How do wild crucian carp make nests in winter?

Compared with other seasons, the selection, location, time and dosage of wild crucian carp nesting in winter are very different. Let's take a look at how wild crucian carp nest in winter.

First, material selection.

In the process of fishing crucian carp in the wild, rice dimple material should be the most commonly used nest material. The comprehensive effect of wine and rice is stable and sudden, and the fishing cost is relatively low, which has become our first choice.

However, due to the influence of low temperature environment in winter, the activity of crucian carp is reduced, and the cruising range in water is obviously reduced. Rice itself does not have atomization effect, and the effect of rice nest on attracting fish is also obviously reduced. Therefore, in order to achieve good results, we need to control the choice of rice.

Considering the shortcomings of rice wine, combined with the advantages of small miscellaneous fish not nesting in winter, we can break through from three directions: flavor type, atomization effect and fish residence time.

The first is the blend of flavors. Generally, yellow rice wine is mainly fragrant with wine or medicine, which is equivalent to "vegetarian dishes". Crucian carp, like us, want to eat "meat dishes" in winter. At this time, we can choose rice wine with fishy smell or add raw eggs to rice wine to taste.

Then, ingredients such as rapeseed cake, commercial bait, wheat bran and so on are added to the rice dimple material, so that the rice dimple material also has atomization effect, and then the speed and effect of attracting fish are effectively improved.

Finally, tiny nest materials can fall into cracks and dead branches at the bottom of the water, making it harder for crucian carp to suck, so that they can stay in our dens for a longer time.

When the glutinous rice nest material we choose has good effects of attracting fish, gathering fish and raising fish, the effect of such glutinous rice nest material will naturally not be bad, and it is also the greatest guarantee to improve the final fishing performance.

Second, location.

Compared with other seasons, crucian carp tend to gather in winter. At this time, we need to learn to take the initiative and judge where they will hide according to their living habits. When there are crucian carp near the nest, the possibility of catching them will naturally increase exponentially.

When we fish in small waters, the preferred area is the area with aquatic plants and dead branches, because the water surface in small waters is often not too deep. This area with obstacles can not only provide a hiding place for crucian carp, but also make it easier to hoard food. It is warmer in winter and naturally attracts crucian carp to gather here.

When we are fishing in large waters, it is a good choice to go back to the bay. There are depressions, piers and other places at the bottom of the water, because these places are often deep, which can give the crucian carp enough security and stronger warmth, and it is also the favorite place of crucian carp.

Third, time.

After matching the nesting materials and choosing the fishing position, let's talk about the nesting time.

Winter is the coldest season in the whole year, and the overall temperature drops first, then stabilizes, and finally starts to heat up. The physiological characteristics of crucian carp will change with the change of seasonal temperature, so it is best to grasp the nesting time according to the performance of crucian carp, so as to maximize the nesting effect.

When the temperature is high and the crucian carp is active, we generally only need to nest 1~2 hours in advance. When the temperature is low and the activity of crucian carp is low, it often takes 3~4 hours to build a nest. At this stage, you can nest at 5~6 am, start fishing after 10 in the morning, or nest at 8 am.

In case of freezing at low temperature, you can nest at 5~6 o'clock in the evening of the first day, and then wait until the ice above the nest melts in the morning before getting off the pole, which can not only fully attract fish to gather fish, but also avoid the embarrassment of breaking ice and scaring crucian carp.

Fourth, the dose.

Considering the low enthusiasm of crucian carp to eat in winter, it is not appropriate to put too much nest material, generally about 50g in a nest, but in order to ensure the final fishing probability, it is advisable to make 3~5 nests at the same time, especially when fishing in unfamiliar waters.

When we fish in familiar waters and the density of crucian carp is relatively high, we need to increase the amount of nest material. If overnight nests are needed, the amount should be doubled, generally around120 ~150 g.

In short, the number of nesting materials is directly related to the nesting time, the size and density of fish. If we need to go fishing long after nesting, a small amount of nesting materials often can't keep crucian carp in the nest. If the crucian carp in the fishing ground is big and dense, the nest material will be swallowed up soon, so we need to put more into it to attract fish to raise fish.

Well, these are some skills about how to make a nest for crucian carp in winter. I hope this answer can help you.
