How to catch a carver? Tips and Tricks

Tolstolobik is one of the largest representatives of river peace fish. Refers to the family of carp. There are three varieties of silver carp: motley, white and hybrid. A distinctive feature of this fish is a large head with an elongated lower lip. The maximum weight can reach 50 kg.

In the rivers of the middle belt, the silver carp appeared not so long ago. He was brought from the Far East in order to help reduce the blooming of water in large bodies of water. Initially, it was not considered a commercial fish, but was later deliberately planted.

Where and how to catch carver?

This fish actively feeds in the warm season. I start catching from the end of May, when the water warms up to 20 degrees, and ends around the end of September. The silver carp has a peculiar behavior, for example, if you throw large stones into the river, you can see how the frightened fish starts splashing on the surface of the water. Therefore, it is not difficult to determine where he lives. It is enough to observe a little, and the carver will discover himself by splashes.

Where to catch a carver? It is found in almost any relatively large river. You can catch both from the shore and from the boat. It is possible for spinning or dunk, as well as for an ordinary float fishing rod. The cleavage is good in early summer. In August, lure the carver to the hook is already more difficult. Because at this time the water vegetation is flowering and there is enough fodder in the fish.

How to catch a carver? It is better to use spinning with a powerful inertial coil, which has excellent strength. Do not forget that this fish is very strong, and pull it is not easy. Lesku is better to use more than 0.2 mm in diameter, hooks from number 5 and more. There is a small trick that works personally for catching carp. Since the peculiarity of the fish is the upward lower lip, it can not pick up the food from the bottom. Therefore, you need to put a ball of foam on the hook, push it to the bottom, and then attach the bait on top. This simple trick will allow the nozzle not to sink to the very bottom of the reservoir.

Bait and lure

Now, how to catch a carver, the reader is clear. However, one technique for successful fishing is not enough. You need to think about the lure with a nozzle. The bait recipe:

1. We mix grass in such proportions: clover - 40%, nettle - 30%, water vegetation (from the river) - 30%. Finely chopped.
2. We add cucumbers. Calculation: 2 small cucumbers per 0.5 kg of herbal mixture. Twist all together in a meat grinder.
3. Let the mixture stand for 2 hours and mix with bran. Calculation: 1 kg of mixture per 300 g of bran.
4. We make large balls and throw them later in the place of catching carp.

For bait, we use algae, pieces of cucumber, canned peas.

Now, from the question of how to catch a carver on spinning, let's move on to the fishing rod. The traditional way is sometimes more interesting. So, how to catch a carver on a fishing rod? At once it is necessary to notice, that large individuals of this fish can easily tear tackles and even break a rod.

The place of catching is better to choose on the border of the vegetation (coastal) and the pit in the water. The process is similar to the one described above: a mandatory foam ball on the hook, so that the bait does not fall to the very bottom. As a nozzle it is better to use a bloodworm. Small carnivores (up to 5-6 kg) willingly peck at it.
