Lujia Siniperca Tips: The Risks of Siniperca

Spiniperca chuatsi is one of the target fish in Lujia, and is also a valuable species of freshwater fish. The first step is to introduce the habitats of Mandarin fish, and to provide a reference for the LUYA fishing! According to its habits also organized fishing ideas and equipment recommendations

A, Introduction:

Chiniperca chuatsi is a spokes Siniperca chuatsi - perch order - Serranidae - Mandarin fish class, the body lateral compression, the back of the bulge is obvious, the carapace on the scales small, juxtaposed with the black patches.

Chiniperca chuatsi is mainly distributed in China and other East Asian regions such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam, and there are nine species of Siniperca chuatsi in China. In natural waters, the most common species are Siniperca chuatsi, Siniperca chuatsi, Siniperca chuatsi and Siniperca chuatsi.

Survival Temperature:Mandarin fish is a broadly thermophilic fish that can survive in a wide range of water temperatures ranging from 15C to 32C, with a high activity from 18C to 25C, and overwinters in deeper water in winter.

Habitat: Mandarin fish is a benthic fish, preferring still water or slow running water with high dissolved oxygen. It is afraid of bright light, and often hides in the lower water body during the daytime in poorly-lit shelters, such as rock piles, water plants, stone holes, fallen trees and other structural barriers, and usually feeds in shallow water in the early morning, evening and night.

Three, feeding habits:

Chiniperca chuatsi is a typical benthic ambush-type fish, feeding throughout the year, the intensity of feeding during the reproductive period is slightly reduced, the activity in winter is low, but does not completely stop feeding.

Chiniperca chuatsi in the wild feeds exclusively on live fish and shrimp throughout its life, and begins feeding on live fish at the larval stage, with no transitional stage of dietary change, which is extremely special among carnivorous fishes.

Chiniperca chuatsi mainly relies on its vision to feed, and its vision is stronger under dark light conditions. Therefore, Siniperca chuatsi feeds frequently under dark light conditions such as morning and evening, and cloudy and rainy days, and is most sensitive to the color green.

Chiniperca chuatsi locks onto the bait fish and will wait for the bait fish or approach slowly, and then suddenly attack in an explosive manner when it is close to the target, and return to its hiding place immediately after capture. Siniperca chuatsi does not have strong sustained swimming ability, and it will not chase the prey that escapes quickly, and it usually chooses to attack the target that is in intermittent movement.

Four, breeding behavior:

Breeding season:Siniperca chuatsi's breeding is related to the water temperature, in South China it is from April to August every year, in the Yangtze River basin from mid-May to early June every year, and in the Heilongjiang basin from mid-June to late July every year.

Spawning sites: Mandarin fish usually choose the sandy bottom of lakes with a certain flow rate near the water and the shoreline with wind and wave beating, and their spawning activities are most vigorous at night when the water rises after rain.

Breeding behavior: Before spawning, Siniperca chuatsi parents show the characteristics of clusters, spawning, sexually mature male Siniperca chuatsi have estrus action, will be in the water surface chasing female Siniperca chuatsi, in the past the fishermen use this feature, with a thin rope tied to the back of the female chuatsi chuatsi hanging in the river side of the flow of the river to lure the males, then gently lifting the rope to the plumbing net to get the males, the poet of the Song Dynasty, Lu You, has a verse The poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty wrote a poem, "I can't bear to drink wine in the morning, and I bought a fishing boat to catch two Mandarin fish", describing this way of catching Mandarin fish.

V. Fishing Ideas

Recommended Equipment

Recommended Equipment

Chinese mandarin fish like to hide in the obstacle structure, easy to wear the line, and will return to the structure after biting the prey, so the equipment requires a high degree of sensibility and fast return.

Rods: fast tuned or above, hardness L or above

Reels: high speed ratio fishing reels, fast return to avoid hiding in the structure

Lines: PE+carbon leader, to ensure the sensitivity and abrasion resistance

Bait Recommendations

Most Mandarin fish markers are in the obstacle structure area, easy to hang the bait, therefore, we recommend using single hooks. Use single hooks for fishing, such as lead head hooks, Texas, Carolina and other soft bait rigs, which have low cost, low bottom-hanging rate and low unhooking rate.

When activity is high, you can also use jerk-stop minnows, deep-diving fatties, VIBs, etc. to search on the outer edges of the structure.

Bait Control Techniques

Chinooks are ambush type fish and will not chase for long distances, so pay attention to the pause when controlling the bait, usually small jumps on soft baits, small pumps or even retractions on hard baits + pause.
