Spring perch shows high activity with the first warming. Catch it at the time as the ice that early spring still holds in many places of the reservoir, and shore spinning.
The striped predator is found almost everywhere, and using the correct fishing tackle can be quite successful even in the rivers near big cities (the same pike or pike-perch in such places will be much capricious and requires more experience). Therefore, in early spring, this fish is a popular object of hunting for lovers of winter fishing, and fishing lures.
According to the latest ice
Sea bass fishing in early spring often starts with fishing for winter gear. With the rise of water temperature and early melting of ice and snow on the shore, and therefore struck in the reservoir flows of oxygen-rich water, the fish gradually emerging from typical gluhozime of torpor, which is seen by the behavior of the usual perch of production and the striped predator.
Before how to catch bass in the spring on winter gear, you need to determine the places where most likely will be able to detect the predator. Usually he follows his prey, and small fish at that time begins to accumulate near the places where the mainstream flow into the tributaries or just the streams of melt water – there is not only more oxygen but also food. In such places, and should be to drill the hole.
The most commonly used this time of year the bait jigs and small perches of bleszinki, at least a little balance weights. The size of the lure this time of year is important as the abdominal cavity of the fish to spawn is Packed with eggs or cream, which prevents the predator to attack larger prey. And a long chase the victim in such circumstances is not, you need to consider when choosing the speed of the transaction. Lead the lure should be rather smooth, with shallow high-frequency tremor.
Suitable gear for early spring
Since early spring, bass are more receptive to smaller lures, tackle needs to be appropriate – spinning should allow to post the lightest of baits or edible rubber.
For such fishing should select the following rods:
- The length of the average from 2.1 to 2.4 meters. For most ponds this will be enough to bait the hook to the Parking lots of bass. If the predator on a large river is far then in such cases, suitable forms with a length of 2.7 meters and more.
- Stroy preferred either fast or superfast if we are talking about fishing not lures or silicone, and the average fishing primarily for rotating or oscillating spinners.
- Test for a spring trip are sufficient in the range of 7 – 10 grams. At this time of the year, the ultralight is the most effective weight range.
- The preferred material is carbon fiber, because when you work with silicone lures this material provides sufficient sensitivity, and when working with the lures to ensure the absence of failures when you jerk transactions.
Coil the vast majority of cases are used instantaneous (although rare fans gear used and the multiplier), range of sizes depending on the dimensions of the spinning – from 1000 to 3000. “Chopper” needs to provide high quality installation of fine cords is usually the kind used for a spring perch. Smooth running reel will provide bearings number of 4-5 or more.
Important! It is better to give preference to models with small spool – so do not have to do hundreds of yards of backing under a thin basic cord.
As posadochnogo material for the perch is great fluorocarbon – it differs sufficient strength and abrasion resistance with almost complete invisibility in the water. However, in some reservoirs because of the abundance of pike posadochnogo the use of this material impossible. If toothy predator often attacks perches of bait, in order to avoid the loss is to replace the leads on the metal (has to be more subtle variants).
Silicone lure
Beginners often wonder what to catch bass in the spring. One of the most efficient, and at the same time easy to learn variants – the silicone in the first place edible. A large variety of shapes and colors of these lures allows you to choose the appropriate option under the specific conditions of fishing. In early spring the most relevant small models with length from 1 to 2 inches. It should pay attention primarily on the silicone without active elements – it can be a variety of worms, slugs, imitations of aquatic insects and their larvae.
In early spring the water is usually still not too muddy (at least lighter than during floods), so when choosing colors, there is a standard pattern – the Sunny weather and clear water, dark lures, muddy water in cloudy weather, bright and noticeable from a distance.
Important! The so-called edible silicone is much more efficient than conventional, not natural rubber. consequently, at low activity of the predator, it is advisable to use such baits.
While it is possible to use all the variety of jig snap-in – mounting of the hinge on the jig-head, drop-shot, Carolina or Texas rigging and other options, in different fishing conditions they be used. This time of year can be less wary of hooks and mount the most effective at hooking hooks – a double and a triple, in order to maximize the performance sluggish when the spring bites.
Crankbaits
Perch fishing in spring can be quite successful, and using these baits. Most of the lures in the box should be large penetration, so as long as the water is not warmed, large bass will stay closer to deep plots, so a great option if the bait will literally draw the spatula along the bottom of the cloud Muti and the distinctive sound will attract predator from far away.
At this time, better to give preference for small baits or large shovel and a large depth (buoyancy – sinking or suspender), you can just sinking models. Pop-up options early in the spring is less relevant.
Spinners
Both rotating and oscillating spinners often recommended for beginners in spinning fishing as the most simple in mastering artificial lures. They work well and on a uniform wiring, but in early spring it is important to control the depth at which there is a spinner, because at this time more interested in the bottom layer.
You should pay attention to the size of these artificial lures. Spinners better choose 00 and 02 number according to the classification of Mepps, spoons, too, is to use a small.
Preference is slow transactions, in which the turntable or kolebalki almost touches the bottom. Periodic pauses can increase the efficiency, since in this moment the spinner will fall in the mud, the rising characteristic of the cloud Muti, attracting perch.
Features tactics
Early spring has a rather high probability to detect the striped predator in the usual places and can fail. To start looking is with the main channel, as long as the water is slightly warmed, most likely, the perch will stand in the depths. A variety of holes, snags, especially if these anomalies are located near the confluence of tributaries or streams of melt water, are very promising places for spring fishing. If at these points there are no takes even at the minimum speed of the transaction, then the striped predator have to look elsewhere.
If the rivers there are bridges or other hydraulic structures, to look for bass are, and there are often flocks of predator stand near the supports. In Sunny weather you can catch striped and on a more shallow areas on sand banks and near the beaches, along the line of growth of the reeds.
Wiring needs to be slow – if it’s a jig, it is drawing on the bottom step with smooth small podbrozny and long pauses, even with periodic attacks of sinkers along the bottom. In the case of wobblers is a light twitching with long pauses, uniform wiring bait with their own game on the lowest possible speed.
