Catching a pike on a circle is one of the most effective ways of fishing not only in non-current closed water reservoirs, but also on rivers with a weak current. This method will be especially effective if the angler is well aware of the habits of the predator. It is also necessary to at least approximately be able to find the parking places of the pike. It is from the correctness of the setting of circles-traps that the effectiveness of fishing depends.
And really, catching pikes on a circle in those places where there is a toothy, using a bait can not be not catchy. In addition, it is perhaps the only tackle that, without direct contact with the fisherman, is able to move independently along the reservoir. Of course, the fisherman provides for which path the circle will move about. Allies in this case will act not only the current and the wind, but also the activity of the live bait.
So, it's safe to say that pike fishing in the summer for mugs is the most productive and easy way to fish. Predator spreads evenly over the pond and feeds throughout the day. Contrary to many statements, there are no clear time limits for pike activity. Although it is noticed that in the morning hours a small "herb" is caught more often, and closer to 11 o'clock - more worthy specimens. A bit more complicated is the evening bite. Active pike fishing on a circle begins an hour after sunset. Much depends on the weather. On a cloudy day, the predator shows up better in the morning hours, and the evening biting can be completely absent. In clear weather, you can observe active pike bites during the whole daylight hours and in the evening hours, after sunset. There are many factors that adversely affect the feeding of the predator. The most significant of them is high atmospheric pressure. At a mark above 750 mm Hg, the pike becomes unpredictable and capricious.
Catching a pike on a circle is not difficult, if the fisherman knows the reservoir well and has already hunted him for a toothy predator more than once. It is much more difficult to fish on an unfamiliar lake or river. In this case, the only correct option is to run a small number of circles in the maximum possible water area of the reservoir.
It should be noted that the arrangement of pike fishing laps is different, so it is more rational to search for its parking lots with pin plugs. They have greater sailing capacity and, as a result, higher speed. So, starting the search, you need to check the coastal zone or the depth of shallow water, but it should be borne in mind that more often there is a small "grass" or perch. The best option is the shallows, located on the border with the pits. When searching for food, the pike can be in such places regularly. Do not ignore the sloping side of the deep throws. Bites of large specimens occur precisely here.
Searching for pike parking on the pond using the echosounder will not give good results. At those depths, where this device works properly, the predator appears very rarely. And on the shallows, where the pike feeds during the day, inexpensive echosounders have a large error, so it is not possible to obtain accurate data.
