Thick and delicious spring perch is subject to a special hunting many anglers. Those who tried it in dried form, throw to catch roach and fully switched to the bleak. Catching this fish by float rod can be considered a classic.
The main focus today will pay tackle for catching any fish at short range. The quality of modern rods and lines is so high that allows to catch not only bleak and minnows, and larger fish.
All daylight hours bleak carried out in search of food. At night, the fish is going under the overhanging above the water bushes and branches of trees or on clean grass from the ground. To say what places prefer bleak day, problematic because the pack is constantly moving over the pond. But not chaotic, but in strict dependence on the wind direction, or rather, in the wind, in pursuit of excitement. When the wind gusts subside, and there comes a calm, the fish leave the surface layers of the water and descend to a depth of a meter and a half. The bleak moves so fast that the angler is hard to understand why after a few bites literally within one minute there is a break in Kleve, sometimes lasting an hour or two.
Despite the greed caused by the high competition in the pack, to catch a lot bleak, especially large ones, is not so simple. Most anglers catch these fish in pre-spawning period. Just to catch a few, albeit large bleaks, special tackle is required. But if you ask for pleasure and to fish effectively — you need to specifically prepare. Preparation is not complicated and ten-year-old child (by the way, the kids fishing for bleak with the right training turns out better than adults).
The bleak spawns relatively late, when the water temperature in the reservoir reaches 16 degrees. Spawning usually begins in mid to late may and continues in June with breaks in two weeks, but this is only true for an average strip of Russia.
The Foundation tackles is easy, short and poilite the rod. Not long because with the help of a flock of bait bleak could relatively easily and quickly “drag” closer to shore. Easy, because she is catching speed. A specialized rod with a length of three meters and weighs about 70 g. Poilite, that is stiff with a soft tip is in order to be able to accurately throw a very light snap and redeem sharp jerks of the fish during its flight on a thin fishing line.
It is best suitable for this purpose the special okleechnuyu fishing rods of carbon fiber. Okleechnaja optimal length of the rod is 3.5 meters, although the use of special baits and disguise allow the spring to successfully catch and shorter rods. I personally in most cases the cost of a rod of length 2-2,5 m, but it also happens that you have to use rods and in length seven meters. However, to catch such a bleak long rod, in my opinion, is advisable only when you’ve found a really big fish up to a weight of 40-80 g, as is the case on lake Senezh.
For attaching the fishing line on the rod there are a few simple ways. Widespread mount the fishing line to the rod through the shock. To the tip of the rod with a regular thread wound cut the hat erasers, 2-3 cm long Place of primocki is covered with glue. At the free end of the rubber bands to tie a single simple knot, which is also glued. Fishing line attached with a loop-noose above the node. To avoid tie-ins, the thin line between a snap and a shock absorber placed cut relatively thick (0.15 mm) fishing line. The loop of the thicker fishing line will come off the shock absorber. This method has not lost relevance, but simply to use the smallest special connector.
Under the snap is commonly understood as the design, consisting of a hook, fishing line, weights, bobber and additional elements, if any. Design okleechnoj snap is designed for what is going to happen fast catching frisky, but medium-sized fish. Quick fishing not because the bleak easy to catch, but because we need to hurry, because the flock can quickly leave.
The bleak prefers the bait, which with low speed is immersed after a fall on the surface of the water. In order to head down slowly, a small sinker. And in order to keep the water in a small sinker, a small float with a small capacity. But if you take too small a float (with a capacity of less than 0.2-0.3 g), then all tooling becomes too light, such that each rod will be able to throw. Easy to throw too hard and snap in a strong wind. However, if you have the opportunity, should strive to be as light as possible, the floats and rigging. In most cases, this factor determines the efficiency of fishing. This statement is rarely taken for granted, but it is.
Important role played by the shape of the float, because it needs to signal a bite since the bait drops on the water and until then, until the lure will sink to a given depth. Bleak in most cases catch the top, and very rarely from a depth of 1-3 m. Usually the descent, that is, the distance from the hook to float, is 20-50 cm, regardless of the depth of the reservoir is a fishing spot. Therefore, the float should be stable, that is, to maintain a vertical position regardless of the excitement of the surface. Bleak responds well to a moving bait, so if no bites, you need to snap podderjivat or to drag, but in order for the fish to bite were visible during all manipulations with a snap, the float should be stable under the transaction.
The best “okleechnuyu” floats unanimously recognized structures of two forms: the drop and cone. Body material okleechnaja float does not play a critical role, because its capacity is very small. Floats successfully be made from balsa, and from the core of thistles, and foam, and bark, and cork, and from the root of the poplar. It is important that the float had a long “keel”, which gives the stability.
As used the thinnest fishing line, the quality weights must be the highest. Quality is determined by the rigidity of the lead and the shape of the incision. Good easy weight clamped on the line with your fingers and just as easily decompressed with a fingernail. Sandwiched sinker when fishing is not moved spontaneously along the wire, but with some effort can be moved along the wire by hand. It is necessary to change the design of the tooling is already in the process of fishing. Oddly enough, but to buy a good small pellet still is not easy, so many anglers continue to do them independently. As the material is equally bad as a soft lead (e.g., cable jackets), and too hard shot (lead with added antimony). It is better to mix at a ratio of approximately 2:1 and melt. The melt, observing all safety precautions (gloves, goggles), with different heights you need in a thin stream to pour out on a sloping glass or plywood, you get a set of balls of different diameter and weight. The balls are not very sharp knife to make cuts to the line. Before you put a sinker on the snap-suggest to insert in the slot of a fishing line diameter 0.10-0.11 mm (i.e., slightly thicker than a snap on design) and clamp the sinker on the line with thumb and forefinger. Now Bob can open and attach it to a snap.
However, I strongly recommend to buy a branded set of weights. For example, I one set of weights with a total weight of 120 grams is enough for six or seven seasons.
The hooks used for catching bleak, require special attention. Experienced angler selects the hook, thinking about matching the shape and size of hook, size and shape of the nozzle or bait, and given the activity of the fish. The size of the fish is secondary. And so at each specific fishing. For catching bleak recommend odnopolie hooks with a spatula, with a forward bend and an elongated shank, with a small goatee or even without it. I use a tournament match. For the maggots is preferable to use hooks № 18-20, and for the bloodworm hooks № 20-22.
