Search pike in the spring on the small river
Spring pike fishing from the shore on small and medium rivers in many spinning is the beginning of the fishing season. If you are ready to join this fishing, be sure to check when the spawning ban begins to operate in your region ( either spinning fishing , or species - pike fishing). And even if you went fishing in the allowed time, try to let go of the caught caviar females. A sandwich with pike caviar is hardly worth hundreds of thousands of ruined fry...
Look for pike at this time on small rivers in places where there are depths above the average on the river and snags. Most often it is the inner side of the turn of the river, where the current creates holes and demolishes them all sorts of stuff. Well, if there will be shallow water with the remnants of last year's grass. On Sunny spring days pike can go to such places to warm up and hunt for fry.
Tackle. The rod length is 7.4-8 ft fast action, with the test weight of the lure to 21-25 grams. The reel 2000-3000 on lineup Shimano. Cord #1,0-1,2. The leash from the steel strings required. Even the sluggish spring pike remains toothy, and cuts any fishing line with its teeth. Baits. At this time, the best work jig lures ( silicone, foam) and lures minnow class size 90-130 mm ( depth and degree of buoyancy is selected at the place of fishing).
I want to offer you to watch the video report of Fyodor Lukoyanov about finding and catching spring pike. On the Lower Volga, in the Astrakhan region, this process begins somewhat earlier than in the middle lane, and Fyodor has already managed to repeatedly visit various channels and rivers...
Fedor's comments about fishing places, tackle and lures are very useful. It is necessary to pay attention to them and apply in their practice on the first fishing of the new season.
