Capricious autumn carp

Autumn fishing for crucian carp is conditionally divided into three periods. This division is very conditional and does not depend on calendar months, but solely on the state of the weather in a particular region. We, describing autumn crucian fishing, will tie it for convenience to a specific autumn month.

September

Fishing for crucian carp this month is characterized by its similarity to August fishing. Before a sharp change in the weather and cooling of the water, the fish behaves according to the summer schedule. The bite of fastidious fish is also similar to that at the end of summer, and the parking places are almost the same, for example:

• coastal and near-river edges;
• bottom relief changes: pits and mounds;
• places at hydraulic structures and snags;
• boundary of clear water and aquatic vegetation;
• under overhanging tree branches.

Tackle

Fishing in September is carried out with the same gear as in summer. These are all kinds of float and bottom fishing rods:

1. Fly rod. It is used when fishing from the shore: the length of the blank is up to 11 meters, or from a boat: here the most convenient stick is a four-meter one.
2. Match rod. Used for long casts of the float.
3. Bologna rod. Average casting or catching in wiring.
4. Plug rod. A new type of float fishing is characterized by a point supply of bait and bait, as well as the unthinkable high cost of the rod. With the money spent on plug tackle, you can buy up to half a ton of live crucian carp.
5. A simple donka-snack and an elastic band. These rarities are still in use among amateurs. Just as feederists discuss the characteristics of rods or feeders, bottomers argue about the types of rubber shock absorbers and the number of hooks in the tackle.
6. Bottom fishing rod type "crocodile". This harbinger of feeder fishing has firmly occupied its price niche in the tackle trade, the number of its fans is huge.
7. Feeder. The leader among bottom fishing rods. Fishing with this tackle attracts more and more adherents due to its simplicity, elegance, democratic price and catchiness.

Lure

The bite of crucian carp in September is provided with almost the same feeding as in August. Only the flavor changes. Sweet and fruity smells fade into the background, while the favorites are the following:

• dill;
• anise;
• garlic;
• maggot;
• caraway;
• mint.

The fractionation of the bait also gradually changes towards a decrease in large particles. This is done so that the fish that reduces activity are saturated as slowly as possible.

Let's share the secret of one of the bait compositions, which is used in early autumn:

• ground crackers - 1 part;
• roasted ground seeds - 0.5;
• crushed corn grits - 1;
• barley groats - 1;
• dry milk - 0.5.

Bait components are mixed and moistened with water directly from the pond where you are going to fish. Thanks to the water from the native reservoir, the crucian does not feel foreign odors and pecks willingly.

Lures

In September, both vegetable and animal baits are held in high esteem by crucian carp. At this time, fishing is successful on the following nozzles and baits:

• dough;
• bread;
• mastyrka;
• semolina;
• peas;
• pearl barley;
• corn;
• pasta;
• worm;
• maggot

With the cooling of the water, the diet of crucian carp gradually changes, animal food begins to predominate. In baits, too, preference is increasingly given to the worm and maggot.

October

Fishing for crucian carp in October is no longer reminiscent of summer fishing. The reason for this is the cooling of the water and, as a result, the death of aquatic vegetation. The fish gradually moves away from the banks and tries to stay closer to the deepest parts of the pond, where the water stays warm longer than at the surface.

On sunny days, crucian carp rise to shallow water to bask in the sun and look for crawling worms, bloodworms and other living creatures.

Due to predators beginning to fatten, peaceful fish become more cautious and sensitive to various unforeseen anomalies. The shyness of the finicky handsome man at this time is also affected by the transparency of cold water.

Fish biting is now less subject to daily changes, so you can catch crucian carp all daylight hours. Although in October there are fans of the evening "bonfire" fishing.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the bite of crucian carp near the shore almost stops, therefore, only match and Bologna are used from float gear. Fishing with bottom rods continues to be carried out in the same composition.

Lure

The composition of the bait in October becomes completely different. Due to the huge attraction to animal food, the composition of the mixture changes dramatically. To ensure the best bite, try this recipe:

1. Pour one part of the sifted soil into the container. The best soil will be from the shores of the reservoir, but you can also use the purchased one, and you can buy it at the fishing store or in the department for gardeners.
2. Add one part of ground breadcrumbs. They will loosen the soil and give an attractive dregs into the water of the pond, forcing the fish to approach the point and start biting.
3. Add chopped dung or earthworms, maggots or bloodworms to the soil, depending on what you are going to use as bait.

Bait

October carp fishing is carried out mainly on animal bait. These are well-known baits: worm, maggot and cold water fishing leader - bloodworm.

However, few people know about another effective nozzle in the fall - semolina with garlic. And, meanwhile, the catchability of this bait has been tested more than once. Here is the secret of its preparation:

1. Pour semolina into some small jar.
2. Add a little water, stirring constantly, the consistency should be a little watery.
3. Add crushed garlic to the mixture. The number of its cloves depends on the volume of the semolina. Remember that the bait should be fragrant, not smelly. Here the main rule of aromatization is used.
4. Leave the mixture for 10-20 minutes, then stir. The semolina is false to become stretchy and wrap well on the hook.

When adding an attractant to bait or bait, remember: it is better to underfill than overfill. Excessive odors scare away fish and reduce bite.

November

Catching carp in November is a rare trip to the pond in fine weather. The fish standing near the wintering pits are already little active and bite poorly. But even at this time of the year, you can run into a good biting picky, the main thing is to know in which reservoirs he is, in principle, able to peck at this time.

In November, crucian pecks in vast reservoirs with running water. By the way, in them he will peck from under the ice.

Tackle is mainly used long-range, so that you can catch on the bed of the pond:

• match;
• donka;
• feeder.

Bait and bait

Feeding crucian carp in the last autumn month makes almost no sense, it is not active and stands almost motionless in the pits. Therefore, the effectiveness of fishing depends on the success of the search for such a point in which the fish is concentrated.

It is better to catch crucian carp in November with animal bait, bloodworms and worms work well, maggots and semolina with garlic work a little worse.
