Let's talk about what fishing rod to use first.

Wild carp

Wild crucian carp is delicious, nutritious and high in protein. It is the first-class edible fish in fresh water. Large crucian carp with an individual of more than 250 grams are not often caught because of their slow growth and small size. Natural things are rare, so it is very challenging for fishermen. If you want to catch big crucian carp in natural waters, you must first understand the living habits and feeding habits of big crucian carp, so that you can have more opportunities to catch them.

1. Living habits and feeding habits of crucian carp

Crucian carp has a strong adaptability to the environment. Resistant to low temperature, hypoxia, cold and alkali ... it is quiet and timid, alert and afraid of strong light. It is difficult to see them in clear water. It lives in deeper waters and generally does not float easily. It is a typical benthic fish. The eating habits of big crucian carp and small crucian carp in natural waters are completely different, just like the eating habits of adults and children. Because the young crucian carp are in the growing period, they are more interested in foods with high animal content; Mature crucian carp, on the other hand, prefers local natural plants and grains, because plants or grains are rich in water and there are many kinds, so crucian carp can be eaten. Although the northern and southern regions and waters are different, the species of big crucian carp are different, but their favorite foods are the same sex.

Second, find the waters where the big crucian carp live and find the waters where they live.

This is the key to whether you can catch big crucian carp. Large crucian carp is not found in all waters, because the growth rate of large crucian carp is slow, and it usually takes about 3 to 5 years to reach 250 to 500 grams. Therefore, if you want to catch big crucian carp, you must choose artificial reservoirs or natural lakes with deep water, large area, perennial running water and never drying up. In addition, if you want to catch big crucian carp in wild ponds, you should also choose ponds that have not been cleaned for at least 3 years and have been heavily fished.

Third, grasp the characteristics of fishing season.

Although you can catch big crucian carp in any season, spring and late autumn and early winter are the best seasons to catch big crucian carp every year. This is because the temperature and water temperature are high in summer and early autumn, and the feeding desire of crucian carp is not strong (15 ~ 25℃ is the best feeding temperature for crucian carp). Coupled with a large number of miscellaneous fish competing for bait, the timid big crucian carp either dare not feed in the nest or lurk in deep water (it needs to be emphasized here that as long as the temperature difference between day and night is small in late spring and early summer, it is easy to catch big crucian carp at night). Spring is the season for big crucian carp to lay eggs. They must eat more food and store more nutrition for their children, so the first feeding peak of big crucian carp appeared. In late autumn and early winter, as the water temperature drops day by day, other fish slowly enter the hibernation period. Some of those annoying miscellaneous fish will die naturally, and some will have little activity under the restriction of low water temperature, but the big crucian carp needs to store enough nutrients to prepare for the winter, and then forage everywhere, which leads to the second foraging peak of the big crucian carp, so we anglers will certainly have good harvest as long as we catch the big crucian carp in these two best seasons.

Fourth, the skills of fishing big crucian carp

Hanging fishing method is widely used by many fishermen to catch large crucian carp in natural waters, and the practice has proved that the effect is remarkable, especially in winter when the big crucian carp is cold and small. The reason lies in the combination of lure and fishing by hanging fishing, sensitive signal, high concealment and strong loyalty to the timid and suspicious habits of big crucian carp, so it is not surprising that it is easy to catch big crucian carp. However, there are some differences in fishing equipment, bait selection and fishing technology application between natural waters and intensive ponds.

1. Fishing gear and equipment

Fishing large crucian carp in natural waters is very complicated and unknown, so it is necessary to match the fishing tackle reasonably according to the individual size, fishing speed and water depth of the fish.

(1) fishing rod: it is appropriate to choose a hard rod with a length of 4.5 ~ 5.4 meters, and the tonality should not be too soft but not too hard. The fishing rod with the tune of Sanqi is the most suitable, and the fish will not feel strong pain at the moment of being caught and lifted off the water, nor will it scare the fish in the nest.

(2) Fishing line: The main line should be a special "road system" line with good quality, and the specification should be 0.6 ~ 1.2 according to the situation. The secondary line should also be a strong-pitch line, mainly 0.3 ~ 0.6, and it should be replaced according to the water temperature and the fish's struggle. But the main and secondary lines should not be too big as far as possible (the big crucian carp is cunning by nature), and can withstand the pull of the fish and not run away from it.

(3) Fish hook: No.3 ~ No.6 hook should be selected, with white hook tip and thin and strong hook.

(4) Buoy: Choose a buoy with moderate size, long feet and long tail; No.2 ~ No.5 hard tails with fast turning, average descending speed and good stability are better. When the water in the fishing area is deep and windy, the marker can be used more, because the large counterweight of the buoy is increased accordingly, so that the fishing rod can be thrown smoothly and quickly reach the den at the bottom through the water layer of miscellaneous fish. If the depth of the fishing spot is moderate and the small fish is not hooked well, the characteristics of strong anti-interference and true signal of the big soft tail can be used to directly make the big crucian carp.

2. Selection of bait

The choice of bait is very important in fishing large crucian carp in natural waters. You can't choose powder bait with light specific gravity, fast atomization and strong taste like catching crucian carp in aquaculture ponds or competitive competitions. Such bait is easily surrounded by miscellaneous fish. Because it is inevitable for small miscellaneous fish to take the bait when fishing in wild waters, it is necessary not only to reduce the predation of small fish, but also to choose the original bait with coarse particles, large proportion and light taste according to the characteristics of big crucian carp's preference for plants and cereals, so as to lure and retain big crucian carp. In the preparation of bait, it should be light, heavy and sticky. Sticky bait can't be swallowed by small fish at once, which can increase the time of bait attachment. The heavy and light bait can speed up the arrival of bait and avoid attracting a large number of small fish into the nest, thus leaving more opportunities for the big crucian carp. As for the specific choice of bait, due to the differences in waters, north and south, seasonal changes, etc., the choice and deployment of bait should be flexible, in line with the feeding habits of crucian carp, and never stick to the rules.

3. Application of technology

Many fishermen use the hanging fishing method in natural waters, but they can't catch big crucian carp, or have little harvest. This is because they always transfer the concept of pond fishing to wild fishing. There are obvious differences between catching big crucian carp in natural waters and catching big crucian carp in ponds: First, the rhythm of throwing and lifting poles should be controlled, and the frequency should not be too fast. You know, frequent pole lifting and bait changing will disturb the cunning big crucian carp and make it afraid to feed in the nest; Secondly, under normal circumstances, it is best to adjust the fishing of the buoy to be ineffective or dull, for example, adjust two fishing spots and three fishing spots, so that when small miscellaneous fish or small crucian carp eat bait at the bottom, the buoy will not make a big move, but the big crucian carp has obvious marks after swallowing the hook, thus avoiding the trouble of frequently pulling the rod and leaking fish; In addition, it should be noted that the bait used to catch big crucian carp should not be too small. It's best to fish with bigger bait and try not to use bait. Big crucian carp is not interested in small bait balls.

Hanging fishing is not the only fishing method for big crucian carp. The traditional fishing method with hand rod has many advantages in fishing large crucian carp in natural waters: water depth (more than 6 meters), grass holes, many fishing gear nests, obstacles in fishing spots and so on. When these hanging fishing methods can't be used or the effect is greatly reduced, traditional fishing can show its talents. As the saying goes, "there is no fixed way to fish, and the fittest is the best." There is no fixed fishing method at all, especially the big crucian carp in natural waters. Only by flexibly using different fishing methods according to different water conditions and fish conditions can we catch more big crucian carp.

Fishing skills in spring

Fishing tackle: soft rod, thin thread and small hook. Spring fishing should use a hand pole, which should be soft and 5.4-6.3 meters long.

Shallow water: Fishing in spring must choose shallow water, shore, beach and aquatic plants to catch fish.

Living water: It brings food and fresh oxygen. Fish love living waters. Fishing spots should be selected at the edge of flowing running water, on both sides of the water inlet and at the water plants.

Grass hole: fish often inhabit under the grass, looking for food, and choosing grass hole and grass edge as fishing spots will definitely have better harvest.

South wind: It's just warm in spring. East wind, southeast wind and southwest wind are all suitable for fishing, while west wind and northwest wind are not suitable for fishing. It is a good time to fish in spring when it is sunny in the south wind, or when it rains for a long time and the south wind blows one or two times.

Meat bait: after a long winter break, the temperature rises under the sunshine, and the stomach is empty, which urgently needs to satisfy the hunger. The vegetarian diet required by fish has not yet grown up, so the general omnivorous fish mainly rely on finding meat food. Sometimes, you can't catch fish with meat bait such as red worms, earthworms and shrimps.

On the Best Season for Fishing Crucian Carp

Fishing for crucian carp in natural waters is the best season in a year, spring or late autumn.

As the saying goes, "Spring comes to the fish side". It is said that early spring is coming, and in the breeding season, crucian carp like to forage in the grass in natural waters. So the method of fishing crucian carp in spring is very different from other seasons.

The difference is nothing more than active fishing and fixed fishing. According to the author's many years' experience and opinions in fishing crucian carp, it is considered that "fishing crucian carp in spring is good".

Go fishing for crucian carp first.

In spring, the three preferred waters for crucian carp fishing are:

(1) natural river. Natural rivers often stretch for miles. Once the high tide ebbs, it is deep and shallow, and it is not easy to dry up. There are many aquatic plants along the river, rich in wild crucian carp, and some of them are delicious.

(2) Small and medium-sized reservoirs. This small and medium-sized reservoir is easy to find in the city and the depth is not too deep. The wild crucian carp in this reservoir can be said to be inexhaustible.

(3) A pond without water. This pond will not release water to raise fish, and there are many wild crucian carp.

Second, go fishing for crucian carp.

Three principles should be adhered to in the choice of fishing position for crucian carp in spring:

1, safe;

2. Chaoyang grass;

3. It is convenient for fishing.

Natural rivers:

(1) For natural rivers, the riverbed should be gentle, so don't choose fishing spots with changeable riverbed and different depths.

(2) Choose a place with dense water plants by the river, and don't choose fishing spots in the cold water area under the tree.

(3) The water depth on the shore should be within 1m, and deep water or glittering and translucent fishing spots are not selected.

Small and medium-sized reservoirs:

(1) Small and medium-sized reservoirs should choose aquatic plants in Chaoyang Shoal within 50 meters of the free inlet on the reservoir, and do not choose fishing spots in the deep water downstream.

(2) For crucian carp fishing in the reservoir, the water depth can be about 1.5m-2.0m, and the over-deep water area is not selected as the fishing position.

Dry pond:

(1) Dry ponds are generally built at the foot of the mountain, and the fishing position should be near the inlet and outlet, but not halfway up the mountain or behind the mouth.

(2) The channel should choose a safe and convenient place to go back and forth as the fishing position, and don't choose the hillside with dense forest and difficult traffic as the fishing position.

Third, the fishing method of fishing crucian carp

Raiders classic tips:

Unique effect of spring crucian carp fishing in "long line and more fishing"

(1) Fishing tackle combination: 3.6m and 4.5m middle-adjustable hand poles. Fishing line: 1# main line, 0.6# secondary line. Fishing hook: Choose kareem abdul-jabbar, single hook and double hook freely, and the hook type should be small rather than large. The standard is mainly based on the seven-star standard, supplemented by the direct standard (the standard is more flexible). A small pendant, a small connector, a cheat sheet net and a fish protector. Long poles are used in reservoirs and short poles are used in ponds. There is a lot of rain in spring, so don't forget to bring rain gear.

(2) Delineate the fishing position and make a good nest: After choosing the fishing position, carefully investigate the water environment when you reach the water's edge, and make a nest to lure fish to fish when appropriate.

There are three things to catch crucian carp;

(2. 1) Near (grass edge), not far.

(2.2) Shallow, not deep.

(2.3) muddy (water), unclear (water).

The number of nests ranges from less to more. Try fishing three times 1-2 hours during fishing. If there are surprises, continue to play 3-4 nests, and there may be wonders of flowers blooming. Remember to mark each nest immediately after it is paved, so as to avoid dislocation and fruitlessness.

(3) There are two kinds of bait and bait: when you go fishing for crucian carp in spring, you can usually prepare two kinds of bait when you make a nest. One is rice wine (800g) and the other is bran residue (1000mg). When fishing crucian carp in Fuzhou, it is a traditional fishing method, and the effect is very ideal. However, making chaff bait is a little more troublesome than using rice wine, but fishermen are never afraid of trouble. The specific preparation method is very simple. Take one part of fine rice bran, half of bonus distiller's grains and half of rice, stir-fry the bran for a while and mix it with bad rice. Adding 200 grams of rice to the finished chaff can "add icing on the cake".

Bait is the key weapon to win fishing. In spring fishing, meat bait (red earthworm) should be the main bait, supplemented by vegetarian bait. After the spring, crucian carp tried every means to find a place where aquatic plants could be used as "delivery rooms" to give birth to their offspring. At this time, it is very necessary to supplement nutrition, so live earthworm is the best bait.

When you go fishing for crucian carp in spring, you often encounter thunderstorm weather. I don't know if fishermen have noticed that when the temperature suddenly rises, thunder and lightning and thunderstorms come, at this time, big crucian carp flock to the grass to grab food, which is very fierce. It can be said that the bait rate has reached the limit, forcing fishermen to be overwhelmed, and most of them are fishing for crucian carp. Local fishermen often look forward to a good opportunity of "thunder in the sky and crucian carp in the river to grab it" However, this time is short. When the thunder stops and the rain stops, a clear Wan Li often appears in the sky. At this time, all the crucian carp have also "died down" and fled. If they want to catch another one, they will end up in despair, and many fishermen are puzzled.

note:

(1) Walking fishing for crucian carp is an interesting fishing method, but it is not recommended by old fishermen.

(2) Fishing is not always in the order of wiring and nesting, and nests without fish can be jumped or abandoned.

(3) When fishing, the bait hook must be aimed at the nest, otherwise there is no fish to catch.

(4) When fishing, move slowly so as not to disturb the fish.

Several formulas for fishing crucian carp in four seasons

Characteristics of crucian carp

1. Pay attention to making a nest. According to the different time, terrain and waters, measures should be taken to make nests or feed them. For example, the bait nest of "spring fishing shoal" mentioned above is better than nesting on the spot. If a pond is overgrown with weeds and it is difficult to get out, but there are many crucian carp there, not far from home, or convenient transportation, don't let go. After choosing the fishing position, open a "hole" of about 1 square meter to completely remove weeds or other obstacles. Feeding the bait on the first day and fishing the next day is far better than the new "hole". If we can find the rotting corpses of small animals such as dead cats and rotten dogs, and tie up 1 stone and sink into the nest, we can get a bumper harvest for 4-5 days. If you are close to home, you can pour leftovers and cow dung into the nest, and the effect is good.

Make a three-dimensional nest. Suitable for deep water under steep slopes or levees. Bait preparation: stir-fry the crushed bean cake residue, add 1/5 sheep bone powder, and bag for later use. After reaching the fishing position, add 60% wet soil to the shore, mix well and rub it fine, and sprinkle it into the fishing area to form a three-dimensional nest. Tie three hooks with a hand lever flush with the pole line, and cooperate with the float to make the lower hook just sink to the bottom, with the upper hook hanging about 8 cm from the bottom and the other hook hanging between the upper hook and the lower hook. As the bait is continuously put into the fishing area, there will be more and more fishing. In the first half hour, there may be few fish, and later, there may be more fish. Even before the hook landed, it was caught by the fish halfway. It is common to catch two fish in one pole, and occasionally catch three fish in one pole. In order to save bait loading time, red earthworm can catch 3 ~ 5 fish at a time without changing bait by dipping in essence. Bait mixed with sediment will inevitably "brush" like rain when thrown into the fishing area, but as long as it is sprinkled for a few times, the fish will not be afraid. Not only crucian carp love to bite hooks, but carp also love to bite hooks.

When fish compete for food on the surface of the water, it shows that the bait throwing rate decreases because of too frequent and too many baits. It is necessary not only to stop feeding, but also to lift the bottom hook to make it close to the water surface and pull it into the fish, which will lead to horizontal drift. Use the method of throwing the rod or lifting it up and down to lure the fish into the bait. After the bait is suspended, the fish will sink to the bottom again for food.

2. Master the characteristics of big crucian carp. In the backwater vortex of the river in rainy season, near the sluice of the reservoir and at the backwater inlet of the pier, it is often the gathering place of the big crucian carp. In the pond densely covered with duckweed, there is a "snap" sound, or duckweed arches, or the head is exposed to oxygen, mostly the whereabouts of big crucian carp. If the bait hook hasn't sunk to the bottom, it stops halfway and is swallowed by the fish, and the fish slowly floats up or lies still, mostly because of the big crucian carp. The smaller the drift, or the slower the drift speed, the larger the individual of crucian carp. When observing the fish stars (small bubbles) after nesting, it is the signal that the big crucian carp enters the nest to see larger bubbles in the dense bubbles.

Attention should be paid to the treatment of shock fluid released after decoupling of crucian carp. When the crucian carp escapes from the hook, it can secrete shock fluid, prompting its partners to pay attention to danger. When other fish smell liquid, they will run away quickly. If this happens when fishing, it is best to change the fishing position, because it will affect the fishing effect if the smell of shock fluid dissipates for a long time. Hands catching fish and hooks will also be contaminated with this shocking liquid smell, so pay attention to cleaning and wiping in time, and then take bait and hook, otherwise it will also affect the bait.

4. Pay attention to the influence of wind on crucian carp fishing. In windy and wavy waters, fish are caught faster and more frequently than in quiet and waveless fishing spots. If it rains again in Mao Mao, near dusk, the crucian carp can bite the hook to an approximate crazy degree, and almost bite when it drops. At the peak of hook swallowing, it is often 1 minute to catch 2 fish. The double hook brain line is long, and the main line is flush with the pole, and the effect is better. The reason may be that in the stormy waters, there is enough dissolved oxygen and light rain, and the fish mistakenly think that night is coming, thus speeding up the feeding progress. We should seize this opportunity and not let it slip away. It seems that the southwest wind is 3 ~ 4, because the wind is too small to blow the waves and too strong to see the drift.

5. Pay attention to drift and grasp the best time to lift the pole. Small drift, that is, fishing drift rises by 2 ~ 3 squares. Like drift resistance, most of them are made of big crucian carp, so the pole should be lifted steadily.

Large-scale bleaching, even vertical bleaching, can make horizontal bleaching, which is often the characteristic of biting hooks, and all crucian carp may appear. After sending the float, you drag the float away, and then the leading float appears. In this case, you seldom run fish, even if you are late in lifting the pole, it doesn't matter. Boring drift, fishing will not come back if it sinks, mostly because of carp. After the catfish was hooked, it also looked sluggish and went with the flow. When using 33 ~ 49.5 cm long brain thread, no matter what fish is hooked, it has never seen the phenomenon of hair drift, and it will sink and never come back. So it is difficult to distinguish between crucian carp, carp, catfish and grass carp. Drift, that is, fish drift up and down, the frequency is relatively fast, mostly caused by small miscellaneous fish, especially earthworm bait. This phenomenon is so common that fishermen have to use vegetarian bait or both when they are bored. Whether it's a small drift, a big drift or a blunt drift, we should seize the opportunity to lift the rod. At the moment when the fish has swallowed the bait and hasn't spit it out, lifting the rod will deeply stab the hook and tie it firmly. This is actually the most difficult part to master in the whole fishing process, especially in the fish ponds where tickets are sold for fishing, and the fish that have been decoupled for many times are especially difficult to master. When a fish takes the bait, it bites carefully and lightly, and often only a little thin skin can be pulled out of its mouth. It often happens that some people have clear ideas, but there is a big gap in actual operation, especially the elderly, who are slow in reaction and action, and it is difficult to grasp the best opportunity to lift the pole. Why? This has to start with the hand's pole lifting action: when people's retina receives the information of fishing drift, it passes from the optic nerve to the optic nerve center, and after the analysis and judgment of the cerebral cortex, it sends out instructions to make the motor nerve pass through the spinal cord to the forearm and hand, thus producing the pole lifting action. And people's eyes staring at fishing and drifting for a long time will be very tired, and sometimes even diplopia will appear, just like the "ghost" on the TV screen. It's hard to keep an eye on fishing at this time, especially for the elderly. In order to solve this problem, many new types of fishing tackle have appeared in recent years, such as computer fishing rod, computer automatic fishing tackle, Shendiao brand fishing tackle, folding automatic fishing rod, KT-A adjustable automatic fishing rod rack, WL adjustable automatic fishing rod rack and so on. Although these fishing tackle still have some shortcomings, they have taken a gratifying step in fishing automation.
