Summer pike fishing, among seaweed on shoal.

In the Summer the pike concentrates on very shallow sites, and, to catch it there, it is necessary to refuse "silicone" and to resort to other "arms". The most conservative adherents of rubber baits are compelled to make it even. After all when the pike costs on sites which have densely grown with a grass, usual silicone baits are not effective in application. Both silicone small fishes, and twisters are often confused in a grass, because of it happens, it is very difficult to spend slowly a bait through seaweed

Means, there has come time of superficial baits! It is necessary to give preference to summertime, to the easy spoon-baits, floating wobblers, jerks and special silicone baits of type Optimum-Baits. Which bait to use, depends on a reservoir and the sizes of expected pikes. To facilitate a choice, here a couple of a good advice.

Wobblers.

To Have in the summer in a fishing box floating wobblers it is necessary always. These baits now very many different kinds. I divide them into two types.

The first are wobblers, with a thick little body and possessing good buoyancy. Simply to force them to dive, high enough speed of conducting is required. For example Eins Minus or Banana. At small speed they remain on a surface and something remind a floating mouse. But it is absolutely not important, whether there are they at conducting on a surface or leave in depth a little, their sharp movements all the same force a pike to rise from an ambush and to attack a bait. These baits for places where the grass grows densely enough especially approach, and almost gets to a water surface.

Wobblers of the second type longer also have smaller buoyancy, for example Minnow. They quickly dive, them simply to conduct, that allows to play them and thus to diversify conducting. These baits can be conducted jerky, in regular intervals, and with pauses, giving to a wobbler to emerge, and then again to disperse it. Similar games help to achieve big quantity of bitings.

Spoon-baits and spinners.

For fishing of a pike in the summer, on shoal, is better small revolving objects approach. Here it is necessary to tell, that from lures of the big sizes during this time, it is necessary to refuse in general. The summer is time when in a reservoir it is a lot of малька which constantly moves that is why all predators are adjusted on hunting only on medium-sized extraction. So the small revolving object is practically always a good choice.

 

Range of a throw, these baits, certainly is not great, but after all in overwhelming majority of cases and it is not necessary to throw tackle far. And to spend easy little lure it is possible in very small places, and these baits even work at very slow conducting. Revolving objects with two petals even if they and loading, but at conducting show the big resistance to a stream that is why are pushed out to a surface more strongly, than revolving objects with one petal are good for catching aground.

 

Selecting a bait, always it is necessary to look at the form of its petal as the petal form affects speed of rotation. The wide petal rotates slowly and resists at conducting, thanks to it "revolving objects" with a wide petal can be conducted very slowly.

 

All in another way with a narrow petal, it rotates faster and, hence, smaller resistance shows at conducting. Therefore such revolving object needs to be conducted much faster that it has not fallen too deeply and has not got confused in seaweed. What lure to put, as quickly its messages is depends on that, how much the pike is active.

Spoon baits

Quite good baits - spoon baits with protection of hooks against hooks. Sometimes they even allow to carry out conducting, not paying attention to water vegetation, after all when seaweed grows not so densely, the protected hook practically does not cling to them. This protection consists of the special eyelets made of a delay which so close separate hooks, that the grass simply slides on them. During time of a biting of an eyelet develop, so the pike is marked without problems.

Jerks.

On jerks catch many, but nevertheless the majority them treat still with distrust. It is still possible to hear: «Same wobblers without the blade!» Many are convinced what to spend such bait completely not difficult. But it not so - the way of conducting a jerk is calculated on a certain trophy, and should steal up the fisher.

 

The Majority of models of jerks float or slowly (suspenders), but thus both types sink at conducting remain on a surface or slightly plunge it depends on at what height to hold a fishing-rod tip. Jerk game at its conducting by easy controllable jerks frequently is so effective what resist it very rare predators can only.

 

Depending on model at jerks occur more or less strong deviations of a bait so its game very much reminds behaviour of the injured small small fish. Short pauses between jerks too often promote biting improvement. In any case this bait at correctly picked up conducting behaves as a sick small fish, and it for the predator who has hidden among seaweed very strong раздражитель. Therefore quite often the pike suffices floating, on a surface a jerk from distance in some metres, and all it on eyes at the fisher.

 

To see frequent to a grasp it is possible, as stalks of a cane or seaweed move, or attack is foretold by a wave going from a head of a predator coming nearer to a bait. I am assured: who at least time saw the pike attack of a jerk floating on a surface, will for ever be ill with it.

Very important at conducting of jerks as soon as possible to restore contact to tackle after blows or jerks. Often happens, that the jerk after the next jerk flies by forward, and the scaffold sags. If in such situation for a long time to lose contact to a bait, it is possible to miss a biting as attacks occur very quickly.

My most favourite jerks King of Jerk and Slider.

Hybrid baits

Mister Big. These baits - something an average between wobblers and traditional "silicone". Their forward part is a wobbler, behind - replaceable silicone tails. Their advantage consists that it is possible to change quickly to a bait a tail for another, more suitable, for example, on colour. Lungo and Pike are superficial, a Classic is better approaches for places with differences of depths.

 

Lungo it is possible to use as a superficial bait, it it is possible to catch on depth to 1 m. It is a floating bait, the truth, with small degree of buoyancy, therefore, as soon as the steel lead is put, it gets neutral buoyancy and at pauses in conducting remains on a place. It gives the chance to conduct it very slowly.

Game Lungo in many respects reminds wobbler game, but, thanks to that its conducting can be more various, this combined bait allows to catch incommensurably more. If, for example, conducting represents a train of easy twitchings and short pauses movements Lungo very much remind behaviour of a dying small fish which after each wave a tail should have a rest. That is still very important: if this bait correctly to balance, at pauses it remains on that depth where there was a stop.

Pike it is purely superficial bait having the big buoyancy. It is calculated on catching of pikes which protect the territory. At usual conducting, too it is possible to catch one or two pikes but if conducting to diversify the result can be on much best.
For example, after several turns of the coil to make a small pause. Thanks to it the bait will resemble on small, moving jerky a little pike, and it definitely is not pleasant to some its big colleagues. This bait is better works early in the morning and in the late evening. If its messages very slowly it superficially dives, and at morning and evening o'clock of a pike actively attack it literally on a surface.

Mister Big Classic , as well as Lungo, well balanced suspender so at a pause in conducting remains on that depth on which went, and in horizontal position. Depths for catching on this bait - from 2 to 4 m, at slow conducting Mister Big Classic accurately are held by the set horizon. For its application it is ideal places sharp slope from a bank on depth.

It is known, that облавливать свалы from a bank on depth it is more convenient from a boat. The bait is in that case thrown on shoal, and then also is alloyed downstream in parallel coast. It can occur before the islands, a cane standing by a wall, and also on sites where the coast is constantly washed away. At conducting the bait in water moves very confidently, and on it it is possible to catch as on a wobbler. Catch will be better, if a bait to conduct with pauses. I repeat, that at stops Mister Big Classic remains on that horizon where it went at conducting.

Rubbers baits .

Pike Catching aground happens to application of silicone baits not so successful. After all the vibrating-tail or a twister on Irish jigs-heads should be conducted in such situation quickly enough, let alone necessity to feel depth on which there is a bait. Otherwise on a hook seaweed will often cling, and it is possible to miss any chance to catch though something.

As the exception can be offered only catching on baits with easy little bodies, they in itself are floating. Is as well soaring silicone baits which are intended specially for fish who lives close to a surface.

 

Optimum-Baits - silicone baits which do not demand additional cargo. It is a question of floating baits with small residual buoyancy. Unlike usual silicone baits, are not equipped Irish jigs by a head, and their buoyancy is regulated at will. From these, floating baits by means of a steel lead, an additional tee or metal sticks stuck in a body it is possible to make either slowly sinking, or soaring baits.

And generally Optimum-Baits it is silicone jerks, and catch a pike on them also as well as on jerks. After a throw she can be spent and slowly, and to force, as a usual jerk, to move jerky. Thus these soft baits at jerks by a fishing-rod deviate aside less, but forward slide, more strongly.

Whereas these baits as well as jerks, heavy enough, it is necessary to select and corresponding tackles. Short, rigid enough fishing-rod in length about 2 m with the test till 100 Such fishing-rod is necessary it is possible to throw far a bait and is confident its message.
