Pike perch - this is the predatory fish, hunting forwhich brings the greatest excitement. It is called a river tiger not only for striped sides. The habits of a pike perch are similar in many respects to the land predator: it hunts from an ambush, does not eat carrion, leaves the victim at least a chance to survive.
Besides, is it possible to compare his tender whitemeat with pike or with some perch? Yes, and catch the river tiger, even knowing the habitat, not everyone can. But knowing his nature, habits and using proven gear for catching pike perch, you will not leave him no chance.
Fishing tackle
Catching a river tiger can be anyan adaptation intended for fishing on a predator, but not all of them work equally well for this fish. The most effective gear for catching pike perch is spinning, dunk and predatory feeder.
Fishing for pike perch
Spinning with a well-chosen snap andbait can do wonders in catching a predator. And pike perch is no exception. Spinning tackle is very mobile, does not require a long time for tuning, and also gives the fisherman the opportunity to choose the correct wiring option in a certain place.
As a bait for fishing on pike perchtaking into account its deep-sea lifestyle, often use vibrational spoon-bait, foam fish, as well as a variety of silicone attachments such as vibro-worms, twisters, etc. The type of wiring has a huge influence on the outcome of fishing. For pike-perch, most often anglers use tweeting or jig.
The best spinning equipment on pike perch
However, neither bait nor wiring will provideA good catch if you do not give enough attention to the rigging. Pike perch is not a pike, which, being hungry, rushes to everything, and not the omnipresent perch. In addition, he lives in places full of stones and snags, and attacks the victim solely from an ambush. It is problematic to get it out of there because of the danger of breaking off the tackle.
Fishing for pike perch has the following advantages:
- more natural bait game;
- increased sensitivity of tackle;
- Moving along the bottom and tapping cargo in addition attracts a predator;
- low probability of direct hooks.
Installation of a branch lead
The design is quite simple, so even a person who is not very knowledgeable in how to mount such a tackle will be able to deal with it. The branch lead on the pike-perch consists of the following elements:
- the main line (better woven) with a thickness of 0.15-0.25 millimeters, a length of about 100 meters;
- self-pull leash from a monolie with a maximum cross section of 0.2 millimeters, a length of about 100 centimeters;
- lead weight, better rounded, weighing 5-30 grams;
- swivel-tee;
- 2 carbines.
To begin with, you need to cut off the main linea piece about 30 centimeters long. To one of its end through the carbine to fix the load, and the other to tie to one of the branches of the swivel-tee. To the opposite branch of the tee, attach the main line in such a way that the usual straight tackle with a load on the end and a free lateral eyelet of the swivel is obtained. To him will be attached or fixed with the help of a carbine diver leash for catching pike perch. They can be prepared in advance, of different lengths, with hooks or jig-heads, as well as with a variety of ready-made baits.
Some anglers who hunt for a predator,recommend using leashes for catching pike perch from fluorocarbon. This predator, unlike the pike, does not have the habit of snacking, but extra precaution does not prevent.
Lures for catching pike perch on a branch lead
To attract pike-perch, you can use such attachments as:
- vibrotail;
- twister;
- ripper;
- wobbler;
- foam rubber fish;
- zhivets, including the one who is dead (dead).
Silicone baits
Catching a pike perch on a diversion lead with the use of silicone baits, such as a vibrotail, twister or ripper, significantly increases the probability of biting, especially if the color is chosen successfully.
Wobblers
Catching a pike perch on a branch lead with a wobbler is also very effective. However, do not give preference to large models. It is best to use drowning wobblers, imitating fry.
Suspenders with lures withzero buoyancy, used for fishing in the water column. During this period, the pike perch is most active at night. Very often in search of prey, it comes to the surface of the water, and also comes to the shore.
However, at night a pike perch on a branch leash with a wobbleror silicone is unlikely to occur. Still, the lack of visibility plays a significant role here. But a lodger or impregnated attractant (flavoring) porcelain does their job perfectly. These are the only night lures that can seduce zander.
Zywiec and foam rubber
Zhivtsa most often planted on a single hookfor the lips or nostrils, so that when posting it moves forward. You can also use a dead fish, but its effectiveness in comparison with the live one will be quite low.
Foamy fish, having a certainodor, of course, are effective for night fishing, but for daytime fishing their use is not justified. The material does not allow the bait to sufficiently repeat the movements of live fish, so in the afternoon the pike-perch on such nozzles reacts rarely.
Spinning rod for fishing on a branch lead
Catching pike perch from shore to spinning impliescasting a long distance. It is very rare to find this predator near the coastal zone. To cast was as accurate and distant as possible, regardless of the equipment used, a 2.5-3 meter rod will be required. This is the average length for spinning, but it will be enough for any fishing. The rods are fast or medium, the use of parabolic forms for catching pike perch is not justified. When vyvazhivanii, he rarely has serious resistance, and specimens weighing more than 5 kilograms are infrequent. The blank test should be 10-40 grams.
Spinning Postings
Fishing for pike perch is used inmainly for fishing in the cold season: early spring and late autumn. During this period the pikeperch is either too active, or practically does not get out of its cloister. For fishing to be successful, you can use such postings as:
- uniform;
- "stop and go" wire;
- jig or stepped;
- tweeting.
With the greatest activity of the predator is excellentsuitable even wiring. To do this, you need to cast and wait until the load sinks to the bottom, as indicated by the tip of the spinning. After this, you can begin to wind the line with uniform movements without pauses. It is important to feel the movement of the cargo on the bottom. With a faster movement of the spool, the bait will be in the water column.
Posting "stop and go" also involves catching inbottom space, but unlike the uniform space, pauses of two or three seconds are made here. This option can be used for small pike perch.
Staged wiring or jig is considered the mosteffective for catching pike perch. They use it regardless of the season and the activity of the predator. The essence of the stepped wiring is that the bait is allowed to sink to the bottom, after which four or five sharp turns of the coil are made, during which the nozzle breaks off from the surface, bounces and falls again. Between these pull-ups, a pause is made, the magnitude of which is determined by the fisherman himself, but is not more than ten seconds.
When tweaking, the jerkrotation of the spool, and a sharp movement of the rod rod aside or a small-amplitude twitching of its tip. Such fluctuations annoy and attract zander. Most often, such wiring is used to harvest a territory and search for parking places of a predator. Good catch!
