Two to three weeks after the ice comes down and the sun really begins to warm the reservoirs – around the middle of April, an exciting, and most importantly, effective catch of carp begins. The peak of the bite of a crucian comes before spawning. Crucian actively eats gaining strength, because after spawning it will be sick for about two weeks and hardly wakes up to eat, so if you want really exciting fishing – do not miss the “zhora” period.
Crucian carp is one of the most common fish in our waters and its fishing is very exciting.
Crucian painfully transfers sharp changes in the weather. It does not matter whether it is rainy or sunny, the main thing is stability for several days. Although I was watching the picture when, after several weeks of heat, a thunderstorm suddenly began and it was in a thunderstorm that the crucian began to pick up so that it was possible to catch only one tackle — I simply did not have time for a few.
Where to catch a crucian?
Crucian lives in almost all waters. It prefers pits, silty bottom, dense vegetation. In the spring, the crucian carcass fits into the coastal zones with vegetation or snags, while during spawning the crucian rubs against reeds, snags and so on. It is in such places you need to look for Karasik.
Tackle and bait. The carp is caught on various tackles – starting with ordinary fishing rods and ending with baits and various homemade tackles. The most common tackles for catching spring carp are: fly fishing rod, plug fishing rod and feeder. All these gear are perfect for fishing. Fly and plug fishing rod is suitable for a person who likes to relax on fishing, feeder and a huge number of its varieties will suit fans of more active fishing.
How to catch a crucian?
During the period of active feeding the crucian takes almost everything. Bloodworm, worm, semolina, pearl barley, dough, bread, and when fishing on the feeder, the foam also fits perfectly – carp crucify perfectly on all these lures. The bite of a crucian usually begins after sunrise and ends by dinner, but still each body of water should be considered separately.
If you are going for fishing – for crucian, you definitely need to take several types of bait with you – crucian mood is very changeable, and if yesterday he took only barley, then today he can only peck at the worm. It is also necessary to lure the place of fishing, to feed the carp is almost impossible.
