Everyone who is at least fond of fishing knows that there is no better time than the first ice, although this type of fishing is fraught with some dangers. In addition, it is impossible to predict the outcome of such fishing in advance. During this period, a completely different life begins for the predatory inhabitants of the reservoirs, they have a special behavior. This is explained by the fact that such small fish as beehives, crucian carp or rudd, have already gone to wintering pits, and therefore pike, pike perch and perch are looking for a place to hunt: their main food has disappeared.
Ice Fishing Accessories
Winter fishing, as well as summer fishing, involves the use of a variety of gear. Including many people like fishing for zerlitsa - a special device designed for predatory prey. Burbot, zander, perch and, of course, toothy pike are caught on it.
Fishing for a zergirls is very popular among ice fishing enthusiasts, although some consider it less reckless. However, it is difficult to agree with this. Of course, it can not be compared with fishing for mormyshka, although this type of fishing cannot be called completely passive.
To the zerglitsa
This type of extraction of predatory inhabitants of the reservoir has a number of features. Everyone who is planning to return home with a good “harvest” should know the secrets of fishing for zergirls. You need to be able to correctly catch, correctly choose equipment, etc.
The best winter fishing vents must meet a wide range of requirements. They should be simple to manufacture and easy to handle, compact enough when folded and when charged, visible from afar.
The vents must have sufficient sensitivity, but not be triggered by gusts of wind, always be equally reliable and suitable for different fishing conditions. Moreover, this characteristic extends to both standing water and the flow, both to frost and to the thaw.
Rigging
Winters for winter fishing are designed for catching predatory fish. Mostly it is a pike. The tackle consists of fishing line or cord, wound crosswise on a small leafy knot - a wooden flyer. The latter, in turn, is tied to a pole installed in the ice inclined to the water.
A hook is attached to the forest with a leash. He profits from a fish and sinks into a pre-drilled hole. Prey, such as a pike, grabbing the bait, begins to pull the fishing line. The latter is gradually reeling off the flyer. The predator manages to swallow the hook during this time, and the fisherman can only pull it out.
How is fishing
If you have to catch a pike, then the fishermen know that the gorse must be installed in her favorite place so that it hangs above the water without touching the surface. A live bait must be attached to the leash, so that at a depth of not less than fifty centimeters it can move freely. Of course, this must be done so that he still retains mobility for some time. There are many ways to fasten live bait, but the simplest, perhaps, is a hook under its dorsal fin. This must be done carefully, taking care not to damage the spine. Otherwise, the bait will die quickly.
After the depth of immersion of the bait fish is adjusted, the fishing line must be clamped in the slingshot of the slingshot so that when it is jerked, it is easily released, and production would begin to swallow the bait unhindered.
Experienced anglers who know the secrets of winter fishing for zergilniks are sure that you must use the inhabitant of the same reservoir as bait. Indeed, even a caddis flock brought from a neighboring lake “works” much worse as a nozzle than it was caught in advance there. For example, a pike almost never touches live bait if it is a fish fry not from its river.
Types of women
For winter fishing, there are quite a lot of varieties. For a long time such constructions of this gear were widely used, in which the base is a platform that completely covers itself, like a lid, with a hole. In the center of such a “shutter”, a hole is made through which the line is carried into the water.
In general, the avid "hunters" who know almost all types of ice-fishing gadgets for winter fishing believe that when choosing this equipment, especially designed for such a predator as a pike, appearance is not so important. Apparently, therefore, many of the designs made by them with their own hands look rather rude, although impressive.
In large bodies of water, in which the oxygen content does not change throughout the season, fishing for ice-flask from ice involves the use of leashes with a soft braid and a steel core. Although there are certain drawbacks in them, only their pike can not have a bite when fighting.
In shallow reservoirs, lanterns with such leashes are used only in the first ice. It is better to choose varieties whose racks are made of either wood or plastic, since they do not freeze on ice. Regardless of which design the gear has, fishing for a lantern is better if it is simple and compact.
How to choose a girl
To do this, you need to know a few rules. To begin with, they relate to the coil, in which axial play should not be provided in any case. This snap-in must be worn on the pin with a sleeve. It is desirable that the coil was made of fluoroplastic, since this material almost never freezes to metal. As for the bite signaling device, it should be set in motion even with a load of about one hundred grams.
In addition, the coil should be fixed at a distance not exceeding one and a half millimeters from the bracket holder. Moreover, from it to the surface of the ice should be about ten centimeters. The dimensions of this component of the gear should be as follows: the diameter is from forty to fifty millimeters, and the width of the sides is up to fifteen. Only in this case can overlapping or dropping of the fishing line, as well as the unwinding of the reel at the time of bite, be eliminated.
The best models
Fishing for a lantern depends on several components of success. This is known to everyone who has caught tackle at least two or three times. Ninety percent depends on what kind of design it has, fishing will take place in joy, or it will turn into an unattractive and ungrateful job. That is why those models that are not confused during transportation are considered the best. In addition, you need to tackle in a matter of seconds from the packed position to the working.
Fishing for a zergirls will go better if the tackle has a plastic base measuring 250x150 millimeters, which will cover the hole. This gives the following advantages: in small frosts, the water does not freeze during the whole fishing, and in extreme cold tackle will remain operational for several hours, and without outside interference. A person will only need to clean the hole once or twice.
In addition, fishing for the zergirls will become catchy if during biting the equipment will easily work, practically without resisting predatory prey and creating all the conditions so that it swallows live bait.
In addition, equipment should be easy and quick to assemble. This dignity is fully appreciated when at the end of the “working day” fishing for the lancer ends, and the poor hunter has to collect about two dozen tackles in a short time, so that you can go to battle again tomorrow without much labor .
