Maggot. Excellent bait for many types of fish. It happens that a good bite is observed from the bottom of the reservoir. If it is muddy, then the maggot can dig into it and be completely invisible. To prevent this from happening, you need to put it on a hook, and then with an insulin syringe with the thinnest needle, pump it with air. We gave it buoyancy and more volume.
Kerosene. It has long been noticed that he lures both predatory fish and crucian carp. Can be used as an attractant. Some anglers pour it into a small vial, pierce a small hole in the cork and lower it on the fishing line to the fishing area, and after fishing they remove it from the reservoir. For convenience, WD-40 is also used, this is the same kerosene, but in a more practical package.
The food attracts fish well, which smoothly sinks to the bottom. To do this, you need to place the bait in a fine-mesh net, and put an inflated plastic bag next to it, which will prevent it from drowning.
Grasshoppers are best caught in the morning when they are less active.
To restore the shine of a tarnished copper lure, you need to rub it with a slice of raw potatoes.
In order for the knees on the rod to be easily separated, rub them with wax or a stearin candle.
If flies do not allow the fish to dry, then place a cup with something sweet next to the fish to attract wasps. They also love fish, but they will not let the flies lay their larvae. You can also cover it with gauze soaked in vegetable oil or vinegar.
No need to drag the fish out of the grass by force. Try loosening the line and maybe it will come out on its own.
Tie hooks with proven knots. Test them at home with a hand scale. Choose simple and reliable. Choose them based on the thickness of your fishing line. Some hold better on thick tackle and others on thin tackle.
Knit loops on leashes not with a double knot, as most fishermen usually knit, but with a triple knot. This greatly improves strength.
For long-term storage of fishing line, seal it in a plastic bag along with a piece of gauze moistened with glycerin.
After you have made new spinners, it is advisable to boil them in water with a pinch of soda, which will destroy odors from soldering and flux.
During a thunderstorm, you should avoid open hills, and also do not hide under lonely growing trees. And if you are in a boat during a thunderstorm, then you need to lie on its bottom.
If you forgot mosquito repellents at home, then rub your face and hands with wormwood, it will scare away bloodsuckers for a while.
Attach a small weight to the landing net and it will not float.
It is very dangerous to fish on ice less than 6 cm thick.
When passing through the thickets on the shore, hold the rod with the thick end forward.
If on a smooth surface of water in some place it ripples, then it means there is a shallow. In the pits, the water is usually cloudier.
In most cases, the fish feed on the differences in the shallows and depths.
Fish bite better with a western or south-western wind, as well as with a slight rise or fall in water.
With the help of an awl, it is easy to untie the knot on the leash.
Cleaning perch will be much easier if it is 2-3 seconds. drop into boiling water.
Try not to make noise on the beach. Large fish are shy and cautious. When casting, do not splash the tip of the rod into the water.
Do not be upset if after bait one little thing began to peck. Soon she will be sated, and the large one will come later.
Biting is always better on the shore, on which the waves roll. They wash out various living creatures that fish feed on.
With a big wave, the bait should be thrown up to the float, because the undercurrent in such weather is directed away from the shore.
Do not move to another fishing spot until you have tried all the types of baits that you have.
Pick up the load so that the nod of the float is recessed by half its length. With this position of the float, bites are clearly visible, on tension, as well as on the rise of the bait fish.
If you go fishing far from a populated area, always take a first aid kit with you. Check in it the expiration date of the drugs and completeness.
Always store matches in a moisture-proof container.
If possible, build a fire in the place of the old fireplace, because after the fire the grass will not grow for several years. Protect the environment.
You should always dress warmly. The weather forecast is misleading, and taking off an extra shirt is not difficult.
