| | Ice fishing:
Probably, the inter-season period is a difficult time for fishermen. It is not possible to catch fish from the shore and unbearable to wait till the ice is formed. Moreover, the weather changes several times in a day. But, habitually you pack the fishing rod in the trunk and while going to the office think of various excuses to take leave from the suffocating office during lunchtime. And after obtaining permission from the boss you understand that the time is not suitable for fishing.
Don’t worry, the best season for fishing – ice fishing is approaching.
True connoisseurs know that ice fishing is a song. At last, we can leave soft sofas, throw the TV remote and go out to conquer ice spaces. We drill holes without noticing, in a passion, in the freezing cold of minus 30oC, warming ourselves with alcohol from a hidden flask and get an unearthly euphoria from biting. Therefore, ice fishing is romantic. The white, blinding eyes sun, reflected in ice crumbs. It is a biting wind that is striking you in the face. It is when you do not notice the fingers, which turned blue due to the biting cold. It is more exciting than beer and a new computer game. That is why; ice fishing is a delight for real men, who are not afraid to freeze oneself by sitting on an aluminum stool for a half a day waiting for a catch. That is why, even the scrubbiest small fish caught during a bite-less period of ice fishing is a catch and trophy.
And more over, ice fishing is cheerful. After all, where on earth other than during ice fishing do you feel as one of the thousands of penguins, which are on a hunt? And then - the penguin, which succeeded in hunting and hence, it is unlikely to be happy or maybe, is already drunk (but it is certainly not about us). It is true that later on the penguin may not be let-in home but all these things are not so significant. After all, not taking similar precedents into consideration, skilled fishermen, nevertheless, advise us to carry some hot drinks during ice fishing. After all, anything may happen. Doctors do not recommend consuming alcohol but we know that all this is nonsense. And in general, fishing in winter requires warm company. Really, it's boring to sit on ice in proud loneliness. Besides, the old truth that a fisherman can see another fisherman from afar is justified by 100 in winter. Any clever man compulsorily drills holes several centimeters away from your hole as soon as you take out the first fish from the hole. That is when; you take out the hidden flask.
Beautiful winter has onset. And our fans of fishing cannot wait till the onset of cold weather. They wait for the reservoirs to be covered with ice and it will make way for catching fish from the ice, which is possible on any section of the reservoir.
You just imagine: frost, sun shine, the snow shines and the ice is iridescent. The frost bites the cheeks and nose.
At times, ice fishing is much more interesting than summer fishing and can be very productive. Usually, ice fishing is taken up by skilled fishermen, those who have already mastered fishing during the summer period. Many have noticed how people move from one place to another place on frozen water reservoirs. They identify a place and sit for hours together motionless. Ice fishing fascinates and attracts. It is some kind of a narcotic.
Many can express that it is awfully uninteresting to sit motionless in winters on a frozen reservoir and wait for a much awaited catch.
The person who has decided to set out for ice fishing during winter, should understand the peculiarities of ice fishing, which tackles are necessary for ice fishing, fishing methods, which baits are to be used and how correctly to be dressed so as not to freeze and certainly, it is necessary to understand the personal safety rules. Generally, it is necessary to carefully prepare for ice fishing.
Fishing should bring satisfaction and in any case, should not be injurious to your health.
During ice fishing:
Pulling out a large fish from a hole using a thin fishing line is to be avoided. It is necessary to hold the fish in the hole with your hand – with two fingers holding the head of the fish from the top near the gills.
For removing the hook, press several times on the gill covers - the fish opens the mouth by itself.
Always throw the ice from the hole against the wind – for ice, thrown downwind shall constantly clutch onto the fishing line.
During ice fishing, regularly clear the ice not only from the hole but also from the fishing line. The bite is poorly visible in un-cleared holes and the fishing line constantly brushes against an ice crumb.
It is good to try to catch fish in places which have many old holes - which indicates good biting recently. It would be more advisable if the fishing is done in the shallows in the morning and in the evenings move to deeper water in the afternoon.
