What is better for fishing?
Regarding the choice of tackle and bait, in March, pike actively reacts to live bait, large wobblers or vibrating spinners – it is recommended to catch it on a jig or spinning rod. Perch demonstrates average activity, so a jig or balancer with a bloodworm or small silicone will be effective.
Roach bites actively in the first month of spring, so it is worth catching it with a float rod on maggots or other small baits. Bream responds well to a feeder or winter rod with a bloodworm or worm, and pike perch can be caught on vibes or jigs with narrow spinners.
During this period, crucian carp are just emerging from winter passivity, so fishermen use a light feeder with worms and maggots.
