Fishing spots
Depending on the specifics of a particular area, fishing on the Kuban River has its own characteristics. In the upper reaches of the river, the water is quite clean, thanks to the melting of the glacier.
And in the flat areas located here it is muddy, which, by the way, does not mean that fishing is inappropriate. The fish adapts well to certain conditions and feels great.
There are fishing bases on the Kuban River. Specially equipped and selected places can significantly save time and not waste it searching for new fishing spots.
So Kuban can be considered an excellent fishing place, or simply a paradise for both fishermen and fauna.
Fishing on the Kuban River. Temryuk area
Temryuk is a wonderful place for those who love fishing and sports recreation. Not far from Temryuk, numerous estuaries and floodplains originate. The estuaries intersect each other with narrow channels and artificially constructed canals.
Fishing in such places is a real pleasure! To sit comfortably on the shore of the estuary, with a fishing rod, is the true embodiment of any fisherman’s dream.
There are many places for fishing in the Temryuk area, these are basically all the reservoirs between the road to Temryuk and the Sea of Azov. The canals in Golubitskaya and in front of the Maly Akhtanizovsky Estuary, in the area of Peresyp, and the Bolshoi Akhtanizovsky Estuary are most in demand.
It is better to fish on canals from the shore, and in estuaries - on the water from a boat.
Here is an incomplete list of the catch that can be caught in the Temryuk area:
- carp,
- crucian carp,
- tench,
- carp,
- rudd,
- roach,
- bream,
- perch
- and pike.
Among fishing enthusiasts there is a very popular base called “Temryuchanka”.
It is located in the delta of the Kuban River, about 13 kilometers from Temryuk. The necessary conditions for relaxation and excellent fishing have been created here!
The Kuban River delta has many tributaries that flow into numerous lakes and water channels with unique fauna and flora.
The variety of fish that lives in the River Delta gives every angler the opportunity to get real pleasure and a lot of impressions from such an activity as fishing!
Most of the reports provided by fishing enthusiasts are positive. Fishermen enthusiastically talk about their trophies and the gear they used in this or that case.
According to their stories, the fishing process itself is quite different from fishing in other regions. For example, the advantage of fishing here is the use of a green worm as bait (you can get it right near the water), which can be used to catch large pike perch, catfish or perch!
In addition, if you choose the right time for fishing, then your catch, even with a simple fishing rod, with any bait, will undoubtedly please you. Pike, perch, crucian carp and rudd - this is an incomplete list of successful fishing in the Kuban.
Features of Kuban fishing
Fishing in the upper reaches of the river
The Kuban River flows into the Sea of Azov and a large delta has formed in this place, which creates all the conditions for the life of various species of fish. The upper reaches of the river are distinguished by clear and ideal clean water.
The river has a fairly fast current in some places, which creates ideal conditions for the life of Caucasian chubs and barbels. To catch a chub, you need to have reliable tackle, since carp are characterized by great resistance when fishing. A spinning rod can cope with this task, but to catch a barbel, you will have to arm yourself with a donkey. If you use a regular float rod, then with a certain skill you can catch any fish.
Flat areas
In such areas where the current is not significant, the main representatives of the cyprinid family, such as carp, carp, bream and roach, live. Moreover, some of them grow to impressive sizes. This factor is the main one that influences the attractiveness of these places. In bays where there is practically no current, you can count on catching quite large crucian carp. Unfortunately, these places are characterized by the presence of coastal vegetation, which greatly complicates the fishing process.
The fishing process can be simplified and made more effective if you use a watercraft. Using a boat you can easily fish the most problematic areas. To catch carp, many fishermen use a makushatnik, as well as well-known feeder gear for catching carp.
The lower section of the Kuban current
These places are interesting because there is practically no current here, which attracts not only fishermen, but also ordinary vacationers. Here, spinners hunt for pike and perch, and ordinary fishermen catch bream and trout. It is better to count on catching large bream in the early spring, but fishing for pike, perch and sorog continues into the summer. But this does not mean at all that bream stops biting in the summer. No, he continues to be caught, but more breams are caught. As a rule, in the summer, fish prefer baits of plant origin, but they do not refuse animal baits.
With the arrival of autumn, when cloudy and rainy weather sets in, many fishermen actively catch tugun, which is distinguished by its tender and tasty meat. During this period, individuals weighing up to 10 kilograms are found here.
As for pike fishing, during this period it attacks any bait, including artificial ones. The most catchy baits may be artificial baits made from edible rubber.

Cube body or box fish
The original appearance of some sea creatures can quite bring a smile to a person’s face. And this is not surprising. After all, it is very difficult to imagine a fish with a cubic body shape, similar to a funny toy called a Rubik’s cube. And at the same time, this is exactly what a fish looks like - a box, or a box - a cube. Agree - the shape is quite unusual. In addition, the fish is far from simple. There are glands on her body that have the ability to secrete a poisonous secretion. For this reason, this sea creature must be treated very carefully.
The fish's habitat includes the coast of the African continent, as well as the warm waters of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. These fish live at depths of up to 50 meters. Advantage is given to coral reefs, where there is always enough food and you can easily hide from predators.
The size of an adult is no more than half a meter. It received its name due to the unusual cubic shape of the body formed by fused bone plates. It turns out that the fish hides its body in a durable bone shell. Only its fins, gills, mouth and eyes remain free.
The body leads a solitary lifestyle. The fish is incredibly mobile, swims quickly, without leaving the territory of the coral reefs. It does not have a gill pump. In order to push water through the gills, it is forced to use its pectoral fins. For this reason, they work for her constantly.
Young bodies differ from adult fish. Their body is bright yellow, with many dark spots. An adult fish is a blue box with a number of yellow stripes on the body.
The bodies feed on algae, mollusks, plankton, worms, crustaceans, and sea sponges. There is more than enough of this in coral reefs.
During the mating season, the female lays eggs in the water, which float freely, obeying the will of the sea current. The fry that are born are practically no different from ordinary small fish. Their bone shell begins to form only after their body length reaches one centimeter. From this moment, the fry begin to gradually acquire a cubic shape.
We have already said that the boxfish protects itself from predators with the help of a bone shell and toxic mucus produced by bacteria located in its intestines. The poison is collected in the liver, and, if necessary, is used as a protective agent. True, the box does not save you from large predators.
Box fish can live perfectly in a home aquarium. True, she doesn’t get along with the other inhabitants. They simply die from its toxins.
Body meat is quite edible. Local residents bake the fish directly in the shell and serve it to the table in this form.
Bream fishing
Some fishermen prefer to catch bream, which in these places is quite large in size, especially in flat areas. To catch this fish, it is better to have a watercraft, and use a bottom fishing rod as a fishing tool, selecting the weight of the sinker depending on the strength of the current. The fact is that in different areas there are currents of different magnitudes, although in flat areas it has a minimum speed.
Bream can be found in areas:
- where are the steep banks;
- where the bottom is strewn with shells, which are included in the diet of bream;
- where there is significant depth.
Bream is equally active at any time of the year. At the same time, one should take into account the fact that bream is a rather shy fish and to successfully catch it you need:
- Pre-feed the place to collect as many fish as possible at the fishing point.
- For feeding over long distances, it is better to use special feeders.
- In cases of decreased biting activity, you should switch to other flavors.
Properly selected equipment plays an important role in catching bream and this factor must always be taken into account.
European stargazer

The eyes of this fish are located at the top of its head, which gives the impression that it is constantly looking up and counting the stars. The body size is 20-35 cm. It is brown in color.
Stargazer is a fish that poses a danger to lovers of Black Sea resorts. She likes to burrow into the sea soil, with only her eyes visible. Therefore, it is easy to miss it and step on it. There are several poisonous needle glands on the stargazer's body. When injected, the poison enters the bloodstream and causes severe poisoning. The victim needs to be provided with specialized medical care as soon as possible. It is also recommended not to go into the water with bare feet, but to use special rubber shoes.

Fishing for sabrefish
Chekhon also moves around the reservoir in schools, choosing areas with fast currents. Chekhon prefers to be at a considerable depth, so it makes no sense to look for it in bays or floodplains. It rises to the surface of the water only on hot days. With the onset of cold weather, it goes to a depth of about 15 meters.
Mass migrations of saberfish are observed in the spring. During this period you should look for it:
- within the pits;
- in small areas;
- in areas with complex bottom topography.
At the height of summer, saberfish are interested in the following areas of the reservoir:
- boundaries of fast and slow flows;
- places of entrances and exits from pits.
Worms, maggots, and caddis flies will be used as bait. Good results can be obtained if you put a fly, wasp, gadfly or some kind of artificial bait in the form of a wobbler, twister or vibrotail on the hook. The fact is that sabrefish are considered a predatory fish. Large sabrefish are caught on 4-centimeter fry.
During the fishing process, you should regularly throw bait at the fishing point, which can keep the saberfish at the biting point for a long period. A bottom fishing rod with a feeder is perfect for catching sabrefish. At the same time, you need to take into account that the saberfish does not take bait from the bottom. To successfully catch sabrefish, you need the bait to be raised above the bottom level. It is better to add various baking powders to the bait, as well as elements of hook bait, in the form of maggots, worms, etc.

For barbel in Kuban
The barbel is one of the most amazing carp fish found in the waters of Europe and Asia. On the territory of Russia, the barbel is most often found in its southern part (northern Caucasus) as well as on the Crimean peninsula.
In the south of Russia, fishermen often call barbel “miron”.
The barbel is characterized by rapid growth, and on average its size is 40 cm, and its weight can even reach 4 kg. As for the large barbel, it can have a mass of up to 12 kg and a length of a little more than 1 m. Fishing for barbel
is very exciting, because once on the fisherman’s hook, it provides active and strong resistance. However, to catch a barbel you have to put in a lot of effort.
The barbel is a resident of water bodies, preferring depths with fast currents. You can meet it in places where there is a rocky or sandy bottom.
Juveniles usually form small schools and migrate along the river in search of food. The large barbel is an individualist and prefers to feed alone. Also, the barbel is not tied to one place, and is always on the move. Therefore, fishing for barbel in rivers
where he lives requires an active search.
Barbel can be found in almost any river in the Kuban. Large individuals most often prefer places where the current is quite weak and the water warms up well. In addition, such places always have a good food supply.
Barbel fishing in Kuban
, occurs on a variety of gear. What tackle to use depends largely on the time of day. During the day, most often, barbel is caught using spinning or float gear, but at night, this interesting fish is caught on a donk. Fans of barbel fishing with a float rod or spinning rod can move along the river bank at a distance of 7-10 km, and sometimes more. And this is quite justified, since the barbel, as mentioned earlier, is not tied to one place, and in order to get it you need to look for places where it can feed.
The bite of barbel has its own differences from the bites of other fish. The barbel always bites powerfully and decisively, so timely hooking should be done here. Once hooked, this fish always puts up strong resistance and fights to the end. Without certain skills in catching barbel, it is very difficult to fish it out of the water. In addition to stubborn resistance, the barbel has a sharp dorsal fin, which often helps it cut the fishing line during fishing.
In the process of fishing, you should act in such a way as to exhaust the barbel, since the barbel often gathers its strength at the last moment and breaks off the tackle. Fishing for barbel in the Kuban River
or in the tributaries of the Kuban, the most productive is in summer and autumn. This fish can be found not only in places where there is sufficient current, but also in places where there is practically no current. Dung worms or crawlers are most often used as bait.
Barbel fishing gear
A wide variety of gear is used for barbel fishing. spinning, donka. Float rod and others. Moreover, in one place he can be caught with one tackle, and in another he can completely ignore this tackle. This means you need to use a different tackle.
Spinning fishing
Catching barbel with spinning tackle
, often gives good results. This is due to the omnivorous nature of the barbel. So it reacts very well to artificial baits. It is excellent to catch barbel on spinners, primarily on “Baikal” and “Universal”. In this case, you need to pay attention to the color of the spinners. The color of the spinners should be similar to the small fish that the barbel feeds on in the body of water where it lives. In this case, the spinner should be deployed at a minimum distance from the bottom. To do this, you need to know the topography of the bottom of the reservoir and have good wiring technique.
When equipping a spinning rod, it is necessary to take into account that the resistance of the barbel is always strong and this fish is very persistent. This means that all equipment elements are selected in such a way as to correspond to the weight of the prey that is most often caught in a given place and the mass of bait used.
Fishing with float tackle
To catch barbel using a float rod, select a rod whose length should be 5 meters or more. Since catching barbel with float tackle
occurs in areas with good flow into the wiring, the rod is equipped with a reliable inertia-free reel. The fishing line (base) should have a cross-section of 0.30-0.35 mm, and the leashes should be made from fishing line of at least 0.25 mm. The supply of fishing line on the reel should be approximately 60 m. Barbel bites occur near the bottom, which means the bait must be placed at the very bottom. Therefore, the sinker needs to be secured to the end of the fishing line, the leash is secured slightly above the sinker. In this case, the current acts on the load and drags it along the bottom. You can also slightly change the equipment by equipping it with an additional sinker and a leash, which is located at the bottom.
Fishing with bottom tackle
Donka is an effective tackle for catching barbel in the dark. It may have a sliding or blind sinker. It is also practiced to catch barbel on a feeder.
.
In some places, bottom gear may be the most effective of those used to catch barbel. This is due to his lifestyle. The feeder is convenient because the feeder not only delivers bait to the fishing site, which can hold the barbel at one point, but also because such a feeder simultaneously plays the role of a load. Therefore, the results of fishing on the feeder are the highest.
The feeder or weight is chosen taking into account the strength of the current in the fishing areas. And the stronger the current, the greater the mass of the feeder or load should be. Night fishing for barbel, according to those who know this fish well, is the most promising. It is at night that the largest barbel bites, which is unlikely to grab the bait at night due to its caution.
Some fishermen set up donks and then fish the entire nearby water area with a pickerel. And although mostly small specimens are caught, the pleasure of such fishing also evokes many positive emotions.
What bait should I use?
Since this fish stays practically near the bottom all the time, it feeds mainly on those organisms that live in the bottom layers. Usually these are various aquatic insects, larvae, leech worms, and fry.
If spinning fishing occurs, as a rule, spinners are used for fishing at great depths. For float and bottom tackle, a crawler, a dung worm or maggot and the larvae of some insects are used.
Some anglers recommend using cheese as bait. You can also catch the omnivorous barbel using vegetable baits, steamed pearl barley or wheat grain, and you can also catch it using boiled potatoes. Currently, they have begun to practice catching barbel using such a popular bait for catching carp fish as the well-known boilies.
You can lure the barbel to constant feeding areas using bait. Which in any case will keep him in one place for a while. It is recommended to add animal components to the bait in the form of chopped worms or maggots. Barbel fishing
a real pleasure for anyone who appreciates a real fight with prey in fishing.
Happy fishing!
Fishing for catfish
Catfish is a fish that is found in the Kuban River, and in sufficient quantities. The dream of every fisherman is to catch this river monster, although this is not so easy if it concerns large catfish. Here you can catch catfish both from a boat and from the shore. The main thing is to find a promising place with significant depth.
Catfish are a nocturnal predator and are best caught after dark. If you use a boat and a quok, you can count on catching this predator in the daytime. The fact is that the sounds of the quok attract the predator and it rises from the bottom, heading to the place where these sounds are coming from.
When going for catfish, it is better to take an assistant with you, especially if fishing is done from a boat. It is difficult for one person, when biting a large individual, to cope with this river giant. He is capable of turning the boat over or breaking the gear, especially since someone else needs to steer the boat.
In Kuban, a fisherman caught a huge catfish and sold it for 25 thousand rubles
Fishing for chub and podust
The chub represents the carp family, and these representatives are distinguished by significant strength and resist fishing to the last strength. As a rule, the most active chub bite is observed in mid-August - early September. During this period, it can be caught with spinners and wobblers. Warm sunny days, without significant gusts of wind, are considered the most productive for fishing.
It is advisable that complete silence be maintained during the fishing process. To catch it, it is better to take a strong and reliable fishing rod.
Catching undermouth begins with finding the place where it prefers to feed. Podust likes to be:
- in the area of rapids;
- in areas with complex bottom topography;
- in areas of sand and clay gullies.
Podust shows the greatest activity at the end of May and at the beginning of June. For baiting the hook, a worm, maggot, or algae balls are suitable. This fish can be caught both with a regular float rod and with a donk.

Fishing gear on the Kuban River
The main fishing gear on the Kuban River are:
- Spinning.
- Float rod.
- Leash.
- Feeder.
When going fishing, you should take care of spare equipment, since hooks are quite common here. Once the tackle is hooked, it is sometimes quite difficult to unhook it, so you have to break it off. In this regard, the presence of spare leashes with hooks is mandatory.
Report No. 2
In a small town (with a population of just over 40 thousand people) of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of Ust-Labinsk, 70 km from Krasnodar, the full-flowing Kuban River originates. The source of the Kuban is located above sea level at an altitude of more than 1300m, that is, this river can be partly called mid-mountain, and partly flat. The river covers almost 900 km in length, and the area of the entire Kuban drainage basin is 58 thousand km². The river can rightfully be called the main water “artery” of the Krasnodar region!
Kuban River: how to get there
The Kuban River flows into the Sea of Azov, and it flows through the territory of the Krasnodar Territory. Its beginning is located in the Karachay-Cherkess region. It also flows through the territory of Stavropol. Its length is about 900 kilometers. On this route you can find a huge number of fishing spots.
In addition to fishing, these places are distinguished by the presence of picturesque places that predispose to active recreation. Therefore, here you can meet not only fishermen, but also ordinary tourists who spend a lot of time in tents near the reservoir. And getting to these places is very easy, just visit the Krasnodar region.
