Step 1
Fishing with live bait is a fascinating activity, but rather difficult, requiring knowledge of its intricacies and thoroughly prepared tackle. The place for fishing should be chosen in accordance with the characteristics of this type of fishing. This process is effective, and any fisherman, once having mastered its rules, will always prefer it. Moreover, in this way it is much easier to catch large predatory fish: carp, pike, perch, etc.
Step 2
However, live bait fishing is not effective in every season of the year. Experienced anglers try to use this method at a time when frost is approaching. During this period, small fish hides in secluded places, and predators do not have enough food. Therefore, live bait fishing at this time gives excellent results. But the question arises: where in late autumn to get such a bait? Fishermen, as a rule, try to catch it in a warmer body of water or buy it in specialized stores that sell live fish.
Step 3
You can use absolutely any small fish as bait. But the best are considered the fry of perch, crucian carp, roach, chub, bleak, gudgeon. Experienced fishermen have special equipment for catching live bait, called "scarecrow" or "spider". Before "casting a spider", it is advisable to feed the place, that is, to scatter the bait in the form of boiled pearl barley, bread, etc. over the water. Everything that ends up in it will serve as bait for large fish. However, live bait must be able not only to catch, but also to save. For this, a special container is intended - kana.
Step 4
When fishing with live bait, it is important to correctly attach it to the hook, the size of which should be such that the fish moves freely in the water. There are three options for fitting: behind the head, tail and back. In the latter case, the hook should not touch the spine of the fish, otherwise it may die. If it is put on the tail, it is pre-tied with a thin fabric tape or strong thread, for which the hook is hooked.
Step 5
The best bite on live bait occurs during dusk or dawn. Sometimes a predator experiences severe hunger around 12-14 pm, but this largely depends on the temperature of the water and other conditions, so you should not hope for this sign. The place for fishing should be chosen based on the behavior and preferences of predatory fish. For example, the pike prefers to stay near the bottom among the grass and snags. Perch loves reeds and standing water. Pike perch - snags and underwater pits. Such places should be chosen. All that remains is to cast the rod and wait for the predator to spot the fish.
