Specifics of catching bream
The bream feeds by standing on its head. Prefers worms, bloodworms, dung worms, broom larva or maggots. Among plant baits, it readily takes egg dough, steamed peas, and semolina porridge.
Bream does not like to search for food, but due to the need for large quantities of food, it goes to places with constant food. In reservoirs, it periodically changes its parking places, but does not change its feeding places.
Such places are made at a depth of up to 3 m. This fish is not suitable for shallow water. In deep, muddy places, the bite begins later. It is also necessary to take into account the calorie content of the bait, because the more nutritious it is, the faster the bream will satisfy its hunger.
Tackle for catching bream in June
When catching bream, different types of fishing rods are used. For example, a float-type fishing rod is quite popular for this type of fishing. At the same time, the length of this fishing rod should be slightly more than 5 meters. The fishing line is chosen in such a way that its parameters are close in size to 0.10-0.14.
When choosing a leash, keep in mind that it should be slightly smaller than the fishing line itself. This fishing rod is widely popular when fishing in lakes and other bodies of water with standing water. Hooks should not be large in size. Floats should be dark in color and oblong in shape.
You can also catch bream using a spinning rod, playing with bait. It is better to fish this way in areas with slow currents. Light types of reels should be selected for these rods; floats should be selected that are sensitive. The length of such a rod should not exceed three and a half meters. In this case, it is necessary to mount a fishing line that has high strength, and choose smaller sinkers.
Bottom fishing rods with a special feeder, called feeders, are especially loved by fishermen when fishing for bream in June. Used in a wide variety of reservoirs, under different conditions. The best bait is dung worms.
Where to look for bream in summer?
The water level drops in summer. Bream can no longer be found near the shore during the day. It feeds near its permanent residence.
Fish can be found in calm water, near the bottom in deep pools, in shallows far from the shore with sharp transitions into holes and bays with clay or silty soil, in whirlpools, near steep banks, near thickets of water lilies or on the border of reeds and reeds.
When searching for a fishing spot, examine the coastal vegetation and riverbed. It is also useful to take a walk in the evening and in the morning to notice the “play” of the fish (a splash of water, and before that the appearance of the head, dorsal fin, and, finally, its tail), the appearance of bubbles at the feeding site of the bream.
Where to look for carp?
The optimal water temperature for carp is 16-18 degrees. If these values are higher, then he goes to depth, where he escapes from the heat. Therefore, if when fishing the temperature reaches more than 20 degrees, then it is better to look for it at the bottom.
Potential locations for carp are areas with algae and coastal vegetation. Carp can also hide in holes located near the shore, especially if there are trees nearby. It should be remembered that he does not like to stay in one area for a long time, so he often changes places. Its movement can be determined by the bubbles emerging to the surface or its jumps.
For daytime fishing it is better to take a boat. At this time, the carp goes deep and cannot be reached from the shore.

Best time to catch bream
Bream takes bait most actively during the feeding season, which begins in July. At any time of the day, bream overeats, but does not forget to be careful.
How to catch bream in June during the day?
During the day, bream is found in holes and all sorts of depressions, where it looks for food.
How to catch bream in June in the evening?
In the evening, this fish is no longer afraid to approach shallow slopes, and when it starts to get dark, it already goes out onto reaches overgrown with vegetation.
How to catch bream in June at night?
Surprisingly, it is mainly large bream that bite at night. If we compare the bite with the daytime bite, the fish take it more often. At night, the fish goes to the light from the fire, to the cattle watering place, to steep banks, to beaches, piers, shallows and fords, in general, to places with easy food.
During the full moon, the zhor intensifies. There is an opinion among fishermen that on a new moon, bream often runs aground. But in any case, there is no point in throwing bait further than 5–7 meters from the shore.
By morning you can cast 10–15 m from the shore. They fish in absolute silence. To prevent the bait from making splashes, it is sent into the water in a crumbly state. More flavors are added to the bait. To prevent the bait from being washed out, clay is added to it.
Choosing a place to catch bream in June
When choosing a fishing location, you should conduct a reconnaissance of the bottom relief and its condition. Depressions of 4 m or more, a coating of silt - these are signs indicating the possible presence of bream. Underbreams (bream up to 0.9-1.0 kg) can also be found at a shallower depth of 2.0-2.5 m.
In addition, you need to take into account that the behavior of lake bream differs from its river counterpart. In a limited space and in the absence of a current, bream moves throughout the entire water area of the reservoir in search of food. On the river, fish stick to areas where the current brings new portions of food. Another sign of the presence of bream is the presence of islands of reeds located in close proximity to or above changes in depth. But you shouldn’t look for bream in the area of the riverbed current.
Using a boat increases the chances of finding promising places and expands the possibilities for using gear. Using a boat makes it possible to catch bream with a ring. When fishing vertically, you can use “winter” jigs and a rocker tackle. Plumb fishing is also possible from bridges and other surface structures.
For catching bream in June and throughout the entire period of open water, popular gear is excellent: a feeder and a float rod. They are used separately or simultaneously.
Lures and groundbaits for catching bream
The bait is made from shell meat, boiled potatoes, steamed peas and wheat, thick semolina porridge, worms, and molted crayfish.
Groundbait is made from bloodworms, maggots, vanillin, anise, spices, steamed bran, black bread, various cereals (for example, hominy, rolled oatmeal, oatmeal).
The bait and groundbait are different and not repeated every day. Various flavorings and sugar or honey are added for sweetness. You will have to experiment with the color of the complementary food, because bream in different bodies of water reacts to different colors and tones. It is mainly light brown, white and yellow.
How to choose the right bait for bream?
Firstly, it is necessary to remember that bream does not swallow the bait, but sucks it in. Heavily made up hooks simply will not be able to hook a fish.
The bait is chosen according to the preferences of the bream, but it eats various mollusks, crustaceans, larvae, plant shoots and algae.
This means you can use worms, crayfish meat, chafers, dragonflies and their larvae, butterflies, grasshoppers, crickets, mole crickets, frogs and tadpoles, steamed peas, oats, wheat, the crust of a loaf or white bread,
Secondly, when the mayfly (broom, panicle) flies out, this is the second half of June, it is better to use this butterfly. The fish eats itself off, as they say, from its belly, and the bream’s bite stops altogether for several days after this.
How to catch bream in June?
Bream bites on any fishing rod, spinning rod and donka.
Float rod
This type of fishing rod is used for fishing in quiet, important places. The fishing rod is chosen to be elastic and flexible. The main line is 0.18 mm in diameter, and the leash is 0.14–0.16 mm. Buy a friction reel.
Several sinkers are installed to distribute the load evenly. The fishing depth should not exceed 4 m. The nozzle should lie on the bottom, but the sinker was slightly missing from the bottom. Bakery products with the addition of anise or dill are used as an attachment.
Breadcrumbs are added to the bait, but it is better not to use black bread.
On hook No. 5, lumps of dough should be sculpted in the shape of a pear, and maggots and worms should be planted in clusters. A sign of a bite will be the lowering of a vertically standing float on its side. This indicates that the bream stood on its head and sucked in the bait along with the water. After some time, the float will sink, which means you need to make a sharp and short hook, otherwise you can tear the bream’s lips and it will fall off. This fish does not offer resistance until then, and if you give the bream a breath of air, the fish will give up completely.
Wire fishing rod
A light fishing rod is taken with a length of 2.2–2.8 m. The fishing line is chosen to be thin, but the strongest. The float is chosen bright. The sinker consists of three pellets. the first and lightest are placed at a distance of 3 cm from the hook, the next two at a distance of 30 cm from each other and the first.
A “ball” of caddisfly, burdock, maggot, and insect larvae is hooked onto the hook. Biting a bream is similar to another fish swallowing bait. The float suddenly goes under water. At this moment they make a hook.
Bottom fishing rod
In June, it is better to catch bream using a bottom fishing rod. This is due to the fact that it goes deep. Steamed peas, a ball of dung worms or 2-3 maggots are used as bait.
If the donka is used from a boat, then the bait is delivered to the very bottom in a special mesh feeder with a large sinker. If from the shore, then cast in small portions directly to the place where the bottom fishing rod is installed.
The hook is made long and at the slightest vibration of the nod. Fish is caught in such a way as to prevent the line tension from weakening. The fishing line is taken with a diameter of 0.2–0.35 mm. The stronger the current, the thinner the fishing line.
The bottom is equipped with a spring with its own loading. Leashes are made 5–10 cm long from fishing line with a diameter of 0.1–0.2 mm. Attach the leash directly next to the spring.
Features of catching bream in June
When catching large June bream, it is worth fishing in the daytime if the morning and evening bites are few. To do this, it is necessary to select an area of the reservoir where the depth is more than three meters. When fishing on boats, it is better to move ten or fifteen meters away from the shore.
When fishing from the shores using a feeder, you should be away from the shore itself, so casts are made about four meters away. If you use bread to catch bream in June, you should add some natural flavors, such as anise or dill.
On June evenings, this fish can go to the surfaces of the edges and be observed near the riffles. For the feeding process, it is better to use porridge. At night, this fish comes closer to the coastal strips, but when fishing you should use quiet modes so as not to scare off the bream.
Cool evening weather has a more favorable effect on the activity of this fish, significantly increasing its hunger, which forces it to go out in search of prey. In this case, float or bottom types of fishing rods will be more popular.
Fishing for bream at great depths and in various currents
At great depths, a wire rod will be of little use. Bream don't like fast moving bait. It is better to use a ring and an undercut. The bait will be bread crumb, peas, a cube of porridge, a few maggots or worms. Don’t rush into hooking. The skill of hooking in strong currents and at depth will come with experience.
There are several rules:
- A well-fed bream will not really grab even small bait.
- The fish grabs a small bait immediately, but a large one first absorbs it.
- At night, bream is less careful than during the day.
Tackle for feeder fishing for bream
To catch bream on a feeder, depending on the fishing conditions, use the entire range of feeder gear and rigs.
There are several types of feeder rods:
- Heavy.
- Medium.
- Light.
A picker rod is extremely rarely used for bream fishing. But if weights less than 40 grams are suitable for fishing, then you can also use a picker.
The weight of the feeder is selected depending on the fishing conditions. In strong currents, to prevent the feeder from being carried away, you need a heavy feeder. The rod test is selected accordingly. The length of the feeders affects the casting distance of the equipment. The longer the feeder, the farther he can throw the feeder. However, it is not always convenient to operate long feeders on the shore.
Feeder - both cargo and food
The reel is selected with a spool size of 4000 and above. This will allow you to have a sufficient supply of fishing line on the reel. Casting in feeder fishing is done frequently, so it is better to choose a reel with a high gear ratio rather than a drag reel.
The cord is preferable in feeder fishing, as it does not stretch and clearly transmits the bite, even if the fishing is carried out far from the shore.
Small hooks are used. Large bream can easily be caught on a number 14 hook. A fishing line is used for the leash. The length of the leash is selected experimentally. If the bite is good and there are a lot of idle bites, then the length of the leash is reduced.
If, on the contrary, the fish is cautious, then increasing the length of the leash can save your fishing.
When using leashes made of thin fishing line, feeder gum is used, a special rubber that dampens fish jerks. A wide variety of feeder equipment is used as equipment, such as:
- Paternoster (Gardner loop);
- Symmetrical loop;
- Asymmetrical loop;
- Helicopter and others.
Feeder rigs for catching bream, carp, crucian carp
