Ice fishing skills in winter

Fishing anywhere on the ice in winter is beyond the reach of fishing in other seasons. Because the water temperature is very low, the physiological activities of fish are greatly affected, and they are in a semi-sleep state, and their response to external influences is very slow, so their vigilance is very low. In addition, there is a thick ice layer, which makes the external influence appear very slow and reduces the impact of external changes on fish.

The attraction of ice fishing 1: Look at "Tian" action. The attraction of ice fishing lies in the special weather. This particularity requires fishermen to pay special attention to the weather changes. Because people think the weather is uncomfortable, fish will not feel comfortable. So it's best not to choose windy days to travel, not to mention the fish are not active. If the temperature is below 0℃ during the day, the ice mouth will freeze continuously, so it is necessary to keep fishing for ice. Usually, in this case, most fishermen hold an ice fishing rod in one hand and a filter in the other. People get tired easily after a long time. If the temperature is above 0℃, it will be much more comfortable. Don't think that you are skilled or not afraid of freezing, and you have to go out on snowy days. At this time, you can bear it first. After all, the right weather can better appreciate the fun of ice fishing.

Reminder: Generally speaking, an inch of ice can make people shrink back. 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 very thick in the dead of winter, because the sun shines on the pier with cement and other textures, the pier absorbs heat and dissipates heat, which will make the ice surface thinner. At the same time, the bridge deck is windproof, and the ice below and near the bridge deck will become thinner or even frozen. If you get too close, an accident will inevitably occur. 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. When fishing in a lake or reservoir, water sometimes slides under the ice, so when chiseling the ice eye, it should be chiseled into a straight line. The traditional ice cutting method is fan-shaped, but if the ice cave is fan-shaped in the water with water flow, if the bait is put down, the bait will often run out of the vertical projection of the ice eye with the water flow, and the "nest" is equal to not hitting. So cut it into an "I" shape. In this case, if there are three ice eyes, two eyes will retain the bait and only one eye will be lost due to the influence of water sliding when building a nest.

Ice fishing attractions 2: all proverbs. It is particularly important to summarize the experience of predecessors in fishing or any sport. In cold weather, throw away the warmth of the greenhouse and experience the fun of ice fishing in nature. There are many differences between ice fishing in winter and fishing in other seasons, so many anglers have summarized some simple and easy-to-remember fishing proverbs through their own personal practice, which is a good guidance and help for many friends who like ice fishing.

How to choose fishing position for ice fishing? The fishing proverb says that "the cave is full of holes and the fishing spot is the best", which requires the fisherman to know the underwater terrain well before choosing the right one. He also said: "Catch the pond in warm weather and the bend in cold weather", "Don't catch the deep place in sunny winter", which is based on the thermotaxis of fish. Because "the water temperature is not suitable, there is no chance to go down." Fishing proverbs also say: "Ice fishing finds grass nests, and there are many hidden fish underwater". Where there is a lot of hay, fish can hide from the wind and cold, which is the best habitat for fish in winter. When fishing in winter, you must pay attention to the weather changes. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for fishing on snowy days and cloudy days. Even on sunny days, we should choose to cut ice eyes in the lee of the sun. So fishing proverbs tell us: "It is feasible to fish on ice in the lee of the sun", "It is better to fish in the shallow water of the sun than in the deep pool of the sun". In short, there is a similarity between ice fishing and other seasons, that is, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and food should be fully considered, because these are the basic elements of site selection.

Bait selection for ice fishing: "Seasonal changes, eating habits change". Although the bait for ice fishing is varied, it is mainly fresh meat bait. Fishing proverb says: "Spring is meat, summer is autumn, and ice fishing for meat bait fish is the most greedy." The main bait of ice fishing is bee pupa and earthworm (earthworm should be dipped in sesame oil or essence), and the bait yield is much higher than other bait, which is convenient to use. Ice fishing should be lured before fishing, and the bait should be fragrant or fishy. This is mainly because "fish look for bait in summer and bait looks for fish in winter". If "the nest floats, there must be something wrong with the bait", try to make the bait better than the bait before the fish will take the bait.

Skills of ice fishing: The skills of ice fishing can be summarized as: one lure, two fragrances and three teasing. A fisherman said, "cut the ice eye and throw the bait." Don't hurry away, wait a little longer. " . When gouging the ice eye, the fish will definitely escape into the water if they are frightened. Therefore, there is no need to get off the hook in a hurry and lure the fish back with the smell of bait. Fishing proverbs also say: "In winter, the action of fishing and swallowing is light, and the fisherman nods to lift the pole." In winter, the fish's body is stiff, and its food is half open. It is rare to see the phenomenon that floats sink or rise for various purposes. Therefore, watching floats is extremely important. As long as you see the float moving up and down, you can lift the pole. Don't miss the opportunity. The fishing proverb also says, "You don't have to worry about lifting, pulling, hugging and teasing fish." When the fish don't eat the hook, gently lift the line every three to five minutes to keep the bait dynamic, which often leads to immediate results.

Reminder: Reciting proverbs is very helpful to master the skills in ice fishing.

Ice fishing attractions three: everything.

How to adjust fishing: 1, line group: Taiwan fishing: the line group is basically the same as Taiwan fishing, so the movable floating seat is used. For example, if you use "Taiwan fishing" with long body and long tail, don't forget to add a small tube (small plastic tube, about 2 mm long, slightly thicker than the floating tail) in front of the floating seat without adding a small float; Brain line (sub-line) is about 10 cm. Traditional fishing method: the simplest method is to add a movable floating seat (such as "Taiwan fishing" with a long tail, don't forget to add a small tube in front of the floating seat), a single hook, a soft brain line (the thinnest strong horse), and add "biting lead" at the connection end between the brain line and the main line. You can also use ordinary fishing lines as brain lines. Note: the movable drift seat should be selected according to the drift angle, and the line can be tightened by inserting the drift angle.

2, bleaching: it is best to adjust in the transparent bleaching bucket at home. Mark floats, one for each line group. Taiwan Province Fishing: Flat Water. Traditional fishing method: floating water to adjust lead and wipe the bottom.

3, floating elephant: Taiwan fishing: looking for the bottom after the worm (after the tail rises above the water for more than one eye, then pull it down). Please lift the lever when pausing, jumping, feeding and moving. Traditional fishing method: after catching insects, find the bottom (it is enough to surface the tail, and generally you can fish horizontally). Put the fish in the floating pole; Black drift, jump, move, etc.

How to dig ice caves: Open three fan-shaped ice caves with a distance of 40~50 cm and a diameter of about 20~25 cm. It is also necessary to cut the fish side into a slope, so that the fish can be easily led out of the water hole with the help of the swing of the fish and the slope of the hole wall. At the same time, it also prevents the ice from damaging the hook line.

How to fish: In winter, when the water temperature is very low, fish usually organize themselves and gather in groups in specific places. Some species are basically inactive; Although some species are very active, their range of activities is also very small. Crucian carp, carp and bream are the latter, so people need to find fish when ice fishing. Never stick to one place when fishing. Keep your distance when the ice is crisp in the morning, and dig 3-4 groups of ice caves in deep water and shallow water to fish in turn. Every three to five minutes, you have to lift the float for 20~30 cm and then put it down. This is called teasing. It is often necessary to change the position of drifting in the ice cave, which can often get good results. If you don't catch fish in an ice cave for half an hour, move to another place immediately. Don't waste time. But if one of the ice caves catches fish soon, we must catch it firmly. After catching 3-4 fish, throw 10 red worms to keep the fish in the nest and prevent them from flowing. Sometimes, only one of the three ice caves can catch fish quickly, and the other two are slow or difficult to catch fish. At this time, it is necessary to dig two more holes next to the ice cave where the fish is fast. If the fishing speed around is slow, you must transfer it from a long distance.

Reminder: 1 It is safe, and it is necessary to prevent frostbite and falls, especially to prevent people from falling into the water. Go in groups and take care of each other. Don't forget to take a long rope before you leave, just in case. Wear light and warm clothes to ensure easy movement. Rubber tube or plastic should be covered on the tip and hook of the ice jump to prevent people from hurting themselves and protect the sharp blade from being damaged.

Ice fishing equipment: 1, warm clothes, thick-soled boots (my experience is that high-top sports shoes are good, although thinner and warmer than leather cotton shoes), thick socks and knee pads are preferably old. 2. Ice shovel: Ice shovel is the first choice for digging ice caves. It is generally made of 45 steel, and the length is preferably between 90cm- 100cm, which is the most labor-saving when digging ice caves. 3. Fence: Fence is used to remove the broken ice in the ice cave. It is best to choose the one with a diameter of 15 cm and an aperture of 5X5 (mm). If the aperture is too small, the filter screen is like a big spoon, and the water leakage is not smooth; If it is too big, it will be difficult to clean up the small ice slag. The mesh surface should not be too deep, as long as it has a certain curvature. The net surface of this fence is shallow and elastic. Once it freezes, just put it on the ice and it can be folded. The total length should be based on the straight arm reaching the far edge of the ice cave. 4. Hook: In ice fishing, the hook replaces the net to hook the big fish out of the ice hole. Hand hooks can be purchased and made by yourself. It is best to choose the one with a triangular hook tip, which is relatively sharp and 50-60 cm long. 5. Fishing rod: Ice fishing generally uses three fishing rods at the same time. The use principle is as follows: in shallow water ponds (if the water depth is within 1.5 meters), it is best to use a long fishing rod (80-120 cm); It is best to use short poles (50-80 cm) for reservoirs with deep water. This is for the convenience of fish. 6. Fishing group: In winter, the action of fish eating bait is lighter, and the fishing group should be light, thin and clever. 1.5 high-intensity fishing line is more suitable for the main line; It is best to use 1.2 high-strength fishing line for the secondary line. Using Haixi No.5-7 or No.6-9 as hooks, ordinary plastic drift is enough. This collocation has high sensitivity and accurate display. As long as the fish floats a little, it can be caught, and even the fish weighing 1500 grams can be pulled out of the ice cave directly.

Tips: 1. When making a big line, put a "front stop" at the front end (one of the seven-star drifters, available in fishing gear shops). The purpose is to tighten the line after lowering the pole (the "front stop" can be stuck at the first porcelain eye of the sea pole), so that the fishing line between the first porcelain eye from which the sea pole turns can be kept tight, and it is not easy to freeze the line when it freezes. The sequence of big line fittings: 1 seven-star float-small plastic pipe-floating seat-lead pendant-sub-line-first porcelain fishhook outside the eye. 2, lead drop treatment, fishing often happens when the fish is stuck in the ice mouth. Some people think that the hook is stuck. In fact, the vast majority of lead pendants are stuck in the ice mouth. There is not much problem with the big lead leather seat of Taiwan fishing. Biting lead should be treated. In a word, the lead pendant should not be "Taiwan Province". 3. Traditional fishing is the highest enjoyment. When the fish is in good condition, traditional fishing can be used. If the fish is in bad condition at first or the fishing pond is "grabbing fish", you can use Taiwan fishing. 4, make a nest, according to personal preferences. 5, change the fishing position, winter is "people looking for fish", a fishing point can consider transposition for 30 minutes without fishing, and fishermen in other positions can keep it for a period of time when fishing is not good. If a fisherman often fishes near a certain place, he should change to a nearby place as soon as possible. If he has an "old eye" nearby (he gave up after being smashed open that day), he can try it. If you can't, you'd better open your eyes one meter away from the angler and try not to affect others. 6, mentality, keep a good attitude when taking the pole, even if many fishing friends gather near you, you should treat it calmly and don't affect yourself and others' ice fishing mood.
