Fishing for pike in March is a fish business!

It's no secret that the beginning of spring for many experienced fishermen is considered to be a fishing season. This is especially true of underwater predators. And pike fishing in March is generally one of the most exciting and profitable lessons from the point of view of an experienced fisherman. In the very beginning of spring, when the ice has not yet fully descended, this fish-predator immediately goes on a search for food and rushes with joy at everything that floats and moves in the water. That is, almost any bait, which offers her an angler. It is this early spring time that is considered the time of catching large trophies.

Features of the March national fishing

Fishing for pike in March gives you the opportunity to experience real fishing luck. Catch, so to speak, the "fish of your dreams." Fishing for pike in March gives not only active biting, but also the joy of a large catch. By the way, it is not necessary to experiment especially with tackles, like a winter fishing rod or donkey, with attachments to interest a predator fish. Pike fishing in March involves the use of ordinary, but high-quality, spinning and artificial baits. In the rest - only the desire and success of the fisherman.

The main thing is to be in time

The spring activation of the pike lasts rather short. Already in April she goes to spawn. After spawning, biting, as a rule, can be resumed, but without the previous enthusiasm, the fish ceases to rush to practically any proposed bait. So the main task of every fisherman is to have time to use the opportunity provided by nature. And it is not superfluous to note that this hunt for pike has already become a favorite pastime of many Russian anglers. And the excitement goes off, and without a catch you will not come home.

Pike fishing in March for spinning

As already mentioned, only spinning and artificial baits are needed. But the tackle is different. And on this question I would like to dwell in more detail. Since this fish in March is particularly hungry and very active, it is recommended to use wobblers, twisters and vibro tails of all stripes and manufacturers. The bait should not be too bulky, small in size (by the way, the size of the river shark caught in March practically does not depend on it), it has a natural coloring. This later, in the summer and autumn, you will be outgrown: to plant newfangled things to attract the attention of fish. In the beginning of spring, during zhora, it is necessary to act as naturally as possible and easier. This position is more or less clear. We pass to the spinning itself.

In the spinning rod should be hard, harder. Since, based on experience, soft can simply not cut the mouth of a predator, and it will go away (especially if it is a fairly large specimen). Enough to feel the stretch, and a soft tip on the rod. In length, it should be 2.5 to 3 meters - the best option. Longer to choose is not recommended, as often enough to maneuver and throw. It is best to install the coil without inertia, with a spare spool, a powerful clutch. But from the fishing line, the braid will have to be abandoned, since it is possible to hit the fingers, and in the cold time it can bring unpleasant pain. In general, pike fishing in March for spinning is fishing from the category: more catch, less "bother" with the technological sides of the process. Because with the right choice of place and time, the predator will be good at pecking.

What other gear can I use?

Of course, in addition to spinning, you can use some other gear (in the presence of ice, not yet descended - winter). Widely used zallitsa and flashing. You need to select the spoon, according to the time of day. In sunny weather, it is best to use dull baits, a fairly modest color. And in the evening - on the contrary - a silver or yellow spinner.

Where to look for prey?

Pike fishing in March always begins with the search for fish places. It's not so difficult to do this, especially to an experienced fisherman. What you need to know about the habits of fish at this time of year? The spawning pike is almost always the same. To him, they are moving along the paved route from year to year. If you find out (as a rule, by experience) this "router", then pike fishing in March is much easier. Otherwise, you have to do everything in a row, periodically producing countless empty casts of tackle. Having found the same perspective position, you will be able to make almost almost every cast.

Sun and water temperature

From these two factors, much depends, so that fishing for pike in March was as effective as possible. There is also a dependence on the types of water bodies. Previously, all the pike spawning begins in ponds with depths of 2-4 meters. Here, water without a special current quickly warms up with spring sun rays. Consequently, the preceding zhor begins also earlier. And in large water bodies and rivers, things are a little different. Here spawning occurs later due to insufficient heating of the water. Weather factors have a strong influence: if the warm early March, then the zhor begins much earlier than, for example, in the previous spring. Therefore, it is necessary to be as observant as possible and carefully monitor the weather conditions in relation to previous years, so that fishing for pike in March was successful, and simply not to miss the time of the zhora, after which spawning time comes, and the fish ceases to peck.

Perfect weather

The spring month of March gives not only clear sunny days. But strangely enough, the ideal weather for pike fishing is considered to be cool, cloudy, windy - in short, not quite pleasant for the fisherman. But if after long weather the sunny days are set, then also, probably, the pike fishing in March will be quite successful. Fishing will lead to a catch, because at such moments the pike follows the mall rising upwards - to bask in the warm water from the sun. And gradually moving to the spawning places, the predatory fish eats everything on its way, and a large share in the diet is precisely the male.

Pike fishing in March-April

Usually at the end of March or the beginning of April the pike leaves for spawning. And during the spawning period, fishing is prohibited. But after the spawning predator can be searched in shallow water. There, after spawning, it rests for a while, and then it goes back to the depth. However, in comparison with zhor in the beginning - the middle of March, the fish will not have that appetite. Happy fishing to everyone!
