Catching a perch in the spring on spinning and on a jig

With the onset of sunny days, nature wakes up. The behavior of many species of fish also changes. Therefore, catching perch in the spring has, of course, its secrets and nuances, which we will try to tell in this article. Some believe that percid fishing in the spring time becomes more difficult than in the winter. At the biting fish influences and the difference in atmospheric pressure, and wind, and precipitation, while in the cold, due to the formation of ice, such factors have little effect on biting.

Choice of tackle

But still catching perch in the spring is no less exciting than in the winter. Such fishing is still fondly loved by anglers of all stripes. Among the most common and popular species - catch perch in the spring for spinning. How to choose and properly equip it?

Catching a perch in the spring on spinning

It must be selected one-handed. The optimum length of the rod is not more than two and a half meters. To the extent of tough. The line used for fishing is 0.16-0.22 millimeters in diameter. Particular care should be taken when choosing baits. Perch in early spring usually hunts a small fish, which does not reach a length of five centimeters. Therefore, following the logic, and spoon-bait should be selected from 2.5 to 5 cm If the spinneret is too large, the fish will not hunt for it. The color of the bait must be universal, that is, it should be suitable for bad and good weather. It is advisable to choose brass and nickel. Catching of perch in spring, namely in May, after spawning, requires large spoons and brighter colors (as the predator preys on large enough fish, reaching 10 cm in length or more). For example, you can take a bright yellow, and the tee can be hidden scarlet wool thread . A medium sized wobblers and jigs are also good. Carry out the same fishing for spinning , using traditional methods and methods of casting and wiring, described in many fishing instructions.

Catching perch in the spring on a jig

A special place in the arsenal of a fishing spinner is occupied by devices called jigs. With such fishing, quite large humpbacks can get on the hook, and not just sailors who have not reached an impressive weight. You can fish from the shore, and from the water, and the best time for jigging is spring. Lures are carried out in different ways. The most effective in the spring is the stepping. The movement of the jig along the vertical attracts flocks of perches and causes them to attack when the bait falls. For jig fishing rod is used a small, 2-2.5 meters, with a tip particularly sensitive, capable of transferring any touch to the bait. The cargo-head in closed reservoirs can not exceed 20 grams. And on the open water areas - up to 50. The line is a braid (breaking force more than 2 kilograms). Leashes from metal, as a rule, do not apply. Of the bait jigs most popular: twisters, vibrotails, worms (size 3-5 cm, the worse the biting - the smaller the size of the fish from silicone). By color, yellow, green, brown work well.

A place for fishing

Fishing for perch in the spring begins with choosing the right place for fishing. And here you can search for it in different ways, depending on the signs of the presence of fish. The matter is complicated by the fact that the perch is found in practically all water bodies, large and small. But there are still some general principles for choosing a place for fishing. In early spring the fish keeps at the bottom, as the water is not warmed up. But small and medium-sized okunek can swim to the surface and into shallow waters. Especially such fishing (in the shallows) can be effective in May. And in the early spring, explore the coastal backwater, where there is enough room to hide. In March, it is good to catch at the footpaths, fallen into the water of large trees. If the pond is artificial and has no outlet, then perch can be tried to catch in the places of the drop of the bottom of the reservoir: bays, whirlpools, buckets. In April, it is recommended to look closely at places where deciduous trees hang over the water surface. And at the end of May - to places where seagulls swirl (on fairly large water bodies). There the perch chases the fry and attracts the birds.

Dependence of the bite on the natural conditions

Fishing in March, when the ice has not yet completely descended, is significantly different from the almost summer fishing in May. Fishing is done with the help of holes and winter gear. When the ice comes off, fishing for pike and perch in spring can largely depend on the weather. What affects the condition of the fish and its biting? First of all, atmospheric pressure. And also the wind, precipitation, fog, level change in water bodies. Like many species of fish, perch is weather-dependent, and when the atmospheric pressure changes, it simply stops paying attention to the nozzles. Especially he does not like changes in the water level (April floods, if they are observed). At this time, you can not wait for a good bite (as in the north and east winds). The thawed waters fill the pond, and the water becomes turbid, which does not like the perch. The same happens during the prolonged rains. Favorable effect on the biting is fog and thunder in May, a light drizzling rain. Therefore, catching perch in the spring can turn into embarrassment for the most experienced angler: there is a great chance to come home without any catch.
