It is better to catch bloodworms at this time. But no matter how well the fish was caught in April, there are still some disadvantages. These are spring bans on various types of fishing. In different water bodies, the timing of these prohibitions varies. An exception to the rule is usually some paid lakes.
What fish is caught in early April?
Most fishing enthusiasts consider April to be the most suitable month for catching many types of fish. This spring month is very convenient. The street is no longer cold, but also not hot, and the ever-disturbing algae did not have time to grow throughout the pond. At the very beginning of April, as soon as the ice came down, the fish is very hungry. The reason for this is not only a long wintering, but also the upcoming spawning. Speaking about what kind of fish is caught in April in the Moscow Region in the first half of the month, we should mention primarily roach, as well as dace, bream and crucian carp. All of them stray in flocks, which is why they provide regular bites. The main thing is to find these flocks.

As the water warms up already stronger. What kind of fish is caught at the end of April? First of all, this is pike, as well as zander. The predator is hungry enough. That is why a good bite will be provided not only on live bait, but also on any artificial bait. Do not forget about the perch. At this time, he comes close to the shore, but still does not climb to where the depth is less than one meter. All that can affect the behavior of fish is weather conditions.

Pike perch fishing
What fish is caught in mid-April? In addition to all of the above, zander begins to peck at this time. Why in the middle?
In the first half of the month this fish does not come close to the shore, which means that it is quite difficult to catch it. If you nevertheless chose zander as your target, then it is not enough to know when to catch it. You still need to know where. Choose places with slower flow and great depth, even near the coast. Most often this happens in the place where the river turns and changes its direction. An important point is also the presence of an uneven bottom and snags. The bait should be small and narrow-bodied. In April, large specimens are often caught (up to five kilograms).
Pike fishing
What kind of fish is caught in late April - early May? This is a hungry pike. Of course, it is possible to catch it at the beginning of the month. But this is somewhat difficult. Since the water has not warmed up yet, and the fish sits in a hole. These holes are located deeply, but not far from shallow water. There, the pike feeds on fry. If you catch a predator on live bait, then you need to lower it a little deeper than half the water. For this purpose, bleak or roach is perfect. The size of live bait should range from five to ten centimeters. If, when biting, the fishing line suddenly stopped, then most likely you came across a small pike. Here it is better not to rush and, before hooking, give the fish ten seconds to swallow the bait. If the fishing line is removed without stopping, then the specimen is large enough and you can not hesitate. You can also use artificial baits, but fishing for live bait is still more effective.

The most important thing is to add to the bait that bait that you are going to use.
Catching perch
In April, perch is very gluttonous. Getting out of the pits in which he spent the winter, the perch moves closer to the shore in search of a delicious fry. However, it should be remembered that small representatives still hunt near the shore. If your goal is a larger fish, then the bait should be thrown at least five meters from the shoreline. Best in April, perch is caught using spinning and medium-sized lures. The most used is considered to be a spinner of a small size, having a silver-gray color. Also a good result is achieved using a wobbler. If you plan on fishing for live bait, then use small fish. A good result is the use of a donkey equipped with a rubber shock absorber. If the bite of a perch is good, then even three fish can be pulled out at a time. In this case, both a worm and a fry can be used as bait.
Fishing for bream and crucian carp
Which fish is caught in April in addition to the above? Many fishermen believe that April is the best month for catching bream. And donka was recognized as the best tackle in this period. Especially she is able to help out in bad weather. For bait, maggots or bloodworms are chosen. Sometimes they are successfully combined. When fishing for bream, bait is indispensable. For this purpose, you can even use regular millet porridge. To keep the fish in the right place, you need to roll balls from the bait and throw them into the water every three hours.
As for crucian carp and carp, they are usually caught in paid reservoirs. Their biting is highly dependent on weather conditions. The hotter the day, the better the fish bite. Catch her on the donkey or float tackle. As bait take corn, worm or dough. It should be noted that carp is better caught in the morning and in the evening, while crucian bites in the daytime.
