fishing in November is still active, fishermen catch both predator and peaceful fish without any problems. In order to be sure of the catch, it is worth initially deciding on what type of ichthyofauna the hunt is to be and collect the tackle that is appropriate in strength. Further, it all depends on the angler, his skills and dexterity.
