Fishing with a boat offers many advantages over fishing from the shore. First of all, this is the ability to swim in hard-to-reach areas and catch large areas.
One of the effective ways of fishing is catching pike perch from a boat. Thus, you can pull out a fairly large predator (from 5 kg). Consider the main points of this method of fishing.
Where and when is it better to catch walleye in a plumb line
The best reservoirs are bays and reservoirs. The main food base of zander accumulates in the bays. The main thing is that the water is clean, and the ground is rocky or sandy. Often, fishermen catch pike perch in a plumb line on the Volga. The river is distinguished by an abundance of fanged predator.
The best place would be rocky shoals. Not necessarily located near the shore. The depth usually in such places reaches 3-12 m, and the area can be quite large, up to several kilometers. Pike perch chooses places with differences in depth (pits, edges, depressions).
You can determine the estimated location of the predator by looking at the seagulls. The fry that the fanged one feeds on often stay near the surface of the water. Thus, attracting the attention of winged predators. You can also meet walleye there. An echo sounder also helps in the search.
The best time for plumb fishing is autumn, namely October. At this time, the fanged one lives at great depths, hiding in pits. Summer is the least catchy time of the year. During the day, it is almost impossible to fish out pike perch.
The best weather for sheer walleye fishing
In bad weather, the fish are caught weakly, but the presence of waves contributes to the departure of the food base of pike perch to the depths. Thus activating the predator. It is just before a storm that the fanged one tries to stay at the very bottom. In calm, hot weather, fishing will not bring the desired effect. Therefore, sheer fishing is mainly carried out in the autumn. Vibrotails and twisters are well suited as bait. Recommended size from 10 cm.
Also, pike perch is sensitive to lunar phases and temperature conditions. In addition to autumn, it attacks well in the spring during the pre-spawning period. Also, its behavior is affected by pressure drops and lighting. Sometimes a predator can predict weather changes in two days.
Which boat will be comfortable
For sheer fishing, there are certain preferences regarding the watercraft. The best option would be “kazanka” and “progress”, due to good stability on the waves. The presence of a motor is also an important factor.
Rubber boats on oars will be less practical and safer. Especially in strong winds. In addition, the craft must have a good weight, which gum does not have. This is not only ineffective, but also dangerous, since fishing is done while standing. Based on the above, it is advisable to use a heavy boat that holds the wave well as a watercraft.
Pike perch tackle
Tackle for pike perch from a boat is quite simple to install and use. Even a beginner will cope.
Comprises:
- Short rod 1-1,9 m with an average test of 20 gr;
- Coils (more convenient inertial);
- Monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0,4 mm (with a less thin bait game will be less interesting);
- Nozzles (vertical spinners 5-7 cm show themselves better).
Also, spinning rods, bottom gear and even a float fishing rod are used for pike perch.
Not bad shows itself such a specific equipment as a branch leash. Especially if the bait is live bait.
Spinner for sheer lure from a boat
For these purposes, heavy overall baubles are often used. It is these baits that are most effective at great depths. The spinner should be delivered as quickly as possible to the desired depth, so weight is essential.
Particular attention should be paid when choosing, and the shape of the nozzle. With curves will slowly sink, even despite the heavy weight. In addition, with a strong current, control over depth worsens. This increases the likelihood of hooking. Straight lines are the best option.
Lures for zander fishing
Spinners are mainly used. They have been described above. For plumb fishing, balancers are also used – a metal or plastic bait made in the shape of a fish. A fishing line is attached to the dorsal part, and blades are attached to the tail. The tee is installed on the abdominal cavity. Single hooks are fixed in the head and tail. In the water column, it is located in a horizontal position and imitates a wounded fish. Such a bait can attract the attention of even a lazy predator.
Heavy balancers work well in strong currents. Medium weight bait can be equipped with additional weight.
Another interesting bait is the jig. With its help, it is good to catch large areas and a wide variety of soil areas (pits, dumps, edges, etc.). Some anglers use ratlins. They also differ in catchability when fishing in a plumb line.
You can also catch pike perch with soft lures made of wood, rubber, and plastic. But silicone vibrotails are considered the best. They must be equipped with cargo. Otherwise, soft bait will not sink.
Dead fish are good at luring predators. Usually they are cut into pieces. Such bait is able to fish pike perch from a deep hole. If a specific smell comes from the meat, then this is even for the better.
What are the best baits to use
Despite the wide variety of artificial baits, nothing can replace a live fish. Firstly, it gives out an interesting game, which is worthy of a predator. Secondly, it emits a natural smell.
The best live bait option is considered to be a fish caught in the same reservoir where pike perch lives. But still, bleak is considered a favorite prey. The bait is attached to the hook just before casting, and stored in a container of water. It is important that the live bait remains active for a long time. The second preferred fish will be sprat.
Lures for winter pike perch fishing
A feature of winter fishing is the presence of ice cover. Fishing is carried out through the holes. They are made in advance (the day before fishing, so as not to frighten off the zander). You can catch on all available baits (baits, balancers, soft baits and pieces of fish). The latter show the best catchability.
Tactics and technique of fishing
Fishing for walleye is pretty easy. We go out on the boat to the feeding place of the predator, unwind the tackle and lower the bait into the water. Waiting for the bottom to touch. You can determine by the sag of the fishing line. Then we raise the bait by 5-6 cm, making one or two turns with the coil.
Now let’s get to glittering. It looks like this, with a sharp wave upwards to the side, we raise the lure and let it fall smoothly. We wait a short pause and repeat the process.
The boat is currently drifting. It is not worth anchoring the boat. It can negatively affect the game of the bait. Pike perch usually attacks at the moment of lowering the nozzle to the bottom. It is advisable to pre-feed the place of fishing. For this, fishmeal or pieces of fish are suitable.
Technique of fishing in a plumb line on a balancer
A balancer is used to fish in open water in autumn. The technique itself is practically no different from winter fishing. The bait rises up by 20-30 cm. At the top point, it is held for some time and returns to its original position. At the bottom, you should also wait for a short pause so that the balancer stops oscillating.
In deeper places, the stroke must be made sharper. Thus, the bait will give the correct game when lifting.
Technique of fishing in a plumb line
The technique of fishing with live bait is different from fishing with artificial baits. The sprat sinks almost to the very bottom (no more than 20 cm from the ground) and we are waiting for a bite. If the predator does not manifest itself, then periodically we pull the tackle. Thus, reviving the live bait. You can also change the horizon to 10-15 cm vertically.
