Very often you can find a situation where some fishermen catch fish, while others do not, and they are not able to change the situation in the opposite direction. Simple tips can help you avoid a number of mistakes that affect the entire fishing process. What is this advice?
Are the fish feeding today?
Understanding how active the fish is at the moment is quite simple. You just need to go to the fisherman and find out if the fish are biting today. Fishermen are happy to share various information with other fishermen, including on the activity of biting. If this is not possible, then you need to pay attention to:
- The presence of fishermen near the reservoir. If there are none or very few, then there is either no bite at all, or it is not very significant. At the time of spawning, the fish stops eating, so you should not count on biting. If there is a spawning period on the calendar, then it is better to stay at home and wait until the fish spawn.
- If the weather has deteriorated outside and it is raining, and the wind is raging, then it is better not to go fishing.
The use of various nozzles and baits
The fish can be wormed (especially when warm or hot), so you need to resort to another option and try plant bait on the hook. From baits of animal origin, you can bait:
- Worm.
- Maggot.
- Motyl.
- Fly pupae.
- Various insects.
- When catching predatory fish, you can plant live bait.
As herbal baits you can use:
- Grains of various crops, such as wheat, peas, corn, barley, etc.
- Dough (mamalyga, etc.).
In summer, the fish eats more plant foods, and in spring and autumn – animals. But these rules can be violated by the fish itself, and you need to try to bait both baits.
Fishing place
If there is no bite, then such a technique as changing the place of fishing can help, especially if something is caught by other fishermen. This may be due to the type of bottom topography: after all, fish can be either at a depth or in a shallow, depending on weather conditions.
Lure diving depth adjustment
The depth is chosen depending on the type of fish that is supposed to be caught. Many fish are bottom-dwelling, which means that the bait should be closer to the surface, but these are usually small fish species and fishermen do not hunt them much. There are times when bottom fish come out to the shallows to bask.
Groundbait use
For fishing to be successful, the fish must be fed or baited to the place of fishing. You can bait the fish if you feed it every day, for several days before fishing. The effect is more pronounced in stagnant water, but in the current the effect is reduced, since the bait is carried by the current over a large area. But this does not mean that the fish will not come to the place of fishing. In this case, you should not get carried away and throw a lot of food into the water. If the fish is overfed, then it will cease to be interested in various nozzles.
Suitable bait mixes can be recommended, such as:
- Denim;
- Dunaev;
- vde;
- Pelican;
- sensas.
Adding bait elements to the bait
Fish are more effectively lured if the bait is introduced into the bait, which are mounted on the hook. After adding the mixture must be thoroughly mixed.
It can be:
- Chopped worms.
- Bloodworm.
- White or red maggot.
- Grains of corn or peas.
- Pearl groats.
This approach gives good results in the spring, when the water begins to gradually cool and the fish begin to feed more efficiently, giving preference to baits that include animal components.
Learn from fishermen
If fishermen were found upon arrival at the reservoir, then it is better, without wasting time, to come up and ask what the fish is interested in today. There will be no problems if the reservoir is familiar, and if the reservoir is not familiar, then you will have to lose some time to find a promising place, and then feed the fish and, finally, catch something. If the anglers do not make contact, then you can stand near them for a while and see what bait they are fishing for. An experienced fisherman will immediately understand everything, but a beginner will suffer a little more in search of the best option.
To summarize
Upon arrival at the reservoir, you can immediately determine whether there will be a catch today. In the presence of a bite, especially an active one, the shore will be simply “strewn” with fishermen and all that remains is to squeeze between them, which is not so easy. But the absence of them on the shore suggests that fishing can be very difficult and success will depend only on the personal skills and personal experience of the angler. If you make the right approach and prepare well for fishing, then you can always catch fish. The main thing is to hook on the hook that nozzle, which it will be difficult for her to refuse. Going fishing, you need to calculate all the options and stock up on all the accessories, as well as bait and various baits.
