Year-round fishing for crucian carp

In the reservoirs of the European part of the CIS the most common fish is carp. And fishing for crucian carp, respectively, is the most popular among fishermen. It likes to catch adults and children, fishermen-professionals and amateur fishermen. Formally, this fish is divided into two types. It is silver (or silver) crucian, which has an elongated shape, and gold (or golden) crucian, which has a more rounded shape. True, it is now difficult to meet the pure representatives of these species. Most often, fishing rods catch their various hybrids.

Under good circumstances, the crucian can reach quite a solid weight of 1.5-2 kilograms. But such specimens are extremely rare and not in every pond. Usually carp, living in shallow ponds and lakes, in addition to which there is little feed, are very inactive and, consequently, grow poorly. They grow to the size of the palm, and this together with the tail and head. But at the same time, fishing for crucian carp in such water bodies is popular with some fishermen, who catch it more from the sporting interest. And in order to catch larger carp, it is necessary to look for reservoirs in which predatory fish are found.

And the crucian is caught almost at any time of the year and day. And to predict its biting is very difficult. It depends on a variety of factors, and in each pond has its own peculiarities of biting. But the windless and warm morning is considered the best time for such fishing. In the afternoon the crucian pecks poorly, and by the evening it again becomes active. And if you take the time of the year, the first weeks after spawning are considered the most favorable for this occupation. Yes, and practically all summer is possible a good fishing for the crucian.

The choice of bait for this fish is also not an easy task. After all, the "culinary predilections" of crucian carp can vary several times a day. But the best bait for it are worms, especially red dung worms. Still good carp bites on bread, as well as on maggots, pearl barley, potatoes, dough and other baits. You can prepare for him and a "sandwich", which consists of several baits. For example, a bread roll with a worm or a worm with a pearl barley. Also fishing for crucian carp will be ineffective without bait. There are a lot of such feeding, and one of them is the soiled crusts of bread mixed with crushed fried sunflower seeds.

This bait should be placed closer to the bottom of the reservoir. And if the bottom is muddy, then it should be positioned so that it only touches the bottom, without sinking into the silt. But there are times when the depth of immersion bait should be adjusted to a centimeter. All this is connected with the inconstancy of the crucian carp. He can peck both from the bottom, and from half the depth, and, like a vagabond, on the surface of the water.

And fishing for crucian carp in winter has its own nuances. It can take place almost throughout the cold period. The carp is caught well from the first ice until January. In February, such fishing is inefficient. But further, from March until the melting of ice, the crucian cares again well. But he bites in the winter is extremely unstable and short-lived. Such fluctuations in carp behavior depend on various causes, such as time of day, atmospheric pressure, weather, movement of the fish pack.

It is believed that lives the crucian on the lunar calendar. But on the last ice the time for catching crucian carp is best chosen by the sun. When the sun is set in the winter and the weather is clear and the atmospheric pressure rises, the crucian begins to peck quite actively. But any fluctuations in atmospheric pressure already have a negative effect on this biting.

Also, winter fishing for crucian carp is good in ponds with muddy or sandy bottom. Even the presence of predatory fish species also positively influences such fishing. Well, in the reservoirs with a peat bottom and peaceful species of fish in winter, it is very difficult to catch crucian carp. And catch in winter, this fish is usually on mormyshku or on a fishing pole with a float. The line for these gears is desirable to take thinner, and the hook is smaller. For example, a fishing line of 0.12 millimeters and a hook with a size of 2.5 maintain a crucian carp weighing one kilogram. And in general experienced fishermen say that the more tender the tackle, the better the biting.
