This adult fish has a flat shape, sexually mature individuals are rounded, the fins are dark. There are bream in deep holes, in shallow water they go out to feed closer to the night hours. They also love pools and backwaters. It lives and moves in small flocks, and individuals of different ages live together. In rivers, it searches for places without a strong current, on clay steep banks. Knowing where the bream lives , how to catch it, it is already easier to solve.
When to catch
It is believed that the best time for fishing is spring and autumn. In winter, the bream hibernates, and in the summer it is simply lazy to peck. Nibble usually begins in April, when the fish wakes up, and the time comes that the fishermen call "zhor". It continues until spawning. On warm days, greens become the main food of omnivorous fish, which is the bream. Even experienced fishermen definitely will not tell how to catch it at this time. But by the end of summer, he again begins to actively peck (somewhere in August). And the period of autumn fishing falls on September – October, when this fish tries to eat plenty before leaving for winter sleep. However, a small bream and scavenger continue to take bait throughout the year. During the day, large specimens are practically not caught, they prefer to leave the pits in which they hide at night. Therefore, biting should be counted on the dawn, morning and evening. Of the bait, the most favorite for him are worms, maggots, shell meat. However, especially in the summer, this fish is not too picky and can peck on steeply cooked semolina, corn, wheat (naturally, they should be boiled), even on potatoes. Especially during the period when he gains weight after hibernation or in front of her, a cautious bream bites well on all these baits.
How to catch? Usually fishing tackle using donkeys or feeder gear. This fish bites upright. Conventional float rods are suitable for such fishing. However, amateurs who know how to catch bream on the donka argue that this method of fishing is much more effective. It is advised to use a running donkey, on which the load is made sliding. Such tackle should not move quickly, the bream will not chase after elusive prey. He rather pecks at the bait, which moves at the bottom. Bottom tackle, which imitates such a movement, will interest the bream. Since this fish is very shy, it is necessary to observe silence in order to catch it. Even the look of the fishing line itself can frighten off such prey, so it is advised to use it as thin as possible. Good bait will attract a hunter such as bream. How to fish with plentiful bait? The bait should be tastier than the rest of the feed. This fish loves a good meal, it will return to where it found plentiful food.
Unlike many other fish, it is not difficult to pull out a bream caught on a hook; prolonged and tedious fishing is not required. When fishing on bream, the main thing is to lure, deceive and interest this fish, and then you can enjoy the catch.
