Essential tips for winter carp fishing

Carp is a common freshwater fish, a common fish for anglers, but as the weather gets colder and colder, fishing is getting harder and harder, so what skills should you master if you want to catch carp in winter? Follow me below to take a look.

Winter carp fishing skills: choose fishing spots

Winter, carp fishing in large and medium-sized reservoirs, the choice of fishing spots should be targeted, no matter what kind of reservoir, the angler should be in the sunny and sheltered from the wind, under the dam, the foot of the mountain, the steep banks of deep water, deep water in the big ditch and branch of the deep water and other deep water places to choose the fishing spot. The two mountain ranges between the sandwich ditch and have a gourd waist and sunny and sheltered from the wind at the large deep water bay, such places by the north wind, northwest wind less influence, air temperature, water temperature compared to other places will be much higher, is the winter fishing wild carp fishing in the best position.

But no matter what kind of fishing spot you choose, you have to fish deep, but the deepest is no more than 8 meters, and the shallowest is no less than 4 meters, otherwise there are few big carp biting. Of course, if the temperature is stable for many days, the weather is sunny, the water temperature rises a lot, the carp will leave the deep water to the sunny and windy water temperature is higher in the shallow water activities for food; if the fishing waters as a whole is very deep, the depth of the near-shore water depth of five or six meters deep, such waters, is to fish 15 meters deep is not too much; if the fishing waters as a whole is shallow, in the case of the same depth of the water, the further the fishing point is offshore, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish, the higher the rate of fish. The more you go, the more you'll be able to get to the top of the pile, and the more you'll be able to get to the bottom of the pile.

Winter carp fishing tips: fishing group configuration

Winter carp fishing in large and medium-sized reservoirs, because the fishing point is in the deep water far away from the shore, so the short rod is not in the choice. If you don't have a long rod, using a short rod with a long line is fine, but it's just not convenient to walk the fish. Although it is carp fishing, the struggles of carp are much weaker in winter, so there is no need to use thick lines.

I usually use a good quality main line of size 1 to 1.2, with a soft, high-strength subline of size 0.6 to 0.8. Depending on the size of the fish in the water you are fishing in, you can use a size 3 to 5 Ido hook or other equivalent type of hook. Floaters should be streamlined and long, with long, thin legs and tails. Such a float will clearly convey the slightest movement of the carp bite. If you are fishing in shallower water, you can use a small size 3 float; if you are fishing in deeper water, you can use a medium size 1 float.

The reason for using a small float is that the action of the fish biting the hook will be partially buffered by the long water line, and then transferred to the float will be much weaker. In addition, due to the fishing distance is relatively far, the angler often due to inaccurate drifting caused by the hook run fish, in order to be able to clearly observe the drift, the angler can be targeted to choose the drift tail thickening of the float, drifting is very eye-catching. You can also add a visual enhancement bean to the float, which will also have a very good effect.

In terms of float tuning, winter carp are not as active as they should be, and they have a small opening and weak suction, plus the anglers are fishing in deeper water, which leads to less obvious drifting.

But the carp bite is already slow, to adjust the spirit of fishing blunt, in order to meet the habits of the winter wild carp. I usually set the hook in half water at 5 eyes, and then fish at 2 eyes, 2.5 eyes or 3 eyes according to the fish conditions of the waters I am fishing. If the carp eat steadily and move more, adjust flat water fishing 2 eyes will have very good results. Generally speaking, one bait lying on the bottom and one bait suspended can be used for pendant fishing. If you use the traditional pendant sinking fishing method, to fish running lead, but the subline must be short, the longest not more than 5 centimeters, otherwise, the fish rate is much lower.

Winter fishing line skills

1, line diameter should be small

The line diameter of the line is the most easy to "climb fish" is the experience of the old angler, the reason is mainly because of the fine line is not easy to cause the fish vigilance, the signal conductor agile, the rate of fish is high, the recommended use of 0.25 - 0.5 small size line.

2, cut water should be good

Cut water is good line is not only not easy to scare the fish, but also can reduce the impact of the wind on the float, recommended the use of carbon line.

3, memory should be low

Line with high memory is easy to bend and knot, line with low memory is not easy to deform, the memory of carbon line is lower than nylon line.

4, the body of the line to be soft

The body of the line is soft line activity is strong, not stiff, not easy to break, the general new line is better than the stock of the stock line.

5, knotting force should be strong

Also known as good tension, it is recommended to buy brand-name line.

6, to avoid the use of super standard line

Super standard line is mainly reflected in the line on the diameter of the super standard, when purchasing, pay attention to visual inspection and feel, do not easily believe the advertisement. Readers will see:
