When the water has already been warmed up enough, and the spawning is long over, the crucian begins to look for food in its usual places. He continues to eat animal products, but gradually vegetable fodder appears in his diet. Although this does not happen everywhere and not always.
Each reservoir inhabited by a crucian, asks fishermen their riddles. In one of them, crucian fishing is possible only in the early morning, before sunrise. Crucian carp from another reservoir pecks exclusively during the day and only if about ten meters from the place of fishing are noisy, raising the dregs from the bottom, cheerful bathers. The third body of water in the afternoon looks extinct, but in the evening twilight, kilogram giant fish sink floats and confuse gear in the grass.
We have to admit that this fish does not have a common behavior. Therefore, fishing for crucian carp is a difficult and interesting task. Too many discoveries and surprises can come across a fisherman on his way. The theory distinguishes between two main types of crucian fishing: fishing with the help of donkey and float fishing.
Fishing for carp is a good school for a novice angler. The equipment for it is not particularly difficult: the rod, reel, fishing line, float, sinker, hook. Nuances begin when you have to adapt to the specific conditions of fishing.
The fisherman has to choose the length of the rod and its structure in order to throw the nozzle in place of fishing. With long casting, the so-called Bologna gear is convenient . With close casting it is better to use a fly-rod. If the water is clear, then fishing for carp with a float fishing rod involves the use of thin fluorocarbon woods. If the water is cloudy, then you can do with monofilament of larger diameters and not use leashes. Even the choice of float, sinker and hook size depend on the fishing conditions of the crucian carp.
Catching crucian carp to the donka also does not seem at first glance something very complicated. The equipment for it is easier than when fishing with a float rod, but it should be perfectly debugged. This is especially true for the bite signaling device.
Crucian in the summer - a careful fish. Catching crucian carp without bait at this time of the year is not very promising, with the most severe requirements for bait. Its basis should be crushed products of plant origin with the obligatory inclusion of the animal component, baking powder and large particles of complementary foods. At this time, flavorings become an integral part of bait. An obligatory component of summer fishing is the attachment (bait).
Lure the fisherman often enough. The bait of the first is always suitable for a smaller and nimble fish, which pretty quickly eats up its small fractions. Crucian carp, especially large ones, does not approach bait immediately and eats only its large particles. This applies to both float and bottom species of fishing for this fish (except for donkeys with a feeder).
Summer nozzles are another riddle of crucian carp, a solution to which can only be given by the reservoir itself and by the old-timers who know all its secrets. Sometimes, in order to catch crucian carp, a fisherman needs to visit a pond without a fishing rod and walk along the shore, feeling like Agent 007. You need to go to the slingshot left by the old-timers and carefully examine the banks. On the shore, you can definitely find the remains of baits or bait. This will help the fisherman to choose the nozzle.
And, of course, you need to consider the influence of the weather. Crucian carp, like no other fish, reacts to pressure changes, changes in the level and transparency of water and other natural factors. In fishing, there are no trifles at all, and in the case of carp fishing this rule can be safely squared. This is difficult, but there is nowhere for anyone who has firmly decided to catch crucian carp.
