Ide is a fish from the carp family, which many anglers strive to catch, and for good reason: the average weight of fish caught is 1.5-2 kg, and in rare cases it grows up to 6 kg! Therefore, ide fishing is an incredibly exciting and interesting adventure, especially considering the capricious customs of the fish. In addition, ide can be caught with almost all available tackle, but first things first.
Habits and places for catching the autumn ide
Ideal fishing in the fall has a number of distinctive features. At this time of the year, the fish fatten up before the upcoming wintering, so bites occur quite often. However, the ide continues to be careful in doing so. When fishing with any tackle, except for spinning, be sure to use bait. Already from the first days of
Septemberrather high chances of catching a trophy ide. Large fish this month stand as usual at great depths, but small and medium-sized individuals walk around the reservoir. In September, the ide is found among snags, flooded trees, and bushes. Perspective for fishing are areas of the reservoir where great depth, pits or edges border on thickets of cattail and reeds. On some rivers, as early as September, a “carpet” of leaves forms on the surface of the water – this is the most important place for ide fishing at this time of the year.
Attention! Despite the preserved summer fishing rules, since September it is worth giving preference to animal baits when fishing ide. A bunch of worms or
bloodworms shows itself well
.
Fishing in late autumn is radically different from early fishing. Already from the first days of October, ide activity decreases markedly, although if the weather is warm, it can remain at a high level for the entire half of the month. Regardless of the weather, the ide in
October stands at the exits of the pits and in areas of the reservoir with great depth and flat bottom, not far from natural shelters. The ide becomes inactive and at times begins to ignore even the once favorite baits. You can attract the attention of fish with bait. In
NovemberThe ide energy ends, and it goes to the deepest parts of the reservoir. Now there is very little natural food in the reservoir, so the fish willingly takes almost any bait offered. The chance of catching the trophy is also quite high this month, as the fish have already gained the necessary weight.

The period of activity of the autumn ide
In general, the ide is active throughout the day. In September, a good bite is observed after sunrise and lasts for several hours, after which it dies down. There are sometimes good peaks of activity in the afternoons, then from around 17:00 until sunset. In October and November, ide is most active from about 11 am to evening. Also at night large representatives of the family sometimes hunt.
Attention! Quiet periods are especially common in November.
Influence of weather on biting
Weather is an important factor in ide biting. For example, he loves rain and is very active during precipitation. A sharp drop in atmospheric pressure forces the ide to go to depth. He stands almost motionless, ceasing to feed, until the blood pressure returns to normal. It has also been observed that ide activity is greatly reduced during the new and full moon. But with the first and last quarter, the opposite happens.
Tackle for autumn ide fishing
Ide is a very interesting fish, as it is caught with almost all available tackle.
Spinning fishing
Fishing ides
in the fall using a spinning rod is a versatile fishing method that allows you to effectively hunt fish both from the shore and from a boat. Fishing with a spinning rod guarantees catching large fish over 700 grams -1 kg – it is this size that ide often reacts to
artificial baits… In both cases (fishing from the shore and from a boat), a rod up to 2.7 m long is enough, the most optimal option is 2.4 m.There is no point in using a longer tackle – if you cannot get the bait to a promising point from the shore, it is better to use a floating craft … It is advisable to choose a fast or fast average rod structure. The test should not exceed 15-21 grams – the ide has a small mouth, so you have to use small and light baits. Most often, rods with a test from 3 to 12 grams are chosen.
when fishing from a boatusually, long casts are not required, and the bait is literally thrown “under the feet”, so it is advisable to grease the reel before fishing to eliminate the possibility of frightening cautious fish by extraneous noise. Regular line or braided line – at the discretion of the angler. In the first case, the thickness should be 0.2-0.25 mm, in the second, no more than 0.15 mm. Ide is a cautious fish, so it is better to refuse to use leashes, the tackle must be neat. But if a pike is found in the reservoir
, then you cannot do without a leash. Small spinners have proven themselves well as catchy lures. It is great if they have yellow or red plumage on a hook.
It’s important to know! Ide does not like the muddy bottom very much, it prefers hard surfaces.
Catching ide on the donk
Bottom tackle for catching ide is especially relevant at the end of autumn – the colder the water becomes, the further the ide goes to the depth. A good rod guarantees long casting. This is usually a medium tuning feeder stick with a soft tip. The optimal length is 2.4 m, which is enough for long enough casts. By increasing the length, you can throw the bait even further, but this can reduce the sensitivity of the tackle. The reel is simple – it has to be strong enough to withstand the resistance of the fish, which can be severe, so the stronger the better.
Attention!
The spool should also lay the line neatly and evenly.
The line itself, as in the case of a spinning rod, should be monofilament in order to facilitate the process of playing fish. Thickness – 0.2-0.25 mm. Regarding the rigs: there is no consensus, the most popular option is the classic rig, which is completed with a sinker that can keep the bait in place.

Sometimes this capricious fish ignores any bait, but as soon as a source of a strong smell appears nearby, it immediately begins to react to them. The mixture itself can be anything. The traditional option is to mix pea porridge or cake with breadcrumbs and soil from a pond, then add flavoring, such as garlic.
It is important to remember that in cold water, odors spread better, so an excessive amount of flavoring is more likely to flush out the fish, despite its love of strong smells.
The best places for fishing : snags, thickets of vegetation bordering on a great depth, eyebrows. After the air temperature drops in November, the ide goes to the pits, the deepest parts of the water bodies.
Best baits : boiled peas, corn, worms, bloodworms, grasshoppers.
Feeder ide fishing in autumn
By adding a feeder to the rig, a classic feeder is obtained. This option is preferable because the bait is supplied with the bait and is in close proximity to it. The angler does not need to sculpt balls and try to get closer to the bait. The rest of the tackle components remain unchanged. An interesting version of the rig is a paternoster:
Float tackle
Float tackle is in great demand among anglers because it is easy to use, but at the same time its performance is comparable to a spinning rod or feeder. For ide fishing on the river, plug or
fly rods are used . In September there will be enough “sticks” up to 6 meters long, but since October it is worth taking a closer look at rods with a length of 8-10 meters. It must be tough and durable. The rig is deaf because the ide does not like fast moving bait. In this case, it is better to use monofilament with a thickness of 0.14-0.15 mm – this will allow better control of the rig during the flow. Floats are chosen pear-shaped or spherical with a long antenna. The carrying capacity of the float should not exceed 4-4.5 g. Copper hook No. 10-12. The leash should be 0.03-0.04 mm thinner than the main line.

- 1 kg of bread crumbs;
- 400 g of cake;
- 400 gr of millet porridge.
All ingredients are mixed with water from the reservoir until a thick, homogeneous consistency is obtained. Places and lures for fishing with a float are identical to the feeder and bottom ones, however, it is easier to catch the “carpets” of leaves with such tackle.
Using live bait tackle
In general, the ide is a peaceful predatory fish, but sometimes it can be caught with live bait. You can equip any tackle for such a bait, then the rigging of the float rod will look like this:
For the donkey:
In winter, girders are successfully used for ide fishing, and in the fall you can try to hunt for this fish with the help of circles. In the classic version, this tackle looks like this.
Catching ide on mugs in autumn [/ caption] They use a fixed type of mugs, but it should be noted right away that this method of fishing is a lottery. If there are pikes in the reservoir, then, most likely,
they will rush to the bait… If this predator is absent, you can sit for several days without a single bite of the ide, so many anglers regard this tackle as a challenge to their skills. Knowing the habits of ide in the fall, it is difficult to remain without a catch. This fish is famous for its capricious nature, and, having caught it, you can safely call yourself an experienced angler.
