Features of catching pike and perch in the Volga delta
It's no secret that the pike is, along with the snapper, one of the most common predatory fish in Russia. This fish can reach a very impressive size and can not be called cautious fish that allows even novice hope to catch decent copies. Pike on the picky and the means of fishing, there are many, that also increases the chances of a novice angler-catch is it is much more fastidious than the predators of our reservoirs. It is also worth noting that pike fishing is in itself very excitedly - in our country there will be a little fish with such fighting spirit, like a pike. I have long studied the nature of this fish in the scenic spots that are located in the lower reaches of the Volga River and determined that fishing in the Astrakhan in our time gives a comprehensive picture of the habits and peculiarities of this fish.
Pike hunt as fry in the shallows, and in depth. Fisherman should represent himself look like his bait under the water, as they cast, as they are immersed in water and how to "work". Under the "bait" if we can speak about flash, and even an ordinary worm, it is no secret that quite often you can catch pike on worms, especially in the spring. When fishing for pike fry usually use strong enough rod, given the nature of the beast, and as a metal leash, because pike eat wood of any thickness not be easy. At night you can put the so-called "жерлицы", which can be regarded as a device exclusively for the domestic catch.
General, fishing in the Volga Delta has its own specifics, but it is a separate conversation.
Among the predatory fish found in our freshwater pools in the lower reaches of the Volga is also common perch, which is different in that it is primarily gregarious predatory fish, the leading daily lifestyle. The average size of these fish in the coastal fishing usually does not exceed 200-300 grams, although at the Volga I managed to pull out on streets and polukilogrammovye copies.
Methods for catching redfish on a fishing rod is very diverse - a float rod and fishing from shore with beguchey deaf and rigging, fishing from a boat, vzabrodku with swamp, among the flooded bushes and in thickets of aquatic plants, running on the way to the nozzle, floating downstream, with coachmen.
In the spring, an extension is used, the earthworm, skiff, in the summer - bark beetles, earthworms, larvae of dragonflies, oparysha, small live bait, leeches, in the autumn - the earthworm, small live bait, fish, dragonfly larvae, pieces of fish, fish eye, and even eel.
It is important to note that the perch are not afraid, and drew a light tapping of weak waves on board the boat. Poklevku perch makes bold, immediately immersing the float under water. It was at this moment and need to do sweeps. Although often perch swallows the bait deep and pull it out of the water is not too difficult. When fishing in those waters where there are no other predators than perch typically used Okuneva tackle. It often happens that in the field perch fishing pike. In this case, the absence of a metal leash, fine tackle lead to breakage of line. To avoid such oddities, I would suggest using monofilament 0.24 and soft metal leash.
Spinning. Going for perch or pike, it is desirable to have a spinning 1,80-2,50 meters in length with a soft sensitive tip, which allows better control the behavior of baits in the water and produce a soft sweeps. Most suitable for this purpose are Spinning rods of carbon fiber. They are quite light, strong, practical, and can cast light lures a long distance. The optimum line diameter 0,20-0,25 mm.
If you catch the cold water, the greater effect will slow the bait, but if the depth is 4-5 meters, it is better to abandon light lures that sink to the bottom very slowly. It almost does not affect the number poklevok perch, but gives the opportunity to take and pike. Practice shows that in large bodies of water perch rarely goes to the coastal zone. Typical of its habitat in the reservoirs - the rocky ridges, jagged piles along the old river-beds, interspersed koryazhnikom adjacent to the islands of deep-water areas.
I hope these tips will help you enjoy real Russian fishing and return home with a catch.
