Carp is a domesticated form of carp, which is one of the fattest and most delicious freshwater fish. Fishing for carp has its own tricks and nuances. In winter (when the water temperature drops to 10 ° C), carps are found at medium depths, avoiding the shores. As for the weather, it is impossible to say for sure where at a certain time and in a certain weather it can be caught. This is determined only empirically.
Instructions
Step 1
Go ahead. Chances of catching carp in winter decrease in direct proportion to lower temperatures. The winter biting periods are short (about 20 minutes). But during the thaw and especially closer to its end, the periods of the first and also the last ice, the carp revives and can remain active even for hours.
Step 2
For winter carp fishing, winter float rods are used, as well as rods with rings, which allow you to use a multiplier or spinning reel for good shock absorption of fish jerks. However, the latter are not very convenient at negative temperatures.
Step 3
The optimal thickness of the line is 0.2-0.25 mm, the braided cord - 0.04-0.06 mm. The line should be taut, and also connected to the bite alarm in case of fishing without a float. With hooks, too, everything is simple. For carp, hooks No. 8-No. 12 (according to the international classification) are best suited.
Step 4
If the weather is warm enough, use a small float with a diameter of 35-40 mm, such as "wagler" or sliding. In cold weather, it is better to use a flat float-tablet. It is desirable that its upper end is 1 cm below the surface of the water. If there is a danger that the line may freeze, it is better to get a removable float, which, if necessary, can be easily unhooked immediately after the hook. The float color is bright yellow, snow white with a red or black top.
Step 5
Now about the baits. For winter carp fishing, you can use a bunch of bloodworms. Although its disadvantage is that little things often peck at bloodworms. You can also use maggots, worms, potato pieces, bread crusts, pearl barley, green peas, canned corn. You can also fish carp with a jig or spoon.
Step 6
In winter, carp bite rather sluggishly. Sometimes it’s hard to notice a bite, without worrying about the hook. At this time, the float twitches weakly in the hole or makes unhurried ups and downs by 1-2 cm. The fish should be hooked just during such twitches. It makes no sense to wait for jerks of greater strength - you can not wait.
Step 7
Many anglers make a "firefly" as a bite signal. It is fixed on the line and does not impair the sensitivity of the tackle.
