Kaliningrad Bay: fishing for zander

Kaliningrad Bay is rich in fish. It is represented in a pond in 50 varieties. There are a lot of pike-perch, especially closer to the sea. But this fish has migration periods. At the end of February the pike perch gathers in the Baltiysk area. In December the fish prefers the deeper places of the bay: pits, cusps and other bottom irregularities.

What gear is caught by a pike perch?

Sudak is the celebrity of the Kaliningrad Gulf. This is one of the varieties of fish that are found in the pond in large quantities. Zander is caught on a simple winter fishing rod, which should have a comfortable handle and a hard six. The line should be at least 0.35 mm in diameter, and a float with a small positive buoyancy. The bait is selected yellow or white (ideal - silver), with a large hook.

Nozzles for pike-perch

It is best to go to the Kaliningrad Gulf for pikeperch. The best nozzle for this fish is fresh smelt. If it is small, it is inserted in its entirety, large - by pieces. Most of all pike perch like the head of smelt. If it is not available, then you can use it for bait of Baltic herring or sprat. Some fishermen also plant capelin.

In what kind of weather is caught pike perch?

On the Kaliningrad Bay, in which pike perch is caught, it is better to come to warm, but overcast weather. The wind should blow in the west direction. In such weather, pike perch is most active. If the pressure rose sharply, then catching fish becomes problematic. But the biting will be good if the east wind blows, and the frost has settled for a long time. In a bright sun, the pike-perch is caught badly. Such weather affects this fish depressingly. The pike perch starts to look for a shadow and stays there until the sun disappears.

How to choose a place for fishing?

Catching of pike perch in the Kaliningrad Bay has its own peculiarities. Drilling ice is better than five meters from already caught fish. Two holes are broken in diameter from 25 to 30 centimeters. The distance between them should not be less than one meter. Wells are cleared of ice, and fishing rods are thrown.

If the fisherman is not going to move to another place, then the holes can be made nearby more. The depth should be set approximately in the region of 5 to 15 centimeters from the bottom. From the tip of the fishing rod to the float should be a distance of at least 30 cm.

If at the first hour there was at least one bite, then changing the place does not make sense, here and so is the "path" of pike perch. If time is wasted, and next to the seated caught fish, it is better to move away. If the surrounding people did not have a bite, then it is definitely worth changing the place of fishing.

How to catch zander?

Kaliningrad Bay is rich in pike perch. Initially, it is necessary to disguise yourself. If the pike perch sees a standing fisherman, it will not take the bait and go into the bay. Therefore, this fish is best caught with stones. Thus the fisherman should sit. During catching, the spoon bait periodically rises, but not more than 30 centimeters.

Casts are made in different directions. If the biting is sluggish, then the height is reduced to 15 cm. Pauses between lifting can be different. But they become more frequent after the first bite. Its classic version occurs at a time when the lure comes down. Pike perch is well caught and standing up. In this case, first a small blow follows, then the float abruptly sinks.

Then it rises to the surface of the water and lies down. Cutting in the moments of biting should be short and sharp, immediately turning into vyvazhivanie. In this case, it is impossible to accelerate, since in this case the pikeperch is simply driven under the ice. And if you give the slack, then the fish will go away, since the spoon-bait will fall out of the mouth.

After catching a pike perch for a while, the bite stops. This fish is so strongly resisted that it frightens off the brethren. At the same time, the zander are very cautious. Even blowing a stone against a stone can cause the fish to stop being caught for a while. Clothing for camouflage is better to choose a soft, blue-green shades.
