Catching crucian in spring: rules and secrets

Harvesting of crucian in spring is most successful in late April - early May. Over the winter, this fish is wasting almost all its forces and therefore is rapidly trying to fill them. After all, it has the most important stage ahead - the period of spawning, during which crucians need even more energy.

Therefore, in this relatively short period of time, from the melting of ice to the beginning of spawning, the fish eats intensively, and catching crucian carp in early spring is especially productive.

Fishermen call this time "pre-spawning zhorom". It lasts a maximum of three weeks, the start time of which depends on the weather conditions and the region of the fish habitat.

The earlier the ice comes off, the earlier the crucian is activated. Therefore, the main task of the fishermen is to catch the moment when the crucian successively grabs everything around, even the bare hook. Then, catching crucian carp in spring will be successful. However, with the beginning of cherry blossom, this paradise for the fisherman will end, and he can wind down fishing rods or switch to another fish.

Carp, being a sedentary fish, prefers to keep a permanent place, and in the spring months it keeps close to the shore, where more food and warmer water. Sometimes it stops in narrow channels, on shallows or in thickets of reeds, where warm-up is carried out more quickly.

Harvesting the crucian in the spring involves reliable and strong tackles, so that in case they get caught on a snag or some water vegetation, do not sacrifice equipment. After all, near the coastline, from which this fish tries not to depart, there are many such barriers.

Therefore, at this time catching the crucian on the fishing rod is optimal. And the most suitable are match rods, which do not exceed five meters in length. At the same time, they should be light and fast, so as not to cause the owner additional trouble.

The best biting is observed in the evening after sunset, although in clear and sunny weather carp will be caught all day. The activity of this fish falls off when cloudy and windy days are set, especially if they last long.

Carp can be found very easily. During its spring pre-spawning zhora, this fish is very actively digging in the ooze, causing drowsiness or air bubbles to rise from the bottom. With the naked eye, it can be seen from the oscillation of reeds and reeds.

Harvesting the crucian in the spring will be much more effective if the fish feed a little. Of course, during this period it is very hungry and it can be caught in sufficient quantity without additional food, but only when the fisherman has chosen the right place, and the weather conditions contribute to this in full.

Therefore, in order to be sure of frequent biting, it is better to feed the fish after all. And it does not really matter if the lure is satisfying, the main thing is that it attracts the fish with its scent. These can be bread crumbs, ground bread, semolina, etc.

Carp best bites on bloodworms or ordinary worm, but anglers with experience recommend each time to try something new.

They say that this fish likes even a far from fishy dish - pastila.
