Pikeperch fishing in autumn can begin from the first of September. During this period, it is best to go
fishing at night, when extraneous noise subsides, and you can enjoy a "quiet hunt."
Not everyone knows that in the fall fishing for zander is most effective for jigging. Since September, the fish moves to wintering places. Usually these are the deepest areas in the pond, so the use of jig baits is more relevant than ever.
With the onset of October, zander begins to show increased activity in the search for food. This is the longest time zhor, lasting almost a month. However, these days are enough to catch zander in the fall into the most catchy season. Inveterate anglers consider October the most successful for catching large trophies.
Towards the end of November, the nibble begins to gradually subside, however, even quite large individuals can be caught at this time. Most not very experienced fishermen, rejoicing in the October “harvest”, twist fishing rods until spring, thereby missing the opportunity to catch large zander. Depending on the weather, atmospheric pressure and the presence of wind, the fish goes out in search of food, sometimes approaching the coast itself, where it becomes the prey of the fisherman.
Catching pike perch in the fall to the Donka involves the simultaneous use of several gear at once. For success, fishing rods are placed either all on the same spot, or in pairs, be sure to maintain the angle between them in the direction of casting for unhindered hooking and fishing of zander.
At the same time, however, there is a great risk of overlapping or tangling gear, so the successful catch of pike perch in the fall from the coast is very much dependent on the skill and experience of the fisherman.
The main thing is not to hook the bait. Therefore, many prefer to fish with non-hooking equipment, regardless of how the fish are caught: from the shore or by water.
The gear should be sensitive not only to the catchy area, but also to the behavior of the bait when it touches the bottom. Pike perch most often pecks in the fall, with a pause in the winding of the fishing line during the direction of the bait to the bottom. Sometimes he just presses it, so it is extremely difficult for a fisherman to catch the moment of bite. However, most often, such cases mean that it was a large fish that caught the hook . Therefore, at this moment, it is necessary to carry out a powerful lightning fast cutting without delay, in order to catch the mouth of the fish in time. If you delay, then the bite may be missed.
Therefore, experienced anglers, for whom fishing in the fall is already common, consider jig the most effective bait. The advantages of jig spinning are the possibility of “tapping” the bottom to detect differences, recesses or elevations, so that fishing becomes not unsystematic, but focused.
In general, lures for autumn fishing of pike perch are practically no different from summer ones, but there are still some fishing features. And the main ones are hydroacoustic vibrations that occur when the bait is wired in water. In this case, hard river rubber is most suitable.
Speed is also important for posting the bait. If the fisherman did not have time for the autumn zhor, then the speed for a pike perch who does not want to chase the bait should be extremely low.
And yet, despite all the subtleties, the autumn fishing of this fish was and always remains a very exciting activity. It is so nice to catch this not only beautiful, but also very tasty fish.
