ASP is rarely satisfied with a pack hunt, he usually uses every opportunity to stealth (thickets of grass, the ripples in the water, the sun’s position, the direction of flow). The predator gets close to a frolicking flock bleak and makes a rapid sprint throw to the intended victim.
Attempted assaults are often unsuccessful, but ASP makes a “combat turn” and begins slowly to get to the hunting area, with noise and splashes to burst into a flock of fish. The angler in the form of outright violence of a large predator sweet heart skipped a beat in anticipation of a successful hunt. He quickly adjusts the spinning, hanging on a fishing line favorite, the catchability lure and… there it was! The reasons for the unfortunate failure of many inexperienced anglers are rooted in ignorance of the habits of fish and the associated specific features of hunting for it.
In that part of the pond, where the predators found themselves with spikes, it is worth some time to observe the water surface. It appears that “battle” the fish is almost in the same places through strikingly equal time intervals. There may be several. This suggests that each predator has its own territory in strict boundaries on which it runs on the same route. If the visible waters of the hunt a few fish, the picture is more complex, but is quite readable.
The main methods of catching river predators — wiring bait across the jet at different horizons. The depth of the bait depends on its weight and the speed of winding fishing line, its thickness and position of the tip of the spinning rod over the water. Seeing the place where more things going on strikes fattening fish, should stand somewhat above the flow so that the line fish-angler was about 40 degrees with the direction of flow. The bait on the water you need to put some on and upstream from the proposed point of take.
For warm water for the fish to bite the fish usually occur in the upper and middle layers of the water. The bait needs to go as slowly as possible, in an arc crossing the hunting grounds of a predator — this simulates the movement of a weak fish, fighting the current and being easy prey for the fish. To spend thus the bait, so it’s good to “keep up” with low speed of its movement, perhaps long enough spinning from 2.7 to 3.3 meters. PREROLL fishing line on the spool is so fast, just to maintain contact with the bait and not allow it to descend into the lower layers of the water — the lure of playing and is due to the pressure of the water flow on the line. At the last stage of the transaction, when the line stretched along the shore or in the direction of the main jet, the PREROLL should be implemented more actively. There are other methods of catching Chub on the course, but the above is the most loyal and easily mastered even by novice anglers.
If beating the ASP to get close is not possible, something very simple, but very complex in technical terms, the decision — to be able to perform long-distance casting of bait, about 70-90 meters. Moreover, the spoon must lie no farther than 1-2 meters away from the striking fish. This so-called catching “the surge”. A little different from the described method fishing “on the wave” — the promise of the lure slightly forward footprint reaching near the surface of the water by a predator. In this case also required long-distance casting.
Another way to catch fish is to use the affected “areas” in the behavior of the fish. Here the angler usually helps the wind: the agitation of the water surface, especially ripples, greatly affects the external review for fish. Advanced chest deep water the angler can also fall out of view ASP. Experienced anglers skillful use of disguise: patiently waiting for the fish and make casts from behind bushes, boulders and other shelters, as well as from the prone position or sitting.
As for tackle, rod, as mentioned above, it is necessary long (from 2.7 to 3.3 meters), second or third class, that is, they can effectively make long-range and very long cast lures weighing from 10 to 40 grams (2nd class) or from 20 to 80 grams (3rd class). This figure is referred to as test weight and is applied to the butt end of the rod. In addition, these rods are powerful enough to actively oppose a very strong, violent opponent.
For asping commonly used fishing line diameter of 0.20 to 0.25 mm or braid 0,10-0,12 mm. This fishing line is durable enough invisible to fish allows you to easily control the bait in difficult fishing conditions, has a small resistance when you perform far casts. Fishing on a fishing line is only possible with the use of a quality spinning reel with a good friction brake with the transmission ratio of reducer is not less than 1:5. To reduce the resistance of the fishing line when escaping from the spool, if the reel so that it is only 0.5-1.0 mm was below the upper rim of the spool.
Any specific lures for fishing for asps in any situations it is difficult to recommend: in addition to the various conditions of fishing, for every fish pond there are certain addictions to certain baits, which, moreover, can have a noticeable seasonal variation.
Good results in different fishing conditions give spinners with types of petals “Соmet” and “Аglia Long” No. 1 for 3rd, really work well for turntables, Silver Creak, fitted with eccentric core.
For long-distance casting is possible with success to use a narrow spoon lures white (“Snake”), loaded near tee lead-tin solder. Such bait even when a large weight is easy come to the surface. Heavy oscillating spinners were very catchability bait “Kastmaster”, representing a kind of oblique steel cut from a round bar of metal.
With the accumulation of experience spinning hunting in catching fish luck often bring different types of lures. Floating baits can be lowered with the tide to the battlefield predators or to hold under the overhanging above the water bushes, except where asps can be Chub, IDE and pike. From the heavy noise of cranks, which allow you to throw up to 50 meters, when fishing on the big fast rivers is well proven lure type “Rattlin” with a mirrored coating, also will be working a variety of lures of the type the kranks’.
Classic bait in the hunt for ASP for many years was the spinner-turbine “Devon”, but when passing anglers on the thin quality of the line it is now almost out of use. Baubles difficult to manufacture (industrial designs does not work) and balancing, not for the especial benefit of ulovistost and casting distance, but that is very bad, much wrings a thin line.
The bite of the ASP is very sharp, inexperienced anglers, large fish can punt tackle. Below the first rapid roll ASP is not cut thin enough line, the friction brake on the coil should be carefully adjusted in accordance with the tensile load applied to the fishing line. The cut Chub violently resist only at first, then quickly gets tired, falls on the side and calmly gives himself to take the gaff or net.
