The so-called rock fishing refers to fishing on rocks or reefs that protrude from the water. Around the rocky mountains, reefs, islands and islets that are inaccessible or rarely disturbed by human beings, underwater is often mountainous, steep and unfathomable, and the terrain is very complicated; Surrounded by rugged rocks, between reefs and at the headland of the strait, there are often extremely rich aquatic animals and plants, which has become the only way for all kinds of migratory fish in the ocean to seek bait and lay eggs. Throughout the year, the fish source is extremely rich, so it has become a fishing paradise for rock fishing adventurers. To find a rocky fishing ground, you don't have to cross the sea by boat to find the bare rock reef; Along the coastline or the edge of rocks and reefs around the big island, breakwaters, wave-breaking piles, seawalls, sluices, ports, docks, bridges, oil platforms, abutments or berthing ship sides, all places where the water level can reach 23 meters, 35 meters or 10 meters or more at high tide are good rock fishing grounds. Rock fishing can be divided into "light rock fishing" and "heavy rock fishing". "Guangyan Fishing" is light in equipment and uses "light weapons", mainly small and medium-sized fish; "Heavy rock fishing" is well equipped and needs "heavy weapons" to attack large and medium-sized fish. Because there are many kinds of marine fish and their bodies are different, their swimming layers, personalities and feeding habits are different. In addition to light and heavy fishing tackle, the specific fishing group and bait also vary from fish to fish. Here are two kinds of fishing tackle and fishing methods for light and heavy rock fishing.

light

Fishing tackle for light rock fishing includes: optional carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced plastic rock rod or 1 cast rod with a length of 4.5 ~ 6.3m; There are 1 medium spinning wheels, which can store 100 meters to 120 meters; Generally, No.3 main line (φ0.28 mm), 1.5 or No.2 secondary line (carbon line) are commonly used. Clothes on fishing groups, such as buoys, bait cages, swivel rings, rubber tubes, space beans, large and small lead pendants, small floating balls, luminous sticks and hooks, will form many different fishing groups; Other auxiliary fishing tackle, including long-line fish protector or refrigerator, bait bucket, long-handled bait ladle, 4-5m long-handled net, loose rope, safety belt and rope, rain hat, sunglasses, life-saving vest, raincoat, non-slip boots, catering, fishing gear bag, etc. Before talking about the specific fishing method of rock fishing, let's first understand the special buoy, bait cage and special fishing group structure of rock fishing. If we don't understand these main structures, then we can't do rock fishing.

buoy

Because of the particularity of rock fishing grounds, it is necessary to equip special buoys to adapt to this environment. It is very different from the freshwater fishing buoy. The difference is that these buoys are equipped with 2/ 10~3/ 10 metal "self-weight" devices, which look like "tumblers". After the buoy enters the water, it can "stand on its own feet" in any shape, which is beneficial to throwing fishing and will not cause "sleep marks" due to light falling objects. There are three types of rock fishing buoys. The first category is "Abo" buoy, also known as "Dan cone"; The second category is called "Addari"; The third category is called "Shui Piao". "Grandma" and "Adali" are divided into several models, and each model is from small (light) to large (heavy), which is generally divided into eight grades. The grade is indicated by the English letter "b", 1B, 3b2b ............................................................................................................................................... "Shui Piao" is a hollow ball with a size of 5B~6B. There are two small holes and two small pistons on both sides of the ball. Small holes are convenient to be filled with proper amount of water (generally 1/5 ~ 1/3), and then it is convenient to use small plugs for fishing. The self-weight device with irrigation has good stability. The above three kinds of rock fishing buoys are all produced by fishing gear manufacturers, and the materials are paulownia, Chinese fir, balsa wood, engineering plastics and so on. Self-weight devices are generally cemented with cast copper parts, which can be immersed in seawater for a long time without corrosion. The largest Abo buoy is the size of a goose egg, the longest Addari buoy is 30cm, and the largest water buoy is10cm in diameter. The outer layer of the wooden buoy is covered with waterproof nylon membrane, and the upper part is coated with bright fluorescent red. All buoys should be bright and eye-catching and jump clearly in the rough waves, so that fishermen can observe the "fish news" reflected on the buoys after eating the hooks.
