How to catch herring in winter

Traditional skills of herring fishing;

Fishing point selection

If you want to fish well, you must pay attention to the choice of fishing spots, especially herring. We must first understand that this kind of fish is a lower-middle species. When we fish, don't go too deep.

Although herring is a carnivorous fish, its character is not fierce and its activities in the water are not very frequent. So when fishing, you should choose the place where herring likes to move and get off the hook.

Common places to catch herring are places with more food, places close to aquatic plants and rock obstacles, places where rivers return or places where water flows slowly. Food is easy to gather in these places, and herring usually inhabit these places for food.

Fishing gear configuration

Although herring is not fierce relative to carnivorous fish, it is fierce to vegetarian fish, and its larger size provides a lot of strength than ordinary fish, so it puts great pressure on fishing tackle. Therefore, it is much easier to fish with the traditional thick hook when fishing, and the degree of insurance is high. Although Taiwan fishing is sensitive, its operation tolerance is much worse.

First of all, the length of the fishing rod should be sufficient, generally more than 6 meters long, and the quality and performance of the rod body should be excellent, so as to better control the herring hooked.

The fishing line needs a line diameter of 0.5, and the fishing hook needs a hook of more than 8. This combination of thick thread and hook will be safer for herring fishing.

Drift is mainly determined by the distance and depth of the fishing point. Generally, the place where the big herring moves is remote and deep, so it is necessary to use the big drift with clear goals.

Nesting skills

Black herring is a carnivorous fish, but vegetarian bait is occasionally eaten, so in this high temperature season, we can often see many fishermen making nests with grain bait such as millet, corn and wheat with poor bran.

Even if there are small fish making trouble in the nest, they will soon be lured into the nest. As soon as the herring enters the nest, the small miscellaneous fish will flee quickly. It should be noted that because herring eats a lot and eats quickly, it must be full of nest material, otherwise it will leave after eating it.

Fishing skills

Herring's reaction to drift movement is obvious when eating, but it is cautious and timid, and its cruising speed is also slow, and its speed of taking the bait is slower than that of other fish. If you fish in reservoirs, lakes and other large water surfaces, the fish will be scattered because of the vast waters and scarce fish, and sometimes the fish will not be hooked quickly even if the dens are well done, so it is best to continue fishing.

Taiwan fishing, on the other hand, depends on frequency, so it is difficult to play it perfectly. In order to catch fish more stably, traditional fishing will have a better effect, and patience is very important.

Fishing skills

Black herring is relatively large in size, with great strength and endurance after being hooked. If you don't master the skill of walking fish, you may not be able to harvest it. When the black herring takes the bait, first of all, you should lower the tip of the pole and take up the line. If the tip of the pole is too high, the fishing line will jump too tightly, which is easy to directly confront the fish and lead to disconnection.

It takes patience to catch herring, and even more patience to walk herring. Don't let the herring rush ashore, so that the fish can't walk through the fish. In the early stage of walking, herring has enough physical strength, so don't deliberately suppress it, interfere with its escape and disrupt its swimming rhythm and direction.

Here is a little common sense of catching herring. Unlike other fish, herring chews after swallowing food, so it eats the bait firmly. Therefore, as long as the fishing line is tightened and the strength is within the tolerance range of the fishing rod and fishing group, it is basically impossible to run away.

When the herring strolls until the fish star is exhausted and starts to turn over, the chances of catching fish are much higher. At this time, just pull the fish to the shore and copy the fish with a net. The temperature is high in summer, so fishermen should take measures to prevent heatstroke. It's best to take an umbrella when fishing, so as not to be affected by wind, rain and sun.
