Harvesting the crucian on the feeder

In the middle of May, when the weather is finally established, after the first wave of spawning and a short gluten-free, the crucian returns to its permanent habitats. It disperses along the water area of reservoirs, and here and there it can be obtained only with the help of bottom gear.

Where can you find the crucian in the spring?

Of course, it is easier to meet crucian carp in late spring, where the current is either completely absent or minimal. Small and medium-sized crucian gravitates to depths of up to two meters, provided that the water in the reservoir is normally warmed up. A large crucian caravan leads a nomadic life, constantly moving in search of food. And the most interesting places for fishing are islands of water vegetation, mainly reeds or reeds, located at a distance from the shore. Only there the large crucian looses a little vigilance.

Catching the crucian on the bottom rigging

Catching the crucian carp in May on the bottom rigging is the simplest and most reliable way to reach large specimens of this strong fish.

Donku in catching crucian carp is used for a long time. Why is it so effective to catch crucian carp with a donkey with a feeder? The spring crucian is hungry. Any fishing should be accompanied by a bait. The classic feeder, which is used in the classic feeder, allows you to feed the chosen place during each cast. A donut snap invented an incredible variety: the classic feeder, half-pound, "elastic", etc.

The most popular in recent years is catching crucian carp at the feeder. If the overseas feeder is considered a classic equipment with a special trough and a special rod for throwing gear, then in the expanses of the former USSR any donor is called a feeder, where the replaceable tip of the feeder rod is used as the bait detector.

"Nipple"

However, anglers have long come up with different options for feeders. In some regions, catching crucian carp on the "nipple" or on the cork is very popular. In this version of the rig, instead of the classic feeder trough, a lead-weighted lead plug from a plastic bottle is used. It is stuffed with food. Fisherman throws this option tackle in place of fishing and diligently waiting for the bite. The nozzle is in any case in the place of complementary feeding. Such catching the crucian on the feeder gives a positive result in conditions of calm water.

As a food for catching crucian carp with the help of "nipples" usually use a mixture based on steamed pyshenki and pearl barley. As the flavor, vanilla is most often used. At the same hooks, which can include up to eight pieces in the rig, are pushed into the barley. The nozzle is drowned in the resulting feed mixture. And this mixture attracts not only crucian carp, but also other carp. However, the "pacifier" is better to use after the spring ban on fishing related to spawning is canceled. Hooks in this snap uses more than one. Formally, the "pacifier" in this period can be attributed to poaching gear.

Feeder

The situation is more complicated with the catch of crucian carp in the conditions of the current. Carp does not like a strong current. It is a calm, in some way lazy fish. But large specimens, especially in late spring, very often develop rivers with a weak current. Harvesting the crucian on the feeder on the river involves the use of a classic feeder rig, which means a normal feeder feeder. As a fodder, fishers usually use a mixture from a purchased feeder-like mixture of the "feeder" type with a baking powder in the form of wheat and an animal component in the form of a chopped worm or bloodworm.

Only a novice angler can claim that catching a crucian carp is an occupation for unsophisticated newcomers. This is true only for the "crucian" lakes and ponds - reservoirs, where carp occupies a dominant position. More often on such reservoirs it is enough to use float equipment.

Harvesting the crucian on the feeder in conditions where it lives together with numerous food rivals and predators is a difficult task even for those anglers who consider themselves experts.
