Карасиная рыбалка

Crucian carp is practically the most common fish that lives in the reservoirs of our country. This fish is highly valued in the fishing community for its ease of catching, high population, gastronomic qualities, and the ability to catch almost any time of the year. And if in the summer crucian carp is not picky about baits and gear, so absolutely anyone who wants it can catch it, then autumn is a more difficult time. This article will focus on the autumn fishing for crucian carp.

Habits of autumn carp

Autumn is not the best time for carp fishing. At least this applies to the second half. In the first month of autumn, when the weather is relatively warm and there are no first frosts, as well as during the Indian summer, crucian carp continue to feed near the shore, coming out to the shallows with abundant food. It was at this time that it would be most effective to catch him
on a float fishing rod.. Before the first frosts, which most often come at the end of October, crucian carp need to stock up on a certain amount of fat, because then there will be less and less food in the reservoir. However, by the beginning of autumn, crucian has quite good fat reserves, which he was able to eat off in the summer. For this reason, many crucian carp caught in the fall are belly-bellied and resemble themselves in the spring spawning season. Since crucian carp feed on well-warmed shallows, it is very sensitive and cautious, because in such places in calm weather the water becomes clear, which allows it to see what is happening on the shore. Following the warm September days, in which crucian carp are caught quite well, October comes with its first frosts. At this time, the crucian ceases to be active and goes to the depth. Generally, fishing can be successful until the first half of October, but then everything will depend on weather conditions. By the second half of autumn, crucian carp begins to move away from its usual feeding places to deeper ones. That is why fishing on a float at the end of October and November loses its meaning. Only occasionally, on the warmest and calmest days, you can try to catch crucian carp in coastal areas, but you should remember that it comes out to feed only in the middle of the day and before the first evening signs.

After the crucian goes to the depth, donks and feeders are used. They help a lot in such situations, but at the same time, crucian carp is still not so active, so you should not expect great results from the October and November feeders. Already in mid-November, most crucians strive to find a good wintering hole for themselves, in which they will wait out the cold.

But at the same time, there are still cases when individual specimens continue to gain weight. Such individuals are also cautious and rarely go to shallow water areas, but the chance to wake up their appetite increases if you choose the right bait, bait and tackle, which we will talk about later, and also correctly notice any weather conditions. If there is a light rain on the street that saturates the water with oxygen, or vice versa, the warm sun bakes on the street, then fishing has a place to be. But if there is a lingering rain, muddying the water, or there are significant frosts with cloudy weather, then there is no need to waste time.

Where to look for crucian carp in the fall and the features of its behavior and movement around the reservoir

Despite the fact that autumn is a rather controversial time for catching crucian carp, you can still catch it if you know the right places. In order to make the right choice of a fishing place, you need to take into account the weather conditions, the month of fishing, the reservoir, as well as the tackle that is being fished. Consider the most common places where crucian carp stay in different months.

September and crucian

At this time, crucian carp are still actively exploring shallow areas, and are also successfully caught on float gear. In September, crucian carp had not yet eaten enough before the cold weather and therefore continues to do so in areas of the reservoir rich in food. In addition to shallow areas from 1 to 1.5 meters, it also sometimes goes to deeper areas. There, too, there is something to profit from, as well as to relax in the middle of the day and at night. When choosing a fishing spot in September, you need to pay attention to areas with thinning algae, reed gaps, as well as rifts if fishing is carried out on the bottom.

Fishing in October

In October, carp fishing takes on a slightly different character, so the fishing spots will also change. Also in October it is very important to pay attention to the weather. If the day is warm and sunny, and shallow areas warm up quite well, then it makes sense to try fishing with float tackle. [caption id="attachment_2817" align="aligncenter" width="660"]

In October, feeder and bottom fishing becomes more important, because the fish move away from the shore, so on such cold days, attention should be focused on deep areas. It is recommended to look for crucian carp in areas of dumps with a moderate current or stagnant water. If we are talking about small ponds or rivers with abundant vegetation, then it is worth looking for deeper and quieter places for float fishing and deep places for feeder and bottom fishing. At this time, crucian carp can also roam in pitted areas, but, as a rule, such areas are located in some current, therefore, you should get an inertialess reel if fishing is carried out on a float rod.

November crucian

Perhaps November is the worst month for carp fishing. At this time, you can hardly meet him near the shore. The fish finished their autumn zhor, and therefore most of the crucian carp went to the depths. Therefore, it makes sense to try to fish on a float only until the end of the first half of November – and then biting on a float tackle at this time is a huge rarity. In November, it is worth trying to fish in deep, remote areas from the coast. First of all, you should pay attention to depths from 3 to 8 meters. It is there that the fish retains at least some activity. It is also not bad to try to catch crucian carp in middle rivers in November, the relief of which is indented. Pits, dumps, and also channels contain a huge amount of fish before wintering. Therefore, when fishing for crucian carp, there is a chance to catch a good specimen of white fish or catfish.

What gear, bait baits are used for autumn crucian carp?

The selection of tackle for catching crucian carp in the fall is an important matter. In the autumn, crucian carp is lethargic, fastidious and cautious, so preparation should be treated with particular care. Consider various sets of gear and bait / nozzles for catching crucian carp in the fall.

Donka

Catching crucian carp in the fall is the right decision, which is quite capable of bringing certain results. Crucian at depth is less cautious and not so shy of sounds, so special emphasis should be placed on bait and bait, which will be discussed below. But first you need to collect the most catchy tackle for fishing. [caption id="attachment_5915" align="aligncenter" width="530"]
Fishing for crucian carp in autumn in September, October and NovemberBottom tackle [/ caption] Of course, the donka and the feeder are very similar in purpose and handling. First of all, a donkey is understood as the simplest feeder tackle designed for fishing over long distances. Most often, the donk is represented by some holder of a tackle-stick or a store-type stand, and the tackle itself includes a fishing line, a load in the form of a feeder or load stuffed with food, as well as a hook. [caption id="attachment_7830" align="aligncenter" width="660"]

Hooks of large size will be useless in the fall, so number 10-14 is ideal. The fishing line is not leashes 0.1-0.14, the main monoline is 0.3 in diameter, the line is 0.1-0.12 mm in diameter. It makes no sense to throw a donka near the shore, so you should catch areas remote from the shore. Use animal bait as bait. The ideal option would be
dung worms ,
bloodworm or
maggot. [caption id="attachment_9573" align="aligncenter" width="578"]

feeder fishing

Feeder fishing is very similar to bottom fishing. But here it is necessary to remember the more complex structure of the feeder than the donks. The ideal option would be a rod from 2.10 meters to 4 meters, because you will have to cast long distances. The classic option is a spinning reel that can hold at least 100 meters of fishing line or braid. By the way, fishing line is suitable from 0.18 to 0.25 mm, and braid from 0.12 to 0.20 mm.

Hooks should also be medium, slightly larger than on a float, because at depth there is a chance to catch larger fish. When the tackle is assembled, it is necessary to consider the tactics of fishing. With the help of a feeder, it is also worth catching distant areas, not paying attention to shallow areas. It is worth noting that with the help of a feeder, you can cast the bait further and more accurately, so you should choose deep rifts, dumps and bays. In cold autumn water, crucian prefer baits that are odorous and actively soluble in water, we recommend trying the innovative PowerBait nozzle, which is available in several flavors:

Autumn crucian carp is not so active, therefore, when catching, even the most careful bites should be taken as a sign before hooking. For the feeder, the same baits are used as for the donkey. An animal bait sandwich is ideal: worm, bloodworm, maggot. [caption id="attachment_6462" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Float rod as a tackle for carp fishing

Float fishing in the autumn months is inferior to bottom and feeder fishing in terms of efficiency. To catch a cautious carp, you need to pay special attention to the assembly of float gear. When fishing near the shore, you should also cast the bait as far as possible. The ideal option would be a rod from 5 meters. The reel can be set both inertial and inertialess, but in the second case, you can make longer casts. The fishing line should also be no more than 0.20 mm in diameter. Floats should be chosen light, because fishing will be carried out in quiet parts of the reservoir and the current should not affect fishing in any way. Hooks are placed small, less than on the feeder. Approximately fit number 5-8.

It should be remembered that crucian carp near the shore are shy, so casting should be quiet and careful. Despite the fact that autumn is not the most pleasant time of the year for catching crucian carp, it still swims among reeds, cattail, and thinning algae during its coastal feeding. It is these places that should be chosen for fishing, especially when fishing for crucian carp in early autumn in September.

Even the slightest twitching of the float can mean a bite of a cautious crucian, so it is necessary to do the hooking in time. As a bait, a sandwich of a red worm and a maggot shows itself well, or, on the contrary, a white worm and a bloodworm. It is worth planting smaller portions of bait than when planting at other times of the year. Carp in autumn loves smaller food. [caption id="attachment_9575" align="aligncenter" width="603"]

barleyor wheat porridge, then, removing it, let it cool. After that, a small amount of boiled or canned corn is added. After that, the store base is poured, which should be from the category of sweet baits. If desired, you can add chopped worms or flour to make the bait thicker.
