Despite the fact that carp is a very cunning and cautious fish, it has always attracted anglers. When you see how a huge 10-15 kilogram fish jumps out of the water, shining with golden scales in the rays of the setting sun, one cannot remain indifferent. A simple observer will just look with an admiring glance, and a real fisherman will begin to prepare a fishing rod. But it is not so easy to catch a big carp, for this you need a special self-cutting tackle and knowledge of several rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing a place.
Examine the bottom. Carp loves to feed along the edge of the bottom slope, so use a loaded fishing line to explore the pond. Throw the load as far as possible and start reeling in the line. By the vibration transmitted along the line, it will be clear on which surface the load is moving. It is more convenient to inspect the bottom of the boat in this way. Once you've found the perfect casting spot, place a marker (bright float).
Step 2
Lure.
Make groundbait. To do this, use special dry mixes for carp sold in the store, or make them yourself. For bait, cereals from different cereals, compound feed, steamed grain are suitable. You also need to add flavors to it. The bait should be so thick that you can roll dense lumps out of it. Ideally, when hitting the bottom, they should disintegrate. The bait is thrown to the location of the marker and around it at 5-8 m. For convenience, use a special device - "rocket".
Step 3
Tackle preparation. Large carp can be caught using a self-locking (boilie) tackle. To do this, take a strong rod, no more than 3-3.5 m long. It must have rigidity for better long-range casting. Equip it with a spinning reel with a strong 0.35mm line and a streamlined lead weights between 80 and 100g.
Step 4
Attach a 10 to 20 cm long leash with a hook to the line. Further - the most important thing. To use the principle of self-locking tackle, you need to attach the bait (boilie) so that the hook is free. To do this, a little fishing line is left near the hook, on which the bait will be fixed (floating or sinking boilies). In the first case, the bait will not lie on the bottom, but will rise above it. This is very convenient if there is a lot of silt.
Step 5
Now the fish is fed, the tackle is collected, it's time to cast it. Make a sharp, strong jerk with the rod. The lead should fall into the water near the marker. Reel the line a little so that it stretches a little, and secure the rod. In order to find out about a bite, you need to install a signaling device. It can be a bell tied to the tip of the rod, but it is better to use an electronic signaling device that picks up even the slightest fluctuations in the line.
Step 6
After the alarm goes off, you need to make a sharp sweep and start to fish out the carp. This process can take a long time. But there is no need to rush. The carp must be tired, otherwise it will simply break the line or fall off, breaking the hook or pulling it out of the hook. At every opportunity, you need to pull the strong fish closer by reeling in the line. If the carp again makes a sharp jerk, then the line should be allowed to unwind, otherwise the tackle may not withstand, and you will have to start all over again.
Step 7
When the prey is pulled up to the shore, place a landing net under it and pull it ashore. It is much better if the landing net is already in the water in advance, and a large carp is brought to it. In this case, it is less likely that the fish will get scared and again rush into the depths of the reservoir. It is easier to do this with an assistant.
