Perches fishing autumn is an interesting and delicate process. From September perch gather in flocks when they sense the approaching cold weather. They are in a hurry to gain fat and accumulate food reserves before wintering. At this time, the appetite of this fish is very strong. Activates as the oxygen density increases in the cooling water. And, like any fish, it feels most comfortable in such water areas. Therefore, everyone in the fall fishing options will surely bring a good catch to the fisherman if he knows the habits of the fish in autumn, their taste preferences and habitats well.
Perch fishing in autumn: September
In September, bass are determined to chase fry on the shores, leaving noticeable splashes. In large pools, coastal gulls will also aid in detection perch, who also do not like to feed on the running prey of an underwater predator. If a fisherman saw seagulls that periodically dive for fish, then he really needs to go and throw his gear in this place. In this case, the bait should be thrown a little further from the birds, so as not to scare the perch. Flocks of this fish do not stay in one place in September, but actively move through the waters of the entire reservoir. Therefore, successful perch fall fishing never without the skill and dexterity of a fisherman. If it is not possible to visually detect the traces of a school of bass, then it is worth starting to move along the coast until you get the first bait to detect the school of bass and the parking place.
October
Fall fishing for bass in October is weaker than in September, as fish activity and baiting gradually weakens. This is not only due to the deteriorating weather, but also due to the fact that the predator retreats to the depths by mid-autumn. Fishing for bass in autumn by spinning from a boat is the best way to catch fish. Most anglers prefer to catch bass with silicone baits. Passing is performed softly, without sudden movements and with longer pauses.
IMPORTANT! Passing should be done only after the bait has completely landed on the bottom.
November
This month, perch hunt during the day. baiting stability deteriorates and becomes unpredictable: today perch works like crazy and tomorrow - completely passive. Also, this characteristic is not related to the weather, as fish can behave this way on days when the temperature, wind and pressure are the same. In autumn, catching bass by spinning becomes more relevant than ever. Passing through the lower layers of water is done slowly. Lures are large and heavy. Steep banks with depth should not go unnoticed by the fisherman.
IMPORTANT! If the bait does not give the desired effect, try to replace it with another one. There is a lot to experiment with in fall fishing and you don't need to be afraid of it. Play around with bait weight, color, smell and type.
Fall bass fishing: Where to look and what they feed on
In early autumn, perch like to wander near thickets. Striped fish can often be seen at the beginning of the reed area. The inlets, eddies, clay and sandy bottoms are worth checking out. Perch has excellent camouflage, so it is not easy to see visually. However, knowing his deployment locations will not be difficult to catch. Perch fishing in September fishing rod from the shore is a good way to take a good catch. As for the other autumn months, you will have to look for predatory fish in the depths. Deep holes are ideal cover for them. Catching bass in autumn from a boat on a spinning reel can yield serious catches. At the end of autumn, schools of this fish can be found only at depth. Such a depth may not always be far from the shore: steep slopes flowing into large holes can give the fisherman a catch from the shore. Then catching bass even in late autumn from the shore offers a wide variety of options: on a floating rod, bottom line or spinning.
Perch feeding
Perch has a good appetite, so hungry fish rush to any small fish. If the victim was not caught and eaten the first time, then the perch will chase it until it is caught. He likes to chew fry, roaches, clams, crayfish and sometimes even one of his relatives. The food preferences of older fish are strikingly different from those of young bass. Young bass first eat small plankton, then move on to larger food such as worms and fry. However, sometimes, if the reservoir is rich in zooplankton, the bass may not participate in predatory hunting during its entire life. Because of this, bass are usually small. The largest perch are characterized by cannibalism.
