when fishing
Autumn is a favorite time for fishermen. Experienced anglers prefer this time of year, because autumn fishing boasts solid trophies, especially if you fish from a boat. However, such fishing is fraught with many dangers. In autumn, the water temperature is only 7-8 degrees, and if the boat rolls over and the fisherman is in the water, wet clothes will immediately pull him down, and cold water will hamper the movement. To save a person in such a situation can be quite difficult. That is why it is worth observing simple safety rules when fishing from a boat in the fall.
To avoid accidents on the water, we remind you:
To avoid accidents on the water, we remind you:
- motor boat (boat) - a water mode of transport operated in constantly dangerous conditions;
- a motor boat that is not equipped according to established requirements, is not equipped with life-saving appliances and is operated by people without proper training is the direct cause of accidents and accidents.
Before entering the water, check:
- Have you forgotten to bring along a certificate for the right to operate a small ship — a ship ticket or a copy of it certified in the prescribed manner for small craft registered in the State Inspectorate for Management of Shipping?
- the availability of life-saving equipment for each person in the boat (boat) on all small boats;
- serviceability of the motor and hull of the boat.
While swimming:
- do not transfer control of the motor boat to another person (especially children) if he does not have the appropriate training and documents;
- do not go sailing in conditions of limited visibility if your boat is not equipped with signal lights;
- Do not drive a small vessel while intoxicated;
- When navigating on inland waterways, observe the rules for navigation and follow the established navigation signs.
How to fish from a boat
Ideal fishing, which will bring true pleasure, is feasible when the angler will not feel any discomfort while fishing. In order to fish from a boat, the following factors should be considered:
- where to fish (river, lake, reservoir);
- which boat to fish from (size);
- from what depths will fish be caught;
- Is the fisherman familiar with the pond?
Choosing a suitable place for fishing (it is better if there are several such places), you must first install two landmarks. Landmarks will perform several functions:
- indicate the place of fishing (they should be visible from afar);
- the boat will cling to the landmarks. If fishing takes place on a river with a noticeable course, then the boat should be installed across the stream. And if you plan to fish on a lake, reservoir or river with a very small current, then the boat can be installed in different ways (downwind, along the coastline, given the sun, and so on);
- there will be lures on the milestones (you can install a wallet for each milestone).
In order for the fish to be constantly at the place of fishing, it needs to be fedand do it constantly, periodically changing and adding new food. In this case, she will “graze” in this place, get used to the feeding trough and success in good catches will be ensured. At the same time, you do not need to overfeed her, otherwise she will “heal”. That is, after feeding at first, then take breaks for several days, so that the fish is on a kind - starvation ration.
But during the fishing itself, it should be remembered that biting can often change. Therefore, you need to constantly experiment (either completely remove the lure, then change the bait on the hooks, then adjust the depth to half-water, and so on). But one rule should always be followed. This rule suggests thatcomplementary foods should not be more attractive in terms of taste of the bait itself, which is used for attachment to hooks. Otherwise, the fish will simply ignore the bait.
The fishing boat should be stable, it will be better if it is large (so that you can safely fish, move along it, place gear, a net, a cage and other things, so that you can just relax). It should also be equipped with fishing tackle devices (so that they can be easily reached and held firmly in a thrown state). All sharp corners, protrusions, bolts, oarlocks must be covered with a film, tarpaulin or raincoat (to exclude hooks and tangles of fishing line, net and hooks).
The most optimal number of fishing rods - two, maximum three. You can put different bait on fishing rods, then it will be possible to catch different fish.
In shallow water and in still water, the rods should be long, the sinker and a small float. Fishing with long rods is more convenient from the stern of the boat. So it will be much more convenient to get fishing rods and lay them along the entire length of the boat towards the bow.
If fishing occurs at great depths and during the course, then fishing rods should be short(50-70 centimeters). It will be much easier to pull them out of the water during fish hooking (after hooking, the fishing rod is laid next to the boat and continues to pull the fish by the fishing line). The net should always be at hand.
When fishing on the stream, the boat should be placed across the stream. That is, fishing rods are thrown from the side of the boat.
It is also recommended to have a belly with you (tackle for catching pikes, perches and other predatory fish). For the nozzle on the tee, you must take care of the bait fish in advance (they can be quickly caught right on the spot). Naturally, they should be placed in a can of water, which must be changed periodically.
Live bait fish with tackle may be required, as very often predatory fish visit the place of fishing(especially pike). It accelerates the fish, and the bite stops and very often it will not start again. Because the predator will be nearby and will hunt for fish. Here in this case, you must immediately put the bait fish (even ruffs will do) to try to catch the pike. This is the only way to start fishing normally again. As a rule, in 15-20 minutes after the pike is caught, the fish will again approach the place where the fisherman is fishing and will bite again.
If fishing is planned on the navigable riversfor a long time and it is already dark in the evening, and before dawn yet, fog or rain may suddenly begin, then in this case you need to bring a good lantern. It is needed in order to give light signals to ships and boats going along the fairway. It should be included if the sound of an approaching ship is heard and waved in a circular motion, signaling that there are people here.

You should also remember the following safety rules when fishing from a boat:
- Be sure to carry a life jacket;
- You can not fish on the shipping lanes;
- Do not install fishing poles on rapids, whirlpools, cliffs and other potentially dangerous places;
- The boat must be reliable and stable;
- You can not go fishing on a boat during a thunderstorm, a strong wind that raises a strong wave.
It is forbidden to fish in places of water discharge at hydroelectric power stations. It is there that a lot of fish always accumulate. During the discharge, powerful streams of water raise the mass of feed from the bottom and it is at this point that the fish begins to feast. Fish grabs everything. This is where desperate fishermen strive to get, driven by their fishing excitement and imprudence. Very often in the excitement of a rabid bite, they simply forget that soon there should be a next dump and as a result tragedies occur.
You should also take care of the place of spending the night and rest on the shore. It’s time to prepare firewood, set up a tent or build a hut, stock up water and so on.
If fishing is planned for several days, then you should have a supply of salt with you (for salting fish). The stock of various fishing tackle and lure with lure should always be with a real fisherman.
