Karasevaya fishing is still one of the most popular among both professionals and lovers of this sport and recreation. Despite the external simplicity, it requires not only a certain experience, but also knowledge of some subtleties. One of them, of course, is bait for crucian carp. With your own hands you can cook a lot of simple "dishes" that will attract aquatic inhabitants to the chosen place of fishing.
Features of bait in different reservoirs
Crucian carp is very attached to its habitat, and if you find the place of its usual feeding, then there is no need to use any means to attract it. The main thing is to accurately calculate the time when the largest individuals come out, and this often depends on the depth of the place and the weather. But such luck is possible only in reservoirs with a rich forage base.
In lakes or quarries, where there is little vegetation, fish always go fatten to the shore, where it must be kept as long as possible. And, therefore, the catch will depend on how effective bait for crucian will be at this time. With your own hands you can make a mixture of bran, crackers and sunflower meal. Such bait usually requires a large amount: from 3 to 5 kilograms. If industrial concentrates are used, the amount of the mixture used will be reduced to 2 kilograms, since it can be diluted with earth.
In heavily overgrown and shallow reservoirs, bait for crucian carp is also necessary. You can make a mixture of dry oatmeal and water with your own hands. It should have a fairly dense consistency in order to form it into a lump and toss it to the place of feeding. Rye bread soaked in water is also suitable for such purposes.
The poorest reservoirs of vegetation are quarries. A very simple recipe for bait for crucian carp is useful here: ordinary barley steamed in water. Maggot, as well as a mixture of coastal soil and small bloodworms, are suitable for bait in such reservoirs.
Simple tips for successful fishing
Many fishermen, embarking on a pond, are puzzled by the question: "How to make bait for crucian carp at home?" Below are some simple tips, following which you can significantly increase the catch.
1. It is desirable that the spices that are added to the bait, have already been tested in this reservoir by other fishers. If there is no reliable information about their successful use, it is better to refrain from aromatic substances. Contrary to the opinion that crucian carp is attracted by pungent smells, he is a well-known conservative, and therefore he is cautious about innovations. Among the most common aromatic additives are cocoa, anise, canola, garlic and laurel.
2. If vegetable oil is added to bait, then the dosage should be observed: for 1 kilogram of the mixture - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of oil.
3. Hard cereals (barley, wheat) require much more time for cooking than oatmeal and crackers. You can use a thermos or a cooker for such purposes.
4. If the consistency of the bait is loose, then you can “glue” it with milk powder, rather than using artificial adhesive additives.
Conclusion
Bait for crucian carp, cooked with your own hands, should not contain extraneous odors and tastes. Observing the avid fishermen, an important conclusion can be made: non-smoking fishermen always have more catch than adherents of bad habits! If you follow a simple advice: carefully wipe your hands with a napkin before heading or throwing bait, then the number of fish caught can be significantly increased. But it is best to completely say goodbye to a bad habit, since crucian carp are most likely ardent adherents of a healthy lifestyle!
