Where is the best fishing in February?

The end of winter is justified as a deaf time for fishing. It is not without reason that it is called a deaf-muzzle. However, fishing in February is still possible - for the patient, well-dressed and knowledgeable secrets of hunters. Of course, such a prey, as in spring and summer, does not have to wait. But you should not give up an exciting lesson.

Weather and Catch

Winter fishing in February strongly depends on what is happening on the street. In warm days it is quite possible to count on the success of your enterprise. But as soon as the north wind blew out, the biting ceases immediately. To predict the behavior of fish can be in good time: if a couple of days before the planned raid was quiet, without a blizzard, the temperature below -10 did not fall, there was no strong wind-boldly on the road. During the thaw, there should be no precipitation the same two days before the hikes, and in the daytime it should be noticeably warmer.

Fishing in winter in February definitely will not be asked, if the weather changes dramatically - literally within a day. Absence of biting is observed and if atmospheric pressure jumps - by ten millimeters per day; If the wind is noticeable and constantly changes direction; If magnetic storms are noted . Or if the frost with the wind increases at the same time.

Signs of biting

Our ancestors for fish came out not only in the season - in the winter, such a welding to the table was never a hindrance. So the age-old observations of the weather competently overlapped the knowledge of fish habits and can tell you when fishing in February can bring not only moral satisfaction. The main signs are:

1. The birds sit on the tops of the trees. Soon it will be colder, perhaps sharply.
2. Yesterday we sat on the tops, today we choose the lower branches - it's warmer.
3. Roosters sing earlier - also to warming. However, where to get them in the city ...
4. But the dogs, riding in the snow, foreshadow a heavy snowfall, and perhaps a blizzard. Urgently need to go for a roach!

However, even after checking with the barometer and people's perceptions, at the beginning of the month for a relatively successful catch will have to spend a huge amount of time and effort. Where fishing is more successful in late February, when potential prey begins to slowly wake up and get out of the wintering pits.

Oxygen starvation

Another reason why fishing in February usually brings a meager catch is sea fish. A thick ice crust does not allow the saturation of water with oxygen. Plus, the aquatic vegetation dies and rot, destroying the remains of gas. It's clear that if there was a sea, there's nothing to catch in the chosen place. So, before decaying, we must carefully look at whether the first signs of moraine have appeared. Even before the fish pops up with a belly, oxygen starvation is manifested by dead insects floating on the surface of the hole. Another sign - almost immediately perishes zhivets. And at the very beginning of the process, when even these signs are not yet there, you can determine the approach of the moraine by darkening the line and tarnishing the spoon-bait.

In addition to folding the fishing rods, you have to report on what you have seen to the fish protection, if you, of course, expect to ever fish in this pond.

Rough month

Many people neglect this prickly fish. And in vain! Firstly, fishing was canceled in February, and secondly, large specimens among ruffs are not rare, and thirdly, they will quite go as a bait to a more "respected" fish. With the help of a winter fishing rod and mormyshki you can count on a decent catch. The subtleties are as follows: the ruff is a shy fish. When making holes, it is better to use an ice-block, so as not to shuffle the flock. For the same reason, many holes should not be drilled - it will be too light, the ruff will immediately go upstream.

The next thing you need to pay attention to is a game of mormish. To attract ruffs, 4-5 weak impacts to the bottom are first made. After mormyshka as slowly as possible rises, until it completely bends. It is at this point that the bite usually goes. If it did not work, the mormyshka wiggles 20 centimeters and sinks backward. Ruff is taken on a worm-dung, larvae burdock and bloodworm.

Where and how to catch perch

In the middle of the month, perch fishing is successful. In February, this fish is normally caught on an ordinary short winter fishing rod. In clear frosty weather, it "grazes" at depth. In the evening dawn of a perch, on the contrary, it is necessary to look for small fry, and in a thaw and gloomy weather - under the bottom ice edge.

As for tackles: the nods are cone-shaped, up to ten centimeters long, better from metal, lavsan, polycarbonate with an additional rib of rigidity - they are more resistant to the side wind. The line is from 0.08 to 0, 15 mm. Mormyshkas are small, the diameter is not more than 4 mm, and the hook height is a maximum of 7. As a bait , butterfly, fish fillets, maggots, fresh meat, worms are attractive for bass. For lactating, the bloodworm and the dung worm are good.

How to catch burbot

You have to go to this fish in the night. He lives burbot in stony placers and ridges, if the underwater keys are near. In the river prefers pebbly and sandy, relatively clean, unoccupied bottom. The bark of burbot is observed from nine in the evening to midnight and from three to five in the morning. The ideal way is to fish in February to the jars, equipped with a bunch of worms. It is possible and flashing. Spoon-baits are wide, but light enough; The process is carried out at a distance of not more than twenty centimeters from the bottom, since burbot - fish bottom, does not rise higher (especially coarse).

Fishing at the end of February is more successful with a mormyshka. It needs a large, in conjunction with the line to 0.4 millimeters - more thin fish will break. It will be more effective to catch with an additional hooked hook or worm. Mormyshka or shakes without breaking off from the bottom with small interruptions, or rises / falls without sharp jerks.

Hunting for pike perch

Features of the February catch are that the young man, who at this time feeds on pike perch, keeps depth, where the water is warmer. There you must look for pike perch. The best time for his fishing is frosty and clear days, although there are usually few of them. However, on other days the pike-perch also comes across if it is starving. An additional factor in choosing a place should be a lowered water level.

All winter gear - and a spoon-bait, and zalitsa, and balancer are suitable. When the spoon is to be used, the irritation method should be used: it barely blesnets touches the bottom, it gradually rises to half a meter, after five seconds, a sharp drop is made. This technique is very effective if fishing in February is aimed at pike perch.

If you chose a balancer, its length should be 5-12 centimeters, and the weight is calculated depending on the intended place of fishing. The tactics with the strategy are as follows: the bait falls to the bottom, the centimeter to 15 rises - and follows a smooth but strong swing. If there is a literate course at the bottom of the silt, it will occasionally tap on the bottom of the balance bar to piss water.

Among the councils experienced - go to the pike perch company, in order to cover a large area. Found a fish place to "hog" should quickly - bite does not last long.

Catching pike

It should be noted that fishing in February on the Volga quickly ceases to be winter and more like a spring. Just time to hunt for pike. Looks for places in which streams or rivers flow into the pond. Water should not be stagnant - the current enriches it with oxygen, which is especially important in February. This month the pike often keeps close to the shores, if there is deep, there is no vegetation and there is a toplik. The optimal time for fishing is in the morning from seven to nine, around noon and between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, it is unlikely to get a pike in February.

The chances of catching this fish for trolling are not too great - it is still sluggish and inactive in winter. However, they are, and they can be properly used. The winter fishing rod should be somewhat longer, strong enough, and the nod on it - short and with a catchy marker. If you crawl at depths and spoon-bait heavy, at 15-20 grams, a nod is required hard. On the shallows, when using lightweight 3-5-gram balancers and spoon-baits, the nod should be much softer. In order not to change the nod, it is more sensible to have with yourself javelins with a snap for all kinds of spoon-baits.

Doughts for pike

More chances for craftsmen with a float fishing rod. On the live pike pecks and in the deaf. Fishing in the pike is successful in February with the help of the javelins. First of all, they need to be strategically placed. Do not want to bother with a depth gauge - choose the places where the dump in the depth is not too harsh; Where along the shore there are thickets of cattail or reeds; Where there are observed buckwheels (dumped trees and stumps). That the pike fishing in February on zharglitsy pleased with the prey, they should be placed along the line, thirty meters from one another and very close to the shore - this month the pike almost climbs to the land.
