Fishing in November. Reviews of fishing on the Volga, Don and Kuban

Contrary to the popular belief that fishing in November is almost impossible due to the small activity of fish, many anglers are fishing their trophies precisely during this period. The whole secret is that you need to know where, who and what to catch. Indeed, in late autumn, most species of fish burrow into the mud and slip into the pits for hibernation. In November, it is almost impossible to catch crucian and tench, but the activity of predators is increasing, especially pike. As for burbot, this period is generally considered to be the height of the fishing season.

Features of fishing in early November

Of course, fishing in November on different water bodies has its own specific features. In general, we can say with confidence that it is best to try your luck on small rivers during this period, especially where there is an uneven bottom relief. The presence of potholes is only welcome. In November, roach is good for the bottom tackle. On mormyshku peck perch and ruff. The most spectacular can be a hunt for pike. As a bait, preference is best given to the live bait. If in the first half of November there are sunny days, by the end of the month there are stable frosts and ponds are tightened by the first ice.

Fishing on the first ice

So, by the end of the month the river is tightened with the first ice. It is not recommended to go out on a pond during this period. It is very dangerous. It is necessary to wait until the thickness of the ice reaches at least 5 cm. Almost all kinds of fish are actively caught by the first ice. The favorite trophies at this time are roach, perch, pike, pike perch, bream. On winter float fishing rods you can get a chub, a bum, yazya, dace. Predatory species - perch, pike perch, pike - go for spoon-bait. At the buckwheat, they can be tried to provoke to bite on the hook with a planted worm or bloodworm. And, of course, what kind of fishing in November without hunting for burbot. Bites of this royal fish are observed at night. The best bait is ruff, chicken guts. But the smell of rotten meat does not like burbot. In many regions it is caught for freshly frozen capelin and herring.

On the Volga in November

Very interesting can be fishing on the Volga in November. During this period the weather still pampers the fishermen with warm, fair days. Especially fine days are celebrated in the first ten days of the month. But the nights are already quite cold, the temperature can drop to -5 ° C. It is not unusual at this time to drizzle, sometimes they alternate with wet snow. At this time, fishing is successful for pike perch and pike. No less active and perch. In the first half of November, rarely, but still falls on the hook asp. Of course, fishing for predators is impossible without spinning. This is the main tackle. As a spinner it is better to take rotating and silicone baits. On the banks of the Volga is cold enough, so you need to dress warmly. The weather in November is very insidious. During this period, the pike perch gathers in flocks. Therefore, if you can detect such a cluster, then for a couple of hours you can collect a large catch. And, of course, fishing in November on this great river captures anglers with greedy and even frenzied bass perch of any size. Separately, mention catches catfish. He is successfully sucked on donkeys, using baitfat. The best thing is a frog.

Features of biting on the Don in November

Fishing in November on the Don is famous for its excellent pike-perch. At this time this predatory fish gathers in flocks. If you correctly identify the habitats of this species, you can bring home a very rich catch. Well, if you adhere to the principle of "caught, appreciated and released", then it will be possible to hunt successfully in such a place from year to year. They catch pike-perch mainly on spinning. Vibrations and twisters are considered very good. Do not disdain zander and small wobblers. But the vertical baiting, which was very successful in October, is extremely ineffective in late autumn. On the Don continues active zhor perch and pike. In the last attempt to satiate before the frost, these predators grab everything that the fishermen offer them. Very often, trophy specimens are also hooked onto the hook. In November you can catch a catfish, but its biting and even boring.

Fishing in November on the Oka River

On the Oka in late autumn, the main catches fall on days with stable warm weather. Cleves are observed more often after lunch, closer to sunset. It can not be said that on this river in this period there is a great activity of fish - it seems to freeze in anticipation of the first frosts.

Of course, fishing for a predator is possible, but it literally "forces" it to force to attack the bait. Pike and perch are active only in warm weather. As a bait, twisters and vibrotails are effectively used to support the interest of fish, you can use "edible" rubber at this time. In places on the Oka is caught and small pike perch. He is active at dawn. Look for this fish on stony heaps. As a bait, this predator prefers vibrating and spinning spoon-baiters, it will not pass by vibro-worms. Very interesting is the fact that in November it is possible to catch on small foamy lures of underclothes. Some particularly experienced and trained anglers manage to specifically catch this fish on separate pits. And the scoundrel does not grow on spinning, but they catch it. And, of course, what autumn fishing on the Oka without burbot. They catch him on the donkeys at night. As a bait use all the same ruff and roach.

Fishing in the Kuban in November

In the Kuban November bite depends very much on the time of day and weather. Most anglers know that the best time to cast gears is early morning or late evening. But this rule in this reservoir does not work late in the autumn. Fish goes to feed two, or even three hours, after sunrise. So the most active bites will be celebrated in the late morning or before dinner. Often this activity is observed in the second half of the day. Towards the late evening, again according to the observation of the fishermen themselves, biting only of such species as a scoundrel and a bugler is active. They are caught on the bottom fishing rod, since they practically do not approach at this time close to the shore. But roach more often falls on the hook during the day to 16 hours, then its activity drops sharply, and bites come to naught. Overcoming fishing on the Kuban River pleases fishermen more in the afternoon than in the morning or in the evening, and it does not matter at all whether there is a hunt for peaceful or predatory fish.
