Harvesting in the winter

"Hybrid" or silver crucian today is one of the most common fish that inhabit small rivers and canals.

Harvesting the crucian in the winter is a fairly common thing. Although you need to know that catching the crucian carp in winter is not always as good as catching carp in the summer. Those ponds where other fish are not found do not attract the angler, and vice versa, if there was caught other fish too - there will be an excellent bite.

Carp fishing in winter, basically comes down to finding the right place for fishing. Carp in winter hibernates in deep pits, and if you find such a pit, then we can assume that the winter catch of carp was a success.

Harvesting the crucian in winter does not involve any special gear, it is quite enough of a usual winter fishing rod - a nod and a thin line. Mormyshka can be used dark, shaped like a ball or a drop.

Carp is a fairly cautious fish, and if there is a sudden rise in the turbidity of the food, he may get scared and stop pecking. Therefore, fishermen prefer not to create noise or fuss on the ice, and lower the lure very carefully.

There are such reservoirs in which catching carp in winter begins nearer to spring, and on others - from the beginning of freeze-up. Therefore, fishermen prefer such ponds, which they know not by hearsay: they know the relief of the bottom, large pits, vegetation, etc.

Winter fishing of crucian carp at the reservoir is very different from catching a pond. Carp on a pond is much easier to find. And if someone ran into a bite, then he can go back there all winter.

On the ice you need to boil immediately a few holes, because from one hole to get on the bite is almost impossible.

Fishing is connected with seasonality in the same way as catching other fish. Carp is best caught immediately after freezing or with the last ice, closer to winter, when it can be caught in the most unexpected place for fishing, sometimes even in absolute darkness.

Catching the crucian in winter depends not only on the nozzle or time of day, but also on the weather.

Usually it is caught on a float fishing rod, and if the fishing tackle is collected "wisely", the angler will feel not only the bite, but also all other contacts of the crucian and bait.

Fingertip is also enough catch, however, with active jumping of mormyshka, crucian can be greatly frightened.

In autumn, spring and summer, catching this species of fish already has several other features, knowing that you can achieve considerable success in fishing.

Carp begins to intensify after even the slightest warming. In the spring, the best catch of crucian carp. Having gathered after a hungry winter of forces for spawning, the crucian bites actively and confidently. At this time of year the best nozzles for catching are the bloodworm and worms.

And by June, when the crucian already has enough fodder, which he no longer is looking for intensely, his behavior also changes. Carp becomes capricious, though larger.

Carp, like other cyprinids, does not have a stomach, and since it needs periodic feeding, it bites more often.

In the summer, crucian bites more often at night than during the day, especially on a full moon. At significant temperature fluctuations, the biting becomes worse.

It is also important for good biting to use and correct nozzles - these are nozzles that are of vegetable origin: black bread, dough, porridge. Sometimes anglers add various odoriferous substances to the nozzle, which must attract the crucian carp. Sometimes they use pre-oxidized curds for this purpose.

Possessing a good nose, the crucian quickly swims to the appetizing nozzle. Although in fish ponds where some fishermen feed fish with the remains of their food, the fish react poorly to such attachments. In such places, biting occurs better with sponge, crayfish, a dung worm, dragonfly larvae.

Carp - not such an intractable fish, you just need to be able to find it and apply the correct attachments and tackles.
