Catching of pike perch in winter

With the onset of the first frosts, when the ice field on the pond becomes stable and durable, the fascinating occupation - fishing for zander in winter - begins. It is not so much the interest of fishing results, how many emotions, experiences and joyful moments it is caused by hunting for this fish, when the physical data of an angler are checked, all his skills and knowledge are the main components of fishing skills. Catching of pike perch in winter has one feature - it requires very frequent transitions along the reservoir in order to find a fish veining cant.

Choose a place where catching pike-perch in the winter for a spoon-bob will be effective, it is necessary with the mind, and for this you need knowledge about where the predator can live and stay. The best places for his dwelling are the crochets-the transitions of the bottom channel to the shore zone, the neighborhood of the shallows and pits, the flooded ravines and riverbeds, the ridges with rocky bottom, stone rubble, corn-grass, old people. Sometimes pike-perch can come out on an even bottom with a shallow depth - from two to three meters. It is not an easy task to find such a place, since this fish does not like to concentrate in one place, and there are no regularities in the search.

Successful catching of pike perch in winter can only come from a close-knit team: according to the biting of this fish, the fishers can approximately determine the jamb, and in what direction it moves. In this case, you can catch only one specimen from the hole, and the holes in the neighborhood will not give you a bite. If the pond is unknown, it is best to listen to the advice of professional local fishermen. Approximately determining in which direction the crochet passes, it is necessary to punch holes in a direction perpendicular to it every four to five meters. The holes penetrate until the edge of the edge is detected and, it is desirable, to designate them, in case of snowfall. It should not be forgotten that in the vicinity of the crook, in two adjacent holes, depth difference of 50 centimeters is of great importance.

During the whole winter period, the places of larvae and hunting of pike perch change very often. The essential point is that this fish prefers pure, running water, and at the onset of the spring period, when the water begins to fill with turbidity, and catching pike perch in winter in the current can lead to a good result. The depth of the predator is 2.5 to 7 meters. Good luck can bring catch of pike perch in the winter in the first 10-15 days after the formation of ice on the pond, and in the very beginning of spring. Particularly active begins to peck pike perch in a thaw, after prolonged frost, when the temperature regime rises, there is a pressure drop, water begins to appear on the surface of the ice, and the atmospheric precipitation changes in the form of snow to a drizzling rain. When the weather is clear, frosty and steady, pike-perch biting is observed throughout the day, but the best time is considered early morning and evening.

The attitude of this predator to the spoons is of great interest. There is an opinion that catching pike-perch in winter is preferable to bait, but very often this fish can be caught on a spoon directly from under the arranged stilts, the livers on which remain untouched. Experienced fishermen feel a spoonbark, perceive it as something alive, and run it in such a way that they provoke the pike perch - decisive, quick, and without the slightest slowness. The grasp of a spoon-bait with a pike-perch causes different sensations. If it was made during the free diving of spoon-bait in the water, then you can not feel the bite, but when lifting on a fishing line a weight is felt. If the fisherman, having not executed in the sweeps, starts the upsurge of the pike perch, it is likely that when approaching the hole, it will open the jaws and leave. The pike-perch of small sizes can be felt like a weak push, the big fish, on the contrary, with all its inherent solidity, throws itself on the lure with all its weight.
