Forget to buy raspberries!

*Hello, All!*
Imagine a typical winter fishing - we put a pair on the jig
raspberries, put it in the hole and wait for the bite. Time passes, but there is no bite. Let's get started
shake. Time passes, but to no avail. Finally, the already hopelessly lying tackle
suddenly shows signs of life - the nod twitches and we pull out the ruff, which
I swallowed the jig to the point of “oh mom.”
A day passes, and during this time four fish are caught. With such a catch we
Let's return home.
It's a familiar picture, isn't it? :)
And this was observed on this day not only by us, but also by other fishermen,
present on the reservoir. This means everything is quite normal and natural. At least
even because we caught using the same methods as the overwhelming
majority.
Now let's look at all this from the fish's point of view. For example -
perch. Let's say we went to Tavatyy, where the fish is distinguished by its
capriciousness, but there is immeasurable amount of it. We buy raspberries in the store. From here on
let's start - where is this raspberry from? The seller answers - from the Kyrgan lakes
areas. And if you believe the atlas of this area, the bulk of these lakes are salty.
:) No, the seller is not lying - raspberries are not very sensitive to the salinity of water, so
it may well be found there in the required quantities, but this explains
lack of bite of fish on our lake.In winter, when the fish is in a “dead winter” state - there is no hunger, lethargy, it
I am extremely suspicious of everything else. After all, in this state she is most
vulnerable. And stumbling upon a raspberry from someone else’s pond (with the smell of water and soil
that lake) she will immediately ignore it, although in the summer she would not sniff
swallowed it. And in general, in order to digest a sufficiently “large” raspberry,
it needs a certain starting energy - in order to “start up”
all the enzymes needed in the body. Therefore, she would rather prefer such a raspberry
raspberry from the same reservoir, but about three times smaller in size. Or
some other food object - for example, an overgrown cyclops.
The conclusion is “crazy” - you just need to forget the raspberry
buy, then the chances of arriving with fish will be much greater. Or if you catch
- then catch raspberries from the reservoir where we are going to fish. And try in case
without biting, use the smallest jigs and put on small raspberries, but
if there is none, then fish without it at all. And what? Here is an example from life, how
once again confirming the fact that baitless fishing is more successful than bait fishing.
I once met a grandfather on a train who told me about
winter spinners and said that he never buys raspberries for fishing. I felt
interesting, and I followed him. And he was going to Shalya, to one of the local smallponds. Where, according to my concepts, fish are not found.
(the following is a fragment of the message that I posted here three years ago)
When they arrived at the place, they scattered. I kept walking, drilling, trying to catch
- Nevermind, it doesn’t bite. There were about 20 local fishermen there - and they had nothing.
In general, I don’t care about fishing, I drink tea, I chew sandwiches, I admire the scenery.
And the old man sits away from everyone and keeps tugging with his fishing rod. Give me, I think -
I'll see what he has there.
I approach and ask - how are you? Grandfather: it sucks! Local fisherman nearby
walked by, stopped, dropped his ears, but realized that he didn’t care and moved on.
I come close to my grandfather and see the picture: from under the coat of his ego
tails stick out. The grandfather slyly narrowed his eyes, moved the field away, and under it in the snow was a rather sickly
A _BUG_ of striped fish lies. “You,” says the grandfather, “shout louder so that everyone comes here.”
They came running and you and I were drilled!” Tyts! He pulls out another fisheye.
Me (repeatedly): Grandfather, have you screwed up or something, it’s not biting!
Grandfather: Come on, doesn’t it bite? Are you driving or what? Here, look.
(pulls out another perch)
And then suddenly I notice that the equipment of his fishing rod is somehow quite
An interesting spinner, homemade at that. Everyone (including me) fishes with a jig,
Well, I also tried balancers - zeros at a time, but my grandfather drags fish onto his lure like
from the refrigerator.
"These balancers of yours are nonsense!" - says the grandfather, “They are not made in order toto catch fish, but to catch fishermen in sporting goods... And for me - that’s what!”
Shows his lure in close-up. I'm already planning it visually
remember, and grandpa, the spinner is out of sight and in the hole, they say - a military secret,
competitors - Borodylinsky state farm (razor).
Then I decided that I need to at least catch up with grandpa, and let’s get creative
engage. As soon as you didn’t mess with the balancer, that’s it and that’s it, that’s all
anyway - nevermind. I attached the tail from the twister to the tail hook. The game varied.
/DRUM/.
Grandfather laughs: stick your hand in the hole - and then it will probably be easier to fish
catch than your imported crap.
And he drags the perch one after another, and drags it, and the pile grows, grows!
Local fishermen dumped almost everything. There are probably only 4 people left, and those
They are no longer fishing, but the water is whipping.
“Hey,” says the old man and takes out the spare tackle from the box. - Put it on
“My system, and I’ll see how it turns out for you.”
I started trying with his tackle and his own game. And then (oh miracle!) - he pulled out
one perch.
“You still suck at catching, you need to train! - says the grandfather, - You take half an hour
I sat there and caught one, and during that time I pulled out a dozen. The tackle is to feel
must!"
"What's it even called?" - I ask.
“*SELF SHAKING*,” the grandfather answers.
Self-shaking... You can say - this is purely ours, a Ural gadget. From a long time agohistory, its roots go back three centuries. We know this "self-shaking"
tried it. I look at his glitter, and clearly realize that from the traditional
of the Ural "scrambler" it differs in some details, but has even higher
yourself with a cambric. Spinner material - copper + tin, shape
aquadynamic, in water in free fall it looks terribly like a padded one
fish.
"And the shitty sedna is biting." - the newly minted sensei interrupts my thoughts.
“I usually carry 11 kilograms from this pond when it’s biting!..”
Yes, if he caught a bunch of fish in such a lack of bite, then I imagine that
happens when she jumps out of the holes while pecking on her tail.
“But,” says the grandfather, “this is just the tip of the iceberg, I’ve been
I catch it by myself, that’s what I know how to do, but luck won’t come to you any time soon, but
you will hit it to such a level that you will feel like a fish touched the line
- so you will always be with her."
On the way back I talked to Grandpa. It split for me throughout the technology and
I described how the thing works.
First, the spoon lies on the bottom - this is how the depth is determined and unwinds
the right amount of fishing line. Then, with a sharp but short jerk, the spinner starts with
bottom and oscillating like an ordinary spinning spoon (!), takes off somewhere at
half a meter or even a meter above the bottom. At this moment it can be grabbed by a large perch,or small - but not the lure itself, but a decoy (the effect of advancing the pursuing
predator). Sometimes two will sit down at once. The jerk is done quickly and the hand is immediately
comes back. The spinner, having reached the maximum upper point, begins
fall down and rush around like crazy, performing terrible and unique figures
aerobatics. At this moment, she attracts distant perch while biting
one of them will definitely grab her, but during the lack of bite they will only
accumulate around the playing spinner. Having fallen to the bottom, the spoon attracts a predator
grasping reaction - after all, it’s easier to grab a half-dead fish lying on the bottom than
chase after the living. This moment always works. Interesting, but 50% of all
Bottom bites come not from the lure, but from the bait, if you adjust the fishing line so
that when the spoon falls to the bottom, the bait will hang a few centimeters from
bottom. But this is where skill is needed. Firstly, it’s difficult to guess the moment of hooking, and
secondly, it is difficult to immediately determine from the nod how close the bait is to the bottom. U
When the spinner fell to the bottom, about a second and a half later I saw this:
a push of a nod and my empty hook - the perch grabbed either a spoon or a bait, but
Having determined that it was inedible, he spat it out before I hooked it.
(end of fragment)
By the way, the story is how grandfather Tom fell into the hands of a self-shaking machine and how he learned to
Fishing for him is even more instructive.Having thought a little about the self-shaking technology over the past three years, more
accurately determine all the useful aspects of this gear.
Firstly, the main role of the spinner, as strange as it may sound, coincides with the role
banal bait. With its vibrations and visual effect, it lures perch with
long distances. When he swims closer to her, having a better look,
loses interest in it, since it does not look like an ordinary fish (conclusion - spinner
should resemble the fry as much as possible in color). Okay, let's say if the fish
zhop - she may well grab the spinner, but now is not the time. But besides
The spinners in the game include a hook with a red cambric. He looks very
resembles a raspberry, but due to the lack of smell (what can a stainless steel smell like?
a hook and a piece of chemically neutral polymer?) cannot cause a perch
suspicion. This is where he grabs him, and until he realizes that the object is
It is inedible in the mouth, you can easily catch it in time. By the way, it also happens that
there are no raspberries in the pond. Well, the bottom is, for example, pebbly and without a hint of silt. Then
"replanting" from cambric should imitate some other water
invertebrate that lives in this body of water - for example the same
an overgrown cyclops, or a newly hatched fry.
Here you can smoothly move on to fishing such as a baitless jig. INLately, a lot of facts have accumulated when, at the moment of “no bite”
baitless specialists mercilessly caught those fishermen who had
The raspberry "didn't bite."
In general, a small group bites on a self-shaking jig and a baitless jig
among the entire mass of fishermen. And the reason here is not so much the ability - to learn
Everyone can play the tackle correctly, it’s just that with these fishing methods we are no longer
we can lure fish with the taste and smell of bait (as with popular methods),
Therefore, it is necessary to take into account all the features of the game, bringing it as close as possible to
ensure that the bait is no different from any inhabitant of the given
reservoir And the banal “waving” of bait (which is what many people fall into
method of fishing) will lead to nothing. And the “clumsiness” of the tackle is also not
will roll - it requires very fine and precise tuning.
Well, and as one special nozzle-less person (from Sverdlovsk) put it: if you want
learn to catch - forget to buy raspberries!
