How to trap eel? Let me introduce them to you one by one, and welcome your reference.

? Method for trap Monopterus albus

Monopterus albus looks like a snake, and its surface is sticky and slippery, so it is difficult to catch Monopterus albus with ordinary nets. At present, the commonly used methods are fishing, cage catching, trapping, copying catching, photo catching, forced catching, clear catching and water grass gathering catching.

1 fishing

Fishing is an effective way to catch Monopterus albus, but most of the Monopterus albus caught are injured and are generally not used to catch young Monopterus albus. Fishing rods used for eel fishing can be divided into soft hooks and hard hooks. The soft hook is an ordinary fish hook, the hook handle is tied to a nylon line of about 1 m, and the other end of the line is tied to a bamboo pole; Hard hooks are made of steel wires, such as spokes and ribs of bicycles. One end is sharpened, burned red on the fire and bent into a hook, and the other end is tied to a bamboo pole.

April is the time to fish eels every year, and May is the best. The key to eel fishing is to find an eel hole. Monopterus albus mostly lives in still water or on slow-moving shores. The hole is round and smooth, slightly thicker than the eel. Some Monopterus albus use natural crevices as caves. When people walk on the shore, they find the hole and put a hook with thick green earthworms on it. Because Monopterus albus is particularly gluttonous, as long as there is Monopterus albus in the hole, they often swallow it in one gulp and drag it into the hole. If you feel that the fishing rod is sinking, drag it out quickly. When the eel shows half of its body, the other hand should hold the fist in vain, stretch out the middle finger, catch the eel, put it in the eel cage with both hands, and take off the hook.

When fishing for eels, we should look for eels holes near the waters with good water quality. Soft hook and hard hook have their own advantages and disadvantages. Hard hooks are easy to probe holes, but they are also easy to unhook. Soft hook is not easy to enter the hole, and eel is not easy to escape after biting the hook. Therefore, soft and hard hooks are often used to catch Monopterus albus. The specific method is that the handle of the soft hook is tied to the steel wire with a rubber band, and once the eel swallows the bait, the steel wire is immediately loosened to become a soft hook, so that the eel is not easy to unhook.

In addition, some people like to fish eels at night. Hooks are the same as soft hooks, except that the bamboo pole is shorter, the wireless end is sharper, and it is inserted into the soil. Hang the earthworm on the hook at night, put it in the water where the eel infests, and close the hook the next morning.

2 cage capture

Cages are mostly woven with bamboo strips, and their structures can be divided into four parts: front cage, back cage, cage cap and inverted whiskers. The front open end is a front cage, and the rear closed end is a rear cage. The rear opening of the rear cage is sealed with a cage cover. The mouth of the front cage has inverted whiskers in the shape of eight, and there are two inverted whiskers at the joint of the front and rear cages. The rear cage body and cage cover are inserted together with a cover label. Hat labels can also be used to hang earthworms and lure eels into eel cages. The size, length and thickness of the eel cage can be determined according to the location where the eel is caught.

Eel cages should be kept at night. In the shallow waters of ponds and rice fields at night, the water depth is no more than 35 cm. Put the earthworm or mussel meat on the label, put the front cage flat on the bottom of the water, press it with stones, and the back cage will tilt, and the cage cover will be exposed out of the water 10 cm, so as to prevent the eel from suffocating and dying because it can't breathe air. Eel cages can also be used to catch shrimps, and one person can manage 60. Catching Monopterus albus in cages is harmless, and young Monopterus albus can be used for breeding.

3 entrapment

Monopterus albus should be trapped in a bamboo basket with a diameter of about 20 cm, and the mouth of the bamboo basket should be wrapped with two layers of gauze. There is a 4 cm round hole in the center of the gauze, and a 10 cm cloth tube is sewn on the hole, which is perpendicular to the basket. Earthworms, mussels or loach should be placed between two layers of gauze as bait.

Bamboo baskets should be placed where there is running water. At night, put bamboo baskets in shallow water in ditches, rice fields and ponds, where eels often haunt. The bamboo basket should be placed horizontally, with the mouth facing the direction of water flow, the bottom buried in the sediment, the yarn hole slightly higher than the bottom, and a small part of the bamboo basket exposed to the water. When Monopterus albus forages at night, it will be lured into the basket when it smells the fragrance of bait, and because of the long cloth tube, Monopterus albus can't get out. The trapped eel was slightly injured.

4 copy and acquisition

Copying and catching Monopterus albus is to take advantage of Monopterus albus' habit of lurking in the haystack. You can use triangle to copy the net, or you can use ordinary net pieces. The triangular copying net is triangular and consists of a net body and a grid frame. The net body is 2.5 meters long, the front mouth is 2.3 meters wide and the back mouth is 0.8 meters wide. The center is shallow, and the net body is composed of fine net pieces.

This method is suitable for lakes, ponds and ditches. First, build a grass nest with lotus seeds or drought-loving weeds and let eels move under the grass nest. When working, I hold the net in my hand, gently reach under the grass, and slowly catch the fish and grass together.

According to the arrest

Taking pictures is relatively simple. Using the characteristics that Monopterus albus comes out for food at night and is afraid of strong light, we can achieve the purpose of fishing. Taking pictures requires two people to cooperate with each other. At night, one person takes a flashlight and one person takes an eel, looking for the eel in shallow water such as paddy fields and ditches. When you find it, shine a flashlight on the eel's head, and the eel will climb motionless on the bottom of the water. At this time, another person quickly caught it with an eel clip.

The eel clip is made of two bamboos 1 m long and 4 cm wide. Carve one side of the bamboo into a zigzag shape, make a hole in the center of the bamboo 30 cm away from one end, and tie the bamboo together with iron wire to make it scissors-shaped.

6. Compulsory arrest

The so-called forced fishing is to spread drugs in most waters where the eel lives, thus stimulating the eel and forcing it to flee to a smaller place without drugs, so as to concentrate on fishing. Simply put, it is to catch Monopterus albus by forced gathering.

Commonly used drugs are tea cake, croton and pepper. Tea cake, also known as tea cake, contains saponin alkaloids, which are toxic to aquatic organisms, a large number of which can kill them, and a small amount can make them escape. The dosage is 5 kg /667 m2. Tea cakes should be baked and crushed, put into a bucket and soaked in boiling water 1 hour before use. Croton has strong medicinal properties, and its dosage is 250g/667m2. Pulverize into paste before use, and spray 15l water when using. Select the hottest pepper, Qixing pepper or Chaotian pepper, soak it in boiling water 1 time, soak it again after filtering, and spray filtered water twice with a sprayer, with the dosage of 5 liters per 667 square meters of filtrate.

Forced capture method can be divided into still water forced capture method and running water forced capture method. Running water irrigation is often used to irrigate rice fields. Two 50 cm mud ridges are built at the water inlet with a spacing of 2030 cm, forming a short canal, one end of which is connected with the water inlet. In this way, water can only enter the paddy field through a short canal, and 23 water outlets are opened on the ridge opposite the water inlet. Sprinkle or spray medicine in the field, and drag it in the field once with an iron rake to make the eel escape. When a large number of Monopterus albus come out of the hole, the water inlet is opened to make the water flow in the field, so that Monopterus albus can enter the upstream of the short canal in a countercurrent way, thus being captured.

Still water method is not suitable for irrigating rice fields. Rake the mudflat above the water surface first, and pile a pile of mud around the site every 10 meter, 5 cm below the water surface. Put a frame net on it, and pile mud on the net, which is 15 cm above the water surface. After putting the medicine into the ground, Monopterus albus felt uncomfortable, that is, he swam to the edge of the field, got into it quickly after encountering a small pile of mud, and when it was all in, he could pull the net to catch it. Put the medicine in the evening and close the net the next morning.

7 clear capture

Cleaning and catching eels ponds are mostly used for eels. When fishing Monopterus albus, clean the pond by digging mud, and the action should be light so as not to hurt Monopterus albus. After finding Monopterus albus, catch it in a temporary breeding pond and let it spit out all the mud.

8. Collecting and catching aquatic plants

Using the habit of Monopterus albus like shallow water, we put several groups of aquatic plants in the wide waters where Monopterus albus infests, and the next day we fished Monopterus albus out from under the aquatic plants with net bags, and the aquatic plants we fished out were Monopterus albus. Monopterus albus caught in this way is not easy to be injured and is suitable for breeding.
