Yellowtail catfish is a relatively common freshwater fish, what are the feeding characteristics of yellowtail catfish and drifting methods?

There are two types of freshwater fish that are completely mismatched in size and strength: yellowtail catfish and pangolins. These two types of fish are very powerful, much more so than other freshwater fish of the same size, and therefore are very "powerful" to fish for. The yellowtail catfish is widely distributed in some large reservoirs and lakes, and has a strong ability to withstand high temperatures, which makes it a relatively good summer catcher. To catch yellowtail catfish well, you need to fully understand the habits of yellowtail catfish. Today, let's take a look at what are the feeding characteristics and drifting methods of yellowtail catfish.

A, yellowtail catfish feeding characteristics

First of all, yellowtail catfish is a small fish, not large, the largest but 2, 3 pounds, but this size of yellowtail catfish basically can not touch, most of the fish are wooden chopsticks long fish, weighing 500 grams of the following. Like grass carp, yellowtail catfish swim in schools to feed, so they are usually not alone in the nest.

The yellowtail catfish has a wide-ranging diet, eating basically everything, and is characterized by feeding on underwater green plant debris, algae and organic matter, a diet that is actually very similar to that of the pangolin. It is also said by anglers that the yellowtail catfish's menu is a commercial synthesis of carp and grass carp. But any fish that has the characteristic of feeding on algae plants, with bait that is able to be a little fishy or exotic, will generally be more on the right track.

The yellowtail catfish's feeding position is rather unique, which brings us to the design of the yellowtail catfish's lip molding. The yellowtail catfish is an upper and lower mouth position fish, where the upper lip is longer than the lower lip, alias the skywrap. But all the fish, in the process of looking for food is the upper lip will be the first encounter ingredients, so in the drifting approach is all fishing blunt, otherwise it is difficult to get the fish rate to talk about.

The yellowtail catfish's mouth is surrounded by a hard horny layer, which will nibble on the underwater green moss and swing while nibbling, and this unique feeding posture also indicates that the drifting must be blunt; the yellowtail catfish's mouth is not big, and the strength of the mouth is not big, almost a crescent shape, so the fishing yellowtail catfish fishing subline should be thin, the hooks should be small and sharp.

2, a few common drifting methods 1, low fishing

Fishing for yellowtail catfish is blunt, I heard that at the beginning of the rise of the Taiwan fishing, fishing old-timers with four fishing two fishing yellowtail catfish, the conclusion of the drifting phase is rich, but there is nothing to talk about the rate of fish, and sometimes in the fish are all "anchor" fish. However, many anglers used the traditional fishing method, which is to say, the method of fishing with a lead weight lying on the bottom, and the fishing rate was very high.

The fishing spirit is fishing blunt seconds into the dregs, after the most yellowtail catfish feeding characteristics, mouth characteristics to gradually determine the fishing blunt fishing rate will be a little higher. Therefore, the drift can simply let the fishing eye over the adjusting eye can be, and then effectively adjusted according to the fish condition. Generally speaking, the adjustment of flat water fishing 2, 3 eyes are not necessarily a higher rate of fish, fishing eyes are usually higher when the fish will be.

2, the lead lying bottom

Previously introduced the hookless drift, which is a double hook completely lying bottom, the double pedestal line loose bending drifting method, I think the essence of all is to adjust the low fishing a high, only the double hook situation is more unique, when the fishing aim is equal to the adjustable eye plus double hook net weight to realize this kind of fishing hook lying bottom. When the fishing level exceeds the level plus the net weight of the hook, the lead gradually touches the bottom.

This is a basic drift setup that doesn't take into account how the subline holds up underwater. However, when fishing for yellowtail catfish, the subline is thin and soft, which makes the basic theory basically close to the concrete. Therefore, when fishing in flat water with 2 or 3 meshes, it is possible that the bobbin line is loose and bent, and when fishing with 4 or 5 meshes, it is very likely that the lead is lying on the bottom.

There is also an alternative way of adjusting the lead, which is to not hang the subline, adjust N fishing N + 0.5, the lead is touching the bottom but not completely lying on the bottom. Pull up the lead 20 centimeters, hang the short subline fishing, so that the subline is lying on the bottom, eight rings touch the bottom, the lead suspended state, is also more suitable for fishing yellowtail catfish. In short, adjusting the low eye fishing high eye can basically meet the needs of fishing yellowtail catfish, according to the high and low rate of fish in this base fine-tuning, but generally more blunt adjustment.
