Fishing is probably one of the oldest ways to get food, which once allowed humanity to not starve to death, to feed itself. But seriously speaking, this is the most common hobby for many males in the entire post-Soviet space. And recently, various types of fishing are increasingly popular among other types of recreation. And not only for men, but also for some women.
Types of fishing
There are a huge number of them - good and different. Types of fishing also differ by season: winter - summer. And at the place of fishing: river, lake, sea, ocean. And according to the location of the fisherman: from the shore, from the water, from a boat, underwater. And on the gear that is used: a fishing rod, donka, spinning and other devices. And on the objects of fishing: here we will not list all the species diversity of marine life. Thus, every amateur - even a beginner - will be able to find for himself an option that suits his personal preferences and inclinations.
Summer
Fishing at this time of the year is a complete pleasure, all the more so that it can be combined, as they say, pleasant with useful: get trophies, sunbathe, and breathe fresh air in nature. Although the characteristic activity of the biting of aquatic inhabitants, as a rule, occurs on the morning / evening dawn, this does not prevent the most avid of fishermen from successfully catching during the daytime. And the season for summer fishing usually starts from the end of May - the beginning of June and lasts almost until half of September. In general, while there are warm and bright days.
Subseasons
Types of summer fishing directly depend on the subseasons. Hot time is traditionally divided into three. The first, when the water of large reservoirs, lakes and reservoirs is already warming up. What types of fishing are most common during this period? At the end of fishing bans, predatory fishing begins with spinning rods, as well as circles. Bream, for example, is taken on pre-fed places with bottom and float gear. Crucian carp goes well, often even during inclement weather. This is the period when crucians are taken with greed. Lasting several weeks, the bite intensity gradually weakens. As usual, only heat-loving fish take the bait, but when casting on top (using natural coupled with artificial baits) sometimes luck, it will be possible to "raise" an enviable fishing trophy.
"Golden mean
The main summer season, according to popular beliefs, marks the blooming of linden trees (although it should be borne in mind that in recent years, climatic conditions have changed quite significantly). A passing sign for an experienced fisherman is the maturation of currants, wild strawberries in gardens, in the forests - different berries. Many grasshoppers appear, they will be the best summer nozzle in many places. At present, some fish species are finicky, pecking for a short time - either at an early dawn, or at dusk, or at night.
Last season
This is the recession of summer, the beginning of the last period. The night lengthens, cold dew falls. The water in the reservoirs is cooled, and this contributes to the pre-autumn improvement of the bite of various species of fish, most of all predatory. But crucian carp is now caught not at sunrise, but closer to the evening dawn.
By month
- In June, you can "hunt" for crucian carp, carp. On the river, good prey is expected on the shallows and cliffs, in places with reeds. Catch well on maggots. Also relevant is the "universal soldier" - the worm. From the beginning of the month catfish begins to peck. In the evening, from seven o'clock, pike, a river predator, are perfectly caught.
- July and fishing sunflowers are not the best of friends. Many species of fish go deep, to where the water has not yet been warmed up, to places with bottom springs. If the day turned out to be cloudy or rainy, it is better to fish in the morning, early, when the water has not warmed up, and the fish comes to the surface. Or choose the late evening hours. On night fishing you can get catfish and bream, pike, perch or pike perch. In “stagnant” waters, the situation is worse: the water begins to bloom, becomes cloudy, the mass of algae, and overfeeding appears in fish. Undoubtedly, well fed and harder to catch.
- August is the crown of a warm pore. The heat is already decreasing, and the nights are cool, and the ponds are cooling, and life in the aquatic environment comes to life. Nibble improves markedly, usually by the second half. Catching predatory fish with spinning is effective, they begin to eagerly grab a spinner, wobbler.
Types of winter fishing
Today, fishing "on the cold" is very popular among fishermen - both beginners and professionals. Its popularity is growing every decade. And now, hundreds of thousands of people across the country give preference to such an exciting occupation. They go to lakes, rivers, reservoirs, ponds - there is no such force in the world that would keep inveterate fishermen warm and comfortable at home. Many are looking forward to the onset of the cold season, when you can go on the ice, drill a hole and with all the fibers of your soul feel the first careful bite, feeling the weight on the gear. Many anglers say that catching is more interesting in the winter, and trophies are richer than in the heat.
There are also their own specific types of fishing in winter, as well as special gear. For example, for fishing with the help of mormyshka (a special device that combines both a sinker and a hook), there are several fishing rod options. And the most famous among the people received the nickname "balalaika" - it looks similar to a musical instrument of the same name. In winter, you should choose a fishing tackle for fishing for a mormyshka (especially for a novice fisherman) based on amenities: lightness of material, comfortable placement in your hand. The material for the handle should not be thermally conductive, because often in winter ice fishing you tackle tackle with your bare hand.
Features for winter
With regards to this kind of fishing, the types of fishing here have their own seasonal specifics. It’s impossible to use ordinary fishing rods on ice, and their length is absolutely not suitable for ice fishing. Other technologies, other gear, even a different lure and bait. Fortunately, today any self-respecting fishing store will provide convenient gear, a huge selection of spinners and lures, lures and everything else for successful ice fishing. And for winter fishing with a float, you need a clearly visible and light, highly sensitive gear element. A winter float is usually streamlined and conical (cylindrical) in shape. If you do it yourself, then use cork or plastic, a piece of goose feather. Choose a bright and contrasting color for dyeing, apply across the entire length with transverse rings.
All these devices for winter fishing will help to ensure that it is catchy and effective.
