What is the secret or need to pay attention to when fishing crucian carp in the pond in winter?

As the saying goes, fishing in the summer is shady, and fishing in the winter is sunny.

It is said that crucian carp is easy to catch because it is still eating when the bottom water temperature is 4℃. When the bottom water temperature reaches 8℃ ~ 10℃, the hook rate is not lower than that in spring, summer and autumn. Dozens or even hundreds of them gather in a nest, and even catch fish as long as they don't escape halfway. A good aquaculture pond, from 18 to 12 in the morning or 12 in the afternoon, generally it is not a problem to catch ten catties and eight catties. Taiwan Province fishing experts can even catch 10 kilograms. It is said that crucian carp is difficult to catch. First, because they have a small range of activities, they are not easy to wander. It's no use looking for a fish nest-the waters where crucian carp gather. If you look in the wrong place, it is 20 meters away from the fish nest, no matter how fragrant the bait is, how fresh the bait is, how thin the fishing line is, how small the hook is and how high the fishing skill is. After fishing for a long time or even a day, I couldn't catch a crucian carp. Experienced fishermen can know where the crucian carp cluster is as long as they walk around the pond.

Even such fishermen often lose their eyes, so the method of fishing crucian carp in winter has a bait method of "three caves of cunning rabbits"-in the deep water on the sunny side where there should be fish, make a nest every 5 ~ 10 meters and fish for three rounds. Catch any place with a nest; Which nest has more crucian carp, which specializes in fishing, and the rest are discarded. When fishing, make up the nest while fishing, so as not to let the crucian carp go far, and at the same time attract the crucian carp not far away, so as to catch more and more. This makes it difficult to fish forever. The second difficulty in catching crucian carp in winter is that although crucian carp is eaten in winter, its appetite is not strong, its mouth is not big, and its movements are slow, unlike in summer and autumn, it is swallowed immediately if you want to eat it. Generally, when eating in winter, you eat, put, touch and put. Sometimes even try to eat for 2-3 minutes without swallowing food. At this time, the fisherman should not be impatient, but wait patiently until 2 ~ 3 floats tremble or slowly drag down the water surface, then gently shake his wrist and slowly pick them up (this refers to the traditional fishing method of fishing with earthworms and shrimps. If it is rice or rice cakes, it can be ahead of time. If you are impatient when floating 65,438+0 or sinking 65,438+0 floats, you can see floats. Don't use too much force when lifting the pole. If the strength is too strong, the bait will float rapidly from the bottom of the water, and the crucian carp caught will be frightened by the sound and current. The caught crucian carp will easily unhook and escape, making the fish group farther away from the fishing point.

In order to improve the fish's eating rate and speed, the fishing line should be very thin, generally 0.8 ~ 1, like hair. Taiwan Province fishing method uses thinner fishing line, only 0.4. The hook should be small and the hook wire should be thin, so that the crucian carp with a small mouth can easily swallow the bait and eat the hook quickly. The bait should be small and fine, such as fresh japonica rice soaked in sesame oil, and only one is hung on the hook tip for fishing; The red earthworm should be bright red and translucent, only half hung; Shrimp is shelled, cut into 2 ~ 3 sections and hung on the hook tip for fishing, which can achieve satisfactory results. It is better to catch fish when it is difficult. The more you catch it, the more interesting it becomes. The third difficulty in fishing crucian carp in winter is to choose fishing spots. In theory, generally speaking, pond fishing in winter should be in the deep water on the sunny side. For most people, the effect of using this legal fishing spot is good in most cases. However, the weather is changing at any time, and the water regime is alive. Sometimes there are so many crucian carp in the pond that you can't catch them at the selected fishing spots. Sometimes after half an hour to an hour, the crucian carp will be so rare that none will be left. No matter how many baits are used, changing the bait will not help.

There are three reasons: first, no real fish nest has been found. Because the depth of the pond is difficult to determine, the sunny side is mostly shallow water, and the deep side is dark, so whether it is three nests or five nests, it is shallow water. Although there is plenty of sunshine in shallow water, the weak sunshine in winter can't raise or exceed the temperature of the bottom water before noon or within a day, and the fish won't swim to the nesting place, so of course they can't catch any fish. To solve this problem, we should make 1 nests on both sides of the shady pond, and then try the water depth. If there are crucian carp near the west water depth, we should give up the sunny side; If there are many crucian carp behind the sun, you should fish behind the sun, but the effect is good. Second, there is running water injected into the pond, or there is a hot spring at the bottom. Some ponds are connected with external rivers or other ponds. Due to unequal internal and external water levels, or artificial pumping, the water level in the fish pond drops, and external water flows into the fish pond through gaps or hidden holes. Crucian carp still likes fresh running water in winter, which contains fresh oxygen and food. They like to gather under running water, even if the water is shallow. Because of the geological relationship, the ground temperature at the bottom of many ponds is different. In winter, the pond freezes. In some places, the ice is 5 cm thick, and in some places it is thin. Some places don't freeze at all. There is a large piece of clear water in the middle of the ice, and some places even give off hot air. This shows that there are hot springs or underground outlets at the bottom of the pond. As long as there is no poison or radon exceeds the standard, fish like to gather here for the winter. Therefore, it is a good place to fish in the pond and nest in the running water or hot springs in winter. These two kinds of ponds are everywhere in winter, and there are few completely closed "dead ponds".

If you don't pay attention to this kind of water situation and only pay attention to the sunny deep water, fishing will also fail. Third, the wind direction and water temperature change, making it difficult to choose fishing spots. Generally speaking, it is cold in winter in the south, and it is colder in four different wind directions: north wind, northeast wind, northwest wind and west wind. The northeast wind often has rain and snow. In this case, it is right to choose the deep water facing the sun or the place where fresh water and hot spring water occur. The wind has its own size. Generally, the stronger the wind, the colder the weather, the harder it is to fish and the deeper it is. The Jiangnan area is located in the subtropical zone, and the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins belong to the junction of temperate zone and subtropical zone. China's topography is high in the west and low in the southeast, and the south of the Yangtze River is greatly influenced by the southeast monsoon and southwest monsoon. There are often southeast winds, south winds and southwest winds in winter. All southerly winds are hot, especially when the Siberian cold current is few and weak. When the southerly wind blows for more than 10 days, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River will increase day by day. Statistics and charts of the National Meteorological Administration show that in recent years, the daily maximum temperature in Shanghai, Nanjing, Nanchang, Anqing, Changsha, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places has reached 16℃, and sometimes it is as high as 18℃~ 20℃ in some places, and it has not continuously declined. A well-known example is Zhuge Liang's ingenious "borrowing the east wind" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the middle of winter, it was freezing, and even the southeast wind blew for three days and three nights. This is unknown to Cao Cao and others who were born and raised in the north, so the locked warships were burned on the north bank of the Yangtze River, affecting the shore camp, and 830,000 troops were destroyed at one time.

Fishermen in the south should also understand that in the middle of winter, there are often southerly winds and rising temperatures in the south. If there is no cold wave for a long time, the lowest temperature at night is 5℃ ~ 6℃ and the highest temperature at noon is 16℃ ~ 20℃. At this time, the climate is almost the same as that in mid-spring and mid-autumn, and the food intake of fish increases. Due to the sun exposure, the temperature in shallow water is higher than that in deep water, and splash can often be seen everywhere in shallow water within the range of 1 m, indicating that fish have been foraging in shallow water, and there are few crucian carp in deep water. Although it is the middle of winter at this time, you can't fish in deep water. Xiangyang seems to have no advantage, just a shallow water area where fishing gathers. See which shallow water area is full of flowers and muddy water, indicating that there are many crucian carp, which can be chosen as fishing spots, and the effect is far better than that of Xiangyang deep water area. Wind direction and high temperature often make fish gather in shallow water downwind, whether it is sunny or not. There are waves with the wind, more oxygen and more food. It is best to fish in shallow water with downwind. This kind of weather is mostly southerly, that is to say, standing in the shallow water facing the sun on the north shore is the best fishing spot in this kind of weather. Due to the high temperature around noon brought by southerly winds, the temperature difference between water above and below the water body is inversely proportional. That is to say, the lowest temperature around midnight is 4℃ ~ 6℃, so is the surface water, and the water temperature in deep water can reach above 10℃. The crucian carp did not move in the deep water, and time passed by, until dawn and morning, the surface water cooled down, and the bottom water heat rose, and the water temperature in the water was basically the same at one time, which was 8℃ ~ 10℃.

At noon, the temperature rises to 16℃ ~ 20℃, the surface water gradually reaches this temperature, and the bottom water begins to rise, only 8℃ ~ 10℃, and at most10℃ ~/2℃, while the deep water below 2 meters is only 4℃ ~ 6℃. In this case, at this time, in addition to shallow water fishing, you can also fish in distant surface water or middle water, that is to say, you can use floating fishing, middle water fishing or upper water towing fishing, which are not commonly used in winter and spring but are commonly used in summer and autumn, to catch crucian carp. With this understanding, when fishing crucian carp in winter, we can focus on deep-water diving in the sun, observe the terrain, water regime, wind direction and temperature, change the fishing methods and strategies at any time, and flexibly apply the fishing methods of other three seasons to the changed reality, so that we can catch more fish in the complicated and changeable winter fishing, instead of returning empty-handed, sweeping away our strong fishing interest.
