Fishing for pike perch in September is a very exciting and fruitful activity. This is excitement and welcome trophies. Sudak is very interesting for active fishing enthusiasts with its behavior. Unlike a toothy pike, he does not stand in ambush for days in dense vegetation; he does not wait for a victim from shelter. He pursues her, drives her, and rarely what kind of fish does not appear in his mouth. Fishing in September is also interesting because zander begins in zander. This means that its activity increases significantly. And this is bites, and struggle, and a full catch catch.
Pike perch biting
In September fishing for zander can be carried out for days. The feeding of this "river tiger" in autumn is conditionally divided into two stages - day and night. It is very interesting that the most aggressive and intense zander rushes on the bait after sunset. If someone believes that a predator cannot be found voraciously in ponds, then he is mistaken. Zander surpasses toothy in many respects. He is persistent and strong, fast and aggressive. He will not leave his victim alone and will chase after her until she becomes his dinner. And if you take into account that this school of fish is flocking, then such an interest of spinning fishermen to the river gnarl is quite understandable.
There are times when during a hunt a pike perch literally flies out in shallow water, and sometimes jumps ashore. True, it is here that he himself becomes easy prey. In the afternoon, this predator is sought in the depths. It keeps on flow at the very bottom. In the daytime, zander is caught in September by trolling. Large baits or silicone vibro-tails and twisters are most often used as bait. They also catch him from a boat “plumb”. In general, September is the best time for fishing on the "river tiger" of zander. As a rule, an excellent nibble lasts throughout the month, which undoubtedly pleases anglers.
The best time of day for fishing for zander
So, catching zander in September is possible day and night. This is the peculiar charm of fishing for this predator. But one cannot do without negative points here. One of the drawbacks is that the greatest intensity of biting occurs in the dark. The inability to see well deprives the fisherman of a chance to make an accurate cast. Wiring is also carried out almost "blindly." In the afternoon, such problems do not arise, but the activity of zander is not so high.
Pike perch bait
September, fishermen-hunters of predators also love because it is during this period that you can use the entire arsenal of lures. But zander has its own requirements and preferences. He goes well to the elongated bait, reminiscent of a roach or a bleak. Sometimes spinning and catch live bait. Most often they take dace, gudgeon and small roach for these purposes. Other fish species are less effective. In September fishing for zander is most interesting with the use of jig baits. We are, of course, talking about foam fish, twisters and vibro-tails. The wiring is made stepwise at the very bottom with periodic tapping on it.
Pike perch gear
Of course, most often zander is caught on a spinning rod. Although the ability to use float and bottom rods is also not excluded. But they are needed if bait acts as bait. But still fishing in October and September is interesting specifically for spinning and artificial baits.
Tackle for zander is going as follows. A quick-action spinning rod is taken with a length of approximately 2.5 to 3 meters. A good-quality inertialess coil is mounted on it. Pikeperch is a relatively small fish, although rare weighty specimens are found, and it does not have such aggressive resistance as a pike. So it makes no sense to acquire some kind of heavy duty coil. The line is set with a diameter of 0.2 mm. It is best to use a wicker. Monofilament fishing line should be avoided . It worsens the sensitivity of the bite, and thus the angler risks losing the moment for hooking fish. You need to put a leash only if the pike also lives in the pond. Pike perch very sharply cuts fishing line.
September night fishing for zander
Very interesting and active fishing for zander after sunset. Vibro-tails and twisters are used as bait. There are no particular preferences in their color. Pike perch equally reacts to both the luminous bait and the quite ordinary one. The quality of fishing here depends on the skills of the fisherman himself, on how he conducts the posting.
At night, you also need to choose the right place for fishing. In the dark, you don’t particularly walk along the coast, so changing the place will be difficult. In the fall, fishing for zander can also be done from a boat. As a good alternative, a recessed wobbler is suitable. It is carried out at the very bottom. Also remember that fishing at night is difficult if there is no elementary flashlight. Zander is not afraid of its glow. So this will not scare away the fish.
Little lures
Although September is a great time for fishing for zander, there are still times when the bite is inactive. For such cases, the fishermen have one trick in store. When a flock of pike perch sluggishly pulls a silicone bait or presses a wobbler to the bottom, but lacks it, you need to change the bait to a more intriguing and lively one. For this, miniature options are needed. Having fallen to the very bottom, they will certainly cause genuine interest in the predator. Even if he is lazy and sleepy. The small size makes the bait particularly attractive, it can be swallowed whole without difficulty. But here you need to know that zander, unlike pike, grabs the bait not so sharply. Therefore, after biting, a strong hook must necessarily follow.
October fishing is also very successful in most bodies of water. The predator is still active and spends the nights in search of prey. But this month, lull periods that can last for weeks are increasingly observed.
