Bait on the carp with your own hands. What bait to catch carp in August?

Karpfishing, and in our opinion - carp fishing is a fascinating activity, gathering an increasing number of domestic fishermen under its banners. There are many reasons for this interest, but the main one is the opportunity to get a wonderful trophy, which every self-respecting fisherman will be proud of.

Fish dreams

It is no secret that these barbel can grow to truly gigantic sizes (there are cases of carp catching over 100 kilograms, but officially registered in the record book - just over 40). Weight of average carp usually ranges from 5 to 10, which, you will agree, is also not bad for a dream fish. But in today's article we will talk not about the representatives of the family, but about what they are best to catch on carp fishing. About what bait on carp is the most popular, about culinary delights for this impressive size and thick fish.

Freshwater Piglet

This is how some people call carp. Yes, it is quite voracious, and it is this quality that directly affects its size and thickness. And these barbels live (unless, of course, they fall on the rigging of a successful fisherman) for a long time - up to 50 years, so there is much to grow and grow fat. But to think that any bait on carp will be swallowed by greed, is wrong. Firstly, this fish usually shows maximum caution and suspicion. And secondly, gluttony does not cancel fastidiousness. That's why inveterate carpels pay so much attention to the fact that the bait for carp was as varied as possible and corresponded to this reservoir and the time of the year. In addition, to bait interested in fish, it is also required to properly nurse. In general, many fishermen believe that the correctly selected bait, made according to all the rules, and a well-selected bait on hooks - the pledge of catch fishing.

Bait for carp. Classification

By their nature are different: animals, plant (natural) and artificial bait, manufactured by industry or with their own hands. Let's look at each option carefully.

Worms

The natural diet of carp is quite varied. He is an omnivore. Recently, such bait on carp, like a worm, has been undeservedly forgotten by fishermen, who are fond of modern attachments, for example - boilies. And absolutely in vain! After all, according to many characteristics, an ordinary worm is nutritious and preferable for these fish. You can use dung or rain. Especially effective is a similar bait for carp at bottom fishing or in large reservoirs, where the fish migrate. The secret of the fisherman: in order for the worm to live on the hook for a long time, it should be pierced less, using a bundle or back, and so that it does not slip off the hook, it can be fixed with a maggots lint on the forearm.

Larvae

By the way, about the larvae. They are also the natural food of carp, since they enter the body of water naturally. Hoarfrost and bloodworm are the most commonly used, especially before the appearance of artificial baits in the domestic market. The appearance of these baits does not cause suspicion among cautious fish. The only drawback is the ability to attract small things. These kinds of larvae can be used as separate nozzles, putting several pieces on the hook. And you can use it as a supplement to other baits. They are best for bottom fishing.

Shells

Perlovitsy and mussels are common in most reservoirs, and they are known as a pretty good nozzle to many fishermen. It is not difficult to collect them directly in the reservoir itself. Especially there are many of them on rocks and flooded decks or branches. Then the shells in a bucket of water can stay for a day without any damage to their freshness. Before putting on the hook, we cut the blade with a knife, open the shell and cut out the meat. We use it as a dish suggested by the fish.

Snails

Coils and ponds are widespread, but forgotten by fishermen. Snails can be found in summer at the surface or on branches slightly flooded in water. It should be noted that these inhabitants of water bodies are an integral part of the carp menu. And since they are not used for fishing, the fish treat them without any fear. Suitable most for bottom fishing. To put on a snail it is necessary for the shell, piercing it with a hook.

Vegetable attachments

Probably, none of the carpfishers will tell you what is the best bait for carp. But many anglers prefer to use vegetable attachments to hooks. Corn and peas, pearl barley and wheat groats, semolina, bread, dough. All these components are traditionally used as bait for carp and crucian carp. The main thing: every variety must be properly prepared, then the giant will certainly taste it.

Corn

Often it is used for fishing in the form of canned food. Sweet, soft (but quite structural, to fit well on hooks), grains attract carp with both taste and smell. It does not even require the introduction of additional fragrances, as in the case, for example, with a dough or bread. So, in the question of what bait to catch carp, many choose this option. But you can add flavoring with a dye (natural food, in no way chemical), if there is such a desire. Add usually directly to a jar of canned food that has just been opened, or make the data of the body movement at home, preparing ahead of time for fishing.

Someone cooks cooked corn on their own. But here the choice is influenced by the main drawback: a long cooking time for carp fishing. Therefore, still many choose a canned option.

Peas

Peas, well steamed, is an excellent treat for carp. Frankly speaking, they are very indifferent to such a dish. And therefore, especially for provincial carpets, peas are the best bait for carp, with their own hands also made and simple (when there is no possibility or means to get new-fangled boilies). The main thing is the correctness of preparation, but here there are secrets.

1. Soak in water at room temperature for up to 8 hours.
2. Cook in a saucepan for at least an hour (if there is a pressure cooker - 15-25 minutes).
3. Drying outdoors is not less than half an hour.

After this pea grains can be flavored and put on a hook. But you can do without the flavor: carp scent like peas, and he senses it from a distance, from a distance of more than 100 meters.

Dough

This bait is most in demand when catching carp on the so-called pacifier. Here, according to the rules of fishing, a viscous, luring bait is needed. Dough is the best option. It can be prepared from one or more types of cereals and flour. For example, mastyrka or hominy (using flour and semolina).

Wheat, pearl barley

Steamed in a thermos, flavored with aniseed drops, these cereals are the best nozzle, according to some fishermen. Especially because these dishes are natural for carp and actively enter the diet (get into the waterways in a natural way, where carp eat them), the way of cooking is simple: we put a glass of barley into a large thermos, pour half a steep boiling water and close tightly, leaving for the night. Just in time for an early dawn, cooked bait will rip - you can catch it. The grain is steamed and soft, but the upper shell is more or less solid, which makes it possible to attach several pieces to the hook without problems.

Bread

This is quite affordable and catchy bait. Wheat or rye - it attracts carp with its characteristic aroma and taste. Experienced anglers say that such hooks are best suited when carp starts bubbles and walks almost at the surface. Bread is also used on heavily stocked reservoirs, where the density of the cold-blooded is rather high. Some anglers use a variant called a "floating crust" when a crust is placed on the unloaded hook, attracting fish.

Boyle

This imported invention was to the liking of many domestic fishermen. Boyles are quite large, which allows you to exclude bites of small things and wait for a serious, large trophy. Many ingredients are used to make boilies. Among the most popular: corn and soy flour, semolina, eggs, flavoring substances. You can get both floating and bottom boilies, depending on their composition. The dimensions of the nozzle are selected experimentally for each reservoir. For such catching, the corresponding bait is required.

Pellets (pellets)

Modern hard bait eliminates the attack of small fry and is attached with special silicone rings. There are also soft granules created for hooks.

Fishing in August

The carp bait in August also has its own peculiarities and nuances. At the end of summer, barbel is actively fed, and it is desirable that the mixture for pre-fattening includes a larger fraction. In the course go homemade cereal and loose shops. In lure usually add a fairly large amount of that attachment, which will be used for fishing. The feeding ball should disintegrate when approaching the bottom, creating a nutrient suspension. So for some time it will be possible to detain a flock of carp. What type of bait does carp catch best in August? From modern: boilies and granules. From vegetable: corn canned, peas, pearl barley, dough, potatoes, slightly undercooked, makuha (pressed sunflower cake). If you have poorly studied the reservoir, where you are going to catch carp, then the choice of bait should be maximum, so that it is possible to try different options if the fish does not peck. And you need to keep a worm and spaghera in reserve - suddenly the vegetable dishes of carp have already become boring (this happens, especially in places where water bodies approach fields with crops).
