La pesca de área y las técnicas de animación de fondo como panacea para la trucha pasiva

Trout, like all women, are incredibly capricious and selective. They don’t like this bait, or the color is not the same, or too fast, or too slow. And almost every fishing trip you have to pick up a “key”. In winter the picture in comparison with the fall season differs strikingly. There is icy water, hence inactive fish. An experienced angler will try to quickly pick up and bait, and the way of its presentation. And how to act as a beginner in such a situation? During several years of focused trout fishing in winter I came to the conclusion that nothing brings such a result as bottom fishing methods. But what are bottom fishing methods, and what baits are best suited for such tasks, we will talk about it now.

A little literacy.

“Microcolebalki”

Nowadays there is a very fashionable and the most appropriate word for this situation – trends. So? All trends in trout fishing are set by our friends from the Land of the Rising Sun. Who, but the Japanese, knows how to catch a trout? It was the Japanese who once invented the bottom fishing technique. Its main feature is that it is used only when the trout is in the lower horizon and feeds near the bottom. Under the bottom fishing methods have been specially developed baits that have their own specifics. You may ask, “what are these baits and why can’t ordinary baits be used for bottom fishing methods?” and here’s the thing. Bottom baits imply the use only in the lower horizons, as a rule, they are “micro-jiggles” of a specific shape, equipped in a special way.

Let’s talk first about the shape of such a troll. Most “microcolebalki”, honed for bottom animation, the body has a wide profile and bent upward side edges. This is done specifically so that at the moment of falling the lure beautifully “crumbled”, which is the first attractive factor for trout.

Second, since such lures need to be placed on the bottom, a wide profile with curved upward edges will best cope with the task. Third, the bottom trollers use a special equipment called “front hook” – this is when the hook lies on the backing and is fixed not from the bottom of the trollers, as we are all used to see in classic trollers, but from above.

With the help of such a connection it turns out to realize most of the nibbles. This variant of mounting is so effective that it is forbidden to use it in competitions. Currently, there are not so many firms that specialize in the production of such tacks. So, for example, a specialty is the firm Nories with its phenomenal Masukoroto Boon. Believe only, this bait in Japan was set a record for the number of pond trout caught! The company’s expert managed to catch 570 trout in just one day! That’s an unbelievable figure. And it’s no wonder that Masukoroto Boon works wonders for our trout as well. And now we go directly to the ways of animation of such bait.

Ways of animation

At first I want to give a small disklamer: our brother-fisherman, who is accustomed to sharply yank baits and twitch, unzoom shoulder swing arm, it will be a little unusual to animate the troller in this way. If in summer or fall, we can somewhere tweeze, somewhere jerk “micro-coiler”, and the trout will react perfectly, but now, in winter time, such tricks will not help. The main “trick” in the bottom animation is a smooth drop-off. This is somewhat similar to fishing with a mormyshka. Imagine that you catch roach in the lower horizon, periodically touching the bottom with a mormyshlka, and perform a smooth unhurried wiring, and now project this situation to our conditions: spinning is a winter rod, and the mormyshlka – our trollers. Figure of animation will look like this: throw, let the bait fall, when the bait touched the bottom, do not hurry to perform the wiring, then load the tip of the spinning rod and smoothly lift the top up, having exhausted the slack. Uncontrolled fall of the lure should not be, so the tip of the spinning guide the troller. At this point, the “micro-coiler” begins to “fall off”, and control allows you to make a hook-up. Very often in trout fishing it happens that when an uncontrolled fall is performed, the fish sits down, but we do not feel it. This is the reason why you need to control the tension of the fishing line.

The very pattern of the game of the troll can be changed by varying the jerk or the speed of winding. If the trout has started to show activity, then the wiring can be done a little faster, but at the head of the angle will still be smooth tosses. I have a universal method of animation, which works in 8 out of 10 cases, and it looks like this: I throw the bait in a promising place, let it fall and pause – everything is standard here. Next, I wind out the sag, raise the tip of the spinning up and tip make a smooth short pull, then let the bait fall, make a long pull, then again long and then a pause. It is very important to understand at what moment the lure touches the bottom, and a second before touching the bottom you need to make another pull. As a rule, nibbles occur to a greater extent on the pause. The very movement on the pull attracts trout, and during the pause it attacks. But this is not the last method of animation, which I use.

The next method is a little more complicated, because it requires a clear understanding of when the bait should touch the bottom. Let’s skip the standard stage of throwing and pause, and go directly to the wiring itself. Its essence is in short smooth pulls, alternating with two or three revolutions of the coil. We make two tosses, wait for a pause, then two turns of the coil, pause and again repeat the pattern of the game.

Quite often “konopataya” is not at the bottom, and above it centimeters in ten to fifteen, and then there is no sense in the fall of the bait directly to the bottom. Most often this happens with the launching trout, which after a short activity immediately sinks into the horizon. This is the kind of fish that can be caught with a more active method without dropping the bait to the bottom.

In addition to spinnerbaits, which are ideal for bottom fishing methods, there are also lures made of soft plastic, which are also good for catching passive trout in icy water. But it is not enough to have a good trout “rubber band”, you need to present it to the trout in a special way, using a suitable in these conditions mounting, which we will now talk about.

Mountages for bottom fishing methods

As strange as it may sound, but the most effective and catching montage is a diverting leash. Yes, it’s that diverting leash that we use to catch bass so successfully, but my version of “diverting” for trout is a little different from what I use when I catch “striped”. What is the difference? The most important thing is that I do not use a long leash, on which the hook with the bait is fixed. If for perch we all already put the standard one and a half meters, then here the length of the leash should not exceed twenty centimeters. I catch most often on floating rubber and it turns out that the bait rises in the horizon for the entire length of the leash, and imagine that it would be a meter? Exactly one meter the bait would rise above the bottom and pass over the heads of the fish. The trout would not react to a “rubber band” going over his head. It is such a time that it needs to spend the bait under the very nose.

With this mounting I use two variants of “silicone” baits – these are worms and nymphs. Both those and others have almost no game of their own, except that the nymph on the pause wiggles small legs. Worm is a passive bait, and all movements are usually set short jerks. Using the “diversion”, I perform the following wiring. I make very slow revolutions of the coil. Two revolutions, after which I give a pause of four or five seconds. If I perform even wiring, then as the main bait I use nymph, and wormprimenyuin a variant with short jerks.

Diversion leash sometimes beats “micro-jiggles”. Here in force comes and “edible” rubber, and the ability to hang on the pause for a long time. It is the pause is a cherished “key” to catching trout. Diverting leash – this is the montage, when using which we can fully expect that the bait for a long time will not leave the promising point. That’s why the lead line is more detailed and, if you want, more painstakingly cover a promising area.

Combine “microcolebalki” and the diverter, and be sure to achieve a positive result. And that’s all I have.

With respect.
