In the cold winter, choosing ice fishing is very attractive and fun. Below I have compiled some skills about ice fishing. Let's have a look.

Prepare the fishing tackle, be precise.

In addition to accessories such as ice shovel and ice strainer, the most important and essential ice fishing equipment is fishing rod and fishing tackle, which are characterized by short, thin, clever, light, small and tough. In other words, choose a light and tough fishing rod with a length of about 2 ~ 3 meters and a small reel. The main line should be the No.8 competitive fishing line with high strength, softness, tenacity and no expansion; The brain line should use a strong line of 0.4. If you catch big fish, the number of fishing lines can be increased accordingly. If the main line is too thick or too long, there will be many wind lines on the ice, and the water pressure line will be long, which will inevitably freeze when touching water, greatly reducing the sensitivity of drift. Hooks should be short-handled Yi Shi No.3 ~ No.5 sharp gold hooks, which can be tied with single hook or double hook. The float should be a small float caught on a hard-tailed platform. The pendant is replaced by lead wire, and the weight can be increased or decreased at will to adjust the float.

Choose a climate and catch warm weather.

1. Choose from climate and solar terms.

The winter in the north is long, cold and dry, and the north wind and ice age in Dorsey are longer. Taking Shenyang as an example, the ice age lasted for more than 60 days from the cold dew solar term on June 8, 10 to the vernal equinox on March 22, 2008. According to the bite force of fish, it can be divided into four stages:

① Feeding period. From the cold dew to beginning of winter, about 30 days, the ice night turns to the day, the river has not frozen yet, and the fish's feeding and biting momentum is not bad, which is the continuation of winter fishing and the beginning of shore ice fishing.

2 dormant period. From beginning of winter to winter solstice, about 45 days, the river is frozen, and the ice thickness is greater than 15 cm. People can climb on the ice and make holes in the river, and it freezes late. They shouldn't go fishing on the ice rashly. At this stage, although the fish are dormant under the water, as long as they find a group of fish and feed them with carnivorous red worms and earthworms, they will also have good harvest. Especially for ice fishing, this stage is the best fishing time.

③ dormant period. It takes about 45 days from winter solstice to spring, which is the coldest time and the thickest ice layer. At this time, fish go into hibernation without eating, and even the best bait is the off-season of ice fishing.

④ recovery period. It took about 30 days from the beginning of spring to the sting. When spring returned to the earth, everything revived and fish began to swim for food. At this stage, the ice is still thick and hard. If you fish in time, you will get something. After the shock, the temperature rose, the glaciers thawed, the ice was loose and the ice was gray. The vernal equinox is coming, and the spring flood is coming. We can't ice fish any more.

2. Choose from weather and meteorology.

Ice fishing needs weather, highlighting the word "warm". Although it is cold in winter, it is not always dripping into ice. Grasp the law of temperature, seek warmth in cold, and fish at the right time and at the right temperature.

(1) fish in warm weather, but don't fish in bad weather;

(2) The fishing wind is weak, blowing 3 ~ 4 grades of cold air, and fishing is not allowed in cold weather;

③ When fishing on sunny days, the temperature fluctuates around 0℃, and at night it fluctuates around-10℃. There is no ice on the surface of the ice cave, or there is little ice, and the underwater temperature is above 4℃, which is the best weather temperature for ice fishing.

④ Fishing at noon, 10 in the morning to 16 in the afternoon. At this time, the weather is warm, the ground reflection conditions are good, and the temperature is the highest in a day. At this time, ice fishing has the highest probability of catching fish, which is the best time for ice fishing.

Look at this ice, ice eye

1. Look at the color of the ice. Ice is blue, either water depth or grass; If the ice is yellow, it is not shallow water, or there are many fish. As long as the water depth exceeds 0.5 meters, you can try fishing with a hook.

2. Look at that ice crack. As the temperature changes constantly, ice cracks will form on the ice. At the ice seam, the air permeability is good, and there is relatively more dissolved oxygen in the water under the ice. This is an oxygen-rich area where fish like to live, which is just a good fishing spot for ice fishing.

3. Look at the wheatgrass. There are grass under the ice or dead branches on the ice, where the bait is rich, the photosynthesis is good and the dissolved oxygen is high. It is a place where fish hide and feed, and it is also a place where ice fishing is elected.

Look at these ice bubbles. Some ice bubbles are fish star bubbles released by fish eating arch soil in their habitat in the early stage of freezing; Some are pan-star bubbles; Some are grass bubbles under photosynthesis. These ice bubbles vary in density and size, white as snow, shaped like balls, clustered and connected into a whole.

It is generally believed that the earth star is bigger and emits more gas, which is as big as an egg sac. Fish stars are small and piled up, which is caused by crucian carp, carp and grass foraging. It is a rare good fishing spot for ice fishing.

5. Look at the warm edges. Any water area, regardless of the surrounding environment, can find the sunny side, sitting north to south, backed by high dikes and hillsides, with strong sunshine and high temperature; On the contrary, the sunshine on the shady side is weak and the weather is cold, which is not conducive to the cold resistance of fish. At the same water depth, fish naturally tend to one side, so ice fishing with warm side facing the sun becomes the first choice.

6. Watch the ice collapse. Because of the different depths of the river and the uneven bottom, the ice water naturally sinks, forming gaps, forming ice pits, ice lumps and ice slopes of different sizes. Where there are ice depressions, there must be deep water, and the protrusions are shallows, ridges and shallow water. Fishing eyes should be hit on the sunny side of the edge of the ice collapse.

On the basis of choosing a good fishing position on the ice, it is very particular to make an ice eye and arrange fishing positions. Generally, it is decided whether to hit one eye, two eyes, three eyes or more eyes according to the size of ice and the density of fish. More than three eyes are arranged in a straight line, triangular and fan-shaped, and the eye distance is 1 ~ 2 meters. The ice eye should be oval, 40 cm long and 30 cm wide, considering that the ice is smooth and won't get stuck. Every time an ice eye is punched, a fishing spot is set up. Don't hit it aimlessly, look around and shoot it aimlessly.

Use bait skillfully to live fresh.

The main bait for ice fishing is meat, followed by vegetarian food. It tastes fragrant, fishy, soft and lively. Meat bait avoids death and wilts; The vegetarian bait should not be old or changed. Generally, the size of bait is about 1/3 of the width of fish mouth, such as grass carp and crucian carp. Take earthworm bait as an example, it is best to use fresh, thick-headed red adult earthworm chopsticks, not suitable for small hooks. When hooking, only take a short section, the hook tip is exposed, the hook is small and complete, and the hook is large and equipped with a half-hook door; If the bait is on it, you can hook it on the hook tip with a fish hook half a grain of rice. In order to lure the fish to the bait, you can dip the commercial powder bait in the meat bait, which has the effect of atomizing and continuing the nest after falling into the water, and the effect is better. No matter what kind of bait you use, you should take cold-proof measures. Earthworms should be antifreeze, and flour bait should also be antifreeze.

For ice fishing, it is better to add a few drops of sesame oil or sesame paste to yellow rice soaked in Qu liquor, or add a few drops of essence to fried rice bran and fresh leek juice. In ice fishing, false drift often occurs. Refers to the abnormal reaction of floating messages, sometimes jerking, sometimes sending, sometimes shaking a few times and suddenly stopping. What seems to be the real floating information of fish is actually empty, and no fish can be seen. The analysis shows that there are three possibilities: first, the bait can't be swallowed by the big fish, but it only contains a little bit, and the fish arches the bait to promote the ups and downs; Second, the hook is big, which affects the bait; Third, the bait didn't suit the fish's taste, only after a few bites, the drift came to an abrupt end, and the fish quietly left and no longer cared. If you see this kind of false drift scene, you should immediately replace the small hook, release the small bait and release the live bait to deal with the false drift phenomenon. Experience shows that the bait on the ice is not as good as small, fresh but not rotten, alive but not dead, but clever, small, flexible and fresh.

Fine bleaching, diligent pole lifting

Ice fishing generally adopts the method of flat water or fishing 1 destination. Drift reaction: First, it shakes slightly, indicating that the fish has entered the fishing point, and there is fish under the hook, and the fish did not bite the hook in the reaction of swimming with the hook to dial Shui Piao; Second, floating slightly to 1 mesh or sinking half mesh is the performance of fish swallowing bait. Third, sometimes the drift is slightly horizontal, oblique and black, which is caused by the fish swallowing the bait, mostly for the big fish swallowing the bait, and catching the fish when lifting the pole.

Ice fishing gives full play to the dynamic effect of the hook and bait, and it should be lifted up and down rhythmically every 2 ~ 3 minutes, with an amplitude of about 15 cm, which is just the distance from the hook on the wrist. Repeatedly, every time, the fish will pay attention to it. It should be noted that at the moment of lifting, if the hand feels heavy, it is the performance of China fish, and the fish will be lifted immediately.

If you don't see the drift reaction in a hole for an hour, then you don't have to insist, you have to move to a new place.

Safety measures for ice fishing

Generally speaking, an inch thick ice can make people flinch, but to be on the safe side, you should fish on the ice after the ice is completely thick. The reason is that the tension of ice is great in winter. But at this time, we should pay attention to the fact that the ice near the bridge is thin and easy to fall off. Although the ice is thick in the middle of winter, due to the sunlight on the pier with cement and other textures, the pier absorbs heat and dissipates heat, which will make the ice surface thinner, and at the same time, the bridge deck will be windproof, and the ice surface under the bridge and its vicinity will become thinner or even freeze, which will inevitably lead to accidents when approaching. As the saying goes, "79 rivers open", and there is a saying in the north that "79 rivers open but not open". After "July 9th", due to the arrival of spring, the climate became warmer and the tension on the ice became smaller. At this time, even if the ice is thick, it is not strong. Don't be greedy at this time to avoid accidents.

Skills of fishing crucian carp in winter

Use a thin wire-a wire has a high resistance in water. If the wire is thick, the signal is definitely not obvious;

Use light bait-the activity of crucian carp in winter is very small, and the mouth suction is very weak. The effect of light bait is better than that of heavy bait

Use a light hook-this is something that many people tend to overlook. If the hook is heavy, it can't be sucked in when the fish inhales, and often only a little bait is sucked in. The float is reflected in a slight satiation, but the bait is sucked, and the hook is not sucked into the mouth, so there is a signal but it doesn't hit the fish;

Use hard tail-the activity of crucian carp is small in winter, and the number of small miscellaneous fish is small, so it is best to use sensitive floating tail;

Hook undercover-Carassius auratus usually moves underwater in winter, so floating fishing is of little significance. In order to ensure that crucian carp can swallow hooks smoothly, it is necessary to go undercover with double hooks.
