When crucian carp bites better - conditions for better biting

In order for fishing for crucian carp to be successful, you should know all the intricacies of its bite. This article will consider in detail what factors affect the biting of crucian carp, in which season it is better caught, how to increase the activity of this fish, and much more.

What determines the bite of crucian carp

Crucian carp bite mainly depends on the following factors:

  • Season.
  • Weather.
  • Catch time.
  • Atmosphere pressure.
  • Temperature.
  • Place of catch.
  • Tackle and bait used.

Change in bite depending on the season

  1. The first bite of crucian carp begins in March, when the ice melts and the water warms up a little. In April and May, the activity of this fish is changeable, and it bites mainly only on baits of animal origin. The most catchy places in spring are shallow water areas, which are illuminated by the sun during the day.
  2. The best season for catching crucian carp is considered to be the summer period, namely June and July, when this fish has already spawned and will gorge on fat to gain strength. It is best to catch crucian carp in summer in well-fed places.
  3. In autumn, the activity of crucian carp gradually subsides and it is quite difficult to catch it at the end of November.
  4. In the winter season, crucian carp bites are absent, since it lies in deep underwater pits until the first spring warmth.

Conditions for the best bite

Depending on the time of day, the crucian carp bite has the following changes:

  1. Morning is a golden time for catching crucian carp, because it is during dawn that he goes out to feed and happily bites on the bait offered to him.
  2. During the day, the activity of this fish subsides, and only during lunch are lone bites of fish possible.
  3. In the evening, the activity of the crucian carp increases again, especially just before sunset.
  4. At night, crucian carp rarely bites, but it is at night that you can catch a really large individual of this species (about two and a half kilograms, which is considered an excellent indicator for crucian carp).

Depending on weather conditions, the bite of the crucian carp changes in this way:

  1. During precipitation in the form of a light rain (not a thunderstorm), the biting of the crucian carp usually intensifies, since more air enters the water and various food in the form of insects will fall from the trees, which the crucian will never refuse.
  2. If the weather is too hot and sunny, then crucian carp prefers to get deep from the heat and is caught worse. This should be taken into account when catching it.
  3. Crucian carp is excellently caught in cloudy weather, when large clouds gather.
  4. A small wind is favorable for catching crucian carp (up to ten meters per second). You should be aware that in a large and gusty wind, the nibble of the crucian carp, as a rule, is not very active.

Depending on changes in atmospheric pressure, the nibble of a crucian carp changes as follows:

  1. Since crucian carp is very susceptible and susceptible to even small pressure drops, even minor jumps in such an indicator can significantly affect the activity of its biting. This is due to the fact that the pressure inside the swim bladder that each fish has must correspond to the external pressure and the pressure of the water column.
  2. With a sharp increase in pressure, crucian carp immediately rises to the upper layers of reservoirs and stops pecking even at its favorite worms or maggots. At this time, the fish is in a sleepy state, from which nothing can wake it up. Only after the pressure normalizes, the crucian carp returns to its usual course.
  3. Lowering the pressure also negatively affects the crucian carp, but with it, on the contrary, he goes to depth, because he wants to equalize the pressure emanating from the outside with his own. During such a period, crucian carp can bite, but only at depth, so the tackle should be thrown to a depth.

Depending on the temperature, the nibble of the crucian carp changes in this way:

  1. At high air temperatures, the nibble of crucian carp is very weak, since the water in the reservoirs warms up strongly, and the fish goes to a depth.
  2. The best temperature for catching crucian carp is considered to be from fourteen to eighteen degrees. If the temperature is lower, the crucian carp, like a heat-loving fish, will immediately stop pecking.

The best places to catch crucian carp are:

  1. Areas of reservoirs where water lilies, water lilies and egg capsules grow, at a depth of two to four meters.
  2. Areas near flooded trees and reeds.
  3. Places of water bodies, under steep banks and in shallow waters (in spring).

How to catch more?

For 7 years of active hobby for fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

  1. Bite activator... This pheromone supplement attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. ...
  2. Enhancement the sensitivity of the tackle. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific tackle type.
  3. Baits based on pheromones.

Dependence of the bite on the tackle and bait used

The most common tackle for catching crucian carp are bottom tackle and conventional float rods. Both of these gear can be used in spring, summer and fall.

For fishing with a float rod, you should use a rigid rod that will not bend when you hook the fish. In addition to it, you can also use and. The fishing line for such a rod should be strong in diameter from 0.15 to 0.19 mm. Hooks should be selected according to the size of the fish. The standard size is numbers from the eighth to the tenth.

The best baits to use on your float rod include:

  1. Worms, bloodworms, maggot. Such nozzles should be used in autumn and summer, when the crucian carp biting is quite active. In addition to them, you can also use various small caterpillars and insect larvae. Crucian carp will also not give up on them.
  2. Flies, small bugs and dragonflies are also excellent animal baits for catching crucian carp. It is recommended to use them in late summer and early autumn, when such delicacies fall from the trees, and the crucian carp gets used to eating such food.
  3. Corn, peas, pumpkin seeds and various cereals are indispensable bait for crucian carp that can be used in any season (except winter). In addition, from these ingredients, you can prepare bait mixtures, successfully combining them with baits of animal origin.
  4. Garlic is excellent natural for crucian carp and should not be neglected especially in poor bites. Due to its persistent aroma, garlic successfully attracts not only crucian carp, but also other types of fish.

In addition, you should know that crucian carp in different bodies of water can react differently to a particular bait, so the fisherman should always have several different types of bait in stock at once so that, if necessary, he can replace them with others.

Also, the fisherman should not be afraid to experiment with baits in order to attract the attention of the crucian carp. For example, the so-called corn and worm sandwiches, or their barley and bloodworms, are very effective baits. Such combined baits will be able to please even the most fastidious crucian carp, since they contain vegetable and animal baits at the same time.

If you decide to catch crucian carp with a bottom tackle that you should purchase a rod with a length of two and a half to three meters, which will have a sensitive tip. It will serve as a signaling device for the biting of crucian carp. In addition, you should choose a powerful reel with a spool size from 2500 to 3000. As a feeder for crucian carp, a feeder in the form of a cylinder or a triangle with a low weight is perfect.

It is recommended to use a mixture of cereals with the addition of chopped worms or bloodworms as bait for donkey carp, which will give the bait a more attractive aroma and appearance.
Carp should be caught with a donkey in those periods when he does not want to swim to the surface of the reservoir and prefers to be at the bottom.

Why does not bite and how to improve bite

Crucian carp bite can worsen for the following reasons:

  1. The water is too cloudy. This is a common problem faced by fishermen. Crucian carp cannot see dim bait in such water, so there is practically no bite. In this case, you should replace the bait with a brighter one or paint it in food coloring, giving the bait a pronounced color.
  2. The line is very thick. Usually, if the fishing line has a large diameter, then it can be seen by a crucian carp and scare him away. In this case, the fishing line should be replaced with a thinner and transparent one, which the crucian cannot calculate as dangerous.
  3. The place of catch was chosen incorrectly. It is easy to determine when all the tackle and attachments are in order, and there was no bite and there was no bite. The fact is that the place where the crucian carp is caught must meet several criteria at once:
    • The water level in the reservoir should be medium to high. If there is too little water, then the crucian simply will not swim in shallow water.
    • Having a good current. Crucian carp will not dwell in completely stagnant water, so this should be taken into account when choosing a fishing spot.
  4. The water is too cold. This happens when fishing in early spring or late autumn, when the air and water temperature is low, and the crucian carp goes to the bottom and does not want to rise even to the middle of the reservoir. In this case, it is recommended to change the fishing tactics and tackle. You should use bottom tackle instead of float tackle and fish exclusively on warm days when the sun is shining well.
  1. Catching crucian carp will not be so effective if the fisherman does not feed the fishing spot with porridge or other bait mixture in advance.
  2. If the crucian carp is caught at night, you should use floats that have shiny blotches.
  3. Carp should be fished out quickly so that, with resistance, this fish cannot escape from the hook.
