Pike fishing in spring

Pike can be found in almost all ourwater reservoirs. This fish grows to a fairly large size and can have a decent weight: copies of 5-6 kg - a common thing, but sometimes you can stumble upon a specimen longer than a meter and a half weighing up to 24 kg.

Rapid water predator does not attract, and so it always goes to spawn in quiet, calm backwaters.

At the end of March and April, when the water warms upup to 6 degrees, the pike leaves to spawn, descending to a depth of 1 meter. And it is quite natural that after this the fish need to regain its strength, so it begins to feed intensively.

Pike fishing in the spring is, perhaps, one of thethe most prey for the entire period of open water. The first decade of March is ideal for replenishing its trophy collection of these predators. Moreover, this period is characterized not by one active zhor: during this time it is possible to catch large enough trophy pikes, for catching which in summer it is necessary to work hard.

Since the first days of March, not paying attention to even thepresence of ice, pike goes to feed. It rushes literally at everything: on wobblers, vibro-worms, twisters, foam rubber, turntables, live fish and ripples, etc.

It is best to catch pike in spring in quiet andwarm, but cloudy days, when dark clouds tighten the entire sky, and it seems that they are about to be born of a torrent of torrents, but for some reason this does not happen. Around quietly and calmly, nature awaits a storm. These days are the ideal time for pike fishing to leave the hunter without a catch in the spring.

Spring season zhora, unfortunatelyfishermen, is short-lived, and by the very beginning of April the pike will be attracted to spawn from everywhere. Although after the biting is resumed, but this is a completely different pike, more apathetic and sluggish, which only in sunny weather will show the fisherman something remotely similar to the fire before spawning. But from the beginning of March the fish is again activated.

In spring, pike fishing, as a rule, begins withdawn and continues until the very dawn comes. At this time, it is preferable to look for in the spawning grounds, since immediately after all the eggs are laid by the female, she has to spend more time next to her masonry. After all, perch and even roach do not bend to taste fresh pike caviar, even risking to get directly into the pike mouth.

In addition to those places where the pike spawns itself, it can also be caught in shallow water at the spawning grounds of crucian carp, perch and roach.

Since the females at this time already bear the eggs,this can not but affect their dietary preferences: the predator at this time does not rush to a relatively large fish. Therefore, pike fishing in the spring assumes an exceptionally small bait: three- or five-centimeter wobblers, the same twisters, lures and vibros.

In this case, despite the active biting and still rather cold weather, the fisherman should not try to catch this predator with winter gear, especially - donka.

One of the most common waysthe catch of this fish is pike fishing on the jiggers, the device of which is known to every angler: this is a regular flyer with a string wound around it, and a hook on a leash.

Zherlitsa is a purely Russian invention,simple and witty, absolutely not popular in Western Europe. And since the rest of the predators on the jailbrothers are rare enough, it can be called a purely pike shell.

It is fascinating to catch pike in the spring for spinning, when in small, very quickly bleached creeks the aquatic vegetation has not yet emerged, so there is nothing to cling on to the spoon-bait.

In general, choosing fishing gear, you needmust take into account the specific features of the water body. For example, on plaits with the same depth it is good to catch on mugs, but on an uneven bottom or among thick algae it is better to use spinning.
