The eastern coast of the Sea of Azov from Timryuk to Primorsko-Akhtarsk for 100 km is a lowland in the delta of the Kuban River, with numerous channels, estuaries, overgrown with reeds and other aquatic vegetation. In general, it’s a kind of paradise for fish and anglers. It is believed that pike in these places is best caught when the current in the estuaries is directed from the sea and lasts for quite a long time, but the ice must be quite thick. The weather in these places is capricious and with sudden warming, the ice can disappear in a few hours - you can walk on solid ice in the evening, and in the morning you can already see waves. Therefore, fishermen usually do not miss the right moments and everyone rushes to fish. Pike are caught here using flags and live bait. Almost any live bait.
Winter fishing on the rivers of the Kuban has its own characteristics - even with fairly severe frosts, the ice on the rivers is thin, so in winter they fish mainly on lakes or reservoirs where there is no current.

If pike is easy to catch in a lake or reservoir, then catching a fish like pike perch is quite a difficult task. Finding places where ice would support the fisherman's weight is very problematic. But, knowing such places, you can count on luck, fortunately, he bites quite actively at this time. For catching pike perch, oxbow lakes or river floods with rather weak currents are quite suitable. Its greatest concentration is observed on the edges and slopes near pits with a sandy-clay bottom. You can start fishing for pike perch in winter as soon as ice of at least 5-10 cm thick is established on the reservoir. Pike perch is caught in winter using girders or lures.

Features of winter fishing on the Kuban River
> Where to fish > Fishing in Russia and around the world > Features of winter fishing on the Kuban River
As for fishing in the Kuban in winter, it, like summer fishing, has its own characteristics in different areas. This is the largest river that flows through the south of our country. In the upper reaches the water is very clean, which is the result of melting glaciers. But where the river flows through the plain, the water is already quite muddy, this is due to the fact that the banks and bottom of the river there are mostly clayey.
However, winter fishing in Kuban
and summer fish do not become less catchable due to factors such as muddy water. After all, muddy does not mean dirty. And the fish have long been adapted to these conditions and this does not affect its activity. Particularly good catches occur in the river delta, where it flows into the Sea of Azov.
The Kuban delta is rich and diverse, home to 106 species of fish, so winter fishing there promises good catches in most cases. Many of the delta's inhabitants can live in both fresh and salt water.
This river is rich in zooplankton, which significantly affects the growth of fish; in the Kuban, fish grow very quickly, and the mild climate of the region also contributes to this.
Fishing in winter in the upper reaches of the Kuban
, as a rule, is mainly aimed at chub, since barbel is caught only in the warm season. But in the upper reaches of the river you can catch large Caucasian barbel. They catch it there by trolling with a small spoon or baitless jig. Of course, in order to be with your prey, you need to know where to find winter chub, so it is best to fish with experienced local fishermen or those who have been here several times and have studied the river in these places well.
The middle reaches are richer in fish than the upper reaches of the river, and where the Kuban begins to flow through the valley, the diversity is much greater. Here you can already catch bream, white bream, silver bream and roach in winter. And in the spring, when the water warms up enough, fishing for carp and carp begins. But these last two species are much more often caught in the lower reaches of the Kuban. In places where there is no current, especially in river bays, crucian carp live; they can also be caught from under the ice during thaws. This fish bites especially well during the period of ice melting. And if in summer it is quite difficult to catch it in heavily overgrown bays, then in winter there are no such difficulties.
Of course, one cannot fail to mention such a famous fish as shemaya. And although generally mass fishing for this fish begins with the arrival of spring in many places where the river does not freeze with the onset of winter, winter fishing for shemaya
. Just like in the summer, it can be caught using a wide variety of float gear. This small fish has earned such great popularity because of its valuable nutritional qualities. Therefore, even in the places where it lives, it is in great demand among the local population, and is considered a very valuable fish.
In general, the Krasnodar region is incredibly generous with fish and rewards fishermen with good catches not only in summer, but also in winter. And although the Kuban is the main river of the Krasnodar Territory, winter fishing
it gives good results on other rivers and rivers. The numerous tributaries of the Kuban are especially popular among fishermen. However, winter fishing in the Krasnodar Territory is also interesting on lakes and reservoirs, of which there are quite a lot here. The only thing that hinders winter fishing from ice is that real winter rarely happens here and the water bodies are not always covered with ice. It often happens that even in January there is mud and slush on the street instead of snow. And the water, not covered with ice, remains a solid lead carpet, like in late autumn.
However, it happens that even when the frosts are quite severe, the ice on the rivers can still turn out to be thin and dangerous for ice fishing on the Kuban and other rivers. Therefore, during this period, most winter fishing enthusiasts prefer winter fishing in reservoirs and lakes of the Krasnodar Territory. Due to the lack of current on these reservoirs, the ice there is stronger and safer. There, winter fishing for pike using such gear as a zherlitsa always brings good results. Crucian carp are excellently caught in lakes and reservoirs in winter. Winter fishing for crucian carp in the Krasnodar region
possible in many reservoirs, including small rivers.
Many fishermen in the Kuban and other reservoirs prefer hunting for predators in winter. But if spotted fish are not particularly problematic to catch in bodies of water such as lakes and reservoirs, then fishing for pike perch is more problematic. This is due to the fact that the ice on rivers is thinner and finding a good place with reliable ice can be a challenge, although not always. But if there are such places, then you can count on a good bite and possibly a significant catch of fanged fish.
Excellent for winter fishing for pike perch, floods and oxbow lakes where there is no current at all or is quite weak. The highest concentration of the predator is observed on dumps in pits where there is a clay or sandy bottom and on the edges. Fishing for winter pike perch in the Kuban and other reservoirs begins as soon as the ice reaches a thickness of 5-8 cm. This predator is usually hunted by trolling or using girders.
Pike-perch is caught using a spinner using fishing rods equipped with a spinning reel, or using a fishing rod called a “filly”. The whip of winter fishing rods for catching pike perch should be 25-35 cm long. Pike perch is caught with a variety of spinners, but spinners baited with a worm or bloodworm work especially well, and a bunch of red threads are also placed on the hook as bait. Lures for catching pike perch are selected according to the speed of the current and the depth at the fishing site. Where there is great depth and the current is weak, bright heavy spoons of 5-6 cm in size are used, and where the current is strong, 7-10 cm.
If there is no bite within 10-12 minutes, it is better to leave this place and move on to the next one. If you play the bait correctly and the spinner is chosen correctly, then after several unsuccessful attempts the fanged one will still be tempted to play, and you will feel a real bite. And when the long-awaited catch is on the surface of the ice, then you will understand that this is real hard winter fishing in the Kuban
