Not only the place of fishing and the quality of equipment affects the amount of catch (although this is certainly important), but also the days on which you are going to go fishing. Every self-respecting angler knows that a good nibble depends on the weather, season, and also the phase of the moon. Based on all these indicators and forecasts, they make up a calendar in which the most favorable days for fishing are marked. In this article we will analyze the months of summer.
How to understand that the day is favorable for fishing?
To understand this, you should pay attention to certain indicators:
- Weather. In summer, it is worthwhile to focus on cloudy, rainy, but calm weather. The fish goes to deep water due to an increase in the temperature of the atmosphere and water, so it is recommended to sail as far as possible from the shore and catch in the evening, or until sunrise, when the fish is looking for food. In clear water it is best to use thin fishing lines that cannot be seen.
- Wind direction. Warm winds (south and west) will bring a good bite, the rest cause a cooling. For example, hoping for a catch of perch or carp is not at all worthwhile, since these fish are thermophilic. But with the strengthening of the north and east winds, the nibble of cold-loving fish will increase.
- Atmosphere pressure. With its increase, the fish becomes lazy and scattered, completely disoriented in space. However, it is worth hunting for predator fish precisely during a period of slightly increased pressure, to go out to smaller fish when it is lowered.
Let us analyze the dependence of fish behavior on the moon phase:
- New moon. The most unfavorable days. Biting in this phase is not observed at all. You should not go fishing at this time.
- The growing moon marks favorable days for fishing - large fish peck, and this, of course, is a guarantee of a good mood and a delicious lunch.
- Full moon. Mostly just a trifle comes across a bait. Scientists have noticed that the moon during this period has a special effect on the emotional state of both humans and animals.
- Waning. Like the new moon, it is an unfavorable phase for fishing.
Nibble also depends on the activity of the latter, the maximum peak of which is observed in the period after sunrise and before sunset, at the time of feeding the fish.
June fishing
In the first month of summer, the temperature in the atmosphere rises, as well as in water bodies. In this still not the hottest period, the fish is most active due to increased appetite, and its fishing is allowed in unlimited quantities.
And also at this time, the fish comes closest to the shore. Early in the morning you can catch a pike and perch on a bait fish, and in the late evening pike perch can be caught on a shallow bait like an earthworm.
White fish will rise to the surface behind the feed, at the bottom you can find bream, catfish and carp, they hide in pits under water. It is best to catch bream on crab meat.
In a mild and moderate course it is easy to catch roach, rudd and pike. And in cloudy weather and carp. Crucian pecks well on bread crumb. Now let's talk about what days are favorable for fishing in June.
Numbers with the best cool:
Satisfactory bite:
- 8-11;
- 21-23;
- fifteen;
- 28-30.
Absolutely unimportant catch:
In June, fish are caught well even on the most ordinary spinning. You can read about professional fishing equipment below.
July fishing
This is the hottest month of the summer. The fish is less active and goes to the bottom, away from the coast in search of coolness.
In order not to leave empty-handed, fishermen should throw their fishing rods in the early morning, until 6 o’clock, or late at night, after 22. Since at this time the fish goes out to seek food. In order to find food for itself, the fish is in endless movement.
During this period, the most successful fishing will go to catfish, to a quack, near underwater pits, and it is easier to catch pike perch from a boat, using a spinner in places of rapid flow. And next to dense vegetation and reeds prey will be pikes and perches. During this hot time, heat-loving crucian carp becomes active; it can be caught both on maggots and on vegetable bait.
Let's move on to favorable days for fishing in July:
Satisfactory bite:
Bad catch or its complete absence:
How to catch more fish in this hot period?
Catch the maximum number of fish will help you:
- Bite activator. Attracts fish due to pheromones in the composition, in the hot and cold season, stimulating its appetite.
- Sensitive gear.
- Bait with a small proportion of pheromones.
The choice is yours.
August fishing
This month is called the crown of summer fishing. Water begins to cool, and the vegetation is still plentiful. A good bite is shown by more heat-loving fish. Worse bite tench, crucian carp, catfish and eel. The rudd goes to the bottom, but with the advent of the green locust, it rises to the surface of the water along with the chub and the ide. Carps, carp, bream, roach - all these fish perfectly take the bait in their mouths. Such predators as pike, perch and asp, also show a good bite in August. Do not wait for fish such as tench, crucian carp and eel.
Here are some more fishing days:
When the nibble is noticeably reduced:
- 1-7;
- 14-18;
- On August 8 and 21, it is better not to go fishing, you will leave empty-handed, and nerve cells will not be restored.
Do not forget that in August the nights are colder, so the fish become less active, and such as catfish will soon go to sleep. The best fishing spots in Russia in August: Volga, Don, Ural, Kuban.
As for bait, locusts are suitable for small fish. If you want something larger, you should buy pheromones and more sensitive gear. By the way, regarding the former, they want to ban their sale in Russia, so it is worth looking for an alternative. For example, a bait based on them is suitable.
What do you need to get from fishing gear?
Necessarily a backpack. It should contain many pockets that need to be wisely used, several compartments, strong locks. Choose a fairly voluminous to accommodate all the necessary things for a trip and overnight. The fabric should ideally be water repellent and stiff.
Also purchase a fishing rod tube. Convenient case in which they will be safe. Take care of the fishing equipment, which consists of comfortable clothes, high rubber boots that are not soaked in water, a warm jacket for night fishing and light for daytime. And also do not forget about the T-shirt and shorts made of natural fabrics.
