822 Words4 Pages

The crucian carp is one of the fish that has been surrounded with an mysticism for me and the members of my club. Think about it - haven’t you been fishing at night, seen crucian carp feeding and tried to catch them without any success ? I have and desperate attempts to catch even one of them didn’t result in anything. This continued until the day we started to study them more carefully and decided to fish for them exclusively.
Pre-baiting the swim.

The first successes came from a small lake outside Stockholm called Bagarsjön. It was in this lake we first realized that the crucian carp was an extreme specialist.

They like to pounce on their prey, and these bait fish are most active early morning or evening. This method works best when the water is warmer, above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, because a lot of baitfish aren 't active in cooler temperatures.
