Fagota mo bream i le tautoulu i luga o le fafaga (Setema, Oketopa ma Novema)

The bream belongs to the carp family and is a valuable commercial fish, due to the high palatability of its meat. The bream leads a group lifestyle, and it feeds on the larvae of various insects, but does not mind feasting on various kinds of vegetation that grows in a reservoir. It keeps mainly on holes, but in summer it often comes to the shore. This article will raise the question of autumn bream fishing, as well as the effect of cold water on the activity of fish. It is very important during this period to choose the right bait and bait.

Faatau

With the onset of cooling, when the water temperature begins to drop, the bream ceases to approach the shore, so you need to look for it at a depth and at a considerable distance from the shore. The main tackle in such conditions is a bottom fishing rod or, as it is called, a feeder. It makes sense to dwell on this type of fishing, as it is preferred by many anglers.

For such purposes, you can take a feeder rod, at least 3,9 m long, so that you can make long casts.

The reel, as a rule, is chosen without inertia with a well-tuned friction brake on the spool, which is wound with monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0,25 mm and a length of up to 100 m. transfer all the slightest bites from a long distance to the tip of the rod.

It is better to pick up hooks for bream with a long forearm, numbers from No. 7 to No. 9, which fit freely in the mouth of the bream.

For fishing on the current, you can use the following equipment:

• Paternoster o Gardner.
• Helicopter and two nodes.

Bream fishing depending on the month

Setema

With the beginning of a cold snap, active biting of the bream begins. Productive fishing is celebrated on clear and calm days in the early period or before sunset. If it is cloudy and there are gusts of wind, then it is better to find a quiet place.

During this period, it is better to use small-fraction bait, which allows you to keep the bream in the place of fishing for a long time, preventing it from becoming satiated.

September is characterized by the use of the following nozzles:

• ilo.
• Worm dung or earth.
• Falaoa.
• Various dough (preferably hominy).
• Cereals of various origins.

How to hook a worm and a maggot, as well as a bloodworm, can be found here.

For greater efficiency, it is possible to use baits, which means baiting the same fishing spot every day. If you fish in a permanent place for several days, the effect will be the same, and a positive result will not take long.

Oketopa

This month the activity of the bream decreases, and this is due to the accumulation of nutrients during the month of September. During this period, the bream can feed no more than 4 hours a day. Before the onset of real cold weather, the fish gather in flocks and migrate through the reservoir, adhering to great depths.

In October, the bream feeds from the bottom, so rigs such as a helicopter and two knots will be less effective, but the paternoster will be in place, as well as other types of rigs where the bait lies on the bottom. As a rule, bream during this period prefers to take baits of animal origin, such as:

• Motyl.
• Anufe
• Maggot, but much less frequently.

Bait should contain elements of bait: bloodworm, chopped worm or maggot. Animal components have a large amount of protein, which is necessary for fish for a normal wintering.

Novema

This month it is difficult to find bream in the former parking places. The bream gathers near the wintering pits, at great depths, where it should be looked for, although it is not a fact that it will bite, since the bite is not stable at this time. At great depths, the water temperature does not drop to critical levels, and the fish can easily overwinter.

In November, it is better to use a longer rod to make longer casts. You should look for places up to 15 m deep. For this, it is better to use a portable echo sounder if you have a boat. If there is no boat, then you can use a marker float.

Maggot or bloodworms are suitable as bait, which are mounted on a hook in 1-2 pieces. Groundbait must be for fishing in cold water and consist of animal ingredients. In order not to bother much, it is easier to buy ingredients for bait in the store. Well-known brands such as Dunaev, Trapper, Sensas will do.

Bait for autumn bream

The most important condition for successful autumn fishing in November is the use of bait, consisting of elements of animal origin. In September, it was possible to get by with home-made mixtures, adding bloodworms, maggots or chopped worms to them, then closer to winter, bait should contain bloodworm extract.

Autumn fishing technique

Since the feeder is a sports tackle, it is very popular among anglers. The feeder rod is equipped with interchangeable tips of various flexibility, which allows you to choose tackle that meets certain fishing conditions: depending on the speed of the current and the weight of the feeder. Otherwise, the autumn feeder and the summer feeder are one and the same.

In order for fishing to be effective, you should not be too lazy and find a promising place where the bream gathers in flocks and spends the rest of the time. To do this, you can use either an echo sounder, or probe the bottom with a fishing rod with a marker float. After that, you need to take care that all subsequent casts fall into the same place. To do this, you should decide on a landmark on the opposite bank and fix the fishing line by the clip.

To begin with, 10 casts are made to feed the place, and only then, the fishing process should begin. In cold water, the bait and the capacity of the feeder are checked every 10 minutes, since the bream is quite passive at this time and a five-minute summer regimen is not appropriate.

Seasonal nuances of autumn bream fishing:

1. For a guaranteed catch, you need to find a place where there is an accumulation of bream.
2. The most promising tackle for catching bream in autumn is a feeder that allows you to fish at a considerable distance and at great depths.
3. Fishing will be more effective if the composition of the bait mixture includes animal components or bloodworm extract. It is possible to use well-known brands, such as Dunaev, Sensas, Trapper.
4. A good result is the use of baits of animal origin, since the bream at this time begins to stock up on nutrients.
