Fishing for pike perch from a boat brings very good results throughout the open water period. Knowledge of the nature of the predator’s parking lots, well-equipped gear, as well as correctly selected baits and methods of their supply will allow you to count on successful fishing.
Deqên masîgiran soz didin
When fishing pike perch from a floating craft in a drift, the trajectory of the boat must be calculated in such a way that the bait passes:
- along the channel edge;
- in deep holes;
- along the lower part of the deep-sea slopes.
Plumb fishing in areas with depths of less than 4 m is rarely successful. This is due to the fact that pike perch standing in relatively shallow places is afraid of a boat passing over it and does not show interest in the bait.

When fishing is carried out from a boat moored in one place, the watercraft must be installed:
- in deep, snarled areas;
- li derketina ji çalan;
- over deep-sea dumps;
- on river discharges;
- in deep pools located under steep banks.
In search of zander flocks, the fisherman is greatly helped by the echo sounder. The presence of this device is of particular importance when fishing is carried out on an unfamiliar reservoir. The predator often stands in those places where there is a large accumulation of white fish, which form the basis of its food supply.
Optimal time for fishing
The feeding activity of zander can vary depending on the season and time of day. Knowing when and what time the best bite occurs, the angler can significantly increase the effectiveness of fishing.
Bihar
In the spring, launching watercraft is prohibited in most regions. This makes fishing for zander from a boat in a plumb line impossible. However, in almost every region there are commercial ponds, quarries and lakes where such restrictions do not apply. On the “payers” you can successfully catch a fanged predator in this way from mid-April to the second half of May (in the second half of May, spawning begins at pike perch, and it stops pecking).

In the second half of April, most predator bites occur during the daytime. May fishing is most productive in the morning and before sunset.
Havîn
With the onset of summer, restrictions on the launching of small boats come to an end, which makes it possible to fish in a plumb line in almost all water bodies. Pike-perch, spawning, actively feeds and is stably caught on this tackle from the beginning to the last days of June. The best bite is celebrated at morning and evening dawns.
An increase in water temperature in July sharply reduces the activity of the predator. During the whole month, the biting of zander is extremely unstable. Fishing is successful only at night in small areas of the reservoir, where this tackle is ineffective.
In August, the water begins to cool and the biting of the “fanged” resumes. The most significant catches occur in the second half of the month. Pike perch shows increased activity in the morning and evening.
Payiz
The autumn period is the best time for fishing “fanged” in a plumb line. In cool water, pike perch is active and greedily takes both artificial and natural baits.

From the beginning of September to the end of October, if the weather is favorable, pike perch can actively feed throughout the day, taking a short break at lunchtime. In late autumn, catching a predator in a plumb line is complicated by frequent precipitation, strong winds and low air temperatures. However, with proper equipment, fishing can be successful in such conditions.
Amûrên sepandî
When catching “fanged” in a plumb line in open water, several types of gear are used. Some of them are better suited for fishing from a moored boat, others – from a watercraft moving with the wind or current.
rod aliyê
For this method of fishing, the majority of fishermen use a side rod, which includes:
- a short fishing rod 60–80 cm long, equipped with a hard whip, throughput rings and a reel seat;
- small inertial coil;
- xeta masîgiriyê ya monofilament bi qalindahiya 0,28–0,33 mm.
The used fishing rod must be equipped with a hard whip – this will allow you to reliably cut through the hard mouth of a predator and better control the bait. If a live bait or a dead sprat is used as bait, a short, elastic nod is placed on the tip of the fishing rod, which acts as a bite signaling device.
The small inertial reel included in the package of onboard gear will allow you to quickly lower the bait to the depth and eliminate the tangling of the fishing line. It is good if it is equipped with a friction brake, which will come in handy if a large pike perch sits on the hook.

A high-quality monofilament fishing line with a cross section of 0,28–0,33 mm is wound on the reel. Do not use a thicker monofilament, as this will disrupt the action of the lure and adversely affect the sensitivity of the tackle.
A side rod is more convenient when fishing from a moored boat. However, in the absence of other options, it can be used quite successfully for fishing from a drifting boat.
spinning option
For angling zander drifting on artificial lures, a spinning set of gear is perfect, including:
- short spinning rod 2–2,3 m long with a rigid blank and a test range of 10–35 g;
- Rêzeya "Bênerazî" 2500-3000;
- qalindiya birêkirî 0,12–0,14 mm;
- fluorocarbon leash 1 m long and 0,3–0,33 mm in diameter.
A short spinning rod with a hard blank has high sensory properties, which allows you to feel the nature of the bottom relief, feel the lure’s failures and register delicate fish bites.
The inertialess reel provides fast delivery of the bait to the given fishing horizon. With its help, playing fish becomes more comfortable.
To increase the sensitivity of the tackle and improve control over the bait, a braided cord is wound on the spool of the “inertialess” spool. This type of monofilament has a large breaking load with a relatively small diameter, which is important when it comes to catching a large predator.

To protect the main “braid” from chafing against the sharp edges of stones and shells, a fluorocarbon line leader is included in the package. Such a monofilament resists abrasive loads well. The lead element is knitted to the cord with a “carrot” knot.
casting kit
The casting kit is the most convenient option for fishing pike perch in a plumb line on artificial lures. It includes:
- spinning, focused on fishing with a “multiplier”, having a rigid blank, about 2 m long and a test of 10–35 g;
- multiplier coil type “soap box”;
- "braid" bi qalindahiya 0,12-0,14 mm;
- Fluorocarbon line leader 1 m long and 0,3–0,33 mm in diameter.
Casting spinning has an ergonomic handle that fits perfectly in the hand. Resetting the line is carried out by pressing one button on the multiplier reel, which makes fishing as comfortable as possible.
Sazkirina alavan
When fishing fanged into a plumb line, various equipment options are used. When choosing a mount, you need to focus on the type of bait used.
For live bait
When a live fish is used as a nozzle, a mounting option is used, which is assembled according to the following scheme:
- A triple swivel is tied to the end of the main line;
- A piece of fluorocarbon monofilament 0,35 mm in diameter and 20–30 cm long is tied to the opposite ear of the swivel;
- At the lower end of the fluorocarbon piece of fishing line, a pear-shaped load weighing 20–40 g is attached (depending on the strength of the current and the depth at the place of fishing);
- A fluorocarbon leash 1 m long is tied to the side eye of the cord;
- A single hook No. 1/0–2/0 is tied to the leash.

This rig performs better when angling in the current. It is often used for fishing from a moored boat.
For the tulka
For fishing on a dead sprat, a rig with a classic jig head is used, which is assembled as follows:
- A piece of soft metal leash 10–12 cm long is tied to the connecting loop of the jig head;
- A triple hook No. 6–4 is tied to the free end of the lead segment;
- A single hook, soldered into the jig head, is inserted into the mouth opening of the tyulka and taken out behind the base of the fish’s head;
- One of the hooks of the “tee” is inserted into the middle part of the body of the tyulka.
On such an installation, a swollen fish is held quite securely. The use of a triple hook in the rig allows you to reduce the number of unrealized bites.

When fishing for sprat, the Bondarenko rig is also used. It is a structure consisting of a round load and two single hooks soldered into it. The dead fish is fixed on the installation, placing it between two “singles”.
For silicone baits
For plumb fishing with silicone lures, a rig option is used, which is done according to the following scheme:
- A single hook No. 1/0–2/0 is tied to the fishing line, while leaving a free end 20-30 cm long;
- A jig head weighing 10–40 g is tied to the free end of the fishing line (remaining after tying a single-handed one);
- Silicone baits are placed on the upper “single” and jig head.
This type of equipment has proven itself well when fishing from a drifting watercraft. On still water it is less effective.
Artificial baits and how to feed them
When fishing pike perch from a boat in a plumb line, various types of artificial lures are used. When choosing an imitation, you need to focus on the type of reservoir and the degree of feeding activity of the predator.
Beîv
The mandula lure, consisting of several elements with positive buoyancy, has proven itself when fishing in a plumb line from a drifting boat. For angling zander with this method, models 8–14 cm long are used.
The color of the bait is selected empirically in the process of fishing. As a rule, pike perch responds better to mandulas, the individual elements of which have a contrasting color. In most cases, models with a bright edge on the back hook work better.
The technique of fishing in a plumb line on a mandala is as follows:
- The mandula is lowered to the bottom;
- 2-3 lêdanan bi kemînê li erdê bikin;
- The mandula is raised 10–15 cm above the bottom;
- Make smooth swings with the tip of the rod;
- Through each meter of the movement of the boat, the bait knocks on the bottom.
When fishing with this method, it is better to equip the mandula with relatively light cheburashka sinkers weighing 10–25 g. This type of bait is characterized by an active game and works very well when the zander is heavily fed.

Twisters and vibrotails
Twisters and shanks also work best when the boat is moving rather than standing still. To catch pike perch in a vertical way, narrow-bodied models 8–12 cm long are used.
With high activity, the predator responds better to twisters and vibrotails of carrot, light green and white colors. If the fish is passive, you need to use dark-colored models made of “edible” silicone.
The method of feeding twisters and vibrotails is similar to that used with a mandala. When fishing on underwater dumps that go into the depths, this type of bait is better to lead in such a way that the jig head constantly strikes on the ground.
"Pilkers"
Spinners of the “pilker” type are successfully used for catching “fanged” by a sheer method from a moored and drifting boat. Silver models with a length of 10–12 cm work better.
It is not difficult to master the vertical method of feeding the “pilker”. The following type of wiring is considered the most effective:
- “Pilker” is lowered to the bottom;
- Xwarinê ji binî 5-10 cm bilind bikin;
- Make a sharp swing with a rod with an amplitude of 15–25 cm;
- Immediately return the tip of the fishing rod to the starting point.
When fishing in clean areas of the reservoir, “pilkers” equipped with “tees” are used. If fishing takes place in a thick snag, a single hook is installed on the lure.
Balancers
Balancers can also be used for plumb fishing from a standing or drifting boat. These baits are characterized by a wide game, which attracts a predator well from a long distance. Models with a length of 8–10 cm work best for pike perch. Colors are selected empirically during fishing.
The technique of fishing on a balancer is as follows:
- The balancer is placed on the bottom;
- The bait is raised 5–15 cm from the ground;
- Make a smooth swing with a rod with an amplitude of 20–30 cm;
- Quickly return the tip of the fishing rod to the starting point.
The wide game of the balancer and its equipment, consisting of several hooks, do not allow it to be used in thick snags. Ignoring this rule can quickly lead to the loss of the entire arsenal of expensive baits.
“Cone”
A zander bait called a “cone” is a cone-shaped metal element with a single hook soldered into the narrowed part. Its weight, as a rule, is 20–40 g. It is made of stainless steel, copper or brass.
A single hook “cone” is baited with a dead sprat. You need to lead the bait in such a way that it “bounces” slightly and hits the ground.
The “cone” is most effective when fishing from a moving boat. This bait works well on passive zander.
Rattlins
Rattlins work stably when catching walleye in a plumb line from a drifting and moored boat. When performing vertical wiring, this bait creates strong vibrations in the water, which are caught by a predator from afar. To catch the “fanged” one usually uses models about 10 cm in size, which have bright colors.
When fishing on a rattlin, the same feeding technique is used as with a balancer. In some cases, a smooth rise from the bottom with small-amplitude swings of the rod tip works better.
Rattlins are focused on catching active pike perch. Just like the balancer, this bait should not be used on heavily snarled sections of the reservoir.
kelûpelên xwezayî
When catching pike perch using a vertical method, not only artificial, but also natural nozzles are used. These include juvenile carp fish:
- roach;
- dace;
- sandblaster
- rudd;
- minnow.
These fish are quite tenacious and remain mobile for a long time, being impaled on a hook. Pike perch is more likely to take narrow-bodied live bait, so you should not use species such as crucian carp, bream or silver bream to catch it.
Some anglers use a bleak or a top when fishing in a plumb line. However, it is better to refuse the use of these types of fish as bait. Being impaled on a hook, they quickly fall asleep and become unattractive to pike perch.

Over the past twenty years, the kilka population has greatly increased in flowing and stagnant water bodies. In many regions, this fish began to form the basis of the pike perch food base. However, when hooked, the sprat quickly dies, so it is more often used as a bait on a jig head or a passive cone-type bait, in a sleepy form.
Taktîkên masîgirtinê
The tactics of fishing in a plumb line from a drifting and moored watercraft differ significantly. This must be taken into account when fishing on any type of reservoirs.
kifşkirin
When fishing in a drift, it is recommended that a bugger choose the following fishing tactics:
- The fisherman finds a promising site;
- Taking into account the direction of the current and the wind, swims up to the selected area in such a way that the boat is carried over a promising place;
- Lowers the collected tackle into the water and starts playing with the bait, allowing the wind and current to carry the boat along a given trajectory;
- Repeats swimming through a promising place 3-4 times.
If, after several swims in the selected area, the predator does not show interest in the bait, you need to look for a new promising place.

When there is a strong current on the river, leading to a too fast passage of the selected area for fishing, the movement of the vessel can be slowed down by dropping a light anchor from its bow. With a strong wind on stagnant waters, the problem of the rapid demolition of the boat can be solved by throwing a parachute anchor overboard.
From a moored boat
When fishing from a moored boat, you need to follow a different fishing technique:
- The angler places the boat in the most interesting place;
- Throws a heavy anchor tied to the bow of the craft;
- Collects and adjusts tackle;
- Lowers the bait to the bottom and tries to provoke a predator to attack.
When fishing from a moored boat, you do not need to stagnate in one place for a long time. If within 5-10 minutes. there was no bite, you need to go to a new point.
