Properly selected bait has a direct effect on bream fishing efficiency. The composition, consistency of the mixture together with baits is an integral part of tactics and technique in bream fishing. In this article, we will look at the features of feeding, how to make bait for bream at home and how to use store mixes.
Features of heat comfort
Bait for bream should have large and tasty feed particles. Small bait particles only attract the fish to the point. But in order for the fish to stay on the point and start feeding, the bait must contain enough large feed particles. Bait for bream up to 40% should consist of coarse feed particles and the rest of the base, flavors, soil and other additives.
The base, flavorings and everything else have a secondary function. Small bait particles in the water create a certain turbidity, particles, aromatic substances are deposited - and the fish notices the feeding place earlier. If feeding fine particles at the point, bream will not stay long, because in that case there is nothing for him to eat.
Don't forget to put in the bait and lure you catch. This is necessary in order to get the bream used to eating the component you catch. If we catch a worm, we need to add its pieces to the bait. If we put the bait on the hook, we mix the bait into the bait.
Bait composition for bream
Store-bought mixes are not fully prepared. It's just a base - a base of fine particles. Bait for bream consists of this base no more than 60%. The rest of the volume should be occupied by large feed particles. It does not matter whether the bait for bream is made with our own hands or we use store-bought mixtures - the principle of the ratio of bait particles must be followed.
- The basic foundation: 50-60% full bait. This is a fine bait mix. It can be store bought or made at home from compound feed, crackers or a mixture of these.
- Large bait particles: up to 40%. Additives of animal origin (earthworms, boars, moths), coarse grain particles (peas, corn, barley, wheat).
- Aroma: depending on the season and reservoir. Karsi flavors are different everywhere. Traditional bream flavors - cinnamon, fennel, dill, anise, coriander, garlic, as well as sweet summer flavors (vanilla, strawberry, plum, corn). Aromas are used carefully and dosed. You don't have to use a cocktail, it's important to pinpoint what works and use it.
- Flavor enhancers: You can use special fishing - molasses. Flax seeds, peanuts have a laxative effect on the bream, the fish starts feeding heavily because it cannot get enough.
Selection of bait for bream according to the season
The indisputable fact is that bream changes its taste priorities depending on the season of the year. This is due to the changed temperature regime of the water in the tank, which significantly slows down all the vital functions of the fish when it cools down. During the year, bream feed must be flexible in its composition, you must adapt to the behavior and taste of the fish. In warm waters, schools of bream feed more actively, but at the same time they are picky, because there is enough natural, attractive and accessible food. In winter, the fish's nutrition is weak, the fish gets full quickly, it is difficult to lure them to the fishing place, they move little, staying in the wintering holes and their surroundings. Therefore it is necessary to choose a fishing spot where there are fish, because it is practically impossible to attract them with feed.
Bait for bream is spring
After the winter semi-anabiosis, the bream starts actively looking for food. After serious weight loss, they need high-calorie food, and the energy-intensive spawning season is coming. In the spring, bream are not picky and will accept practically any bait with a high animal component. In the spring, it is difficult to overfeed the fish, so you should not be afraid of providing high-calorie food. Matilius and crushed earthworm are able to keep a flock of bream at the feeding place for a long time. Boiled porridge with small additions of honey and vanilla attracts fish with a sweet aroma.
Bait for bream is summer
In summer, bream become picky about tastes. That bream fishing to be successful, you need to know his taste ration. In warm water, fish don't need high-calorie bait, so you can now bait with a focus on plant-based ingredients alone.
Suitable flavors of sweet taste and fruit aroma for the bait are selected based on the test feedings and the analysis of the intensity of baiting that follows them. The scents of cinnamon, anise and coriander are preferred. Strawberries and plums are more promising in the berry-fruit direction of aromas. The closer to autumn, the less fragrant additives should be used.
Bait for bream - winter / autumn
Animal components should be added to the bream bait again in winter and autumn. In cold water, fish are sensitive to strong odors and are more likely to ignore them, so it is better not to use sweet bait additives. However, the natural smell of animal food, game, earthworms and moths is a great lure for fish. But it should not be multiplied either.
Baits consisting of small fractions are more effective in keeping fish on the bait than baits with large particles. The brightness and distinctiveness of the spot in a dull area in clear and cold water also attracts fish using a very intense unnatural color.
