Carp is one of the most attractive species for sport fishermen. Throughout the peninsula we find it in various reservoirs and swamps and its search and capture is quite a challenge, that is why the emotion and preference in its fishing.
La hook fishing is obviously very prolific. Let's review in this post some recommendations for carp fishing with the right hook that gives real results at the time of our continental fishing day.
Carp fishing with a hook
La spring is the best time to start our carp fishing season. It is the time when we can locate it more quickly, this because the females prepare to spawn. At the end of spring and beginning of summer, carp usually rise to the surface looking for the heat of the season, which is why they offer an excellent fishing opportunity.
The tents are guided by shapes and contrasts That is why anything you can locate on the hook can be a source of curiosity and, therefore, a bite.
For cyprinids such as carp, we have to take into consideration what sizes are biting, since it is useless to use small hooks for more monumental carp. So having at least two rods prepared with different hooks is a valid recommendation when you are just starting your fishing season.
Choosing the types of hooks for carp
for the tents barbed hooks come in handy, this to have the fish right where you need it at the end of the line. Of course, this will depend a lot on the fishing zone and the legislation that allows or not the use of these hooks.
The large hooks, in addition to leaving them for larger pieces, are used for areas where the fish feels free to experiment and eat. That is, areas where there is not much fishing pressure.
Now, the preference for small hooks is also thinking of doing the least possible damage to the specimen. A small hook allows the fish to take the bait better and the hook is pressed on the lip, making it more feasible to remove the fish with the least possible trauma and remove it when our regimen is catch and release.
Characteristics of carp fishing
Let's take a look at some features in carp fishing that can help you when hook fishing:
- Lines can be strong braided monofilament.
- Lining the hook with balls of dough, bread or sweet corn comes in handy to tempt the carp.
- Shore fishing is possible. Try to detect the types of insects that are on the surface and the disturbance of the water, there we will see signs that there are carp present and we can start our fishing.
- Use medium action rods between 4 to 6 feet.
- The lures you use try to be opaque, not shiny at all.
- If you can use sinkers that allow the line to take a good bottom, start with the lightest and increase it as your fishing day progresses.
