Carp is a welcome trophy for many lovers of active fishing. His bites, as evidenced by the reviews, make the heart beat joyfully, and the survival process is a real test of endurance.
Common carp fishing information
This fish is a representative of the carp family. She is far from simple. To be more precise, carp is a “wild” carp, which instead of ponds and fish farms lives in rivers and lakes. Even experienced anglers can not always boast of catching trophy specimens. Sazan is a very shy inhabitant of the underwater world, in addition, he is secretive and very careful. Finding places of his feeding is sometimes difficult. However, those who at least once in their lives had the chance to measure their strength with a huge carp, and then hold it in their hands, feeling its weight, are again and again looking for a meeting with this giant. And this is not surprising: sometimes fishermen come across specimens with a mass of thirty kilograms.
Spring fishing
Fishing in the spring is very different from carp fishing. It can not be called a comfortable sitting on the beach waiting for a bite. Therefore, this type of fishing is not a quiet pastime. Before it starts, in about half an hour or forty minutes, you should feed the place, it is better not one, but three at once. Fishing in the spring is a constant active search for paths, the selection of food and the choice of bait.
After the ice drift, this fish begins to slowly move away from wintering, it comes out of snags and pits on the shallows. With the onset of heat, aquatic vegetation, which this carp absorbs, also actively grows. Catching of carp in the spring in rivers and lakes differs little. In March, before spawning, this fish is hooked less frequently than in the zhora season, which begins immediately seven to ten days after laying eggs. Judging by the reviews, the most successful fishing in the spring is observed on warm days when the water temperature reaches twenty-six degrees.
Catchy places
The most effective time is considered to be April, when the rivers and bodies of water are sufficiently warmed up. At this time, the most promising places are the clayey edges at the steeply yarns, as well as pits with snag, where the opposite course. Sites for fishing carp in these spring days need to be selected wisely. The main factor determining the site’s catchability is the ability to position gear under the edge.
Fishing in the Volga in spring, especially in April, is very good. Finding it is easy: with the onset of dawn, this fish splashes almost on the surface of the water. When playing, she herself shows her habitat. Sometimes the common carp splashes powerfully at night, betraying its location.
Having found such places, the angler must observe silence: the carp is very careful. This fish likes to lie on a muddy bottom, so if the nozzle does not reach the bottom, then it simply will not take it.
To the donkey
Fishing in the carp in early spring goes well using a boat. At the same time, the donka should be rough and necessarily strong in order to be able to hold large enough specimens. With this kind of fishing, a person will need enormous patience, as large carp can easily break thin fishing line, and they will notice the thick one and avoid it. Therefore, it is better to choose a thickness of 0.4 to 0.5 millimeters, while equipping the gear with a reel.
Then it will be possible to feed the fishing line to the prey, gradually releasing it to the best moment for cutting. To prevent the very first and most powerful jerk of this fish, you need to be careful: immediately after the carp takes the nozzle, you need to fix the rod, choosing an angle of about fifty degrees for this. At the same time, if a deep and short section is chosen as a place for fishing, then using a reel is impractical, since the carp often goes down, and it is almost impossible to get it out of there.
To feeder
This fish is not only very careful, it is also strong and fast. Usually she can easily tear the fishing line and even break the rod. Fishing in the spring is a chance for the angler to fulfill his dream: to catch a very large trophy specimen. For this, a feeder is needed on the river. Its length should be from 3.5 to 3.9 meters, and it should be quite powerful.
Feeder - great tackle for long casting. So that the current could not affect the fishing line, it is better to fix the rod vertically on the shore. The fishing line must be used no thicker than a quarter of a millimeter. This characteristic of the gear is also dictated by the influence of the current. At the same time, a capacious spool will be required for the power coil, which should correspond to the rod with its dimensions.
If the carp is caught in stagnant water, for example, in a pond or on a canal, then three or three and a half meters will be sufficient length for the feeder. For optimal rigging, a paternoster or anti-twist made from a tube are equally suitable. If in this case there is no particular difference when fishing on a feeder, then the feeder, on the contrary, must be selected very carefully. For stagnant water, where there is practically no flow or it is weak, a plastic cylindrical version is well suited, with an average lead, and with a strong one - a steel cage. Moreover, if maggot is used as bait, then a special container will be needed.
Catching carp on the feeder is not an easy task, requiring constant attention and work from the fisherman. He needs to throw equipment often, and keep an eye on it all the time, and constantly fix the rod on the shore without practically resting. Therefore, in addition to patience, perseverance will be required for a person to get on the feeder.
To boilies
For the success of fishing, you need to choose not only gear, but also tips. Although the “wild” carp eats a wide variety of foods, it is somewhat capricious in choosing bait. Fishing in the spring for boilies is especially effective, but seasonal preferences are also worth considering.
The universal nozzle for this fish is an earthworm. In different conditions, the carp also bites bloodworms or maggots, it takes good barley,
crayfish, boiled potatoes or peas. Some for this fishing use creeps and
earthworms collected by a bunch.
Nevertheless, the most popular is fishing for carp on boilies. In the spring, balls with the smell of fish or krill are justified. It should be borne in mind that the best are nozzles or complementary foods of animal origin.
