A little more than a week ago in the publication [Summer jig fishing](https://steemit.com/myhuntingfishing/@spinner/summer-jig-fishing) I told about catching predatory fish in the summer by a jig method. It also mentioned the intraday migration of pike in the summer. In fact, this is a fairly pronounced phenomenon, and migration of predators within a day must be taken into account when choosing the location and method of fishing depending on the time of day, water temperature and illumination.
Predatory fish makes intraday migrations for a reason. She probably did not just want to walk))). No, the reason for these movements is the movement of fodder objects of the pike. Predator simply has to change its location, synchronizing it with the movements of its food. A fodder fish (on large rivers it is roach, bream, perch, podleschik, and for especially large pike and bream) moves along the reservoir, choosing for itself the most comfortable places taking into account the water temperature, flow strength, availability of feed and some other factors. Therefore, we should expect the movement of flocks of fodder fish in the afternoon from the dumps and brows closer to the fields of underwater vegetation, which provide both food and shelter from predators. An exception is bream, which, having reached the size of over a kilogram, almost completely switches to animal food in the form of various bottom mollusks and water crayfish-worms, which is why it gravitates to hard shell cockles and deep water irrigation with Dreissena (its main food). Near the flocks of bream, large pike with zanders also rotate.
But hunting for large, trophy sizes, predators is a separate story. Mass predator, namely pike to 3-5 kilos, perch, asp, and other predators, feeding on small fish 10-20 centimeters, in summer are forced to go hunting closer to the grassy fields of underwater vegetation, to a depth of 2.5-4 meters. Here it is worth looking for their anglers with spinning gear.
The best bait when catching in these conditions will be a minnow wobblers up to 130 + mm long. The bait needs to be selected with a deepening, which will allow you to carry out the animation directly above the underwater vegetation, sometimes touching especially high whips of algae. You can use pop-up wobblers, but best of all are baits with neutral buoyancy (suspenders), which even in a pause are kept in the right horizon. Pike and other predatory fish, looking for food in the fields of algae, will not miss such a wobblack and will certainly make an attack ...
As all this happens in practice, I suggest you look at the continuation of the film from the AnglersZoom channel with Alexei Shanin. Then our main character was in his element)). After all, Alexei - a great master of catching just the wobblers ...

Returning to the intraday migration of fish. This topic is relevant in all seasons. Even in winter, under the ice, peaceful fish moves from the parking places to the feeding areas. And behind her move and her herdsmen - predators. Those who engage in fishing, often had to hear, and even get yourself to the burst of biting and the activity of predators, when in the absence of bites for some time, suddenly a very good biting begins. This happens if you are on the "fish path" - one of the ways of movement of fish flocks during migration on the reservoir. This may be a trail of seasonal migrations (then it is necessary to write down the date, water temperature and other conditions under which you got a good bite), or intraday migrations (this can be verified literally the next day by coming to the same place in the the time when the outbreak of the predator began) ...
