How to adjust the drift when fishing for freshwater fish in spring

Fishing tackle combination

Traditional fishing tackle: Throw the pole to keep fishing, mainly hunt for bass in the middle and lower layers of the fishing spot, and also fish for other omnivorous fish. You can choose a hard-adjusted sea pole above 3.6 meters. 4 sticks. Equipped with a large spinning reel or a fork-shaped toothed hand dial, it can store more than 120 meters of No. 9 fishing line. The length and diameter of the sub-line should vary depending on the connection method of the fishing group. Bottom sinker string hooks are more common, but single hooks with single sinkers can also be used, with several small particle floats in front of the hooks. The fishing hook is "Changhai" No. 305 or a similar size fishing hook. In order to prevent the hooked big fish from dragging the fishing rod into the sea instantly, the rod holder should be inserted and the fishing rod should be fixed with a loose rope while waiting.

Trolling fishing gear: 1 3.9-meter or 4.2-meter hard-adjusted long-range sea rod, equipped with a large long-range cast wheel. The main component of the fishing rig is a homemade float. Take a spherical net float with a hole in the middle, and use a knife to cut off part of the periphery to form a drop-shaped or oval shape of suitable size. Insert a heavy pendant with rings at both ends in the middle of the float hole and fix it. The ring buckle at the small end of the float is connected to the main line. The other end is tied with a "Changhai" 301 fishing hook with a 1.5-meter sub-line, and a biting lead is set 20 cm above the hook. The buoyancy of the float is greater than the sum of the gravity of the fishing group. Fishing friends whose financial conditions permit can try the authentic version of "floating rocky fishing" by choosing a special rocky fishing rod with an imported Awa float. The depth control of the fishing group's entry into the water can be adjusted at any time, and the effect is better. The use of high-end fishing rigs with high price tags not only requires the fishermen to have superb casting skills, but also requires the fishermen to be well aware of the topography of the bottom of the fishing ground. Otherwise, the fishing rig will be broken due to frequent "shooting" and anchor hooks. The halberd sank into the sand, causing heavy economic losses.

Fishing spot selection

When fishing for bass from the shore, the selection of fishing spots should follow three no-miss principles. First, we must not let go of the salty and freshwater intersection waters of river estuaries that are surrounded by mountains and rivers and have pollution-free water quality, as well as the shallow inner bay waters where submarine reefs are intertwined and densely populated with caves. The submarine ribbon reefs are bordered by large mud and sand flat areas and intertidal areas. Sparse gravel beach with seaweed. If there are tributaries of sea currents flowing slowly nearby and rich in dissolved oxygen, it is an "ideal home" for small and weak omnivorous fish to inhabit and feed. Large bass that follow bait fish often inhabit and feed here. Dalian Donghai Park and the coast from Lingshui Bridge to Xiaoping Island in the west belong to this type of fishing ground; secondly, culverts cannot be ignored. In recent years, a large number of open and gentle shallow mud beaches in the suburban sea area have been reclaimed into aquatic product breeding bases. In order to make use of tidal differences to absorb seawater and discharge wastewater for pool water circulation, there are at least two culverts on the sea-blocking dam, and there are at least two culverts outside the hole. The endless sea is surrounded by a calm main water diversion channel. With the regular rise and fall of the tide, small fish and shrimps are carried to the vicinity of the cave entrance and into the cave by the rapid current. Due to the dark light in the cave, it provides favorable conditions for bass to hide and look for food, making it a "blessed place" for bass fishing. There are many culverts in the shrimp breeding area of ??Longwangmiao in Jinzhou District; thirdly, the roots and entrances of docks and dams cannot be left alone. Bass often gather in deep and slow-flowing inlets, and the individuals are relatively large. Those who are ambitious to break the fishing record cannot go wrong by sticking to the dam fishing spot. Schools of bass often appear at the pier owned by the Maritime University near Lingshuiqiao Station. To judge whether there are bass wandering in the fishing area, the observable favorable phenomena are: first, there must be turbid water quality caused by non-human pollution and a strong smell of sea; second, when bass are feeding, a large number of small fish panic and swim towards Or jumping out of the sea, seagulls take advantage of the fire to prey on small fish, creating a scene where seagulls hover at low altitude and swoop at the sea surface, refusing to leave for a long time. Occasionally, you can see the dorsal fin of a bass flying across the calm sea surface, or you can see a bass suddenly jumping out of the sea to chase small fish. These signs indicate that this place is an excellent fishing spot for bass.

Fishing timing

The waters from Xiaoping Island to Jinshitan on the southern coast of Dalian are the "golden season" for bass fishing from mid-May to the end of July every year. Although the distribution density of fish is not as high as that of the North Sea The sea area is comparable, but the tail weight is sometimes unexpected. The author once caught two seabass at Lingshui Bridge in June 2000, both weighing no less than 4,000 grams. I was so proud that I would set and maintain a local fishing record, but I never expected that it would be broken by fishing friends that year. The "golden season" for bass fishing in the waters of Jinzhou District and Changxing Island in Wafangdian is from August to October, and the density of fish distribution is simply unbelievable. In 2001, the author went fishing with fishing friends in the "Yangquan" waters of Maoyingzi Town, Jinzhou District, and caught 4 bass weighing about 500 grams using a hand rod. According to the description witnessed by fishing friends, the island fisherwoman used bamboo poles as fishing gear, a primitive fishing and hunting method, and harvested 6,000 grams in half a day. Bass likes cold and is afraid of heat. If the water temperature is too high, it will move to deep waters. Most of the fish caught when the water is cool in spring are adult fish (brother fish), while in autumn when the water is hot, young bass are the "main force".

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." Bass is a nocturnal fish and is very sensitive to strong light. It only relaxes its vigilance and forages for food on the shore when the sea is covered by night and cannot see its fingers or under the cover of turbid water. Therefore, it is best to fish at night and on cloudy days. The fishing couldn't be better. The author once took advantage of the hazy weather conditions to achieve a brilliant record of catching 12 bass in 90 minutes, with a total weight of 14 kilograms. When the tide rises by eight points and recedes by two points, it is the peak feeding period for them. They miss the reception time and go on a collective hunger strike. They turn a blind eye and remain indifferent even when the bait hook is brought to their mouths.

Categories of fishing bait

“Fish are like a flower, all relying on bait.”

Although bass is a typical ferocious carnivorous fish, its feeding habits are very distinctive. My experience gained over the years is that the bait must be live, fresh and tough.

Small live bait: (1) During the low tide and dry season, there are many lively small sorghum leaves, small flower tigers and small gobies hidden in the scattered small puddles on the intertidal tidal flats. But the sea bass’ favorite. Open the stone slab, catch some and keep them in a bucket. They are durable and love hooks. (2) Freshwater loach is cheap, easy to raise and has a strong fishy smell. Bait fish with a body length of about 8 cm is of suitable size, with a black back and yellow belly, and a fat and robust body.

Rockworm bait: Rockworms, also known as meat maggots, belong to the order Trichopodia and the family Nereidae. The body length is about 30 centimeters. The front half of the adult body has a layer of light blue or light green fluorescence. The body fluid is thick and fishy, ??making it a good bait for fishing for bass. Rockworm resources are becoming increasingly depleted, and it is very difficult to collect them by yourself. The price is expensive, as high as 240 yuan per kilogram. Using only the hook-loving part of its head as trolling bait is beyond the reach of ordinary working-class fishermen.

Six-line fish bait: Choose a six-line fish with a tail weight of 100 grams, slice the fish meat from the tail forward, and then cut it open into four sharp-shaped triangular fish fillets 8 cm long. Take one piece and fold the big head and hang it on the fishing hook, which is enough to be used repeatedly for a long time. The skin of the six-line fish has particularly good toughness, strong hook attachment, and its flesh is white in color. It is eye-catching after entering the water and is economical and practical. During the trolling process, the movement resembles that of a small swimming fish, and the effect of luring hungry and unselective large bass is very significant.

Fishing Techniques

Throwing poles and stringing hooks to catch fish, the position of the fishing group is artificially restricted to the local area of ??the fishing point and remains stationary, and all the fishing hooks are dropped among the seaweed, completely It is waiting for the fish to "come begging", which is difficult to attract the attention of the bass and difficult for the bass to take the initiative to come. Moreover, if rockworms, the "universal bait" for sea fishing, are used as bait, the miscellaneous fish will cause trouble and the hooks will be extremely annoying, and the belated bass may not have a chance to enjoy the meal at all. If small live fish and fish meat are used as bait, once the bass is not within the landing range of the fishing group and small omnivorous fish are not very interested, they are likely to join the ranks of the "air force". Unless you find a shallow fishing spot where bass are concentrated, use this trick with caution. This is my personal opinion. At least I don’t like it. Believe it or not. #p#page title#e#

At present, the trolling method (the basic principle is the same as that of floating rock fishing, the only difference is that it requires artificial external force to make the fishing group move at a constant speed on the water surface) is widely used in the coastal economy of Dalian and even the whole country. It is very popular in developed areas. Its essence is to use movement to control stillness, change fish looking for bait into bait to find fish, change passiveness into activeness, and change passiveness into positivity. During the trolling process, the long-range fishing group slowly retreats. The bass swallows the fishing hook when chasing the moving bait hook. If you suddenly feel a sudden tug when the reel is reeling in the line, you should immediately raise the pole to stab the fish, and first kill the fish. Hook, and then take in the line steadily. Notice! During the reeling-in process, the fishing line should be kept taut at all times and should not be relaxed to prevent the big fish from decoupling and escaping. If the underwater pulling force is too large, it means that the big fish caught is not an easy one. Do not lift the rod forcefully to take up the line, so as to avoid pulling the fish's mouth open or breaking the line due to tug-of-war and causing the fish to escape. The correct method is to loosen the drag switch or hold the central shaft of the hand wheel with your hand, so that the big fish can use the "brake" to escape outward, and then take in the line when the force of the fish's escape weakens. Repeat this until it is tired and turned white and then dragged to the shore to catch fish. Be careful when fishing! The dorsal fin of the bass is hard and sharp, and the edge of the gill cover is as sharp as a blade. It cannot be grasped directly with hands to avoid paying a "bloody price". The standard operating procedure is: use the thumb and index finger of the left hand to pinch the lower lip of the fish, place the fish flat on the ground, step on the tail fin of the fish with the right foot, and cooperate with the right hand to remove the hook. It will be safer and more secure if you have fishing friends to assist you.
