1. Proverbs and Fishing

Fishing proverbs are a summary of people’s fishing practices for thousands of years. From them, we can understand the life patterns of fish, learn fishing experience, and understand the relationship between weather, water conditions, seasons and fishing.

1. The life patterns of fish

“Birds have bird passages, and fish have fish passages; find the correct fish passage and fish continuously.” Although fish live in the water, It also has its own walking and foraging routes. Fishing enthusiasts also need to be able to find fish passages and fish nests. Whenever experienced fishermen go fishing, they always go around rivers, lakes, and ponds first to find a spot. In fact, they are looking for fish passages and places where fish gather to feed. If you find them accurately, you can get hooked continuously. .

"Migrate three times a day, slipping away in the morning and evening." Fish activities have a certain pattern. They usually swim to the shallow water near the shore to look for food in the morning and evening, and in the deep water in the center of the river and lake at noon. Fishermen can understand from these eight words: fish close to the shallow shore in the morning and evening, and fish farther and deeper at noon.

“Fish swim on the top of the waves, and when fishing, you need to fish at the mouth of the waves.” Beginner fishermen like to fish with the wind in the wind or in places with no wind and waves, so that they can see the float clearly and save effort when throwing the rod. The "Old Fishing Man" stands facing the wind, specializing in catching the limelight and the mouth of the waves. Because there is enough oxygen, food and fish at the mouth of the wind and waves.

“The small fish jump in panic, the big fish is coming soon”, “There are many small fish under the water, but the big fish is not in the nest”. Some fishermen are fishing in a nest, and small fish always grab the hook. It's hard to catch one. The first-time fishermen kept complaining, but they kept changing the food and were unwilling to leave. The veteran fisherman was unable to catch fish several times and found that there were many small fish, so he immediately moved his nest and looked for another fishing spot. When small fish are jumping around in a nest on the surface of the water, or when small fish are eating the hook frequently but suddenly no fish are eating the hook, the first-time fishermen will leave, but the experienced fishermen will know that the big fish is coming.

When is the best time to fish in a day? Many proverbs indicate that morning and evening are generally the best and noon is the worst. "When the sun is hot at noon, fishing is exciting; if you fish for a while in the morning and evening, you can go home and have a meal." This is the proof. This is similar to "southwest wind, fishing at both ends". Generally, fishing is good either early or late, but which one is better? "Fishing in the morning, fishing in the evening for shrimps, catching a big tortoise at noon", it shows that it is generally better in the morning than in the evening. But the four seasons are different and cannot be generalized. "Fishing in the rain and fog in the spring is early in the summer, fishing in the autumn at dusk and fishing in the winter for grass." The so-called good morning generally refers to hot summer days. In autumn, dusk is better than morning.

Many of the proverbs that reflect the life patterns of fish are combined with seasons, weather, and water conditions. For example, "On March 3rd, carp come to the river beach", "Before and after Qingming Festival, crucian carp grab the hook", "After Grain Rain, hundreds of fish come close to the shore". These proverbs explain from the season. In spring, fish begin to look for food in the shallows, especially carp and crucian carp, two wild and highly reproductive fish, which need to reserve nutrients for raising sperm and young. At this time, the water in the shoal is warm, phytoplankton begins to grow, and zooplankton begins to breed. Many of them come to the shoal to feed. After the Grain Rain, the weather becomes warmer, and other fish also come close to the shoal. This is similar to the meaning of "fishing for beaches in spring, fishing for shade in summer, fishing for pools in autumn, and fishing for sun in winter".

Rain and snow also have a lot to do with fishing. "Meiyu fishing, the more you fish, the happier you are." It means that during the plum rains season, a lot of oxygen is added to the water, the water in rivers and lakes continues to rise, and there is a lot of food washed down on the shore. The fish are very active and eat vigorously. "It is better to fish after sunset than before a thunderstorm", which means that before the thunderstorm, the air pressure is low, the water is lack of oxygen, and the fish do not eat. "The light shines after the rain, which is popular among fishermen." When the weather clears up after the rain, there is a great increase in oxygen and food in the water, and the fish are active and have a strong appetite. "In the rainy season, fish should be kept close to the edge, so rice should be spread on the edge." This means that during the rainy season, the water rises and becomes turbid, and there is a lot of food near the shore, so it is better to make a nest close to the shore. "Catch the fish before the snow, grill them in the oven after the snow", which means that the ground is still warm before the snow, and the fish foresee that the cold is coming, and eat vigorously in preparation for hibernation. After the snow, the water becomes cold, and the fish escape into deep water and hibernate. Without food, the fishermen had no choice but to warm themselves by the fire.

Different water conditions require different fishing methods. "The water is like a muddy soup, so fishing is a waste; the water is like a mirror, so fishing is not good." “When the water rises, you fish shallow, when the water recedes, you fish deep; when the water is muddy, you fish shallow, when the water is clear, you fish deep.” “If you fish deep and muddy, you can fish close, but if it is clear, fish far.” "These proverbs all explain fishing methods and choices based on the clarity of the water, which makes sense.

2. Fishing Techniques

“One river and one fish, one fish eats one erbium.”

It tells us that fish, like people, have their own food that they often eat and like to eat. We must not use one kind of lure or fishing bait as a "universal fishing bait" everywhere.

"Straight fishing rod, thin fishing line, quick hook to hold the hook without exposing the tip." This means that the rod should be straight, the line should be thin, and the hook tip should be sharp. When threading the hook, the hook tip should not be exposed to avoid irritating the fish's lips. "The smaller the hook, the better, the thinner the line, the better, and the more erbium, the better", the same principle is said.

"Lift lightly and move slowly, the fish will eat the hook diligently", "Place the nest first and then fish, lift lightly and slowly". Fish are timid and afraid of people and noise. Therefore, the steps should be light, the hook line should be light when entering the water, and the hook should be lifted slowly, so that the fish will not panic and run away.

3. What is meant by "fishing for the beach in spring, fishing for deep water in summer, fishing for shade in autumn, and fishing for warmth in winter"

" Fishing for beach in spring, fishing for deep water in summer, fishing for shade in autumn, and fishing for warmth in winter ” refers to the relationship between season, water temperature and fishing position selection, and is a summary and summary of people’s many years of fishing experience. Generally, fish are most active when the water temperature is 15-30℃, which is of course the best time for fishing. The so-called "spring fishing beach" refers to mid-spring and March, when spring flowers bloom and the temperature rises. In the shallow water area under the sun, the water temperature rises rapidly, reaching about 15°C, so the aquatic animals and plants in the shallow water area recover quickly. As a result, it has become a place where fish gather to feed, so it is best to choose sunny shallow water areas for fishing in spring.

"Xiadiaoyuan" refers to the time of midsummer, when the temperature is scorching and the sun is shining brightly. The water temperature in shallow water areas is mostly above 30℃. Because the water temperature is too high, fish cannot adapt to it, and most of them go to deep water areas to "escape the heat" and look for food. Therefore, there are very few fish in shallow water areas, and even if there are, they don't eat. Therefore, fishing in summer should be done in deep water areas or bridge holes. In the morning and evening, the water temperature in shallow water is lower and fish can be caught.

"Fishing in the shade in autumn" means early autumn, when the heat has not completely subsided and the water temperature is still very high around noon. Most fish "enjoy the coolness" under the shade of trees, reeds and lotus leaves. "To escape the summer heat", it is advisable to fish in shady places such as the shade of trees.

"Winter fishing is warm", that is, the temperature is low in winter and most fish are in a dormant state. It is not suitable for fishing in the morning and evening due to the low water temperature. Around noon, in leeward and sunny areas, the water temperature is higher and warmer, and it is possible to catch fish.

4. Why “Don’t fish for the southeast wind in summer”

Due to the hot weather and high temperatures in the summer, the southeast wind will bring a large amount of water vapor, which will increase the moisture in the atmosphere. The air pressure becomes lower, causing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water to decrease. In the absence of oxygen, fish do not like to eat and move, and their hook rate is very low. This is what the fishing proverb says, "Fishing for the old man, fishing for the old man, but not the southeast wind." For fishing in summer, west wind is the best, followed by southwest wind. Because when the west wind and southwest wind blow, it is not hot in the morning and evening, and the fish are active, making it suitable for fishing. When the southwest wind blows at noon, the weather is sultry and the water lacks oxygen, causing fish to float and not bite the hook, so it is not conducive to fishing.

5. Why “fish in the west in the morning and fish in the east in the afternoon”

Fish swim in the water and are very sensitive to the movements and reflections of people and animals on the shore. The reason for "fishing in the west in the morning and fishing in the afternoon" is that, first, it can prevent people and fishing rods from reflecting in the water when fishing, causing fish to be frightened and escape; second, when fishing in winter, the west side has sufficient light in the morning and the east side has sufficient light in the afternoon, and the water temperature Relatively high, which is conducive to fish movement and foraging, so the hook rate is high.

The disadvantage of "fishing west in the morning and east in the afternoon" is that it is not easy to observe the reaction of the fish float when fishing in the sun. You must wear a sun hat and sunglasses, or fish sideways to overcome the disadvantages of dazzling and unclear vision.

6. Why “fish close in the morning and evening, fish far away at noon”

Generally, fish in natural waters are more alert and timid. In order to avoid interference from humans, livestock and other animals, they fish all day long. They don’t go to the shore to move around and look for food. They only come to the shore to move around and look for food when the light is dim in the morning and evening and it’s late at night. This is the principle of fishing in the morning and evening.

The so-called fishing far away at noon mainly refers to fishing in summer. The water temperature on the shore is relatively high at noon in summer. Fish cannot tolerate the high temperature and swim to the deep water areas far away to "escape the heat". Therefore, it is difficult to catch fish on the shore at noon. At this time, you must use a long pole, long line or sea pole to catch fish in deep water areas far away from the shore, so fish far away at noon.

7. Why “It’s better to fish after sunset than before a thunderstorm”

The fishing proverb “It’s better to fish after sunset than before a thunderstorm” refers to the hot weather in summer, especially The temperature is very high at noon, and the water is severely lacking in oxygen. The fish feel uncomfortable holding their breath. Most of them float in the middle and upper water bodies, and the hook eating rate is extremely low.

After sunset, the temperature drops, the breeze blows on the water surface, the blue waves are sparkling, the dissolved oxygen content increases significantly, and the fish become active instantly, vying for food, and taking the bait frequently.

Before the summer thunderstorms, dark clouds cover the sky, swallows fly low, the humidity in the air is very high, the air pressure is very low, and there is a lack of oxygen in the water. The fish are unbearable and come to the surface one after another without any intention of feeding. Will bite the hook. This is the principle of “it’s better to fish after sunset than before a thunderstorm”.

8. Why “Meiyu fishing, the more you fish, the happier you are”

During the Meiyu season, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the southeastern coastal areas experience continuous rain, with abundant rainfall, and a large amount of rainwater pours into rivers and lakes. , and at the same time, land insects, plant debris and organic matter are brought into the water body, providing sufficient food for fish. At the same time, rain also greatly increases the oxygen in the water. The fish are more active than ever, have strong appetites and bite the hook frequently, so it is a great time for fishing. Therefore, when fishing during the rainy season, the more you fish, the happier you will be.

9. A dialectical look at “It’s hard to catch fish when summer comes”

After the beginning of summer, the daytime temperature increases, fish enter the growth period, and their appetite is strong. Due to the high air and water temperatures, summer is not the best season for fishing, which also adds a certain degree of difficulty to fishermen. However, if you master the life patterns of fish in summer and fish well, you can still have a basket full of fish. There are many summer fishing proverbs, which have proven the scientific truth that you can catch more fish in summer.

10. "Fish early in the morning when the sun is red, and late in the evening to catch chickens in the cage."

This fishing proverb says that the best fishing time in summer is in the morning and evening. Because before 9 a.m., the air temperature and water temperature are generally between 20℃ and 30℃, which is the best water temperature for fish to eat. At this time, the fish have a strong appetite and are looking for food everywhere, especially like to "eat" on the shore. After 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun sets in the west, the scorching intensity is greatly reduced, and the air temperature and water temperature drop. After resting in deep water, fish have a premonition of the arrival of night and swim from deep water to the shore to look for food. It is generally difficult to catch fish at noon in summer because the air temperature and water temperature are too high, so fish often swim to deep water areas to "escape" the summer heat. Therefore, the fishing proverbs go like this: "Fishing for a while in the morning and evening, then go home for a meal", "Fishing morning and evening in the hot summer", "It is better to fish for an hour in the morning and evening than half a day at noon", "Fishing in the morning, fishing for shrimps at night, and fishing for a toad at noon".

11. “Fishing in summer is better at night than during the day.”

This fishing proverb means that fishing in summer is better at night than during the day. Because at night, the water temperature and air temperature are below 30°C. Furthermore, because fish have the habit of being afraid of disturbance and strong light, there is less disturbance and weak light at night. In addition, the night is cool and the oxygen in the water increases when the evening breeze blows. The fish will be carefree and boldly swim to the shore to find fish. Find food. During night fishing, in addition to the fish that can be caught during the day, you can also catch carnivorous fish such as catfish and mandarin fish. Fishing at night can protect you from the high temperature and sun during the day. The cool breeze can make you feel refreshed and you can feel the God-given fun that is completely different during the day. It is simply a kind of enjoyment in life.

12. “When barley is yellow, fishing is busy

This fishing proverb says that the best season for fishing is summer. Before and after the awns are planted, when the barley is mature, it is the best season for fishing in summer. The best season. After mating and spawning, fish need a lot of nutrition and have to eat a lot, so they swim around and look for food. All kinds of fish are easy to catch in this season, so carp is especially easy to catch. A proverb goes: "The barley whiskers are shining, and the carps are spreading all over the ditch. ”

13. “Fishing in the shade in summer, fishing deep in summer, fishing on the side when it is neither cold nor hot”

This proverb refers to the best fishing position in summer. Summer fishing Fishing in the shade. Because the weather is hot in summer and exposed to direct sunlight, fish that are extremely sensitive to water temperature also hide in deep water and places with tree shade, slope shade, and aquatic plants to enjoy the shade, play in the water, forage, and gather to inhabit. As the proverb goes: “Next to water plants and under the shade of trees, fishing in summer is not a waste. "Fishing is deep in summer. After summer, when the temperature in the shallow water area rises above the suitable temperature for fish life, the fish will move from shallow water to deep water to swim and look for food. Because the water temperature changes slowly below a water depth of 1 meter and the temperature difference between day and night is small, so In the hot weather, most fish like to feed in 2-3 meters of water, so the so-called deeper is not the better. In summer, when the temperature is not high and the water temperature is moderate, the fish will be better. Swim from deep water to the shore to look for food, so the fishing position should be on the shore or in the shallows.

14. "After a thunderstorm, fishing will have a good harvest"

This fishing proverb says. The ideal weather for fishing in summer. In summer, after thunderstorms, it is cool and pleasant, the temperature in the water drops significantly, there is sufficient oxygen in the water, more food is washed off the shore, and fish are very active when fishing in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. , the fish take the bait frequently.

If you are fishing under rivers, streams or rivers, it is a good time to fish until the water recedes. Therefore, fishing proverbs say: "It's better to fish after heavy rain" and "It's better to fish after the rain."

15. “When the water rises, you fish at the mouth of the river, and when the water falls, you fish in the deep pools.”

This fishing proverb refers to the water conditions and fishing positions for summer fishing. Because when the water rises, a large amount of new water is injected into the water area, and the water level rises rapidly. Some fish that have the habit of swimming against the current take the opportunity to swim upstream and flock to the water inlet area. Furthermore, the new water carries various seed leaves, insects, insect eggs and their remains and bones, bringing fresh delicacies to the fish, inducing them to compete for food near the water inlet. However, when falling into the water, the water level drops significantly. The water in the shallow water area is not deep, and the fish have no hiding place. Especially the wild big fish are very vigilant. They often show panic and uneasiness, and they flee near the shore or follow the river. Flowing down, lurking in deep pools in search of food. Therefore, fishing proverbs say: "Fish will go up to the water inlet", "Fish the shoals when the water is high, and fish the deep pools when the water is low", and "fish the estuary when the water is high, fish like to swim here."

16. “When fishing faces the wind, the fishing rod bends and bends”

This fishing proverb talks about the relationship between the choice of fishing position and the wind direction when fishing. Under windy fishing conditions, there are only three situations to choose fishing positions: windward, crosswind and leeward. "Fishing facing the wind" refers to setting up fishing positions facing the wind or on both sides of the wind. The reasons and benefits of setting up fishing positions facing the wind or crosswind are: first, the waves are high and the water is active in the windward area. The area of ??the water body contacting the air is much larger than that in the leeward area. The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is greatly increased. Fish can find fish under conditions of sufficient dissolved oxygen. Bait grabs food most actively. Secondly, when there are waves, the target and bait rise and fall with the waves, making the bait target obvious and increasing the frequency of fish seeking bait. Thirdly, when there is wind, in the still water body of pond lakes, the exchange of water bodies between the surface layer and the bottom is carried out in the direction against the wind. This means that the bottom of the water moves in the opposite direction of the wind. The innate habit of fish is to swim against the current. In this way, bottom fish will gather on the windward shore. There is a fishing proverb that says “catching carp against the wind”. This is why the fishing rod will naturally “bend and move” frequently. But there is a limit to "facing the wind". When the wind strength increases to level 7 or 8, it becomes difficult to fish with a hand pole. Because the buoy is difficult to stabilize and the fish news is very uncertain, it is no longer suitable for fishing. At this time, we can only use sea poles to catch loose food and fish. When fishing into the wind, the wind force should generally be below Level 4. When the wind force is Level 5 or 6, it is better to fish in the crosswind or to catch loose fish.
