The main requirement for live bait is energy; the fish must attract the predator with its movements. And passive live bait is unlikely to attract pike perch. The fry is placed on the hook by the dorsal fin or lip. There is no need to use a leash when fishing for pike perch. His teeth are not able to bite through the fishing line, and the leash can scare him away.
Pike perch bite throughout the day, from sunrise to sunset. After sunset, closer to midnight, you can observe a short burst of bites. Well, as promised:

Catching pike perch with winter fishing rods
This is an ancient and proven method of catching pike perch from ice. It makes a lot of sense to install girders in pike perch pits. Sometimes girders can bring good catches of pike perch in the shallows or on the edges of holes, especially if they are placed at night.
The girder for winter fishing for pike perch is practically no different from the girder for pike. There is no need to use a metal leash on pike perch. One of the best live bait is the gudgeon. Live bait should be placed close to the bottom. When fishing in the current, it is possible to use dead fish on the girders.

Catching pike perch in winter with sprat on the Kama
The Kama River is popular among outdoor enthusiasts due to its productive pike perch hunting. The optimal time for catching a predator is considered to be the period when the ice thickness has become safest for humans and there is no snow on the surface.
It is best to go hunting for predators in sunny, clear weather, choosing deep-sea places where fish gather for the winter.
On the Kama, fishing for pike perch is carried out using a miniature oscillating spoon that imitates a fry. A piece of sponge is attached to the hook of this bait to attract pike perch. It is raised slightly and then lowered.
The tackle consists of:
- an ordinary winter fishing rod;
- wire type coils;
- whip 20-50 cm long;
- elastic nod (deflection 5-25 degrees under the weight of the bait);
- monofilament fishing line, thickness depends on the weight of the bait.
The greater the weight of the spoon, the thicker the fishing thread.
Why do you need an underwater camera for fishing?
Fishing gadgets such as underwater cameras can make fishing more fun.
Using the gadget you can find out the following information:
- find out what kind of fish is in the pond;
- analyze the bottom topography and possible obstacles;
- find out which bait is most suitable for the selected reservoir;
- timely hook fish;
- record video and photos for your home collection;
- increase catch volume;
- determine the required depth for fishing;
- determine what type of gear is required for a given body of water.
With the help of special devices for underwater fishing, it is possible to turn fishing into an exciting hobby that will always delight you with the results.
Tackle and bait for jig fishing
Spinning must have:
Good sensitivity;
Super fast formation;
And most importantly, the ability to send, because the bait must be thrown over considerable distances in order to get a bite. Such places will be the edges of slopes and spits, where almost all predatory fish are located.
Also, the spinning rod for jigging must be equipped with a powerful reel of size 3000 - 4000 Series. Such reels are considered Power and cope with any freshwater fish.
It is better to choose a braided fishing line; it has good sensitivity and lacks stretchability, and when jig fishing this is simply necessary.
Now let's pay attention to the baits that are used in jigs
Currently, there are 2 types of baits: twisters and vibrotails.
Both options are great for catching any predatory fish. The twister is used as an active bait, since it has a very mobile wide tail, but the vibrating tail works better not only for active, but also for passive fish.
Both of these lures require appropriate animation. Jig is a classic, so the classic wiring would be reeling with pauses, the so-called step.
A variety of fish can be caught with a jig, but in Russia, with a jig they catch either pike, pike perch or bersh, one does not interfere with the other, and catfish are often caught.
Jig fishing can be carried out throughout the year, even in winter, except that in cold weather the fish are inactive and it becomes problematic to stir them up, and this can only be done with the help of a jig and its numerous retrieves.
You can fish with a jig in any body of water with a decent depth where there are predatory fish. If you once try to fish with silicone lures, you will be infected for life.

How does an underwater video camera work?
Underwater photography devices have common characteristics, differing only in the number of functions and the quality of the transmitted image on the screen. The entire device includes a monitor for the image, a cable for using the peephole at depth, a backlight and the peephole itself.
Modern models have the ability to transmit images to the monitor without delay, and the signal is not delayed, which is important for timely hooking of fish.
Depending on the type of model, cameras can be used at different depths; the eye is immersed using special coils, which not only lower and raise the lens, but also fix the cable at the required depth.
In reservoirs, especially in winter at great depths, infrared illumination is used, which does not scare off fish and allows you to display all the features of the bottom. Thanks to the backlight, the matrix is activated and transmits a clear image to the monitor.
In cases of insufficient lighting, the camera can switch to black and white shooting, due to which the device can be used in all conditions.
Zander biting on a float rod
Some fishermen do not part with traditional tackle, such as a float rod, and use it to catch any fish, including pike perch. The only difference is the use of bait such as live bait or pieces of fish. The nature of the bite largely depends on whether there is a current.
If a pike perch bites in calm water, then it takes the bait and quickly tries to go to cover. At the same time, the float sharply goes under the water and to the side. However, you shouldn’t rush into cutting. You need to wait a couple of seconds. The fact is that he can take the bait, pull it and immediately throw it away, sensing something wrong.
When fishing for pike perch in the current, a slightly different nature of the bite is possible. If the pike perch is interested in the bait, then he takes it as if reluctantly. First the float will sink and then straighten out. In this case, the float may move to the side. After several such tests, the float may disappear from sight. As a rule, this is followed by a hook.
