How to catch pike perch on spinning – the best ways to fish

Pike perch is a rather cautious fish, which is not so easy to catch. For beginners, it becomes a coveted trophy. Many people are interested in how to catch zander on spinning. What are the subtleties and tricks. They really are, and in order for fishing to bring pleasure, it is necessary to prepare theoretically.

Habitat

Pike perch is found in fresh water bodies (rivers, lakes, reservoirs) and is found in the Azov and Caspian Seas. Prefers deep and clear water. Very sensitive to pollution.

During the feeding period, it can approach the shallows and rise to the upper thickness, where it hunts for fry. Small individuals stay in flocks, and with age they prefer a solitary lifestyle. Large fish can reach a weight of 12 kg, but they are much more difficult to catch. Too careful. Mostly the catch consists of individuals of 2 – 3 kg.

Pike perch grows quite quickly. A year later, he can weigh more than one kilogram.

Predominantly, the predator lives in the lower layers of the reservoir (closer to the bottom) and can float to the surface or in shallow water for fry and during the spawning period. He likes to be in various whirlpools, pits, rifts and other reliefs.

At the end of summer and beginning of autumn, the fish leaves the summer camps and goes to the winter hut. In cold periods, pike perch goes to the bottom in holes, gathering in large flocks. Water thickets are not particularly welcome. But small individuals can be found in such areas. Also, the predator does not like reservoirs with a large abundance of silt.

How to choose a spinning rod for catching zander

When choosing a spinning rod, it is important to pay attention to some factors:

  1. A pond where it is planned to catch pike perch on spinning. It is necessary to take into account the size of the water area, depth, current strength.
  2. Dimensions and weight of baits to be used.
  3. How fishing will be carried out (from the shore or boat).
  4. The size of the prey.

Also, do not forget about the preferences of pike perch, such as clear water, depth differences, weather. All this directly affects the correct choice of spinning.

If you look from the point of view of reliability, then pay attention to spinning rods of ultra-fast action. They are distinguished by good endurance under loads.

For long casts, it is recommended to use fast action spinning rods. The upper part of the rod is the most flexible, which allows you to send the bait to a longer distance.

At the same time, both types are quite sensitive, which will significantly reduce the number of idle cuts. Some fishermen use parabolic nets. But they complain about their poor sensitivity. But the casting distance is superior to other fishing rods.

The coil is an important accessory and the choice also depends on many factors:

  1. Coil size. It should harmoniously fit into the fishing tackle. The elongated shape of the spool will allow you to cast the bait over longer distances, so the recommended line capacity should be at least 200 m. Diameter – 0,4 cm. Thinner 0,3 – 0,35 cm is allowed, but it must be of good quality.
  2. Material. This depends on the weight of the reel. The most ideal option would be a carbon fiber product. It is lightweight and strong enough.
  3. The line layer is recommended to install the Twist Buster.
  4. The presence of spherical bearings. Thanks to them, the breath of the coil will be smoother.

It is logical to use a braid on a large individual, but the excessive caution of a predator can stop him from attacking, so it is more efficient to purchase a transparent and reliable fishing line. In addition, thick tackle does not transmit bite well and negatively affects the game.

Jig baits, wobblers and spinners for zander

A jig is a type of fishing, which consists in a loaded spout with a lead sinker. Almost any bait is used, but more preference for pike perch is given to silicone baits. The bait can be in the form:

  • vibrotail;
  • aranja;
  • vierme;
  • cancer;
  • larvele

The first two options are most commonly used. Slugs require some skill in handling and are not always suitable for beginners, but a vibrotail is a good option.

Wobblers for Sudak

The predator prefers prey with a more aggressive form, which means that the bait must match it. The recommended size of the wobbler is 50 – 110 mm. The level of penetration will depend on the time of year. But most often these are deep-sea wobblers. Lures with a noise chamber are well suited for hunting at night.

Spinners for zander

This product follows the same principle as the previous bait. The shape should be narrowed and elongated. In the summer, it is recommended to use a horizontal lure, but you can also use a universal one. During this period, pike perch is more active.

Technique for catching zander on spinning

As mentioned above, pike perch is a very cautious predator. There have been many cases when the fishermen did not notice the bite, and the silicone tail turned out to be bitten off. Much still depends on the correct location of the gear in the water.

To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to keep the spinning at an angle of 45 degrees during wiring and not lose sight of the tip of the rod. Thus, it is impossible to miss a bite.

As the bait sinks to the bottom, the tip of the spinning rod will loosen and you can start wiring. If you notice twitching of the tip or weakening of the fishing line, this is a signal to hook. The cutting must be done sharply and strongly.

In most cases, zander attacks during pauses. Then you will feel a sharp blow or hook. But the main attention should be paid to the tip of the rod. You can very rarely feel with your hand that a predator is taking the bait.

Fishing for zander in different seasons

Hunting for fish differs depending on the season. This is influenced by many factors associated with the habits of the individual.

Catching pike perch on a spinning rod in winter

The peculiarity of winter fishing is to find the places where the fish stand. Large individuals live alone. They are not willing to spend energy on an attack and try to be more in ambush. To find a predator, you have to walk a single kilometer. Passed, drilled, flashed and moving on. In winter, pike perch responds better to vertical baubles and balancers. It is difficult to lure fish in winter. It is necessary to throw the bait almost under the nose.

The predator is more active at night and early in the morning. He goes hunting for fry in shallow water. But you still have to spend a lot of effort on the search. You can simplify the search process with the help of an echo sounder, and use the navigator to set the parking detection point. Often pike perch is in the same places.

Pike perch chooses deep places in winter. But this does not mean that you need to find the deepest place. It is much more interesting to find places with an interesting relief (bumps, snags, etc.).

 Favorite parking spots:

  • sprancene;
  • plateau;
  • cobblers;
  • umflaturi.

It should also be borne in mind that this species loves clean water saturated with oxygen. It will not live in muddy places. For this hasty fishing, it is better to work in a team. Thus, the search circle will be wider and success will be higher. We lower the spinner and make from seven to ten postings. If there is no bite, then we move on.

Usually 10 – 20 holes are made at once at a distance of 15 – 20 meters. Just one hole can make fishing successful if you stumble upon a flock. At night, it is worth looking in small areas. It must be borne in mind that there should be a hole nearby. Pike perch is not a tourist and will definitely return to the parking lot.

Pescuitul de primăvară la lican

The spring period is characterized by muddy water, which means you want to have noise baits. A good option are front-loaded turntables. Active zhor in fish begins in mid-April and lasts about a month. At this time, you can get a good specimen for spinning.

You can open the season after the ice melts. You can start fishing with spinning as soon as water begins to arrive in the reservoir. This is an important point, since the water will be collected, the activity of the fish will subside. As a bait at this time, silicone nozzles and oscillating baubles are effective.

As soon as a bite occurs, we stop in this area. If after several bites there is no result, then you can change the place. But after a while it is worth returning here. Don’t be afraid to experiment with lures (size, color and weight).

Of the wobblers, Jackall Chubby proved to be the best. The recommended size is 5 – 7 cm. The color is natural, and the shape is oblong. Such equipment is used on clean rivers with a strong current.

What does pike perch peck at in the summer

Pike perch in June, after the spawning period, goes into a state of rest. It becomes catch even weighing half a kilogram. You can not even remember about large fish at all.

Fishing for pike perch in June is carried out with both artificial and natural baits. The main food is fry. Accordingly, resin will be:

  • sablat
  • babuşcă;
  • Caras;
  • sumbru;
  • clean;
  • river lamprey.

If we consider artificial baits, then they should be similar to the above fish. In the summer, wobblers are more effective. At night, the bite begins on frogs and crayfish.

Pike perch in the fall

In the off-season, it is better to choose a long and stiff rod for coastal fishing. You can also use a short rod if you hunt from a boat. Various types of baits are taken as bait. Pike perch are also caught on live bait. But it is better for vibrotails, twisters and other soft baits.

Wiring is an important factor. Even the most catchy bait may not work if the bait is not presented correctly. It should be closer to the bottom, periodically rising by 25 cm.

Recommended wiring: uniform, stepped, demolition. At the same time, it is very important to keep silence, especially if you went out to hunt at night. Do not forget about the excessive caution of the fish.
