Fishing in March, judging by the reviews, can give a huge number of pleasant moments. After all, it happens on the last ice. This is the best time when perch fishing is most effective. It is believed that in March, even trophy specimens can be caught from ice. Wintertime fishers this season more like spinning. Many also prefer balancer, mormyshka and other lures.
From ice
At the beginning of spring, when many ponds are still closed, on the shallows you can observe thawed patches slowly destroyed by sunlight. At this time, a process of very active oxygen saturation begins in reservoirs. As a result, fry of a wide variety of fish species, together with plankton, are slowly moving to shallow water. It is in these places that the best fishing for perch in March takes place. After all, water, in which there is enough oxygen, becomes the cause of the gradual activation of the life of this predatory inhabitant of the reservoir.
The most effective perch fishing in March takes place almost under the ice itself, where it rushes in search of fry. At this time, his bites are more energetic, as the predator grabs the bait literally right away.
Fishing rod selection
Many winter-fishing fishers like fishing perch in March and April for float tackle. As a rule, it is a well-known “filly”. Usually on a fishing rod there are both one and two reel. Some experienced hunters use float options to fish large specimens on the fry.
Catching perch in March on such a bait as mormyshka suggests the presence of a conventional fishing rod with a neoprene or cork handle, equipped with an open reel. A characteristic feature of fishing gear with a nod is the absence of a tulip at the end of the whip.
Fans of sheer whitening will use a convenient fishing rod designed specifically for this type of fishing: with it you can quickly reel or reel the fishing line onto the spool.
Optimal depth
Fishing for perch in March implies the presence of no more than two meters. If fishing takes place in a pond that is still chained with ice, then it is better to drill holes with a ladder. Experienced winter roads say that it’s much easier to find a pack of this predator. The largest individuals, as a rule, hold deeper sections. It is believed that for trophy specimens it is best to catch perch in March.
Spring perch fishing - features
It is on March fishing that you can fish out with a weight of more than one kilogram. It is best to start fishing off the coast by drilling holes at a distance of no more than ten or twenty meters. At the same time, in the case of a significant depth of the chosen place, the fisherman should approach the shore even closer. Not bad if you can fish in the flooded shrubs. It is in such places that a predatory perch ambushes. Trophy specimens most often peck on rocky sections of the bottom of a reservoir. The main sign indicating that predators are present in this part of the reservoir is a flock of fry.
If we talk about places of perch clusters, then on warm spring days he likes to gather mainly on sandy or pebble banks, where the depth varies from one and a half to three meters. It is here that this predator actively eats.
In places where rivers and streams flow into lakes, perch fishing in March from the ice, as a rule, goes well from wintering pits directly on the estuarine shallows. Sometimes fish, climbing directly into the tributaries themselves, actively hunt on the border of pure water and ice.
Lures
After the prey is discovered, the fisherman can already proceed to the selection of nozzles. In March, catching perch is most effective when using fry or small spinners. If the reserves of nozzles prepared since the fall - worms, burdock or moth - have run out and the bloodworm is still inaccessible, then you can use a variety of other improvised baits.
For example, judging by the reviews, it’s nice to fish for fins or perch eyes, pieces of raw fish meat, and even small fragments of white ordinary foam rubber. The latter should be saturated with eggs or even with the blood of the fish itself. Raw egg white, as well as perch gills, provide good results. It is better to use pieces no larger than three millimeters. It is better to store such bait in an ordinary plastic container filled with water.
Not bad, even if they are slightly frozen. And even if over time these pieces of gills lose their color and look appetizing for the fish, it does not matter: this does not affect the bite of the perch.
On the balancer and mormyshka
This is the best perch fishing in March. When fishing during this period, sheer spinners can also be used. But both of these methods always require great skill from the winters. Fishing with sheer sparkling is quite similar to fishing with mormyshka. The ideal gear size is from three to five centimeters, and a small tee is great as a hook. Some experts say that in order to better attract production, it is advisable to slightly decorate it.
Since this carnivorous fish becomes much more active in early spring, catching perch in mormyshka in March implies an increase in the number of vibrations up to four times every second. At the same time, it is desirable to produce the wiring a little faster. Fishing line for tackle is selected more tightly. The hook tip is best hidden completely. This increases the likelihood of fishing trophy perch. Bites in this case will take place much more often.
Fishing technique
In early spring, it is important not to miss the time of the pre-spawning zhora perch, which begins just in mid-March. At this time, the fish, leaving the wintering pits, approaches the shore to begin an ardent hunt for fry. If a fisherman decides to hook a bait fish, he should remember: the fish that the perch always hunts in a given reservoir works best.
In this case, the following fishing technique must be followed: a heavy mormyshka is thrown at the mouth of streams into clean water. As soon as the float is fitted with the current to the edge of the ice, the bait smoothly pulls itself. This method on warm spring days is well suited not only for catching perch, but also for other fish.
Fishing perch in the spring often turns out to be a failure even for professional anglers. This is due to the variability of the weather. Therefore, fishing should go either at dawn, or at dusk, when the most favorable conditions for biting.
