Catching perch on a spinning rod is a fascinating type of fishing; we will discuss it in our article. In it, we will consider in detail the most suitable period for this, the necessary gear and bait, several features of effective postings.
With the onset of spring, perch (usually large individuals) leaves their winter camps, and therefore the search for this fish may cause some difficulties.
When the water gets warmer, the flock of perches sinks deeper and deeper to the bottom. Often the sites of these predators are recorded at a depth of 2 to 3.5 m. Perch prefers a hard bottom, preferably with a shell rock, on the so-called edge.
Choice of gear and lures
Many experienced fishermen have noted that the choice of spinning for catching perch should stop at an ultralight rod with a fairly sensitive tip. The line should be of the finest section. You can also purchase a wicker, which is intended, in fact, for the sensitive and gentle bites of this predator. In addition, the braid allows you to comfortably cast even the lightest tackle. Catching perch on a spinning rod usually does not require long casts of the bait, but there are shores that cannot be approached to the edge, in which case you will have to make long casts.
The choice of the bait itself directly depends on the fishing conditions - it can be either silicone twisters and vibration tails, or light minnows. For example, to search for perch at a depth, it is best to use microjig (a twister several cm long) that has a cargo head of 2-5 g, depending on the depth.
In shallow water, heavily overgrown with vegetation, it would be advisable to use wobblers-mines with a slight deepening, so that it was possible to carry tackle over the grass. This photo provides you with a list of wobblers that are perfect for catching perch in still water and over the course.
Suitable time for fishing
Catching perch in the summer on spinning can be as successful as possible in a quiet early morning, when the fog has not yet had time to dissipate over the water surface. However, the sunrise does not scare this predator at all - it continues to hunt. By lunchtime, the zhor perch subsides and ceases altogether. The active bite of this fish resumes by 5 o’clock in the evening and lasts until dusk. Experienced fishermen claim that fishing perch on a spinning rod in cloudy weather is likely to be futile. However, like any fish, perch can completely refuse the bait you offer, even at a favorable time of day. Do not treat “idle” fishing as a great failure, which means that you are more likely to get lucky next time.
Basic fishing technique
If catching perch on a spinning rod is carried out using a twister, the following rotation of techniques is recommended: throw the tackle and let it reach the bottom, then we make trembling movements with the tip of the rod, as if playing, for several seconds. After which a pause is made, after which we make a small toss of the gear up.
These techniques are repeated 2-3 times, we only change the pauses and the height of the tackle tossing at the end. In addition, the classic stepped wiring may be relevant, in which the fisherman will have to change the number of revolutions after pauses.
Spinning fishing perch includes tricks that can be used to catch pike or pike perch. The main thing is to constantly change something and experiment in the event of a prolonged absence of bites. Good luck!
