How to catch eels at night?

The 7-shaped Monopterus albus catching cage can catch Monopterus albus in paddy fields and waters with aquatic plants. It is usually placed before dark at night and collected the next morning. The 7-shaped eel catching cage is suitable for diving catching, the lantern-shaped scorpion is suitable for deep-water catching, and the eel likes the shore when foraging at night, so the scorpion should be as close to the shore as possible.

2, put the needle hook eel method

The needle hook method is suitable for lakes, gullies, ponds and other waters with eels. Its advantage is that a disposable needle hook can catch a large number of eels, and it is easier to get hooked.

3. Trapping Monopterus albus in cages

After the eel cage is filled with bait, it is usually released along the waters where the eel enters and exits at 6-7 pm, and the cage is closed at 4-6 am the next day. When releasing the cage, you should pay attention to placing the whole eel cage horizontally in the water one meter away from the shore, in the culvert next to the roots of the water, and underground with aquatic plants.

Extended data:

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, eels will come out of the hole. In summer, eels and loaches will come out of the hole to feed and lie quietly on the underwater mud. The activity habit of Monopterus albus is to lie in the hole during the day and go out for food at night. According to this habit, you can fish at night. Because there are frequent activities of changing eels in summer and autumn, you can fish eel larvae (summer and autumn are most suitable).

Monopterus albus has the habit of foraging at night when it grows in nature. The activity of Monopterus albus is closely related to the water temperature, and the suitable water temperature for its growth is 15-30℃. Stop eating when the water temperature is lower than 10℃ and enter hibernation; When the water temperature is above 15℃, normal predation begins; When the water temperature exceeds 30℃, enter the cave to escape the heat.

When the needle is used to hook the eel, the needle gauge is 5-8m, and the eel is inspected about 2 hours after the needle is put in. Because the eel is not easy to escape after swallowing the hook, the biggest disadvantage of catching the eel with a needle is that it is difficult to take the needle after swallowing it. After taking the needle, the eel will be seriously injured and cannot be stored for too long, let alone raised.
