Fishing in the spring is most successful in late April - early May. Over the winter, this fish wastes almost all of its strength and therefore is rapidly trying to make up for them. After all, she has the most important stage ahead of her - the spawning period, during which the crucians need even more energy.
Therefore, in this relatively short period of time, from melting ice to the beginning of spawning, the fish feeds intensely, and catching crucian carp in the
early spring is especially productive.
Anglers call this time "pre-spawning zhor." It lasts a maximum of three weeks, the start time of which depends on weather conditions and the region where the fish live.
The sooner the ice melts, the earlier the crucian is activated. Therefore, the main task of anglers is to find the moment when the crucian in a row grabs everything around, even a bare hook. Then fishing in the spring will be successful. However, with the beginning of cherry blossoms, this paradise for the fisherman will end, and he can reel fishing rods or switch to other fish.
Crucian carp, being a sedentary fish, prefers to keep a constant place, and in the spring months it keeps close to the shore, where there is more food and warmer water. Sometimes it stops in narrow channels, in shallows or in thickets of reeds, where heating is faster.
Fishing for crucian carp in the spring involves reliable and durable gear, so that if they cling to snags or any aquatic vegetation, don’t sacrifice equipment. Indeed, at the coastline, from which this fish tries not to depart, there are a lot of such obstacles.
Therefore, at this time fishing for crucian carp is optimal. Moreover, match rods, in which the length does not exceed five meters, are considered the most suitable. At the same time, they should be light and fast, so as not to give the owner additional trouble.
The best nibble is observed in the evening after sunset, although in clear and sunny weather karasik will be caught all day. The activity of this fish decreases when cloudy and windy days are set, especially if they last a long time.
Karas can be found very easily. During its spring pre-spawning zhor, this fish digs very actively in the silt, which is why dregs or air bubbles rise from the bottom. With the naked eye, you can also notice it by the fluctuation of the reeds, reeds.
Fishing in the spring will be much more effective if you feed the fish a little. Of course, during this period she is very hungry and can be caught in sufficient quantities without feeding, but only when the fisherman has chosen the right place, and weather conditions contribute to this fully.
Therefore, in order to be sure of frequent bite, it is better to feed the fish. And it’s not at all important that complementary foods are satisfying; the main thing is that it attract fish with its aroma. This can be breadcrumbs, chopped cookies, semolina, etc.
Crucian fish best pecks at bloodworms or common worms, but experienced anglers recommend trying something new each time.
They say that this fish doesn’t even like far from fish dishes - pastille.
