Every fisherman knows that there are no clear food preferences for fish from the same family. Each variety bites differently on different bait. Bream is no exception. This fish belongs to the family of cyprinids. The silver color of young individuals changes with age: the sides of old bream turn brownish-golden, and the belly turns yellow.
The record-breaking catch of bream took place in Finland (Lake Vesijärvi) in 1912. The length of this bream was about 80 cm, and weight - about 11.55 kg.
In the cities of Russia, each species of bream is called in its own way - depending on the size and appearance. For example, young bream are called "scammers", "loskiry", "chebak". More recently, bream fish combined about 16 species, such as breeding, raw, white-eyed, blue, sop and others. Now almost every variety of bream (of those named) is considered a separate species. The bream begins to spawn in mid-April (in some places - in early May). One female is able to lay about 300,000 eggs. During this period, fishing for bream is strictly forbidden!
Features of fishing in different seasons
Many fishermen believe that spring is an ideal time for fishing. During this period, the fish forms large schools and comes closer to the coast. Tackles for bream fishing also vary by season: for example, in the spring you can successfully catch it with a fishing rod near the shore, in winter it is caught at great depths and from the bottom. The most favorite delicacy of the bream is a “sandwich” (bloodworm and pearl barley). There is one feature: any species of bream is caught in a well-fed place. If the feed at the bottom ends, do not wait for the fish to stand here for a couple of hours - this is not so.
It is noticed that a flock of bream can return to the place where they once had a good meal, so you should catch in the same place. Extreme heat can cause a lack of bite. No, even the most “sophisticated” gear for bream will not affect the results of fishing in excessively hot times of the day.
What bait should be used
The bream is not finicky fish, therefore, as a bait, you can use any boiled cereal, adding to it cake, grated sunflower seeds or canola. Also, the addition of milk powder or industrial mixtures will not be superfluous. To try to keep one or another species of bream in the necessary zone for as long as possible, you can use clay as a filler, which will induce turbidity, creating the illusion of a place rich in food.
Recommended
prepare bait at the place of fishing. If you are going to catch large fish, you need to feed the place in the evening. Small fish sleep, so the chance of catching a large individual increases. The bream, like any fish, is very careful, any glare of a flashlight or a shadow that has passed can easily frighten it away, and for a long time.
The Most Effective Bream Bait
The most popular nozzles, probably, will forever remain a worm, bloodworms, pearl barley, maggot, decoy chatterbox, all kinds of boilies and corn. In the winter, fishing for bream is done on bloodworms, as it has an attractive bright red color and constantly moves. Good luck fishing!
