Fishing for grass carp is an interesting process. This fish belongs to the carp family. She eats at temperatures above + 10 degrees. The best time for catching this fish is spring or autumn. For fishing, you should choose sunny and low-wind periods, when it is already (or even) warm, but there is not enough natural food for the fish. Grass carp should be caught using strong gear, because this fish is very strong.
She bites quickly. If grass carp takes the bait, then swallows it almost immediately. This fish needs to be hooked with a long hook and immediately strive to bring it closer to the shore, not allowing it to turn around. If the white grass carp succeeds in doing this, then it can easily go into thickets or a pile of snags, from where it is extremely difficult to get it out.
Successful fishing for grass carp to a large extent depends on the level of familiarity of the place. It is best to feed him corn for several days in a row. A little more than half of the bait mixture should be thrown into the fishing place itself, and the rest should be scattered within a radius of five meters from it.
Since this fish is herbivorous, it can be caught on a tender, young cucumber ovary with an inflorescence. Grass carp also goes well on milk corn stalks and on aloe leaves (with cut spikes). Very good fish is caught on a ball of mulberry - seaweed of soft green saturated color with the smell of fresh cucumbers growing along the edges of the reservoir. These nozzles need to be wound to a hook. A very good effect is obtained by catching grass carp on reeds. This fish is also caught on corn and flavored corn-colored foam balls. They are mounted on appropriate gear instead of boilies.
Reed bait is very interesting. But here it is necessary to adhere to a number of rules in order for catching grass carp to be successful. The reeds are cut off about a meter long. At the top of the stem should be young shoots and leaves. Amur, as a rule, feeds near the surface of the water. If the reeds sink into the water, he grabs the crown of his head with a sharp jerk. The main subtlety here is the correct feeding of the bait. The hook must be very carefully masked in the leaves of the reed, and the fishing line wound on the stem in several revolutions.
Casting is done at the very edge of the reed thickets, so that the fish have the impression that the reed fell into the water on its own. It will be best if the reeds stay afloat. Then grass carp will show more interest in him. The fewer foreign objects around the abandoned nozzle, the more natural the reed stalk on the water will look, and the more likely it is to catch a fish. To catch such bait use tackle without a float.
When fishing for grass carp, there should be silence. This fish is extremely cautious. That is why it is best to catch it on a long cast, so that the angler is at a considerable distance from the hook with the nozzle. If grass carp feels the danger, it will even leave the feeding point and will not return soon. You should know that this fish is not too sensitive to the thickness of the line. It is best to catch grass carp on a feeder, a deaf boyle tackle or a donkey for silver carp.
