Burbot: appearance, photo and description, habitats, fishing


Interest clubs have always existed. They unite people connected by the same goals and ideas. If you cannot live without a fishing rod, and at night you see a multi-kilogram trophy that is struggling on the hook, trying in vain to free itself, then welcome to the active fishing club “Burbot”. Of course, this process will have its own meaning for everyone, understandable only to them.

For some it is a hobby and a way to escape from hard everyday life, but for others it is the real meaning of life. Some people go to a pond just for company, to breathe some air and have a look, while others are interested in the fishing process itself. The active fishing club "Burbot" exists more for the second category. Among like-minded people, you can easily share your experience and ask for advice, find new friends and comrades for gatherings with a fishing rod next weekend.

Today, with the development of technology, no one needs to be taught how to use a computer or search for information on websites. Even if you are new to the IT field, you will not encounter any difficulties here. The fishing club "Burbot" is made specifically for the average user. The “home page” of the site contains information about recent events and events held. This is where you can regularly view photo reports. From here it is easy to navigate further by topic.

Appearance. Photo and description of burbot

The fish is covered with a protective layer of mucus and very small scales. Burbot is distinguished by its hard skin. Interestingly, several centuries ago purses, flour sacks and other household items were made from it.

Burbot

The body color of the fish is variable, depending on the age of the individual and habitat. The color of young specimens is most often black;

Large burbot has an olive-green color with dark spots. The shape and size of the spots are variable, and many fishermen compare it with a pattern on a marble tile;

Habits, appearance and habitat indicate that burbot is a relict fish, i.e. it existed back in the Ice Age.

Today, burbot also prefers cold water, living mostly in the northern hemisphere and Siberian rivers.

"Club of like-minded people"

This is the most popular page on the site where people share their experiences. The coordinates of fishing spots, which are regularly discussed here, will become invaluable information for a beginner. It is by following the recommendations of your senior comrades that you can find the optimal body of water for yourself and catch the desired prey.

However, the club is also a place where you can simply have a good time. Here professionals are ready to give advice to novice fisherman, and they, in turn, ask questions. Most often they relate to gear and baits. With modern diversity, it is really difficult to figure out what is needed for what. And if you also take into account the characteristics of each reservoir and the nature of its inhabitants, then you definitely cannot do without many years of experience.

Burbot habitats in winter

The model of behavior of the predator in the cold season is similar to the habits in the spring and autumn seasons; you need to look for promising fishing spots in the habitat familiar to burbot, catching:

  • deep areas of the reservoir;
  • places where springs flow;
  • areas with cold streams of water;
  • shallow water areas if fishing is carried out at night.

Burbot habitats

Success will be guaranteed if you can find burbot trails. Since the fishing object belongs to the bottom representatives of the reservoir, the lower horizons need to be examined. Fishing in heavily snarled areas of the reservoir and in places with a clean bottom should not be considered promising. There must be some obstacles in the fishing area, for example, stones.

Other sections

Let's see what else useful you can learn from the pages of this club. It should be noted that its attendance is very high.

  • The “Reports” subsection is intended specifically to talk about your successes. Here you can publish photos from fishing locations. There are certain rules, compliance with which is checked by the moderator. They should be interesting to consider for everyone who is a member of the club. Therefore, fewer photos of yourself and your family, more interesting moments.
  • "Travel" - fishing spots are not the only places where you can have a good time. This section contains reports on field events. Fishing rods and catch here may be in the background or not appear in the shots at all.
  • “Winter” is the most interesting section for professionals. Beginners most often prefer to sit on the shore of a pond in the summer, when the warmth and idyll are disturbed only by mosquitoes. It is a true connoisseur of this sport who is ready to leave a warm bed in winter in order to sit in the cold wind, waiting for a bite. This section was created specifically to describe the methods and techniques of ice fishing.

    advice for a novice fisherman

Catching burbot on a donk

Bottom tackle is a rod or reel with main fishing line and equipment. The principle of fishing is to wait for a bite. The fisherman throws the tackle into a promising place, creates tension in the line and hangs a bite alarm in the form of a bell or bell on the tip of the rod.

Fishing for burbot does not require feeding, but you can use the classic proven method, which requires loose molehill soil and a strong-smelling additive. Chitin from boiled crayfish, fish or meat trimmings, offal and offal are used as meat components.

The burbot donkey equipment consists of several elements:

1. Leash made of soft fishing line. Fluorocarbon is not suitable in this case, since burbot often hides in stones with an abrasive surface. The hard monofilament is quickly rubbed by fish, which threatens to break. A leash is used with a diameter of 0.25 to 0.35 mm. An additional margin of safety allows you to remove the fish from a snag or other “strong” shelter.

2. Sliding or stationary sinker. The first option is used in cases where it is necessary for the bait to gradually roll downstream, fishing the water area and looking for fish. The blind installation keeps the bait in the found promising place, preventing it from going down the stream.

3. Single hook. Many years of experience in burbot fishing have made it clear that “single” models detect fish an order of magnitude better than similar double and triple models. It is easier to break through the mouth with a single hook, and it is also less noticeable when biting.

Telescopic and plug-in spinning rods are used as fishing rods for long-distance casting. A rigid blank with a high dough allows the use of large weights, which are necessary in different situations in the water area.

Fishing techniques

  • The “Spinning” section is devoted to the peculiarities of using this capricious tackle. In fact, the technology is completely different, as is the set of spinners, lures and other accessories. Therefore, if you have not used spinning before, be sure to visit the section to master this art in theory.
  • Accordingly, there is a section “Fishing Rod”, which is devoted to the rules for using the feeder and float. Again, beginners assume that there is nothing complicated about this, but in practice it turns out that there are more than enough nuances. It’s best to sort out the subtleties “on the shore,” that is, at home.
  • "Competitions". Fishermen are incredibly sociable people. They simply cannot live without getting together. And since everyone loves fishing, a very interesting way of spending time has appeared as sport fishing. Competitions are held for speed, number and weight of caught individuals. As a result, you get triple the pleasure. We sat with a fishing rod, talked with like-minded people and showed off our skills. It is in this section that fishing spots where competitions are planned in the near future are published.

Alexander Kropachev was fishing on the Kumenka River, and although his catch was not very large, he was overall pleased with the fishing:

- There is fish. The pressure is pressing. The snow crunches. And there is open water.

We caught everything. Those who are more experienced and know the places caught bigger and more. We had a good rest, the hole, however, tightens quickly. We fished with bloodworms and without bait. Oparik is ignored. The traction is good, the fish are in the pools.

Compliance with the rules

All club members are familiarized with a set of standards that they are required to comply with. The use of nets and other poaching methods of extraction is not encouraged here. Each amateur should have no more than one tackle. The constantly published fisherman's calendar indicates which species of underwater inhabitants are subject to fishing today. These standards must also be observed.

Reports and photographs indicating unsportsmanlike methods of harvesting underwater inhabitants cannot be posted on the pages. This is the use of nonsense and dynamite, fishing with a zherlitsa. In such cases, the administration will block the account. Of course, it is necessary to treat others with respect.

When to prepare gear

For this purpose, there is a fisherman’s calendar on the site pages. Here, depending on the region and city, you can see at what time the ban on catching certain species is in effect, and on which bodies of water fishing is completely prohibited. In addition, experienced old-timers will tell their secrets on these pages. This is an invaluable storehouse of knowledge. Even as a beginner, you will quickly learn to understand how this or that fish behaves at certain times of the year. Fishing techniques, bait, as well as the most favorable time of day may change. Fishing techniques in winter and summer are radically different. There is a colossal amount of information in this section, so it is worth studying it constantly, as new information becomes available.
