Habits of autumn carp
the basics of carp fishingnot so easy, especially for beginners. Carp can often be found in many water bodies, but catching it is quite problematic. Most often, inexperienced carp weighing from 500 grams to 2 kg fall on the hook. Larger and more experienced carps are always wary and hard to catch. Large individuals from 5 kilograms and very rarely are able to peck at the reservoir we are used to. The most optimal options for finding large carp are fishing in paid water bodies, or in hard-to-reach, little-visited water bodies, which are also extremely rare. Now about the habits of carp and its life in the fall. Carp, like many fish, gains fat in the autumn before the cold weather. Fish change the nature of their behavior, their routes, as well as taste preferences. Starting from September, when a significant cooling and drop in temperature is already felt, carp begins to switch to more colorful and fatty foods. In autumn, carp prefer baits that are odorous and actively soluble in water, we recommend trying the innovative PowerBait bait, which is available in several flavors:

Where to look for carp in autumn
The search for autumn carp is far from the easiest thing to do. In the autumn season, the water cools quickly, and the food base of the reservoir is rapidly deteriorating. In such conditions, the fish is literally able to change its place of parking in a matter of hours. In the daytime, the mustachioed handsome man is used to going out to shallow areas of the reservoir, and in the darker, he goes deeper in search of food and a comfortable temperature. However, this behavior of carp is not constant, so it is worth considering in more detail promising fishing spots in different months.
Carp fishing in early spring in September
September is the most favorable time for carp fishing. September is the so-called “Indian summer” period. This is the period of time when the weather is warm and windy. With such a gesture, nature, as it were, sees off the summer season, in the place of which the first cold nights will come in mid-October. In September, carp take advantage of this weather phenomenon to stock up on fat for the winter. It may well be caught aground in the morning and evening hours, even with float tackle, but for this it is worth choosing a good place. In October, the weather worsens significantly. That is why carp fishing becomes less successful and productive. The fish begins to gain weight significantly and is already looking for colorful food with less interest. In addition to searching, the mustachioed one also has another goal: he needs to find a reliable hole for the winter. It is no longer recommended to fish with float tackle from about October 20th. At this time, the first frosts are approaching, which force sensitive fish to go to the depths and look for food at the bottom in the silt. Only occasionally, on the warmest days, you can try to catch carp on a float in areas with a depth of at least 1 meter. But most of the effort should be directed to deep fishing. Fish should be looked for in channels or bays, the depth of which is not less than 3 meters. November is truly the most unpleasant and fishless time in terms of carp fishing. Float tackle should be postponed, as the first frosts cool the coastal waters very much. In the November days, the main bias should be done specifically for feeder fishing. Successful fishing at this time is possible only at a depth and with the help of the selection of the right gear and When catching autumn carp, special emphasis should be placed on the preparation and selection of the right gear. There are a fairly large number of effective snaps, baits and baits for fishing both in the course and in still water. Consider the main and universal of them. Fishing for carp on the bottom in autumn is especially productive. In addition, donka is the simplest tackle that everyone can make. To do this, you only need a monofilament or braided line with equipment, as well as a reel in the form of a holder and a signaling device.

feeder tackle , the fishing strategy changes slightly. On the feeder there is a real opportunity to catch a larger carp. Such specimens usually fatten alone. The most attractive will be areas of the reservoir, located near the shore and are dumps. Also not bad and deep areas with changeable terrain with a depth of 2 to 5 meters. You can also use a helicopter mount, which is detailed in the photo below: [caption id=”attachment_5834″ align=”aligncenter” width=”

bait, as well as bait. The fish at this time is already finishing with the search for food and smoothly moves to the areas that were prepared for it for wintering. Carp at this time can be caught precisely from such pits or on the border of dumps. There, the fish feel much more comfortable and may well be interested in unobtrusive bait. You can also look for a handsome mustachioed on rivers with an increased current. Until November, this option was not particularly considered, because the current significantly cools the waters of the reservoir. In November, the carp deepens and the surface cold streams of water are not particularly afraid of it. It is worth paying special attention when fishing to areas of the reservoir with a depth of at least 5 meters. [caption id="attachment_8588" align="aligncenter" width="654"]

Float fishing
Float fishing for autumn carp, alas, is not the most productive in comparison with others. This type of fishing is complicated by weather conditions and the mood of the fish in this period. However, the first half of autumn in the period from early September to mid-October is quite capable of showing good results in the form of carp or carps caught in shallow
water . The main thing is to pay special attention to choosing a place and checking gear. For fishing on a float near the shore, you need to choose areas with a depth of 0.7 to 1.5 meters. In this case, it is better to give preference to old gaps in the reeds or places previously overgrown in mud or algae. In such places, carp usually look for food in the form of protein, which is contained in the dying particles of aquatic plants and insects. For a more convenient casting, you need a

What you need to know to successfully catch autumn carp
It’s good to know the following:
- Autumn waters of reservoirs are often transparent, so you should not wear clothes of bright colors for fishing. The camouflage coloring of the jacket and pants in light green or yellow tones would be ideal.
- Noise can also frighten carp, so if the angler is fishing not only with bottom gear, but also with floats, silent bite alarms should be used.
- Float fishing should be carried out in the warm time of the day, when the water has had enough time to warm up. The most optimal time for fishing with a bait ranges from 7 to 14:00, and also from 16:00 to 19:00 in the evening.
- Do not use bait with too strong flavoring. This frightens the fish in the autumn season and forces them to look for other feeding grounds.
- It is worth paying special attention to such bait as boilies . Cake and cake, which work well in the summer, can bore carp, but low-calorie boilies suit them as additional food for gaining mass.
