The bait can be fish species such as ruff, gudgeon, bleak or perch. Which one to choose depends on the predatory fish you want to catch. For fishing in winter, fish up to 10 cm will be preferable.
Instructions
Step 1
For effective fishing, you need to find out your favorite live bait habitats. Zhivtsov can be found near the coast. The fish can also be found near flooded trees and reeds. She can also fatten at the underwater tables, which are located in the middle of the reservoir. Gudgeon, for example, in winter can be easily caught in small pools that are in the selected reservoir. Remember the fact that live bait for fishing needs to be caught in the same body of water as future prey. Take some time for this activity, and a good catch will not keep you waiting long. Choose reservoirs where there is no infection of fish with parasites - worms. Fishermen noticed that pike does not swallow infected live bait.
Step 2
To catch live bait, use a line with a diameter of up to 0.08 cm. The fishing rod should be with small jigs. They should have sharp and thin black hooks. Place a small bloodworm on the hooks. Use semolina as a bait. When catching a fish, move the rod slowly, as if you were playing. This tactic is necessary for the prey to take a good look at the bait and peck. It is also necessary to take care that several fishing rods are prepared, since in severe frosts it will be inconvenient to put new jigs, or change them.
Step 3
In winter, keep live bait in ice holes when fishing for predatory fish. Make them in ice, but note that they should not have a through hole in the ice. Otherwise, the live bait may go away. Do not leave fish in such a cage for a long time, or overnight, because if the hole is poorly covered, the live bait can be eaten by predators. Wrap the container in which you will transport live bait with insulation on the outside. To do this, use paper, cloth, etc. Live bait is taken out with a net before fishing. When fishing with live bait, do not hold the bait in your hands for a long time, since a predatory fish can hear a foreign smell and not go to the hook.
