Moscow: Poachers caught using illegal bait
year, in one of the districts of the Moscow region, 3 men suspected of poaching were detained. They had 336 kg of fish with them.
People suspected of poaching were searched and no prohibited fishing gear was found. During interrogation, one of the detained men joked that the fish were simply biting very well, which surprised the police even more.
During a thorough search of the personal belongings of the suspects, law enforcement officers discovered and seized packaging with a foreign inscription.
It contained a bag with an unknown powdery substance inside. After an examination of this mixture, it was discovered that this so-called “bait” has a very strange effect on fish. Aquatic inhabitants develop a strong hunger, and they are ready to peck at any bait if it contains this substance. The same effect is achieved if the powder is added to the bait.
The foreign mixture contains special enzymes that affect the fish in this way. Even well-fed, fed individuals continue to look for food and peck at the offered bait.
Afterwards, the detained men admitted that they ordered this miracle powder on the Internet on one of the sites dedicated to fishing. It turned out that they were ordinary fishing enthusiasts, and they themselves did not expect such an effect from a foreign bait, but they were very surprised and delighted by such an unprecedented catch.
Law enforcement officials released the would-be fishermen without finding any crime in their detention.
The investigative committee was very interested in this case. A large-scale investigation was carried out, during which it turned out that such an unusual bait really exists, and it can be bought in our country on the Internet.
It was invented in Italy in 2011. But immediately after its development, this substance was banned for use in many European countries and included in the list of poaching devices. This ban is still in effect.
In Russia, no amendments were made to the Federal Fisheries Law, so this bait can be freely purchased on the Internet. Today, an appeal is being prepared to register a complaint regarding the use of this strange powder. So in the near future, perhaps, appropriate amendments to the legislation will be made in our country and a complete ban on the use of new bait with special enzymes will be declared.
As for the fishing enthusiasts themselves, opinions regarding the use of the miracle powder are divided. Some consider it an excellent modern invention, while others do not see any sporting interest in fishing with this tool. After all, then the fish goes into your hands on its own and only the lazy will not be able to catch it. Thus, the excitement and feeling of pleasure and pride from the caught trophy are lost. In addition, many complain about the decrease in the number of fish in reservoirs due to the use of such dishonest fishing methods.
On our own, we found a site on the Internet that absolutely legally sells the notorious bait to all fishermen for the joy of it. So far there is no bill on the ban and everything is happening within the law.

Prohibited tricks
However, even if the spawning time has passed, it is worth remembering that some restrictions may apply throughout the season. There are also general rules - you should not go fishing in the reserve or use prohibited fishing gear. But most often, individual restrictions are set at the regional level and may vary from reservoir to reservoir.
For example, in some areas they may be required to purchase a fishing license (this is also done in habitats of rare or valuable species - for example, in Karelia, where people come specifically to “hunt” for salmon). In addition, in this case, in this case, a special fee is sometimes required to be paid for each individual caught. And everywhere there are restrictions on the minimum sizes of fish allowed to be caught - they are set for certain breeds. All individuals that do not reach the required size will have to be released into the wild.

The problem is not only that nets are still a means of mass fishing. Abandoned by fishermen or vacationing tourists, they often lead to the death of fish, waterfowl and even animals entangled in them. Otters and beaver cubs also die in nets.
Therefore, before you go fishing, it is worth studying the rules in force in the desired area (including checking whether any of the local fish species are generally prohibited from catching). This can be done in the regional departments of Rosrybolovstvo, a complete list of which is on the department’s website.
Super bait for fishing
Good and high-quality bait is one of the main secrets of successful fishing. These days, in almost every city, there are stores specializing in fishing accessories.
Here you can easily buy bait; its price depends on its type. Each fish feeds differently, but you can also find universal food on sale. You can buy bait, or you can make it yourself, taking into account all the needs and characteristics of the fish.
Types of bait
Today there are a large number of baits for fishing. Let's outline some of them:
The first ones include those that are commercially available. They can be domestic and foreign, ready-made (just scattered at the fishing spot) and semi-ready (diluted with water). The second types include home-prepared fishing baits. Manufacturing usually requires a large number of ingredients. It can be:
- Bran;
- Wood sawdust as filler;
- Breadcrumbs;
- Bite activator;
- Bread;
- Various types of cereals;
- Flour;
- Aromatic additives;
- Vegetable oils.
In addition, every experienced fisherman has his own secret ingredient, which he never shares. Homemade baits are usually used by experienced fishermen, and young people are increasingly resorting to purchased goods. Other baits can be classified according to the following principle:
Winter bait is significantly different from summer. It should be small, all components should be selected in neutral colors that will blend with the river bottom or water. In addition, it should not be significantly flavored with flavorings, since in winter this will not cause appetite in the fish.
Summer bait should be contrastingly different from winter bait, since the color scheme in reservoirs in summer is more saturated, and additional aromas will attract more fish. DIY bait recipes for fishing
Every experienced fisherman knows what should be included in fishing bait. How to make sure that its structure is uniform and does not fall apart, and also lasts longer under water.
Each bait must meet the following requirements: It must contain a base or filler.
Nutrients are added to the base so that the fish remains in one place for some time. Bite activator or flavoring agents that attract catch to the fishing area.
How to make homemade bait for fishing? Let's look at recipes that will help you make super bait for fishing. Note that each homemade product differs in composition and preparation principle, but is still easy to use.

- Cook the millet until completely steamed. This will become noticeable when all the water in the pan has evaporated.
- Pour the flour into the hot porridge and mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
Advice! It is better to prepare complementary foods in the evening so that it is already cooled in the morning. If the density changes in one direction or another, you should dilute it with water or add cake. To attract fish more, you can add sugar.
Recipe No. 2
We prepare bait for fishing according to the following recipe. You will need the following components:
- Millet and rice 300 grams each;
- Bread crumbs;
- Cinnamon and vanillin 1 teaspoon each;
- Sugar, salt;
- 3 tablespoons of milk powder;
- 2 raw eggs.
- Cooking process:
- Pour 1 liter of water into the pan.
- Add all the ingredients except eggs and breadcrumbs.

These recipes can be described as the best baits for fishing, but the choice is always yours. These recipes may suit you for both winter and summer fishing.
DIY bait for summer fishing
Making bait for the summer is not difficult. Through trial and error, you will quickly determine the main ingredients that will suit the taste of a particular fish. There are several recipes that every amateur angler undoubtedly uses for catching fish in the summer.
Prepare mashed potatoes, to which you need to add a raw egg and stir. Grind sunflower seeds. Dilute the cake with water and leave until it swells. Grind some dill seeds. Mix all ingredients and leave until morning. You can fill mesh feeders with this mixture and throw them into the water; it washes out slightly.
Take bran and chopped corn. Add crackers and a little vegetable oil. Before dipping the bait into water, add a little water to swell it. Ready. Grind the halva and mix it with semolina.
Boil in water until thick (determined by the degree of readiness of the semolina). Cool and mix with breadcrumbs. The structure should be crumbly, it can be adjusted by adding breadcrumbs or water.
As you can see, the basis of most baits in the summer is crackers. As a replacement, some fishermen use bran, feed, and wood filler. These components are able to bring the consistency to the desired state.
Prohibited bait for fishing
Today, fishermen are not satisfied with the amount of fish caught. They want more and more, so they very often resort to bite activators for help. These are fermented preparations that cause the fish to crowd together in the fishing area and affect it at the cellular level.
Even non-hungry inhabitants of reservoirs act on such bait. Next, the fish’s metabolism is disrupted and it begins to wander in search of bait. In addition, purchased bite activators contain chemical compounds that harm the environment of rivers and lakes. This negatively affects all underwater flora and fauna. There are several complementary foods that are prohibited from use:
- Magnet;
- Fish Hungry;
- Hemp seed bait;
- Katyusha.
- And this is not the entire list of those drugs that are prohibited by the Rybnadzor.
Banned bait for fishing in Europe is still the same FishHungry and similar stimulants of fish appetite using chemicals and various enzymes.
This bait, the price of which is affordable for everyone, disrupts the water balance of all living things, which is why special authorities fight poaching and impose heavy fines.
Conclusion
What is fishing without bait? But all fish can be attracted by simple ingredients that are available to every fisherman. From which you can prepare any bait. Therefore, bait, which is easier to buy than to make yourself, does not always have positive results, and may even incur penalties on you.
If you are new to fishing and don’t know how to prepare bait so that it has an effect, you can watch videos on the Internet by asking “bait for fishing video.” The entire experience of amateur fishermen will be presented to you for your viewing pleasure.

However, there are exceptions - you can plan fishing without a catch limit in certain places. These include thermal power plant channels, lock chambers, in areas located at a distance of up to 500 m from the dams. A large amount of potential production accumulates in these places. You can fish there during the ban, but in some cases a fishing ticket is required.
For recreational fishing, gear restrictions apply:
- Any form of net fishing is prohibited;
- use of special traps, with the exception of crayfish traps;
- fishing for rubber in those rivers and reservoirs where salmon are found;

Pheromones for fish: their varieties and applications in fishing
Many people are interested in fishing, and everyone pursues their own goal: a hobby, leisure time, sports, food production. Regardless of whether fishermen are motivated by amateur or sporting interest, everyone wants to get more and bigger trophies. To achieve better results in fishing, people have learned to use many additional methods. From cutting-edge gear to special complementary foods. And the most advanced fishermen use the latest substances containing pheromones for fish.
How to lure fish to the right place?
Feeding at the fishing site is a very successful and long-known method, carried out both before and during the fishing process. Now, when there are more people who want to get a good catch than the fish themselves, feeding them with familiar food products (porridge, bread) is not always effective. At a minimum, it is necessary to add flavoring or aromatic components to which cold-blooded inhabitants react.
The long-term joint work of chemists, biologists, ichthyologists and other scientists has led to the production of special substances that lure fish, which are successfully used in all types of fishing.
Reference!
Fishing attractants are products consisting of a mixture of various components that lure fish to the fishing site, acting on its taste and olfactory organs.
The chemical composition of attractants is very diverse; they include inorganic, organic elements and their compounds. These products are completely or partially soluble in water and it is in it that they exert their effect. Conventionally, attractants can be divided into traditional and synthetic (based on pheromones).
Traditional attractants
Various food products have always been used in fishing; they do not need to be purchased specially; most often, most of them are present in any kitchen. It is worth using products that have a specific taste and smell:
- Food products such as:
- honey;
- vanillin and similar confectionery spices;
Photo 1. Cinnamon and vanilla are the most common bait flavors.
- sunflower oil, dill, anise, hemp, etc.;
- clove decoction;
- garlic.
Photo 2. Garlic is one of the most popular attractants.
- Some medications have an effect similar to the above products - Corvalol, turpentine, camphor, Zvezdochka balm.
- Extracts from dung worms.
- Mixtures based on animal blood.
- Fishermen confirm the effect of kerosene in the same direction.
Photo 3. Corvalol has also been used in fishing for a long time.
These products have a different purpose than luring fish. Their effect has not been proven by scientists or research, but they have been used effectively in fishing for a long time. Traditional attractants are determined by the experience of our ancestors.
Pheromone-based lures
Modern scientific research in the field of fisheries began to use pheromones as bait almost two decades ago. The effectiveness of these products was proven and patented back in 2001. Their action is aimed at the natural receptors of fish.
It has long been known that these silent creatures communicate with each other by exchanging specific signals, which are sent using pheromones. Just as humans synthesize hormones, fish produce certain pheromones in different situations. Thanks to them, fish individuals gather in schools, reproduce, feed, and exist. It is worth noting that the olfactory abilities of these aquatic inhabitants are more developed than those of dogs.
Reference!
Pheromones used for fishing are biologically active substances of synthetic origin, identical to natural pheromones that are secreted by fish.
Many years of studying the life activity of fish allowed scientists to artificially synthesize substances that attract their attention. But it happens that the interest of aquatic inhabitants alone is not enough. We've all had cases where fish walk around but don't bite. Thus, modern bait with pheromones is aimed at:
Hunger-stimulating pheromones represent the most modern group. These artificially synthesized substances are identical to natural ones, which are produced in the body of hungry individuals. They help to increase the natural feeling of hunger in fish, prompting them to immediately search for any food. Thus, the fish does not easily swallow the bait; it actively searches for any type of food.
Attention!
By using pheromones for fish, they achieve their attraction, promote a good bite due to hunger, as well as the accumulation of a large number of individuals at the fishing site, due to their gathering in schools.
