The first breath of autumn

Don't be frightened, summer is not over yet)). And there will be hot days when you want a lot of ice cream and cold lemonade... However, briefly came to Moscow cold snap (in the morning in the city was 14 degrees, and in the city only 9) managed to significantly cool almost boiling from daveshnej heat reservoirs, and pike and Perch appeared the first manifestations of behavior peculiar to the beginning of autumn.
On weekends, my brother and I fished in the vicinity of our village. I decided to stop fishing for the spinning and unweighet silicone, which had become habitual during the hot weeks, and prepared several jig snap-ins with sinker 6, 8 and 10 grams. The brother did not give up the usual scheme and put a stable working on warm weather spinner Mepps № 2. It's indicative that we both caught 2 pikes. And the brother's bites were near the algae, and at my depth, in the driftwood... That is, Pike was at a crossroads))). Like water cold, and it's time to climb to the depth... But so do not want to leave the almost native parking in the underwater thickets of Grass))).
Yesterday on the city pond, where I, as often happens on weekdays, went after work, not forgetting to grab the spinning, the picture was even more indicative. I started catching with the same silver Mepps № 2, which last week steadily brought the result in the form of small contemplating and periodically kljujushhih large perches and occasionally-not bad pikes. Yesterday Mepps not seduced on the attack not a single decent perch. Only a few bites of trifles and catching a pair of micro-persh. Decided to try catching on jig. At once I will tell, that the task this on our pond is not simple. Perch is far from the coast, and to throw it is necessary on 30 + meters. Thus depth in a pond is not big, and any heavy and far flying bait will not catch. Assembled a snap of a classic jig-head weighing 6 grams and a silicone lure Relax Kopyto in the size of 2.5 " . Despite the small size, this model has a large tail blade, and with such a tool was to provide at least some pause in the fall of the lure after the active phase of animation.
Not very counting to succeed, to be honest. decided that the fish for some reason just naughty and does not want to peck. But Jig worked! And it confirmed my thoughts about the start of biting predatory fish on baits, which have a vertical component in the animation;-). It was a very good size.

The bite occurred in the phase of the controlled fall of the bait in a pause...
In the week I plan to try to catch perches alternately-on a jig and a "free leash rig". This distributed tool is versatile and works great in the heat and late autumn.
