Bream - one of the most numerous fishes inhabiting our reservoirs. Reaching 10 kilograms of weight, it is always the desired prey for any fisherman. And professional breeders have long enjoyed the honor and respect of the fishing community. For athletes, bream is a no less desirable trophy. After all, the capture of a large instance may well lead the party to the leaders of the competition.

At the moment, it is also worth noting the importance and comfort of home for your wife, who will do the cleaning while you are fishing. And so that you have the opportunity to make the vacuuming process as comfortable as possible, it will be very useful to purchase a vertical vacuum cleaner which, in fact, today is gaining great popularity among people with apartments where there is no large quadrature. After all, these vacuum cleaners are very compact and at the same time powerful enough for high-quality carpet cleaning.

Catching bream in still water

Reservoirs, non-sea lakes, quarries, ponds, and simply quiet river plants are zones of probable habitat for bream. The depths at which he prefers to stay and feed in stagnant bodies of water are greater than on the rivers of the tide. Usually bream stands in pits with a depth of up to 15 m. Brovki, flooded old beds of streams and rivers, the slopes of underwater elevations with clearly pronounced differences in depths are the feeding grounds of bream flocks. Bream same to half a kilogram is found near the coast at depths of over a meter. There are cases of catching decent fish in shallow water, but this is rather the exception. Only in spring, before spawning, the bream goes to feed on flooded sandbanks.

The most effective gear is a long plug rod, but swing and match fishing rods are quite suitable. Any "plug" will do, the main thing is that it can be used to deliver the bait to the desired point. Since the bream is a useless fighter, the use of special carp plugs is not justified. A "plug" of average strength, calculated for a maximum of 3 kg fish, is appropriate. Light, but fragile sports "plugs", having some experience, you can also safely catch bream, without fear for the strength of the rod.

Depending on the estimated size of the loot, choose a rubber cushion and a fishing line. Here it is important that their breaking loads are consistent with each other. The most versatile combination of the shock absorber number 5 with a lead 0.09 mm. If the pond is unfamiliar to me, I begin to catch just such tack. Bream up to 1 kg requires shock absorber No. 4 and driver 0.08 mm. With a fish mass of 100-600 g, shock absorber No. 3 with a lead of 0.07 mm will be suitable. For fish weighing 1-2 kg or more, I use shock absorber No. 6 with a leash of 0.1-0.11 mm. I choose the main line 0.02 mm thicker than the leash.

Floats

Let us dwell on the choice of floats for catching bream in stagnant water. I consider the most universal models like "canal" and similar to them in form. They have a body resembling an olive with double-edged ends and a height-to-thickness ratio of 3: 1-5: 1, a long carbon fiber keel and a plastic antenna (diameter 0.8-1.2 mm). Load capacity floats will depend on the depths in the place of fishing, the presence of waves, the activity of bream and "high" fish.

The selection principle is as follows:

• more depth - more ogruzka;
• strong waves - more ogruzka + long antenna;
• more active fish - more ozruzka.

In stagnant water, with a depth of 4-5 m at the fishing point, I start with a float of 1.5-2 g. With a low intensity bite, it makes sense to use 0.75-1 g, and with an active bite, when a fish attacks a nozzle, like only she sank to the bottom, with a carrying capacity of 3-4 g.

In special cases, if the active bleak does not allow the nozzle to sink to the bottom, it is necessary to put floats of more than 5-6 g. Total - 6 standard snap-ins, connected on lines of two standard sizes. It is desirable to have each of them in duplicate - in case of tangling of the fishing line, breakage of all the equipment or cargo with hooks "podpaska."

Shipment

For stagnant water, I surround the float so that 2/3 or half of the antenna is heated. In order to make it easier to see the bite, you can put a black belt on the antenna with a marker.

In the literature often there are allegations that biting bream - always "on the rise." My experience shows that this is not so simple - it all depends on the location of the weights on the equipment and the length of the leash. It is important to leave the nozzle lying at the bottom still. In stagnant water "plug" to achieve this is not difficult. The ideal variant of the distribution of the load: the main load is 20-30 cm from the bottom, and the "sub-grain" (with enough weight to detect a bite "on the rise") is 2-3 cm from the bottom.

At the same time most of the short (15-20 cm) leash should lie on the bottom. And then it will be possible to see the bite "on the rise." The main load, low located and concentrated at one point, allows the hook to quickly reach the bottom, bypassing small fish in the middle and upper water layers. Sometimes a single "podpasok" makes sense to replace two or three smaller ones.

Hooks

I usually use hooks №№20-14 on the European classification. For a worm I tied №№ 16-14; with uzhei on a bunch of moths or maggots - №№ 18-16. With careful biting I put hooks No. 20. Good models: Gamakatsu 1310 (with a semicircular poddev), Kamasan B 512. For a bundle of moths or maggots - hooks with poddev "crystal" - Gamakatsu 1010, 1030, Owner 50282, 50286; they, like Kamasan B 512, are coated in red. I hardly catch vegetable nozzles (barley, corn, dough). In most cases, they have no advantage over bloodworms or worm. The only exception is fishing on some lakes, where the bream for some reason prefers vegetarian food.

Never forget: what you are going to implant on the hook must necessarily be contained in a certain amount in the bait!

Lure

The bait for grass in the stagnant water should be so viscous that it, even before it reaches the bottom, does not break up into separate fragments. The more small particles separated from the bait ball during a fall, the higher the likelihood of attracting undesirable small fish. But at the bottom it should disintegrate quickly, forming a stain and not leaving large sticky lumps. This effect can be achieved by slightly under-wetting the mixture. I usually add a little more binder — clay or oatmeal — and pour less water than usual. When forming a ball, it is desirable to wet it tightly with water and squeeze it tightly.

Unfortunately, ready-made baits of well-known companies are not available to everyone, so I’ll give you the recipe for the basic mix, which I have been using for several years:

• bread crumbs - 2 parts;
• wheat bran -1 part;
• rye bran -1 part;
• sunflower seeds fried and milled (or sunflower cake) -1-2 parts;
• cannabis cake - 0.3 parts;
• crystal vanillin - 1 standard sachet;
• ground cinnamon - 5-10 g;
• "Hercules" (flakes) - 0.5 parts;
• "Hercules" ground - 0.2 parts (or oatmeal, oat flour, rye flour - 0.1 parts);
• semolina - 0.2 parts.

Vanillin, cinnamon, coriander - "soft" flavors, which are very to taste bream. My experience shows that it is not so important - what kind of flavor do you use, the main thing is that it should not be too sharp, such as anise or garlic. The best and most versatile flavoring, I think, is "Chocolate." For the conditions of standing water, I take a liquid flavoring, not powder, because it is perceived faster by the taste buds of the fish.

As a feed additive per 3-4 kg of dry mix, you can add 0.5 kg of millet cereal, boiled in 2 liters of water. If the porridge is not too thin, it is better to put it in an under-humidified mixture. In this case, it is not so sticky in the lumps and you can do without passing the bait through a sieve. I do not add clay when fishing in stagnant water, although sometimes I use loam or black soil to tint bait the color of the bottom. When the bait absorbs water (usually, after 15 minutes), I put moth or chopped worms into it, i.e. what I use as a nozzle.

Tactics catching bream

Bream, especially large - fish cautious. If fishing is carried out from the shore, then try once again not to make noise. Feeding, in the absence of competition from other anglers, it makes sense to do it infrequently, but in large quantities: after all, balls the size of an orange with noise enter the water and can easily scare off the bream that is found here.

Therefore, at the very beginning of fishing, I immediately pour half or 2/3 of the mixture, and then, focusing on the activity of the fish, I feed small walnut-sized balls, trying to get as close as possible to the area of \u200b\u200bthe main food. Throw bait can be in 10-15 minutes.

Initially, the small fish flies up on the bait - roach, Huster.

My reception number 1: when there is no interest in catching it, you can plant a large worm instead of a moth or just a dozen moths - swallow such a large nozzle a trifle is not strong enough.

After a while the bite of the little things suddenly stops. This means that fish approached the bait more seriously.

Bream pike up to 300-500 g usually behaves less carefully and can take all day (with variable intensity depending on weather conditions and season). A large fish is caught by short “approaches”, several in a row.

But back to the process of getting married. After a successful hook-up, the diving game begins. In order not to scare off the breams standing on the bait, you can use two tactics of “pumping out” fish.

If the tackle is strong and the fish is not very large, you should use the power method. Immediately after the sweep, the “plug” is rolled back, the “whale” is uncoupled, and the bream begins to tire, shifting the “whale” to the left-to-right and parallel to the water surface. When the fish get tired enough and dutifully go to the surface, gently plant it in the net.

Do not attempt to pull large fish ashore. You must first take it away from the spot bait, at the same time gradually giving the "plug" back and watching the shock absorber stretching. When the fish get tired, bring it closer to the shore, disconnect the "whale" and complete the fighting.

As quickly as possible we update the nozzle and push the "plug" to the point of catching. They didn’t scare off the pack - it’s not a long bite. Do not forget about dokorm small lumps. If, again, began to peck a trifle, then you need to make the balls bigger. After all, often, after too noisy vyvazhivaniya, the remaining large fish moves from the bait a few meters. Often this happens after the gathering of a decent specimen above the bait itself. In the hope of a former friendship, let us make an attempt to once again seduce the overseas fragrances that did not manage to hide far.

So let's summarize the first results:

• Viscous bait, disintegrating at the bottom.
• Large starter zakorm and supplement, not creating strong noise.
• "Soft" flavor, less attractive roach, and more - bream.
• The correct load is the nozzle lying motionless on the bottom.
• "Podpasok" is located at the very bottom, which allows you to see the bite "on the rise".
• Pulling away from the bait allows you not to scare away the feeding flock of bream. These tips are suitable for catching fly fishing rod and match gear.

Fishing for bream fly-fishing pole

Floats are used the same as for the hooks "plug", but their capacity must be much more (it is difficult to throw a float with a 9-meter fly fishing rod, for example, 0.75 g).

The line is better to use thicker than for the "plug"; The degree of this "thicker" depends on the quality of the rod. It is advisable to equip a cheap and rigid fly rod with a rubber "plug" shock absorber.

When fishing in a windless position, a "sub podask" should be placed 2-3 cm from the bottom. In the wind, the rigging will shift, then it is better to lower the pellet to the very bottom. In some cases, it may be necessary to increase the size of the “sub-pack” in order for the rigging not to be dragged by the sailing line.

Match tackle

It is used for fishing in the distance (where neither “max” nor “plug” is lacking) and at considerable depths, and floats are used, as a rule, sliding. I consider 4–5 g as the best ogruzka. It is better to lay the “allotment” on the bottom in order to “anchor” the rigging motionless.

The principles of feeding are common, as for all types of float fishing, but it often happens that at a great distance from the coast the fish is less cautious and not afraid of the “plumes” of the supplementary food.

Fishing for bream

All kinds of rivers, canals, channels between lakes are typical habitats for bream and whitethroat. A cautious fish prefers to keep close to the pits, on stretches with small and medium currents, but early in the morning it can go out to feed on the coastal curb, where the depth does not exceed 1.5 m.

I consider pitholes at depths of 2 to 5 m to be the best places for fishing from the shore. However, in shallow channels and in wide, but shallow rivers, I happened to catch large bream literally at a meter depth.

In the course of catching more interesting and dynamic. The fish reacts to bait from a greater distance and behaves less carefully.

The perfect tackle is a long plug rod. The use of "mach" significantly reduces the number of bites.

Specificity prikormki

If in the stagnant water the bait should disintegrate by slightly touching the bottom, then this effect is undesirable for fishing on the course. This means that we will add more binder and weighting components to our basic version - for example, clay, loam, sand. "Aromatics" is better to take the powder - as more "long-playing". The faster the flow, the more "aromatics" and the bait mixture itself should be used.

In prikormku for a very strong flow, I add clay with sand to half the volume of the mixture. Balls must be made dense and viscous, so that they are eroded for 5-30 minutes (depending on the depth and strength of the water flow). I adhere to two tactics prikormlivaniya:

A large part of the viscous bait is immediately thrown so that it “works” for a long time, and the supplement balls throw up rarely, but with lots of it; This method is useful when fishing at great depths and not very strong current;

Initially, the place is fed to about a third of the total volume of the mixture, then we finish feeding them into walnut-sized balls every 5-10 minutes, sometimes each wiring; This method is good for shallow depths in the presence of a strong current.

Catching bream with a plug for

Unlike catching flywheel or Bologna fishing rods, the "plug" allows even on a strong stream of water to ensure complete immobility of the nozzle. This is a huge advantage! However, with active fish, you can do the wiring at any speed, including against the current.

The choice of equipment has its own characteristics. The perfect float for her is flat. The fact that the load capacity of the float is chosen correctly can be verified by setting the descent to be less than the depth at the point of catching. If the float antenna is standing upright or deflecting against the current by no more than 5-10 degrees, then everything is in order.

During fishing, we establish such a descent, in which the "sub-tackle" is at the bottom. It is recommended to load the flat float so that the whole antenna sticks out and the body is under water. It should be borne in mind that the "sub-tackle box" will lie at the bottom, and not include its mass in the calculated mass of loading.

Another variant of the flat float ogruzka scheme is intended for active fishing using downstream wiring with varying speed. We make the descent a little less depth at the point of catching and keep the "plug" still. Depending on the desired speed of the wiring, change the floats and ensure that the antenna deviates against the flow by 10-45 degrees. I prefer slow wiring, at which the deflection angle is 10-20 degrees. I set the descent so that at the desired speed of wiring (the antenna is located vertically), the hook on each swim 1-2 times slightly touched the bottom, heating the float.

In a small current (or if there are no “candy” floats), it is possible to use models of the traditional form, loading them as standard. Deviation of the antenna against the current for a fixed snap optimally about 10-20 degrees. When getting "plug" with a fixed snap, it makes sense to lure as closely as possible and catch at this point. After zakorma do short slow posting over the spot bait in order to determine the area of \u200b\u200bthe most frequent bites of white bream. And only then we bring the rigging to the selected point, occasionally releasing the float just below or pulling up a little above this place.

After a successful hook, it is convenient to take the fish out of the bait downstream. If the mining is large, then you should not fully feed the "plug" back, because in case of throwing the fish back into the bait zone, it will be more difficult to stop.

After catching fish, it is better to feed them with large balls, several pieces each. For active fishing, I often choose the tactics of feeding not one point, but a narrow bottom strip with a length of 1.5-2 m, over which the wiring itself is carried out. In the absence of poklevok above the spot bait, you can try to hold a snap a couple of meters below. The wiring itself can be both uniform, with a certain speed, and intermittent, with short-term equipment stops.

Supplement is often carried out and in small lumps: either after each posting, or after each fish caught, or, in the absence of a bite, every 5-10 minutes.

Fly rod

Catching bream fly fishing rod on the course has some features. Such an ogruzka scheme is chosen so that the sinkers have time to reach the bottom in the first quarter of the wiring - just after reaching the spot of bait. The body of the float is shorter, with a thick antenna - up to 2 mm. The descent is set so that when wiring the hook 1-2 times touched the bottom, pritaplivaya float. When fishing on a clean bottom, you can try to add the height of the descent, so that the "sub-grader" drags along the bottom, but does not attach the float antenna.

During the wiring periodically tighten the fishing line, slowing down the movement of the float, which has a positive effect on the number of bites.

Bologna rod

Fishing with a long cast is possible on a not very strong current with the help of the Bologna fishing rod. The tactics are the same as when fishing for "max", but the float should be used heavier.

The main points when catching a stream

• Viscous bait, disintegrating for a long time.
• "Soft" flavor, preferably powder, less attracting roach and more - bream.
• The stronger the flow, the more bait must be used.
• Correct ogruzka - lying at the bottom of the nozzle and even "podpasok."
• Pulling away from the spot bait.

Russian fishermen usually associate summer float fishing with roach or bleak. At the word “bream,” you will most likely think of either a donkey or fishing from a boat anchored in the middle of a river or lake. Nevertheless, bream, and even large, can be quite successfully caught on the lake or reservoir with an ordinary float rod from the shore.

Fishing for bream in quarries, reservoirs and lakes differs from fishing on a river.

The first and main feature is that if in the rivers bream during the day keeps approximately on the same areas, then in still water we can observe its distinct daily migration. In the morning, in the evening and at night, he goes to eat to the shallow areas, and during the day he goes to the deepest places of the reservoir. If it is overcast, the bream prefers to be in shallow water longer, and a sharp change in the weather sometimes causes it not to leave the pits.

It prefers to move, adhering to deep sections, therefore in the coastal pit, separated by shallows from the main depths of the reservoir, it may not appear at all. And vice versa: a submerged ramp suitable close to the shore, connected to the main pits, is the most likely place where he will go to feed. Fishing from the shore here can sometimes be successful throughout the day.

From the foregoing it follows that for successful fishing for bream with a fishing rod from the shore, the main thing is to know the relief of the bottom of the reservoir, which is desirable to study in advance.

On a sunny hot afternoon, it may seem that there are no bream in the pool. However, on the echo sounder screen, it is clear that a flock of bream stands above the pit in the aquifer, rising to the surface as the wind increases. This is apparently due to the distribution of oxygen and the temperature stratification of water. The fish is looking for depth with the most comfortable conditions. At such moments, the bream is full and forcing him to take the bait on the hook is almost impossible.

Success can come if you catch a summer boat from a boat, hooking a moldy worm, bloodworms, or artificial baits - beads, cambric, balls of black foam rubber or stripes of dark foam. When the bream rises to the surface of the water and starts picking off insect larvae from the underside of lily pads, which grow along the coastal dumps into the depths, only such tackle will help you to bite. In such a situation, it is better to mount an imitation of a larva or pupa of an insect on a hook of a mormushka.

Let us consider in order the features of catching bream in still water. Let's start with the classic fishing, with bait.

You can use the commercially available bait - domestic and imported. To import bait, however, must be treated with great caution. The fact is that some of the imported baits that come to our market have been developed for the conditions of Western cultural fishery, where fish are accustomed to certain food components introduced into the bait in the process of breeding.

Most serious anglers prefer to prepare their own compositions, in extreme cases, based on commercially available bait. It justifies itself, because it is the only way to create the mixture that is most adapted for a specific water body and for a certain fish.

The basis of bait are breadcrumbs (corn or wheat) and cake (hemp or sunflower). Cake can be replaced by roasted and crushed oilseeds - sunflower, rapeseed, hemp (their share in the bait should be two to three times less than the cake).

Very favorably bream refers to the presence in the bait roasted wheat, buckwheat, peas, as well as roasted until golden brown "Hercules". It is not bad to introduce bait and bran into the composition, but since bream is a bottom fish, it is better to steam them up, pour boiling water from the evening, and introduce bait directly on the pond when mixing. By the way, the same applies to the cake.

All solid components must be thoroughly crushed. First, the fish are not so quickly saturated with bait. Secondly, the surface area of \u200b\u200bwater increases, from which odorous and flavoring substances are released into the water. And thirdly, the finely ground mixture is quickly washed away with water, without polluting the reservoir.

Excellent results are obtained from the use of skimmed milk powder in the bait, which creates a cloud in the water that is extremely attractive for dregs, but does not saturate the fish at all.

Whole non-skimmed milk can be used, but it must be borne in mind that it is desirable to introduce it into the composition of dry bait a day before leaving for the reservoir, because long-term storage of a mixture of whole milk with the other components of the bait leads to the rapid oxidation of milk fats, which leads to rancidity throughout the bait.

The bream has a very well developed sense of taste, so it’s not a bad thing to use sugar or ground honey with molasses as part of the bait.

Especially should be said about the flavors. Practically all the flavors currently available on the market attract bream well, I would just like to warn against overuse with them when catching bream in standing water, especially those containing dill and anise essential oils, garlic extracts. It is better to use fruit essences (pear, banana, raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant), cinnamon or vanilla with cocoa. Cocoa, introduced into the composition of bait and in the form of powder, creates also a cloud in the water that attracts fish turbidity.

The final component of the bait, the role of which is often underestimated even by experienced anglers, is ballast. Regular river sand, in addition, is also an excellent baking powder, so if its share leaves up to 80% of the volume of your bait, it will allow you to abandon chemical baking powder. Ballast is desirable to introduce the bait on the shore of the reservoir. It is easy to get it, it is best to take the sand, washed up by the waves in the surf zone.

Carrying a ballast is impractical, and in some cases harmful. The fact is that, in addition to the functions of the actual ballast and baking powder, the coastal soil has one more feature: it masks the bait against the background of the bottom and, having a smell familiar to the inhabitants of the pond, does not alarm them with its sudden appearance at the bottom. Recently, quite a lot of so-called biting activators have appeared on the market - concentrated dry additives to bait, specialized in types of fish. Unfortunately, they suffer from the same drawback as imported dry bait, that is, their use leads to unpredictable results.

Once two of my friends experienced the effect of Polish activators for bream and roach on the pond near Moscow. “P1оtz” very well attracted both the roach and the white bream to the fishing spot, but it was enough to throw the bait with the bream activator into the water, as the bite instantly ceased and did not resume. The same story was repeated in another part of the reservoir, where the unlucky experimenters moved to escape the artificially caused besklevya. Only in the third place of fishing did they finally realize not to throw this “anti-bite bait”, as they later put it.

Nozzles for catching bream in the summer

There are quite a lot of tips for summer fishing for bream: the usual worm, bloodworm, maggot, steamed grains of pearl barley, wheat, corn, peas, rolled oats, dough, semolina talker and others. I prefer when fishing in stagnant water “sandwiches” from a bloodworm with maggots and a semolina mash made with various flavors: vanilla, cinnamon, fruit essences. From my point of view, the semolina talker in May – August is even more effective — swollen grains are constantly separated from the tucked lump of semolina in water, and a cloudy cloud hangs around it, so that the nozzle from the talker is also something like a mini - bait.

The bait on the hook should touch the bottom or be 1-2 cm away from it and, if possible, do not move, since any movement in the thickness of the still water will only alarm the cautious bream. Therefore, it is necessary to use a snap that allows you to effectively block the drift under the action of the wind.

Tackles for catching bream in summer

For fishing for bream, it is better to take rods of medium hardness and hard ones with a soft tip, equipped with a rather long, 10-12 cm end shock absorber. Rod lengths vary from 5 to meters, depending on the fishing conditions.

The line - the thinner and softer the better, the leash - 0.01 mm thinner than the main line. Due to the caution of bream (in the coastal zone, it manifests itself most clearly) the mathematical formula is valid: the thinner the fishing line, the larger the prey. In principle, a modern fishing line with a thickness of 0.12 mm with a breaking load of 1.5 kg makes it possible to remove a three-kilogram bream without any particular hassle - after all, the bream resists weaker in still water than in flowing water, where the flow helps it. For a kilogram bream, a lead with a thickness of 0.10 mm is sufficient.

The use of woods of the minimum diameter is also advantageous in that it makes it easier to control the gear when the wind is at the expense of their smaller windage. One has only to put in such a weather snap with a fishing line thinner than only 0.02 mm, as the handling of gear significantly increases.

The altitude is placed 30-40 cm from the rest of the sinkers, and its weight is chosen so that the float raised by the bream is shown 3-4 mm out of the water. This is quite enough to notice the bite when catching even the longest rods.

The best when fishing in still water should be floats with the most elongated body and a thin upper part. They are especially effective when a gentle side wind blows, the so-called “verkhovka”, in which the surface layer of water moves quite quickly, about 5 cm thick. The “needle” float, more than 90% of the body below the one that moves at “Watering” a layer of water, which almost completely blocks the drift of equipment.

When catching bream on large bodies of water, it is better to paint the antenna of the float black, since the angler most often sees it against the bright summer sky reflected in the water. The standard orange fluorescent antenna, especially when there is a slight ripple on the surface of the water, is completely lost among the sun glare.

A landing net with a telescopic handle with a length of at least 3 meters is simply necessary. If you can still cope with a podleschik weighing 500-600 g, gently picking it up near the shore with your hand, then this trick will not work with a larger bream: in order not to scare the flock on the bait, the bream must be forced as far as possible retains enough strength for the last desperate spurt. The highly raised rod at the last stage of the downtroop is not able to fully manifest its cushioning properties.

On frequently visited reservoirs, the bream sometimes avoids coming close to the shore, so even a 10-meter rod can be a bit short. In this case, it is better to use tackle for long-distance casting. Its device and application are described in detail in the article by A. Mailkov (“Fisherman-Elite”, No. 3 for 1995), to which I refer the reader, because this tackle is too complex to try to describe in brief.

And further. Polarized goggles, long established among the fly fishing and spinningists, will also be useful for lovers of float fishing - firstly, they have a much more distinct float, and secondly, their eyes are much less tired.

  The technique of catching bream in the summer

The concept of fishing technique is multifaceted. First of all, it includes the technical mastery of modern sports float tackle. The second term is knowledge of the habits of the fish, the third is observation. Of all this, and consists of a purely individual experience of an angler, accumulating over the years. We will talk about other aspects of fishing technique.

Proper feeding in the process of fishing allows the fish to set the desired behavior, literally to manage it. The main rule is that it is better to underfeed the fish than to feed them. Catching begins with throwing 2-4 balls of the size of a tennis ball to a selected point. This is followed by a rather long pause (sometimes up to an hour and a half), when the angler finds out how the fish behaves today.

If during this time there are no bream bites, and only the roach takes, the casting of the bait is repeated. It may happen that the bream today is not located to go to the shore. It's okay, with the same bait and for the same tackle you can catch roach with no less success, leaving the bream to a more favorable moment.

Bream gathering for bait displaces roach. This is reflected in the fact that biting roach occur farther and farther from the point of feeding. Bream at this point may not peck - he "sniffs," assesses the situation. By the way, the bream itself can drive away the appearance of either a predator - a large pike or a pike perch, or a “peaceful” fish - a carp or an ide.

As soon as you notice that the bream has approached the bait, carefully monitor the dynamics of the bite. If, after catching one or two copies, the bites are stopped, after a pause of 10-15 minutes, another 1-2 balls the size of a chicken egg should be planted, and usually after a five-minute pause, the bream begins to pick up again. If a bream came up to prikormku and begins to actively dig in it (which in practice is expressed in bubbles rising from the bottom, roach leaving, false fast bites, “jerky”), but does not react to the nozzle, use another trick: 15 minutes throw balls of bait with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm to the point of catching. This may cause the bream to “raise its head” and turn its attention to the “additional food” you have proposed.

Sometimes, when fishing for bream, the bleak strongly annoys its big relative and cheekily snatches tidbits from it right from under its nose. In such cases, it is useful to throw a little bait at the point of catching, soaked to the state of liquid gruel, adding dry bran to it. This technique is especially effective at a small (up to three meters) depth in the place of fishing and wind current. The cloud of appetizing dregs which is floating away with the current leads a flock of gluttonous bleak.

Cut bream, especially large and at shallow depths, should be taken immediately away from the bait, so that it does not alter the entire flock - let it go in circles to the side. It is not worth pushing the road too much - at the sight of a podsachek, a not yet tired bream is capable of a desperate dash, and then - bye, prey!

If the fish got off the hook at the point of feeding, you should immediately throw 2-3 balls of bait there - they will keep the alert and ready to strike the flight. In all other cases, abuse this technique is not worth it, especially if the bite is not very active.

Closer to the fall, with the beginning of the cooling of the water, it is necessary to use bait with great care. As a rule, at this time for the whole day of catching only one portion is enough. Repeated feeding leads to a sharp cessation of biting. In special cases (large fish gathering, predator approach), forcing you to throw another ball, you can resort to a little trick: present the next portion of bait to the fish as something completely new, still unexplored, changing the flavor and even changing the composition of the bait. Therefore, at this time knead the bait in small portions - only one cast.

When catching bream from the shore, you should try to make sure that you stand out as little as possible against the background of coastal vegetation. It’s not a bad idea to catch fishing in places where a angler or reed is separated from the water - they will serve as an excellent disguise. Probably, it would not be worth mentioning that it is necessary to make as little noise as possible and not stomp your feet along the shore, but once I was at a career near Moscow, the uninvited fans spoiled the fishing. No matter how I asked them not to come close, one of them could not resist and after catching the next half kilogram bream, he jumped closer to get a better look at the prey. At the same time he slipped and waved his arms sharply. This was quite enough for the flock of bream standing on the bait to instantly “evaporate” and the fishing was over.

The best time for catching bream is from dawn to 10-12 hours, then the bite stops and the bream goes into the depth, again activating 2.5-3 hours before sunset. This fish is a real living barometer, and a sudden cessation of biting often indicates a close change in the weather.

Very interesting, especially in spring, with the onset of warming up of water, catching bream on a summer mormyshka. At this time, quite substantial specimens are hooked, capable of delivering many exciting minutes to the angler.

Catching bream is a very interesting, albeit difficult job. This fish is very cautious and cunning. The bream is usually very good, but if he even sees the shadow of the fisherman or hears extraneous noises, he will hide in his shelter for a long time. Therefore, when catching this fish you need to mask and observe silence.

Biting time

Bream on the float rod begins to bite in the spring, when it warms enough. But then comes the break to spawn. In late May – mid June, the fish begins to catch again. From the middle of August bream to the float fishing rod is more active. Nibble lasts until about mid-autumn. Pecking fish begins in the early morning and is easy to catch before 11-12 days. Bream on the float fishing rod goes well in the evening (3 hours before sunset).

Habitat

Bream prefers calm and warm water with silty-sandy or clayey bottom. In rivers, fish can be found in areas with moderate currents, close to the steep banks at a depth of about 3-4 meters. It does not bypass the bays with holes. Bream often keeps close to piles of bridges, above or below dams. In reservoirs and lakes, he prefers deeper places, which begin by a cliff just beyond the edge of reeds or reeds. Often bream keeps quiet stretches with holes, thickets of plants or the middle of the reservoir.

Gear requirements

Catching bream on a float rod is a very interesting exercise, but it requires special attention to tooling. For fishing of this fish they use rods about 6 meters long. For you can use a shorter gear. The line should be 0.18-0.28 mm (load capacity about 3 kg). Hooks need to use №10-№14. The bream requires the installation of a long keel float - from bird feather or balsa. It should weigh 1-2 grams. Sinkers should be placed on the line at equal distances from each other. The very last load should be the lightest. Bream on the float rod bite differently than most fish. He rarely drowns the float. Usually the fish puts it on the water.

Lure

Bait is recommended to do the following way: 1 kg of millet porridge to boil in 3 liters of water, adding 5 tablespoons of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Hemp, breadcrumbs, flax seeds, buckwheat, oatmeal and rapeseed should be well dried in a frying pan, and then ground to dust on a coffee grinder. Balls of the size of an average orange are molded from boiled millet porridge mixed with dry mass. Their density should be such that they disintegrate at the bottom, and not upon impacting the surface of the water. Upon arrival at the fishing spot, immediately you need to throw 5-6 balls into the water, and then pour 1-2 every 2 hours. Feeding gives good results and significantly increases the number of bites.

Nozzles

Bream - a fish that is caught on the bait of plant and animal origin. Out of animal baits, maggots, earth and manure worms, neck and claws of faded cancer, give the greatest results. From vegetable baits, dough, canned corn, cubes of slightly cooked new potatoes, and peas are the most popular among bream.

The float rod for summer fishing for bream on a weak river from a boat is shown in the picture. Those who want to get acquainted with the equipment closer can find the description in the article Fishing on the Lake, the Pond

The use of float fishing rods for catching bream on summer fishing from a boat is for me personally a necessary, albeit customary, measure. On the rivers there are enough shallow areas where the use of onboard donocs is impossible due to too weak water flow, but you can often stumble upon the school of passing bream.

True, I use float gear more often not in the summer, but in early autumn, when the bream begin to stray into the shoals at depths, but feed on the coastal, warmed up during the day in sunny weather areas of reservoirs.

Usually I catch float fishing rod in search of bream for one well-studied small river. Naturally, for such summer fishing only one fishing rod with a float half slip is used.

Equipment onboard float rod for bream

Equipping the side float rod for catching bream from a boat on a weak river is the easiest. As a rod I use a light carbon fiber telescope of a fairly rigid structure.

And the fishing equipment list includes only a small diameter inertial reel with a reserve of fishing line, a homemade foam float and a removable "tulip", also homemade.

In the stowed position, the rig is placed on a pair of reel, taped under tape (like a reel) to the rod. Then the side float tackle is retracted into the cover for transporting the reservoir to the shore.

Of course, the equipment of the onboard float rod looks quite antediluvian, but this telescope is much more often used for catching bream from the shore in the windows among the algae, but not the float, but the sea sight with a side nod.

Mormish equipment with a nod is wound on the same reel hooks.

Float for catching bream from a boat

When catching bream from a boat on the weakest current of the river with a clean bottom, I put a float with an antenna and a keel (shown on the left).

Float loading - one heavy sinker + sub-grain for setting the level of immersion of the float device.

When fishing for bream from a boat in the fall in a shallow hole (up to 3.5-4 meters) on a noticeable river flow, it is better to place a float of a spindle-shaped form of greater carrying capacity on a noticeable river course.

Then ogruzka float by selecting the weight in the water only one sinker (position on the right).

In both cases, when placing the nozzles along the bottom, the loads should not touch the ground of the reservoir.

Usually between the sinker and the hook of the float rod for catching bream I tie a leash.

As for the capacity of both floats, I can also add: they must not only hold the load, but also, as they move away from the boat, pull the considerable length of the fishing line behind them.

How to catch bream from a boat on a float

To catch bream on a float from a boat, I choose a relatively shallow place with a weak current near a side dump of a river pit.

I put the boat on a hard stretch across the stream, catching the spot for bream lightly feeding along the long wiring of the nozzle, if I fish without a feeder. But usually I catch bream with a feeder.

Although not the fact that the bream in the chosen place of fishing must necessarily stand. But there can be caught and another, not at all weedy fish. Well, do not send for the board of the boat caught track, gustera, Cyan, or sopa.

Since casting nozzles for catching bream on the river course is not required, and the float descends along the stream near the boat, I use the simplest one shown in the figure above one of the two fishing tackle equipment with floats and weights.

I tune the fishing line under the float next to the boat, then I release the float device into the drift, periodically bleeding the fishing line from the reel and with sharp short lifts of the tip of the hook I pull it through the float fishing rod.

Poklevku bream and other fish on the river from the usual hook distinguish even the most inexperienced fisherman. After a successful hook-up of a bream, the line is reeled up onto a fishing rod. Bringing to the boat, under the fish I bring a homemade landing net with a short handle.

If the bream is caught with a feeder, then I drop it from the opposite ("not working") side of the boat. With a significant deterioration in the bite, one should not rush to reel the bait with the float and change the place for catching bream.

Taking into account that the nets, as a rule, are filled with poorly eroded feed, in most cases it is enough to stir up the feed in the feeder. To do this, it just rises 1-1.5 meters above the bottom and is dumped on the ground. In most cases, catching bream on a float from the side of a boat after intensive bait becomes much more effective.

Nozzles for float fishing rod for bream

I will describe the popular nozzles for float fishing rods for catching bream, which are used throughout the open water season.

One of the baits of animal origin for fishing in spring, summer and autumn of bream is shown in the figure.

It is better to equip the hook of the float rod with a large bundle of maggots with a high probability of catching a large bream.

Not bad caught large bream and nozzles in the form of a sandwich made from dung-worm and moldy worm. To catch a flock's fishing rod, it is better to put a nozzle out of a pair of maggots impaled with a whisk, and cover the sting hook with another fly larva.

The nozzle during its posting along the bottom can be manipulated along the stream of water, periodically pulling it up to the boat, and within small limits the nozzle on the bream can be moved across the weak current of the river for the length of the float rod.

Due to the probable spreading of the depths, going from the sinker the leash I put a length of 50-70 centimeters, about half of it when dragging the nozzle is dragged along the bottom. Here we are talking about catching bream in the fall of float fishing from the side of the boat.

With this setting, the float tackle nozzle, even falling into the hole, will remain at the bottom of the reservoir, and the sinker will not catch on the elevation of the bottom. A nozzle when catching bream (dung-worm, maggot) should hide the sting of a hook.

A few more words about baits when fishing for bream in the fall from a boat with a float rod on a weak river.

Nozzle smoother and with a smaller number of hooks will pass along the bottom, if next to the hook ring on the line to mount a small foam ball.

The balls rolled out of the pieces of foam plastic in the figures are marked with circles of red and green color.

The method of installation of miniature floats, allowing not only to rigidly fix, but also to move them along the fishing line, is described in the article Postavushka (zherlitsa) on pikeperch.

The ball loading capacity is chosen to be about a third to half the weight of the nozzle for the bream in the water. The foam raises the hook ring above the bottom. In this case, the bream feels less weight when sucking from the bottom of the nozzle.

The place of the most frequent bites is additionally fed with a non-nutritious mixture in the form of small flat cakes, which keep up well also on gentle piles of holes.

For catching float fishing rod large bream, you can use the same nozzles of animal and part of plant origin, which are used to catch carp and other "white" fish. Only you need to know what attachment should be charged hooks float fishing rod when catching bream in relation to the place, and especially to the time of year.

Nozzles for catching bream in spring, summer, autumn

In spring and autumn bream is better to catch nozzles of animal origin. In summer, bream often feeds on young shoots of some algae.

Therefore, in the list of summer nozzles for catching bream, you can include various steamed grains, mixes of semolina and dough.

It would be better to prepare such nozzles for more efficient catching of bream in a soft consistency, but they are instantly broken down when they run along the bottom even on a weakly flowing river.

I have on my fishing poles for catching bream and other fish in the summer most often there are voluminous nozzles from steamed (not boiled) grains (4-5 pieces) of pearl barley, which are practically not consumed by small fish.

Only, given that the bream does not particularly like the relatively rigid nozzles, the cutting of the pecked bream should be done without delay.

Sometimes when fishing for bream in the summer, a nozzle from a sandwich consisting of a single moldy worm or a small piece of dung-worm and pearl-barley grain impaled on a sting hook can yield a completely striking result.

In the days of a bad bite, the bream is an indispensable, although relatively short-lived attachment may be a brush of moths. They are placed on 5-8 pieces on hooks made of thin wire, or moth knit a bunch in special devices.

In the cold water in the autumn is not as active as summer bream, float fishing rod should be caught only on live moving attachments. And it is desirable that fishing be carried out with periodic wiring nozzles towards the flow of the river.
