We are waiting for you on our channel: plclip.com/user/BigFishingChannel Vkontakte: vk.com/bolshayaribalka Our fishing portal: bolshayaribalka.ru Fishing forum: bolshayaribalka.ru/forum/ We invite you to watch an interesting video about how you can catch a sterlet with a rubber band . Of course, if you come across a sterlet on your bottom or other gear, then it is imperative to release it back into the river. According to the fishing rules, sterlet is protected by law, and fishing for it in most reservoirs of our country is prohibited!!! And yet, in some cases, when fishing, the sterlet bites on the feeder. There were also cases when, when fishing, there were bites from sterlet even on the most ordinary float rod. It follows from this that sterlet is caught from time to time on a wide variety of fishing gear. This could also be fishing for sterlet on a donk, because making the necessary equipment, which will then be used to catch sterlet, does not require any great effort. In this video, a sterlet is randomly caught on a bottom tackle called a rubber band. Or, you can also call it a donk with a rubber shock absorber. The sterlet was caught on an elastic band while fishing for sabrefish, and the fishing took place with such a common bait as maggot. Of course, a donkey for sterlet can be of any design, but in our case it was a donkey with a rubber shock absorber. The action in the video takes place on one of the sandy beaches of the Vyatka River. As far as I know, fishing for sterlet on Vyatka is also prohibited, for this reason the author of the video, after catching this small sterlet, immediately released it back into the Vyatka River. The sterlet caught on the donk was quite small, weighing only about three hundred grams. Such a small sterlet is also called shilse among fishermen. This name stuck because the small sterlet looks very much like an awl. In general, of course, when bottom fishing, sterlet is caught quite often near steep, steep, clay banks. But just as often, sterlet can be caught on sand spits along which it rolls downstream. Most often, in the same Vyatka River, sterlet does not reach a particularly large size. Usually the weight of sterlet that may end up in a fisherman’s catch does not exceed five hundred grams. Although, there are known cases when a sterlet weighing more than three kilograms was caught on the hook of a bottom tackle. For sterlet on the Vyatka River.

Tackle for catching sterlet

Sterlet is caught with bottom gear - ordinary donkey hooks, rubber bands or carp rods. The requirements for their equipment are, in principle, the same. And sterlet is not particularly picky and can be caught even with rough equipment. But still, it is best to use exactly the kind of equipment that is just strong enough to fish for sterlet.

Line and leash . To catch sterlet, a fishing line with a diameter of 0.3 mm is used. Such a fishing line can withstand even a large sterlet, because this fish does not offer much resistance. The leash used is slightly thinner - 0.2-0.25 mm.

Hook . When catching any fish, try to use a reliable and high-quality hook. When fishing for sterlet, the hook must be checked and sharpened. The optimal hook number for sterlet is in the range No. 5-7. The handguard can be used either long or short, it doesn’t really matter and here you need to be guided solely by your preferences.

Cargo . Since fishing takes place in the current, the sinker must be heavy enough so that it does not drift down the river. Choose a flat sinker weighing 50-100 grams. Such a sinker holds the tackle in place better and, when removing the tackle from the water, will be less snagging, since a flat sinker, when pulled up, does not stretch along the bottom, but hovers a few tens of centimeters from it.

Methods of catching sterlet

Fishermen have been actively engaged in sterlet fishing for a long time. This fish is highly valued by consumers for its tasty meat, as well as its simple preparation process.

Another feature of the sterlet is the absence of such a disease as opisthorchiasis. In Russia, the capture of this inhabitant of the aquatic environment is allowed. You just need to buy a license that gives you the right to do this.

The price of a one-time license is 462 rubles, and a monthly license is 4620 rubles.

Recently, experts have noted an increase in the population of this fish. This fact is mainly associated with a decrease in pollution of water bodies in the eastern part of Russia: a refusal to float timber down the river, and a stop to the construction of hydroelectric power stations.

But even despite this, a large specimen is rarely caught, using several types of gear.

What to catch sterlet with

Of course, for catching any fish, not just sterlet, it is very important to choose the right bait. For sterlet, you can use the following bait with great success:

  • crawl out;
  • earthworm;
  • muckworm;
  • maggot;
  • live bait

It is best to catch sterlet with a worm, since there will be more bites of sterlet on a worm than on live bait. Only large sterlet are caught using live bait, so sometimes you have to wait a long time for a bite on such bait. The size of live bait for sterlet should be within 3-5 cm. And maggots most often act not as independent bait, but as an addition to the worm.

The type of worm practically does not matter. It can be either a crawler, a dung worm, or an earthworm. It is advisable to place one worm on the hook; this will be quite enough for catching sterlet. Anglers usually do not bait the worm with a stocking, but pierce it in several places, obtaining such a wriggling bait.

If using crawlers, choose these medium-sized worms. Although the sterlet’s mouth is quite large, fishing with medium-sized worms is still more effective.
