Herring is a sea fish, but it enters rivers for spawning, especially its large flocks in late spring attract fishermen to the mouths of the Volga and Don. Accordingly, river herring is of two types: Black Sea and Caspian. The movement of herring to the sources of the rivers coincides with the level of flood waters, and when it decreases, it begins to arrive. The period for catching herring begins in March, when it spawns, and can continue until November.
Instructions
Step 1
Catching herring on the tackle used by the grandfathers - podpuski (on the Volga), coastlines (on Akhtuba) and various rubber bands equipped with several dozen spinners, is considered poaching, so now fishing for herring is allowed only for spinning, bottom and float rods. When fishing, fishing line 0, 5, herring spoons and lead sinkers are used. Spinning is permitted only under a license.
Step 2
It is better to catch it for spinning from a boat moored 100 meters from the shore. When choosing a spinning rod, do not get carried away with its price; for catching herring, the cheapest aluminum one will be most suitable. It is durable and has the rigidity necessary for hooking and playing herring. Use an inertial coil. If you fish from the shore, try to throw the load with a spoon as far as possible. In this case, it is better to use a two-handed spinning rod with a good reel and thinner line.
Step 3
Those fishermen who catch herring from boats have an advantage over those who stand on the shore. Depending on the fishing conditions, they can additionally use other tackle - bottom or float rods. In addition, using a boat, you can choose the most productive place and increase the number of fish caught several times.
Step 4
Herring spoons are small, light and oblong spoons, into which hooks No. 7-9 are soldered. To attach the fishing line, it is better to solder a ring. For herring lures, you can also use ready-made petals from spinning lures "Comet" or similar. The lures are attached with a leash below the sinker. The length of the leash must be sufficient, at least half a meter. Due to the long lead, the tackle can often get tangled when casting, so use a wire frame.
Step 5
Depending on the location of the move, the herring can walk in continuous shoals or in separate individuals. She loves fine, clear days, accompanied by prolonged southerly winds.
