Favorable days for fishing. Fishing in August: who, what and how to catch

To get a big catch, not only the place of fishing, equipment and bait matters, but also calendar days. Fish biting directly depends on the phase of the moon and weather conditions. Let's take a closer look at when and what kind of fish is best to catch.

Good days for fishing

You can spend time fishing in vain, or you can return with a good catch, having received great pleasure from being on the reservoir. The behavior and appetite of fish is largely dependent on the phase of the moon. Scientists have long concluded that this luminary has an impact on both humans and animals and plants. Very popular among anglers has become compiled annually

In July they catch on all amateur gear. On a spinning bait (preferably a tackle) they take

and large

(in deep holes)

- at the boundaries of aquatic vegetation,

- on small baubles (near herbs and bushes). When catching

sometimes gets

(on the rifts closer to the whirlpool).

Best caught at this time with a float fishing rod:

• pike perch - near the whirlpools and exits from the pits (on live bait).
• perch - in deep burrowed places, at the boundaries of aquatic vegetation (on a worm).
• roach - near grasses, in clearings between bushes and aquatic vegetation, near bridges (on maggot, grasshopper, greens, bread crumb, peas, corn dough).
• bream and ide - in deep places, near grasses (for peas, millet porridge, semolina dough, wheat, corn, worm, maggot, always with bait).
• tench - in the "windows" between grassy thickets (suitable places can be cleared of stems and algae in advance), near grasses (on a worm, bread crumb, better with bait).
• crucian carp - near herbs, in "windows" (on a worm, bread crumb, millet porridge).
• dace - on rifts, near steep banks (for grasshopper, maggot, worm).

What fish to catch in June

In June, they successfully catch pike perch from dusk to dawn, chub, ide, dace, roach (fly fishing and in wiring), among aquatic vegetation, any small fish takes well. With early spawning, after a short break, bream, carp, crucian carp, tench, and rudd begin to feed. The most effective fishing is on cloudy warm days with light winds, after short thunderstorms, during periods of stable atmospheric pressure.

The hottest month of the year is July. The heat reaches its peak and, of course, affects the activity of the fish - it becomes lethargic and begins to hide at the bottom, since it is coolest there.

In July, fishermen will need to either get up early in the morning when it's not too hot to catch their catch, or fish at night when the fish rise to the surface of the water to find something to eat.

The most favorable days for fishing in July 2018 are 3-9, 12-21 and 25-31. The rest of the summer is better to devote to other activities.

Fishing tackle in July

Every self-respecting angler dreams of a big and successful catch, but fishing is a very delicate matter and many nuances must be taken into account, and one of them is an auspicious day, which depends on the time of year, weather, moon phase and much more.

Of course, it is quite difficult to figure out all these subtleties on your own, so we will consider together with you when there are favorable days for fishing at different times of the year, depending on weather conditions and other equally important phenomena.

Favorable days for fishing

First of all, any fisherman is guided by weather conditions, including the direction of the wind, but not many people know that the phase of the moon and the time when it feeds most of all affect the catch of fish. The moon is able to have a strong influence on a number of several factors on which the fish itself depends.

This may include her need for food, which she hunts, and in a certain phase of the moon she does this especially actively.

Before you go for the next portion of the catch, pre-calculate the most suitable time for this (you need to do this when sunrise and sunset coincide with the full moon).

For many people

fishing in July

is a favorite pastime. Perhaps that is why today there are a great many varieties of gear that can be used for summer fishing of various types.

In the Perm Territory, crucian carp, gudgeon and, in the first half of the month, bream are successfully caught throughout the month. Biting of other fish species is deteriorating. This lasts until about August - September.

In the Leningrad region, there is a good biting of bream, asp, trout, grayling, ide, eel, catfish, roach; weakly take pike, perch, whitefish, chub, pike perch.

In the rivers of the Kola Peninsula, fishing for brown trout, trout, whitefish, and grayling is successful; in the lakes, it is good for perch, and pike for spinning and trolling.

July usually pleases the Irtysh fishermen. Usually in the first decade of the month there is a massive departure of mayflies, lasting 8-10 days with intervals of 1-2 days. They are excellent at catching various fish, including sterlet.

In southern reservoirs, carp, bream and other fish of the carp family are successfully caught on vegetable baits. In the Krasnodar Territory at night, catching catfish, carp, pike perch is effective. During the period of hot, sultry weather, the biting of any fish deteriorates sharply.

In the southern Caspian, July is the month of the highest air and water temperature. In the sea, it is advisable to fish only at night. During these hours it is also better to fish in rivers and lakes.

Fishing in July will be more successful if you give preference to combined baits, they are also great for fishing in July for dough, berries and boiled potatoes. The ideal bait for catching ide is steamed peas, and if you fly-fish, then grasshopper is better.

In July, burbot, as a rule, begins to clog into holes, so in the past it was caught by hand by the gills. It is good to catch crucian carp in July fishing, which bites on maggots, worms and bread.

And tench this month is caught for shell meat. For catching rudd on fishing in July, they usually use a float rod, and as a bait they use a May beetle, dragonfly, grasshopper.

July is the summer month with the most stable and highest air and water temperatures in the middle zone of the European part of Russia. The fisherman's calendar for July notices that, as a rule, it is in July that the “blooming” of water begins, that is, the massive development of microscopic algae in rivers and lakes.

In small reservoirs, under favorable conditions, this development can proceed very intensively and last for several weeks. Then the algae die off and begin to decompose.

This causes the fish to get sick and stop biting and catching. According to the angler's calendar for July, even freezes are observed in some reservoirs.

The angler's calendar says that the most favorable for catching fish in July are morning, evening and night hours, because on hot, hot days the fish becomes lethargic and does not bite. It is great to fish in July on cloudy, warm days, with occasional short rains and light winds. In such July weather, it is caught throughout the day.

• What to fish for in July

If you want to know what the fish are biting for in July, take note of the advice from the fish biting calendar in July, which recommends using grasshoppers as bait, which appear in droves in mowed meadows.

Grasshoppers are an excellent bait for catching fish in July - recommends the fisherman's calendar. The angler's calendar recommends continuing to catch catfish on the "kwok" in July.

On hot days, fishing on the rapids and rifts with bottom fishing rods, “in wiring” and “floating” is very effective. Especially interesting and exciting is catching the path and fly fishing for ides in the rivers, where they are found in large numbers.

In July, the hot season begins, it is at this time that the fish go to the bottom, escaping from the heat. If you want to get a qualitative and quantitative catch, you need to go fishing early in the morning or late in the evening.

It is great to go fishing in July on cloudy and rainy days, when the fish become more active due to the decline in heat. However, for example, carp feel great in warm water and do not hide on the bottom of the reservoir.

Auspicious days for fishing in July are July 3-9, the period from July 12 to July 21, July 25-31. These days the fish behaves more actively, swims for any food.

Fishing may be fruitless on the following days of July: July 1-2, July 10 and 22. With varying success, fishing will take place in July on all other days of July.

Here the main role will be played by your luck, skill and the right place to catch.

Forecast of fish biting activity in June

The prediction of biting fish on a fishing trip is an exciting activity. And experienced fishermen often do not need to look either at the angler's calendar, or at the fish biting calendar for July, and even at the lunar calendar.

But it will be useful for beginners not only to study them, but also to learn that despite the unfavorable forecast of biting according to the angler's calendar, fishing can take place excellent. It's just that the worse the forecast for fish biting, the more seriously and carefully you need to prepare for fishing, focus on gear, fishing tactics and bait with baits.

Looking at the angler's calendar for June, it is clear that the forecast for biting fish in June shows that after active biting in May, there is some calm in June. How can you not remember the fishing saying: June - spit on the fish.

Do not be upset, and in June the fish will peck, however, the bite will no longer be as active as at the beginning of the season. On the new moon and full moon, the bite should be expected to be weaker than in the previous month.

The influence of the moon will affect, and in May the fish will rest from the hungry winter, will be fed and become picky.

Lunar fishing calendar 2017

Experience is a stubborn thing, like statistics - there are errors, but you can’t ignore it. Therefore, we suggest that you study and take note of the lunar fishing calendar for 2017. The influence of the moon on our planet is huge, and we often forget about it. So the tides, ebbs and other factors of influence directly affect the biting of fish, not only sea, but also river.

July is the peak of summer. It's hot, so the angler's calendar marks a stable average bite of peaceful fish in July.

Zhor, and therefore an excellent bite, in July at rudd, bream, scavenger and bleak. The largest peaceful prey can be carp.

Of the predatory fish in July, catfish are caught well on kwok and asp on spinning, in which zhor is noted. Weak biting in July for pike and perch.

Capricious in catching tench and does not want to peck burbot in July.
.

You can spend time fishing in vain, or you can return with a good catch, having received great pleasure from being on the reservoir. The behavior and appetite of fish is largely dependent on the phase of the moon. Scientists have long concluded that this luminary has an impact on both humans and animals and plants.

Very popular among anglers has become compiled annually

Lunar calendar that determines the days of good, medium and weak bite:

• The first phase is the new moon is the most unfavorable period for fishing, at this time there is practically no biting, the same is true two days before this time and for four days after.
• Waxing Crescent is the most favorable period for catching fish, the bite is as strong as possible, the fish are caught larger, the mood improves significantly and you can get a lot of positive emotions from the time spent.
• On a full moon large fish, on the contrary, ceases to peck, attacks mainly a trifle. This phase of the moon is uncertain and causes rather strange phenomena, also in the behavior of the inhabitants of reservoirs.
• Waning moon also not conducive to fishing. The fish stop biting three days before this time, and, therefore, no catch and no pleasure from fishing can be obtained.

It should also be remembered that the maximum activity of the fish is observed at the time of its feeding, namely within 90 minutes in the morning and evening, that is, 45 minutes before and after sunset and sunrise.

Using the information available, you can determine the days when it is best to go fishing, but this cannot prevent you from relaxing by the river with a fishing rod on any calendar day if you wish. These are only recommendations, and all decisions are left to fishing enthusiasts.

Favorable days for fishing in June

June is the first month of summer and is quite gentle in terms of heat, which has not yet reached its maximum level. For fishing, this period can be called almost ideal, the fish eats with great appetite, while catching the maximum number of its species is allowed. The exceptions are the first days of the month, when there is a short break after the spring zhor.

But from 10 to 16 and from 23 to 29 there is maximum activity of fish and the best bite. The new moon will come on the 5th, and, therefore, we skip this period. Also unfavorable will be the full moon, which occurs on June 20.

White fish begins to feed intensively, which rises to the surface of the reservoir for food, actively pecking at the bottom of bream, carp and catfish. In many places, the presence of roach and rudd is observed, especially in weak and moderate currents, pike strictly follows them.

Closer to sunset, you should pay attention to pike perch, in cloudy weather it will be good to peck carp.

Favorable days for fishing in July

The middle of summer is usually characterized by maximum heat, the fish, hiding from the sun, go to the depths. A good option during this period would be night fishing, in which the influence of the moon on the behavior of fish is even more enhanced, as well as morning hours and twilight.

The moon will not be visible in the sky on July 4, the bite at this time will be absent both during the day and at night. The full moon will come on July 19, but this month, even with this phase of the moon, you can catch big fish using enlarged bait and large fractions. The best days for fishing this month are the numbers from 10 to 15 and from 22 to 28.

During this period, it will be successful to catch catfish on a kwok near deep holes, it will be good to catch pike perch in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bfast currents from a boat with the help of a spinner, pike and perch will become available near aquatic vegetation. Carp, as the most heat-loving fish, will be active, pecking at both vegetable baits and maggots.

Favorable days for fishing in May

Most fish species go through a spawning period by May. These are perch, roach, asp, ide, pike and zander. Spawning begins at catfish and white bream. According to the phases of the moon, the best days for fishing will be from May 1 to 2, from 11 to 17 and from 24 to 31.

The bite will be bad on the new moon, which falls on May 6, as well as two before it and two - three days after it, and unpredictable on the full moon on May 21.

Pike and perch are located near coastal vegetation, they will bite especially well in reservoirs where there are few forage fish and on large rivers. In the second half of the month, roach activity will increase, reaching its maximum value. However, it often goes into shallow water or swims very close to the shore.

During this period, catching carp, tench, carp and catfish, which are in the period of active spawning, is prohibited in public reservoirs. It should be noted that this prohibition does not apply to paid reservoirs, where everything depends on the decision of the owner.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective ones:

1. . Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates their appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to ban its sale.
2. More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear you can find on the pages of my site.
3. Lures using pheromones.

Signs of a Good Fishing Day

A good bite is observed before a thunderstorm or in a warm short-term rain

Fish are active under favorable conditions for their life. According to constant observations, this is usually the water temperature in the range from +10 to +25 degrees, atmospheric pressure with a slight deviation from the norm of 760 mm Hg, and the absence of gusty winds.

It should be noted that favorable conditions at different times of the year can vary greatly. For example, an unacceptable gusty wind in summer does not at all prevent fish from pecking in early spring and in autumn, when its appetite increases significantly.

Different types of fish also each react in their own way to the weather and its various manifestations. Some like warmer water like carp and catfish, others like pike and walleye like cooler water. The same applies to atmospheric pressure, wind and other indicators.

Favorable conditions for successful fishing are:

• Stable weather for several days.
• Unchanging barometric pressure, while the sounds in nature become muffled, objects are covered with haze, the sunrise usually has a golden or pinkish hue.
• A long period of slightly windy weather at constant pressure and low temperature.
• Clear or partly cloudy weather with little temperature difference between day and night.
• A slight westerly wind, which does not make the water unfavorable for the life of fish.
• In spring, the fish bite well on a clear day or in cloudy but warm weather.
• In summer it is preferable to catch right after the rain. or even during a warm rain, on a clear, quiet, cool morning with a little mist, when it is not yet very hot.
• In autumn, calm cloudy weather without precipitation with light fog is considered favorable.

Along with favorable weather conditions, a number of negative factors can be identified:

• A sharp change in any of the main indicators of weather conditions entails a decrease in fish biting.
• Low atmospheric pressure, as well as its fluctuations and a sharp drop, adversely affect.
• Intense heat in summer, when the water warms up above +25 ° FROM.
• In winter, the sharp cooling that occurs after the thaw adversely affects.
• Strong wind at any time of the year (more than 11 m/s).
• Gusty and squally winds have a very negative effect on fishing results.
• Simultaneous increase in frost and wind in winter.
• A sharp change in wind direction with its intensification.
• A sharp decrease or increase in illumination by 8-10 times or more.
• Sudden change in water level.
• Strong increase in water turbidity.
• Magnetic storms.
• A sharp increase in air humidity up to 90% or more.

To get a big catch, not only the place of fishing, equipment and bait matters, but also calendar days. Fish biting directly depends on the phase of the moon and weather conditions. Let's take a closer look at when and what kind of fish is best to catch.

Also, there is an adjustment depending on the geographical location of the area. Each fisherman makes his own corrections for himself based on his personal observations.

Auspicious signs of successful fishing are also natural phenomena that have been noticed by man since ancient times:

• A light fog spreads over the water;
• Swallows soar high in the sky;
• The fry rise to the surface of the water in search of insects;
• At the same time, pikes actively chase fry;
• A good bite is observed before a thunderstorm or in a warm short-term rain.

How long have you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HEALTHY pikes/carps/breams?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perches, but ten kilogram pikes - this will be a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone knows how.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home, you can buy it in fishing stores. But it is expensive in stores, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be honest, homemade bait does not always work well.

Do you know that disappointment when you bought bait or cooked it at home, and caught three or four bass?

So maybe it's time to use a really working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

It gives the very result that we cannot achieve on our own, all the more, it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on manufacturing - ordered, brought and go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Especially now - the season! When ordering, this is a great bonus!

Learn more about bait!

Do not miss the rudd zhor, perch "cauldrons" and funny roach. Fishing in August is very exciting.

FROM THE AUTHOR: Well, the summer heat has begun to subside. Fishing in the thick of it is not much fun, and there is almost no result. Fishermen and feederists observed bites only at morning and evening dawns. Caught mainly bream, crucian carp and roach. Traditionally, at this time of the year, paid reservoirs in the Opochets and Pechora regions were popular, where, having fed well, you can count on a bite of a weighty carp and carp ...

Judging by the inspired stories, this year many people discovered ponds in the Barabanov area, not far from Opochka. Record carp weighing up to two kilograms pecked not so rarely, and ordinary catches were about 30-40 kilograms. True, there were also biteless days, but in this case it was possible to sin on the weather or the “wrong” nozzle.

Two in one
Spinners also got ready to go home early if the fishing was in the morning. Small lakes in June and July were completely overgrown with duckweed and were excluded from the visited points. It remained to get out either to the vast expanses of the Pskov-Chudsky reservoir or to catch on the Velikaya River and other more or less large rivers and their tributaries.
Pike, if you can call it that of laces up to one and a half kilograms, was present only in bonuses. Those who caught on live bait gear counted on decent specimens. Although on Lake Kamennoye in the Opochets region, one of my acquaintances was also lucky. When he was pulling up a small pike cub to the boat, it was grabbed by a five-kilogram “mother”.

Such situations happen quite often, but usually end in vain - near the boat itself, the pike releases the intercepted prey and safely hides. This time, the angler's partner skillfully handled the landing net, and the unexpected catch - "two in one" - became a well-deserved reward for the spinning duo. These are the miracles that natural food does.

The ubiquitous perch, chub and asp were the most massive object of fishing for spinning enthusiasts in July. Some people managed to raise catfish from the bottom, but here the information is scarce, because such catchy points practically do not give up.

We are waiting for Zhor from Airborne Forces Day
With the onset of August, the fishing situation in terms of shifting emphasis on fish species will gradually change. But at the beginning of the month there will still be a high probability of catching catfish, carp and large carp. Floaters can count on zhor rudd and bleak. Bream and bream will also not refuse the proposed bait.
According to the observations of experienced anglers, the bite of predatory fish will noticeably increase somewhere from August 15th. Again in the course will be fishing with circles, on the track and trolling.
It is noticed that after the day of the prophet Elijah, the water becomes colder, and the nights become cooler. From this moment on, the fish begins to prepare for the zhor, therefore, the hours of its biting are stretched so that only at noon you can “dry the fishing rods”, and the rest of the time the bites will not keep you waiting.
There will be positive changes in the conditions of fishing, the flowering of water will finally stop, and this will significantly expand the places of approach to fish.
Catfish prefer deep holes

Giant catfish is always a desirable, but, alas, unattainable prey for most fishermen in our region. You need to focus on catching catfish, it rarely comes across in bycatch. Such fishing requires knowledge of the topography of the reservoir, strong gear, endurance and great luck.

If you catch a catfish with a donkey-type snack, frogs, pieces of spoiled meat, and fried sparrows are taken as bait. When fishing with spinning, the result is brought by deep wobblers and large oscillating lures with a slow game.

Catfish's favorite habitats are deep pits and pools with snags. It is characteristic that at night the catfish also feeds in the upper warm layer of water, where the depth can be only half a meter. And before a thunderstorm, he begins to intensively and actively feed, forgetting about everything.

The pike of medium and large sizes is in a stupor until mid-August. She hides in pits and in the very thick of coastal algae. Experienced spinningists go fishing far in the dark and catch toothy from morning until sunrise, as well as late evening dawn. The main weapon in such fishing - spinners-unhooks, surface gliders, shallow wobblers and silicone baits on Texas rigs with offset hooks.

From the second half of the month, water bodies get rid of small duckweed and there is more space for fishing. Now turntables and small spinners go into battle. The color of lures is usually natural shades, provocative coloring is acceptable only in case of muddy water.

Catch a perch - just spit
August is one of the best perch months. Frankly speaking, the perch bites beautifully all summer long. The peak of activity, unlike the pike, is shifted to a lighter time of the day, but the priority is morning and evening. If the day is overcast or even rainy, you can fish all day long.
The perch greedily grabs various types of spinning lures: spinners from zero to number three, small wobblers like “chabik” from the Jackal, various silicone bugs, crustaceans and worms on a jig basis. In the case of silicone baits, it is better not to waste time on trifles and purchase edible options from trustworthy manufacturers. Acceptable options can be found at Favorit and Kasadaka. If finances allow, then you should pay attention to the products of famous Japanese manufacturers, the bites on them are very confident, and the baits themselves are more durable.

In August, on lakes and rivers, driven hunts of flocks of perches for fry, the so-called "boilers", are often observed. Here, as they say, do not yawn, throw the bait towards the boiler and, as a rule, this is followed by an instant bite. If several hooks are installed on a fishing line or braid, then with a high probability the fish will hang on all of them. When you pull one to you, several brothers swim side by side and grab the fins of the fallen comrade. The sight is very funny.
Perch catches can also impress the bait, if, of course, the place is well chosen. In this case, a worm, maggot or leech is put on the hook from the back of the water lily leaf. Like pike, perch can be caught on live bait tackle, in this case there should be a lively fry on the hook. In some cases, such fishing can bring a very significant catch, and the size of the “sailors” will please.

If it is not difficult to catch a dozen or two perches in August, then catching an asp, and even a large one, is the dream of many anglers. In many cases, hunting for asp is akin to a folk saying: "The eye sees, but the tooth is numb." On the evening and morning dawns, the fight of the asp is visible from afar. He silences the fry and collects it in his voluminous mouth. You can only throw the bait to the battlefield with long-range tackle, but this is not a guarantee of a bite. But if an asp encroached on your spinner, lure or wobbler, a pleasant fight follows the bite. An asp for two kilograms is already a solid trophy.

Chub, carp and carp are famous for their cool hauling
A chub in August pecks, if not for the “excellent”, then definitely for “good”. Spinners love this fish for an unexpected and strong bite in the style of a "lightning strike", floaters and bottom fish - for stubborn resistance when playing. In hot weather, the chub stays in the area of ​​rifts, closer to the upper layers of the water. When it gets cold, the fish move to deeper places.

When fishing with a bait, the main baits are maggot, worm, cubes of sausage or cheese. Spinningists prefer to catch chub on small turntables and wobblers like Yuzuri L-minnow - 33 and 44.
As in July, paid ponds with carp and carp will also attract those who want to get a fair dose of adrenaline from playing strong and weighty fish in August. In fact, this is a bit of an elite type of fishing. An ordinary float rod with standard tackle is not suitable here, you need a strong feeder tackle for long-distance casting and extreme fighting. You can’t do without abundant bait either, you have to cook appetizing porridge. There are no problems with the nozzle now, fishing stores offer special boilies that contain a different set of ingredients. There are gourmets who bring makukha from their holidays at sea, and this ensures that the fish pay more attention to the bait.

Cheerful bite - at the roach
Roach throughout the summer pleases with its bite even beginner anglers. Toward the end of August, with the cooling of the water, the activity of this fish increases and solid specimens peck more and more often.

In principle, it is not difficult to catch it, while the choice of baits is quite wide: worm, maggot, pellets of bread, grasshopper, caddisfly larvae. It happens that as a by-catch, roach comes across to spinningists who are keen on catching sensitive gear with microbaits.
From all of the above, it follows that August is a great month for both beginners and advanced anglers. You can catch both a predator and various peaceful fish. The main thing is to choose the most catchy baits and choose the appropriate fishing method, then success will certainly come.

The influence of the moon on our planet has been studied since ancient times. It extends to many areas of our lives, but we often do not attach importance to it. The moon in particular affects the biting of fish, its activity not only in the seas, where the night queen controls the tides, but also in rivers and lakes. That is why we are compiling a fish biting calendar for July 2018, look at the tips that the angler's lunar calendar gives for July 2018.

The second month of summer is the hottest, the water begins to bloom, the bite weakens. The fish prefers shaded places hidden from the sun, sits in holes, under snags, in thick grass, near streams, springs, rifts and rapids. The nibble begins at the border of night and day, when it is barely light.

Best fishing days in July 2018: from 12 to 14, as well as from 25 to 29 of the month.
Days of good fish biting: from 3-9, 16-21.
Bad biting fish: 10, 22.

Biting on the donkey, spinning and circles during this period is sluggish and intensifies only in cloudy weather or after rain, when perch and pike perch, sometimes medium-sized pike, begin to take. It is better to catch zander on live bait at dusk on the shallows, where he goes to hunt for fry. Asp continues to be caught by spinning on the border of quiet shallow water and rapids.

Lunar calendar of the angler for July 2018: phases of the moon

Auspicious days for fishing and biting according to the lunar calendar for July 2018

In July, the hot season begins, it is at this time that the fish go to the bottom, escaping from the heat. If you want to get a qualitative and quantitative catch, you need to go fishing early in the morning or late in the evening. It is great to go fishing in July on cloudy and rainy days, when the fish become more active due to the decline in heat. However, for example, carp feel great in warm water and do not hide on the bottom of the reservoir. Auspicious days for fishing in July are July 3-9, the period from July 12 to July 21, July 25-31. These days the fish behaves more actively, swims for any food. Fishing may be fruitless on the following days of July: July 1-2, July 10 and 22.

When is the best time to fish according to the lunar calendar in July 2018

The hottest month of the year is July. The heat reaches its peak and, of course, affects the activity of the fish - it becomes lethargic and begins to hide at the bottom, since it is coolest there.

Predatory fish are biting more and more actively, and the peaceful one does not lag behind in activity. It is in August that you can get fishing for trophy catfish, hardened pike, and weighty carp. The bream and roach are still merrily pecking, perch are chasing fry, chub and ide are steadily grabbing bait. Let's figure out what is special about fishing in August, what kind of fish to catch in August, what baits and tackle are needed for fishing in the last summer month.

Gradually the day is shortened, the nights become cooler, and the water temperature also drops. The fish become more active and its biting improves in August. Don't miss the moment. Fishing in August is good because you can catch both peaceful fish and predatory fish, which begin to actively chase small fish in the water that has brightened after the death of algae. At the same time, it should be understood that the clearer the water, the more cautious and shy the fish are - so remember about disguise. Also, fishing in August is also loved because right now on the rivers you can catch such trophy fish as catfish, carp, grass carp, silver carp, carp and others, which are more difficult to catch the rest of the time. Closer to September, the fish begins to actively accumulate fat before wintering.

Tackle

Fishing in August is not complete without spinning. It is in this month that spinning fishing improves dramatically: spinningists successfully catch large pikes and perches. Not bad takes asp, pike perch, chub and ide.

Fishing is good in August on vents, paths and circles, which are often caught by predators.

Floaters rush in August to go fishing for perch, which is caught for worms and fry. On a float rod in August, craftsmen catch both pike for live bait and even a frog, and roach (for a worm, maggot, grasshopper, bread crumb), as well as bream, ide, dace, silver bream, silver carp (for a worm, maggot, bread crumb and millet porridge).

Fans of August fishing know that chub, dace, roach are well caught at this time by fly fishing and wiring.

Good fishing in August on the bottom bait. With the help of a donkey, a perch is caught on a fry, a chub and an ide are caught on a frog and a spindle, and a trout is caught on small fish and worms. It is worth noting that in August burbot fishing gradually begins to resume, which, having become hungry for the summer, greedily grabs live bait, spindle, worm, frog.

Bait

In August, the catching of predators improves, both on lakes and on large rivers. More and more often you can see bold bites of perch - fishing in August is traditionally good for both fry and ordinary worms.

Pike, pike perch in August go for lures and silicone baits. Fishing in August for pike and zander gives excellent results if you catch it with spinning “on the track”. The pike gradually begins to fatten up and prepare for winter. At the end of August, the real zhor will begin at the pike. This is the time for intensive catching of a toothy predator, which in the last decade of the month will already begin to aggressively grab any spinners and wobblers offered by the spinner.

Roach and bream in the last summer month do not mind tasting animal bait. Fishing in August for roach and bream is better for feeder and bottom tackle.

Ide and chub

It prefers to be caught in the rivers on frogs, however, pike can also be caught with such bait

Pike

Pike fishing in August has a number of features. In the first half of the last summer month, when the water is still warm, pike hides in the lower layers of the reservoir. At the end of August, the water gradually cools, and the activity of the pike grows, it begins to eat and actively accumulate fat for a cold winter. Since the days are still quite warm in August, and the nights are already quite cool, the main pike bite begins in the morning, before sunrise, in cold water. Pike bites occur in the morning both on the very edge of the grass, and 1-3 meters from the grass carpet, in open water. After a cool night, pike can actively move and attack prey and spinning lures over long distances. August is an unpredictable month for pike fishing - at one time it will react to live bait, and at another - any artificial bait will work.

Zander

This river fish is very fond of running water, so the best place for catching pike perch in August will be a stream of water, and not where the river is wide with a slow current. If you decide to try your luck and catch pike perch in a pond, you need to remember one feature - fishing in August for pike perch will be more successful if you look for it in places with a rocky or sandy bottom. For catching zander in August, you can use wobblers, silicone twisters or vibrotails. But you need to take into account the fact that this fish has a very narrow throat, so you need to choose small baits. The technique of fishing in August for zander on spinning is practically no different from the technique of catching another predator (for example, pike). In addition, you can catch pike perch in August on a donk or mugs.

Perch

On the rivers perch stands, as a rule, in sparse thickets, preferring a slightly silty bottom. Young perch keep to the coastal zone, bays and backwaters. The larger predator prefers deep, crooked places, flooded trees, and sandy rolls. In August, finding a perch is not difficult - it is easy to calculate it by the behavior of small fish, which, escaping from it, literally jumps out of the reservoir. Accordingly, the best bait for fishing in August for perch is live bait. Not bad have also proven themselves such baits as: beetle larvae, bloodworms, small worms. Also, fishing for perch in August can be quite effective if you fish with a spinning lure or twister. It is not bad to catch perch in August and on a float fishing rod from the shore.

catfish

In summer, the catfish is active closer from evening to dawn. It is found at the exits from the pits and at the depth differences. At night, catfish feed in the upper warm layer of water, where the depth can be only half a meter. Catfish can be seen by the characteristic champing and powerful bursts. But if there is muddy water in the reservoir, then the catfish is looking for prey during the day, as well as during rain. And before a thunderstorm, he begins to intensively and actively feed, forgetting about the dangers. August is the best time for catching catfish on donkeys, which are thrown both into the pits where the fish stands, and close to them - on the shallows where the catfish feeds. When fishing with a bottom rod, the bait must be lowered to the ground in a pool or on a coastal shallow at a rift, at the exit from the pit, at the mouth of a tributary. Live fish or frogs are used as bait. Also good fishing in August for catfish for spinning with oblong spinners and wobblers.

Carp

Carp is a coveted trophy, and fishing in August can give you one. Any carp fishing in August begins with a search for promising places. If the weather is not hot, the carp feeds at depth, preferring the muddy bottom with depressions and snags. The usual depth at which carp keeps under favorable conditions is from 2 to 7 meters, but with a strong wind rising, it can visit shallow water. If the weather is very hot, you will have to look for carp in the reeds. Fishing in August for carp is more productive from 8 pm until dawn. At lunchtime, the activity of the carp is practically reduced to nothing. Feeders are usually used as fishing gear in August for carp, and cereals are used as bait. For bait, it is good to use floating micro boilies, fishing on the top is also very common.

Roach

In August, the roach comes across not only off the coast, but also deeper and again begins to take well on the worm and bloodworm. The bite becomes more defined. A novice fisherman also knows how to catch roach in August. This fish bites quite well almost all year round, and the last month of summer is no exception. However, the angler's calendar for August contains information that towards the end of the month, roach activity increases significantly, and the chances of catching a decent specimen increase. In preferences for bait and bait, roach does not fundamentally change its tastes: worm, bread, maggot, bloodworm, caddisfly, semolina. Not bad roach is caught in August and on small spinners.

Bream

In August, the bream is also active. Like roach, it now bites better on animal baits (worm, bloodworm). But fishing does not begin at dawn, as in July, but from 8-10 o'clock. In warm and quiet weather, bream comes across during the day. The bream is a bottom-dwelling fish and prefers to stay close to the bottom for most of its life. It also avoids a place with a fast current, so fishing for bream in August is better on calm parts of a reservoir or river. Bream can be found in bays, at the bends of rivers, where it is more or less calm and there is depth. With the advent of dusk or in inclement weather, the bream comes closer to the shore, so a float rod will come in handy here. And with the dawn, again rushes into the depths. When choosing a place, it should be borne in mind that this fish does not like the sandy bottom, the best bream fishing is in August in areas where the bottom is clayey and slightly silty.

Chub

The chub in August prefers to keep to deeper places with a slow current. Here it is best to catch it with a bottom fishing rod for small gudgeon, crayfish meat or barley shells, sausage or cheese cubes, chicken intestines, bread spool, river lamprey larva, frog, pieces of lard. For fishing, a rigid elastic rod with a reel is perfect. Moreover, the coil after casting must be put on the brake. If it is weak, then the fishing line can be swept over the handle of the reel to eliminate the possibility of pulling off the fishing line during sharp bites. For baits such as cubes of sausage or cheese, cancer meat, pellets of bread, it is advisable to take small triple hooks No. 5-6.
