BIG CARP AND HOW YOU CAN capture

Most anglers consider to capture the big fish of a place is something that almost never happens. Some think it's a matter of luck, others consider that those who regularly catch the big fish is because they have more skill or knowledge that a normal fisherman. They are wrong.

I have caught some big fish, although I consider to have more skills and become more intelligent than normal. There are thousands of fishermen out there who could do so much better than me if they thought that it is possible to catch big fish.

I sure would like to catch some big fish and there is no reason not to. If you and I could fish together a dozen times it would be easy. Some people I have convinced myself did not believe they themselves and would have liked to know those things long before.

I can assure you that there are many bigger fish than most people think. It is true that some of them are in private waters and it is true that there is water where there is none but in most waters there are big fish and there are actually very few fishermen who have no chance of catching one of them. The fact that in some waters not catch big fish does not mean they do not exist. Sometimes big fish are caught by chance or luck but in most cases are captured by people who courts there for that purpose.

I know that occasionally someone who has been fishing comes with catching a big fish but very few anglers catching a specimen so without going looking for that purpose. In the magazine "Carp Angling" say that the average large fish caught per year is 2000 copies. We say there 4.000.000 fishing in England so doing a little calculation we find that every few thousand fishermen plays a big catch. Maybe that's why it is often called such fish "The fish life". Ignore this result, you can capture several big fish in a session doing things correctly. The proper way is to be methodical, do everything in its proper order of importance and obviously the most important is to locate the fish.

We assume that currently goes fishing to a safe water where some large specimens and you capture one of them. Given that the average fisherman does not catch "the big fish", we can learn from him seeing what he does and then deciding how our methods should differ from yours. What he does is to choose the place based on 3 things:

1.- A comfortable place to sit.
2.- A place where there are no obstacles in the water.
3.- A place with the wind hitting her back.

Having found such as fishing gets quickly. Your chances of catching a big fish are low and if you think you'll see why. Large fish are not rare but they are not so many as to find anywhere where you want to sit.

Before you start fishing should locate your fish and that takes time. Some species are easier to locate than others, but even with the easiest location it is complicated. Sometimes it can only guess where they are, but there is a big difference between an assumption based on acquired knowledge and a "blind". You have to consider how fish feed, what they eat, the effects of time on the water, the depth, where feed, where they go after, where they are at any time of day or night and when it is more likely to feed. Until you are clear about all these things you should not think about riding their gear.

In any lake or river there are many places where not pass any big fish. If you fish at random or just because it seems a good job, You can fish in every session and never show your bait to a big fish though there may be dozens in water.

It can often be mistaken in choosing the place even taking into account this series of things but sometimes chanced. You must understand that you can not catch fish unless where they are.

The second essential point is to avoid scaring the fish. Worthless know where they are if after the frightened. Let us again observe the normal fisherman, if you ask if the fish can see a fisherman on the job or feel the vibrations, he will tell you if they can and is right. If we stand near where we cast our baits should wear clothing that does not stand out much of the environment as well as handbags, covers, ... Nor should we introduce tripods erected on the shore. Ultimately we must move as inconspicuous as possible, as if we were not there.

The third essential point regarding use appropriate fishing gear. Our normal fisherman uses what you see other fishermen or what they advise him on the fishing shop and since he is copying Unsuccessful people, You will have little chance of being better. You must choose your fishing gear based on two arguments: ability to put the bait where the fish can find it and nail the fish if they take the bait.

We reached an important point, each essential point must be satisfied without canceling the other. We have seen that the second essential point is not to scare the fish and the third choice of gear, which should be governed by this rule also. No use properly locate fish, crawl cautiously and then launch an ounce lead over your head or fish with a very thick line. It is equally futile fishing with gear so thin and weak that if the bite occurred a big fish would be exposed to breakage. You must use your judgment which is the right gear and always try to improve the efficiency of gear. If you notice a bug in fishing gear and fix stop. There is a very high proportion of fish that are stuck and lost, some because the choice of gear was incorrect, other fisherman was unable to prevent breakage. It will detect your gear sometimes fail him, however be careful and try to up their rigs to be as perfect as possible, He will compensate and feel pleased with himself. Will inevitably tell the story of the boy who captured large fish with a stick of fencing or the little boy who caught a trout with a cane garden. We can say that its success was mainly based on luck and not because of the use of the correct gear. They are considered rigs not only cane, reel, hook and line but all the various items we use including sacadera.

The fourth key point is to choose the right time to fish. The fish are not always eating and the bigger they are, less often they feed. However they are not as big abstaining from food. You should not fear getting up too early or spend several continuous nights at the fishing station if necessary. You will cast many hours fishing the wrong time, but it chanced much more often if you try to predict when it is more likely to meet the fish.

The fifth essential point is to use the right bait. Our normal fisherman is more inclined to this option and have a lot of faith in special baits. Some people believe that there are secret ingredients that are put in baits to make them irresistible. This is not true. Most big fish are caught with simple and ordinary baits. If you consider the fourth essential point will be surprised to see the relative unimportance of the type of bait. This does not mean baits have no importance, It means you should not blame your bait until you are sure you have correctly carried out the fourth essential point. If you have located the fish and put your bait where they found him at the time they are feeding, using the correct gear, avoiding scare and after an hour or two has not had a bite then it's time to start wondering whether it would be advisable to change bait but advisable to wait three or four hours before making the change.

In choosing bait I would advise using a bait that often have been successful first, if you see that the election has not been successful change bait. For example, If you tempt carp with boilies and do not work, maybe consider changing corn. If the water is hard hit by normal carp fishermen you have had many opportunities to see that corn is a good food. However O, If fishing waters where there are many small fish (alburnos, bogas, escardinos ...) and he did not expect that these minnows attack our small baits like corn, worms ... This is what I mean by a good reason to find and use an alternative bait.

One of the difficulties of catching a big fish is that as a rule there are many smaller fish that big. A big fish can not take the bait if small one has taken before or if a bank of small fish has eaten our bait slowly leaving the hair with nothing. As a broad generalization the saying "a big bait for big fish" is good because a large bait is less likely to be taken by minnows. Normal fisherman uses bait usually too small, he would be amazed at the size of bait I use normally. It leans more baits too small than too large.

These are the five key points, I know you do not cover the problem completely, However, If fishing in this way will succeed occasionally. A blank day is considered completely lost only when you have not learned anything. If you think that fishing is based on luck you will learn little and draw few fish.

It will be found that I have not advised any fishing method, If you are looking to satisfy the essential points will see that the methods are chosen alone.

Over the years fishermen have faced problems and have sought to develop precise procedures. Millions of words have been written about how these should be made.

Besides fish material approach, It is the question of perspective fisherman, who may be the most important. The trust itself is a turning point, if you have self-confidence will succeed but also many disappointments. This is not easy to understand when you have not caught any big fish. Like learning to ride a bike or swim, It is a difficult start but once you learn is not that complicated. The larger the fish you capture easier to take the next, but start facing the fact that this type of fishing takes time and the start will not be easy. You can not use methods successfully used to catch small fish to catch big fish. Must often fishing in a manner designed especially to avoid catching small fish because as I said there are a lot smaller than big fish and you should be prepared to change quantity for quality. I'm sure you will not mind fishing six days without a bite if you were sure that the seventh would catch the monster.

In addition to trust there is another element in the approach to catching big fish does not possess at the start but can grow, it is a mixture of excitement, determination and persistence.

It must be methodical and start a fight between you and catch the big fish that can only end with success. This type of approach will help you better understand the limited thoughts of fish. Today there is much talk of conditioned reflexes in fish, This means that they have learned from experience that they have had. Fish species differ in their ability to learn, but all can learn to some degree and the older ones are those who have probably learned. You can determine how much you know, You can predict what will and thus avoid their knowledge. Anglers have completely extremist views: Some believe that can think like a human being and others believe that not much different from a worm. He did not overestimate his intelligence if you think it is almost the same as those of domestic birds.

Fish behave differently depending on whether the waters are not fished or. Fished in shallow water fish including the most intelligent suspect some gear but very easily alarmed to see a fisherman or vibration sensation when stepping heavily. So that, on a private lake carp they are difficult to catch because the waters have a lot of fishing pressure, fish are caught and released again and again. The smartest fish undoubtedly come to suspect a lot of gear.

Unfortunately, his familiarity with groundbait and bait hook, which they form part of their food source, It makes her even more difficult to capture.

The baitfish, on the other hand they seem unable to discriminate these foods in the same way. In heavily fished waters, suspect fish baits offered, while their instinct to flee when they detect the presence of humans is exceeded very slowly. All fish are inclined observing the gestures of their peers and this is especially true in the baitfish, because in this way the opportunity to see their peers is larger. You've heard the saying of the less water is caught easiest to catch fish containing, this is only true for fish like chubs, Bremer, percas small ... Most other species are often easier to catch in waters under great pressure to fishing. The more you learn about the fish you want to catch more likely you are to get it.

When we perform priming water must take into account the number of particles of food that we take and also the particle size. The greater the number of particles, and smaller size, greater concern taken by fish. further, big fish seem to show greater concern than smaller fish. Even contradictory to what previously said the option of groundbait and big bait on the hook works.

Obviously most knowledgeable fishing will get better results. I do not think you can read too much about fishing, but often you find opposing views, Although the books are all agreed on one thing, you must rely on their own experience but it is absolutely wrong. You will find many solutions to their problems on them, it will take useful little fragments combined with their experience will increase the effectiveness of your fishing. I advise warily accept articles written by men who often use the words "always" and "never". Mr. Gray was right when he said that those were the two less appropriate to speak or write about any subject angling words.

Manual dexterity is an aspect to consider but we must not give it more importance, there are many very skilled fishermen who catch a few big fish. So you're not clumsy is enough, You should not feel intimidated by other fishermen. The practice will improve your ability, so give the deserved importance to every thing.

You should not draw conclusions quickly. Some people think that this is the best bait, or the best rigs, or the best time, It based on the parameters surrounding the last great catch. You can start to think that a bait is good when captured large fish in different waters, and you should think the same way when draw conclusions from any aspect. Fishing could be defined as a series of problems. The greater your experience more unsolved problems will, and never solve all. The best advice I can give here is that before you try to fix a problem sure exactly what the problem is. When you make your fishing action in the best way possible, you should expect. Waiting is, in fact, hard work. Catch a big fish it involves a lot of hard work, the wait is only part. Perhaps the basis of all this is the huge satisfaction you feel when successful.
