How to catch snakehead at night?

The line for snakehead fishing can be multi-strand nylon line or developing wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm, such as the thickness of sole line. Generally speaking, snakehead fishing under 2 kg will not be broken, and snakehead fishing above 2 kg is easy to break.

If you use multi-strand nylon thread as thick as the sole line, it is not easy to break the line when fishing about 4 kg of snakehead. The length of the line needs to be 4 ~ 7 meters, and the length of the line can also be determined according to the depth of the specific river.

Step 2 insert

Inserts can be made of bamboo. The insert is about 20 cm long, 2.5 cm wide and about 1 cm thick. One end of the insert is pointed so as to be easily inserted into the soil. In addition, you can choose branches, 20 cm long and thumb thick. Sharpen one end of the branch with a knife, then tie one end of the snakehead fishing line to the insert or branch, and the other end of the line only needs to be tied with a hook.

3. Hook for snakehead fishing

It is best to use a strong long-handled hook to catch snakehead. Long handle hook is convenient for developing silk or coarse nylon thread hook. People should check the hooks when they tie them. Hooks that are too soft or broken by hand are not suitable for snakehead fishing.

When tying the hook, be sure to tie the line firmly, so that it is not easy for the snakehead to unhook after being hooked, because once hooked, the snakehead will struggle desperately. It is enough to catch snakehead with domestic long-handled hook.

4. Selection of bait

There are many baits for snakehead fishing, such as small fish, shrimp, frog and loach. First choose live eel or loach, the middle finger or little finger of an adult is so thick. Remove their heads and tails, then cut them into a section of about 3 cm with scissors, and the internal organs can be removed or not, and then hook the fish hook on the eel section, and the hook tip is exposed.

Most snakeheads are caught with eel segments. Because the eel segment is hard, it is difficult to take it off the hook, so snakehead especially likes to eat, so it often catches 0.5~4 kg of snakehead. Using eel or loach as bait can not only catch snakehead, but also catch some other carnivorous fish, such as soft-shelled turtle and river eel.

It is better to catch snakehead with live loach. Choose a small live loach about 5 cm, hook it on the tail of the loach, and fix a lead pendant of about 80 g on the fishing line 8 cm away from the hook, or replace the lead pendant with a screw cap. Fishing snakehead with live loach is more troublesome than fishing snakehead with eel, but the effect is better.

Living habits of snakehead:

Black snakehead is a kind of freshwater benthic fish, which usually inhabits the waters with overgrown aquatic plants or muddy sediments, and is distributed in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, paddy fields and other waters. It has strong adaptability to environmental factors in water, especially to dissolved oxygen, water temperature and water quality.

When the water is short of oxygen, it can breathe on the water with the help of the auxiliary respiratory organs of the suprabranchial cavity. Snakehead can survive at the water temperature of 0~4 1℃, and 16~30℃ is the optimum temperature for its growth, development and reproduction. When the water temperature returns to above 8℃ in spring, it generally moves in the middle and upper water bodies;

In summer, snakehead mostly moves in the upper water; When the temperature is lower than 6℃ in autumn, snakehead swims slowly and often lurks deep in the water layer. When the water temperature is close to 0℃ in winter, it will be buried in the mud for the winter. Because snakehead has strong jumping ability, it often runs away. Hot weather, rain impact and rising water level will all cause snakehead to escape.
