Fishing in October: shore and boat fishing, biting calendar

Many anglers are looking forward to October in order to get tackle and go fishing, because the biting of many fish this month is striking in its intensity – they, especially predators, try to get more fat before the coming winter and actively take the proposed baits. But there are also some nuances, without the knowledge of which one cannot count on a good catch.

Features of fishing in October

Autumn is the month when weather conditions force the fish to eat heavily in preparation for the coming cold weather. The tactics and baits habitual over the summer stop working, so fishing in October is a real test of your own abilities. October is good because you can catch almost any type of fish, but the following ones peck best.

What a predatory and peaceful fish is well caught in October and where to catch it – promising places for fishing

In October, you need to look for a predator at a depth. Most often, predatory fish stand in pits, snags, dumps, rifts, curbs and other places with sharp elevation changes. On small rivers, the predator can stand along the border of the reed mace (reeds) and clear water. Usually, such rivulets are so overgrown that in the place where the thickets end, there is already a decent depth.

Important! It is better to catch such places
from a boat , since it is difficult to find where to approach the shore, and it is very easy to lose tackle here.

In October, spinningists use silicone baits [/ caption] In October, the time of activity of predatory fish shifts a lot. If in the summer it begins to feed from the very dawn, then now there is no point in catching before 9 in the morning. In bad weather, the predator can be active only after noon. A good bite lasts until sunset, but bites can occur at night.
In autumn the day is short, spinning fishing can be successful all day long [/ caption] By the end of the month, fish activity is noticeably reduced. The predator can completely ignore the once favorite bait. Short-term bursts of activity fall on fine days and last only a few hours. In October, predators peck well:
pike , pike perch,
perch , burbot. Chub and asp are much worse. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/zhivcovye-snasti/kak-lovit-nalima-osenyu.htm

Fishing for October bream

In October, bream gathers in flocks and is already moving closer to their wintering pits. If the water temperature stays at more than 13 degrees, then it makes sense to use vegetable baits –
peas ,
pearl barley , etc. In colder water, bream prefers something more nutritious, such as:

• maggot ;
• bloodworms ;
• bark beetle;
• earthworm.

Important! Earthworms are especially effective after rains – streams of water wash them into the reservoir, therefore, worms at this time are the usual food supply for bream.

You cannot do without
bait when fishing for bream, it is easy to cook it yourself:

• 0.5 kg of bread crumbs;
• 100 grams of corn flour;
• 100 grams of maggots;
• 100 grams of chopped wheat bran;
• 50 grams of dried daphnia;
• 100 grams of bloodworm;
• 150 grams of liquid bloodworm extract;
• black food coloring.

Dry ingredients must be mixed and slightly moistened with water previously colored with dye. Then the liquid bloodworm extract is added and the ingredients are mixed again. Animal components are added directly to the reservoir in small portions.

Important! For mixing the bait, it is better to use water from the reservoir where the fishing will take place.

You need to look for bream at the exits from the pits, along the edges, as well as in areas with a difficult bottom topography. On shallow streams, you can find bream near clay banks, under which there are deep pools and pits.

Crucian carp

This fish is well caught before the first frost, if the reservoir is deep enough and it has a place to hide. Crucian carp bite lasts a short time after sunrise and at sunset. For fishing, you definitely need bait, the easiest option is to mix breadcrumbs with bloodworms in a 1: 1 ratio and moisten with water from a reservoir. Bait: maggot, worm, bloodworm.

Important! In October, you need to be extremely careful with flavorings. The pungent smell in cold water is more likely to scare away the fish than to attract it.

Autumn carp fishing

Biting carp in October will delight any angler – this is a unique chance to catch a trophy. Like crucian carp, carp hides in deep holes where the water can stay warm for a long time. Best baits: corn, worm, potatoes,
dough . The tackle should be stronger than for other representatives of the aquatic kingdom, but it is important not to overdo it – the water becomes clear in October, and coarse tackle can frighten off cautious fish. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-mirnoj-ryby/karpovaya-rybalka/lovlya-karpa-osenyu.htm

Roach

Fishing for roach in October during the day is a lottery. Today there was a great bite, but tomorrow it will be calm. But at night, the roach is active almost throughout the month. Roach prefers areas of water bodies without a current with a depth of 1.5 to 2 meters. Best baits: steamed wheat, worm, dough.

Fishing in October for spinning

What kind of fish can you fish for spinning in October: pike, pike perch, perch. In October, with a spinning rod, you can count on a good catch of predatory fish. At this time, trophy pikes, walleyes, perches are often caught on the hook. The water temperature is at a comfortable level for fish, aquatic vegetation has died out, depriving peaceful fish of shelter. Special attention is paid to tackle for catching zander. A rod is chosen with a length of 240-270 cm (depending on the reservoir and the type of fishing: from a boat or from the shore) with a test of 5-25 grams. The reel should also be “long-range”, the optimal spool size is 3000-4000 by “Shimano”. It makes no sense to take too thick fishing line, a “thread” that can withstand 5-6 kg will be enough. This is 0.1-0.14 braided diameter.

with a jig.… The vibro-tails of white or silver color are especially effective. However, towards the end of the month, he stops taking them, then you can try to attract the attention of the pike perch with bright colors. It is easy to find pike perch: it usually stands close to the bream flocks. Having found a fish, you will only have to guess with the bait and wiring. Pike perch loves rocky bottom and depth differences. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/spinning/strategiya-i-taktika/lovlya-sudaka-na-dzhig.htm For pike fishing, the tackle is the same as for zander. The only thing is that you definitely need a fluor or soft iron leash, 30-40 cm long. October pike fishing is mainly about using
wobblers and silicone lures, as well as heavy
oscillators . In October, pike is well caught on oscillating spoons. [/ Caption] For wobblers they choose oblong models, 10 cm or more long. It is better to give preference to natural colors. The pike is quite sluggish this month, so the postings should not be harsh. The best option is a uniform average wiring, with short pauses. Experienced anglers can stretch the wire at a distance of 15 meters for 2-3 minutes.

Important! In October, deep diving wobblers must be used for pike fishing.

Specimens over 1 kg are rarely found. A light spinning rod 240 cm with a test of 3-15 grams will be enough for almost any minke. Build fast or fast medium. Traditionally, perch is caught in October with small jig lures imitating fish and worms. Twisters also show good results, but, as practice shows, sometimes in the fall the perch actively throws themselves onto wobblers, even large ones (from 10 cm). Wiring: jig, uniform at medium speed. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/opisanie-povadki/okun-osenyu.htm Autumn Volga – spinning fishing in October, video report: https://youtu.be/xXt1L2Lm2pM

Catching with a feeder

What kind of fish can you catch: bream, crucian carp, carp, roach. Usually the
feeder is used in October for catching bream. The rod is chosen with a length of 3.3-3.5 m with a test of up to 60-80 grams. There are no special requirements for the “stick”, since even cheap models can handle bream. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-mirnoj-ryby/opisanie-i-povadki/plotva-osennyaya.htm But the
reel should be strong enough, 3000-4000 in size. A large spool capacity is needed, since the tackle has to be thrown far from the shore. The optimal thickness of the main line is 0.2-0.25, the leads are 0.1-0.12 mm. The feeder is selected depending on the test of the rod. The classic rig looks like this:

Float tackle

What kind of fish can you catch: perch, pike when using bait bait, crucian carp, roach, bream, carp when using classic tackle. If in summer float tackle can be used almost everywhere, then in October the choice of places is very limited. We have to fish out remote areas of water bodies where schools of fish stand, so it is important to correctly assemble the tackle, which should be “long-range” this month. The rod is selected depending on the size of the reservoir. For example, for small rivers, an ordinary telescopic “stick” with a length of 4 m will suffice, but on large lakes, a rod up to 7 meters is required. The fishing line is selected depending on the fish. For crucian carp, fishing line up to 0.12 mm is enough, for roach 0.1-0.14, for carp – 0.20-0.22 mm. Classic October rigs look like this:

Pike fishing with live bait on float tackle in autumn [/ caption] The tactic of fishing is to find a parking lot for the fish, after which it remains to use the bait moderately so as not to overfeed the fish and feed the bait correctly. The traditional way of fishing in still water is to hold the bait in place with a sinker. However, if you place the weight away from the hook, the bait will sink to the bottom gradually, which can also attract fish.

A few words about other gear

Side nod

This tackle is also called a summer jig, although it is conditional in summer, since it can be used both in spring and autumn. For fishing from the shore, fly rods with a length of 7-8 m are used, and 6 m is enough from a boat. The rod should be as light as possible, without pass rings and a reel seat. As a side nod, they usually choose lavsan guards, no more than 20 cm long. With the help of a mounting tube, the nod is attached to the rod. The rest of the components of the tackle are selected depending on the fish, the classic installation of the tackle looks like this:
What kind of fish you can catch: all types of peaceful fish, as well as perches for a worm.

Mugs

A great option for pike fishing in October. This live bait tackle has established itself as a “savior” when others show mediocre results. Most often, the circle is a piece of foam, 25-30 cm in diameter, in the center of which the antenna is installed, and grooves are made on the sides for winding the fishing line. The tackle looks like this:

Bottom tackle

In October, you can successfully fish both with the
classic “grandfather’s” donkey , consisting of a stick and a reel with a fishing line, and with sophisticated tackle. Donka is used both for catching peaceful fish and for predators. In the first option, it is imperative to complete the tackle with a feeder, but in the second case, it is not needed.

Important! The exception is the catfish, which is well attracted by a feeder full of fish offal.

What kind of fish can you catch: all types of fish. Fishing in October – a video of a large predator biting on a spinning rod with silicone baits: https://youtu.be/IRKLsyZb_n8

Features of weather conditions and their impact on the October fishing

The most important factor affecting fish biting is atmospheric pressure. Fish do not like sudden changes in pressure, especially pike. She becomes lethargic and one cannot count on a good catch. The longer the atmospheric pressure remains stable, the higher the activity of the fish.
Dependence of bite on pressure [/ caption] Precipitation is also an important factor affecting the bite of fish, but not in a positive way, as is commonly believed. In summer, a really cool rain creates favorable conditions for fishing, but in autumn there is no such heat, the air temperature is kept at low levels, and therefore precipitation is more likely to reduce the activity of fish. A light breeze raises ripples on the surface of the water, slightly impairing visibility in the water, so even cautious fish can be caught with rough tackle. Fishing in October can bring a lot of positive emotions. It is difficult to be left without a catch if you choose the right tackle and bait.
