First of all, understand the habits.

Catfish is a nocturnal fish, which likes to inhabit the bottom of dark waters during the day and move in shallow waters at night. Therefore, it is easier to catch catfish by choosing to fish separately at dusk or in the evening.

Second, choose fishing tackle.

When fishing catfish, you should choose a fishing rod with hard tone or medium hard tone to cope with the strong struggle of catfish. At the same time, using thick hooks can better prevent catfish from unhooking. It is recommended to choose 3.5-4 nylon thread with 10- 12 Yi Shi hook.

Third, choose the fishing position

Catfish like to feed in places with obstacles such as river banks, stone piles and docks. Choosing these places as fishing spots can increase the chances of catching. In addition, dark and humid waters are also catfish's favorite habitats, and these places can be chosen as fishing spots.

Fourthly, bait selection.

Catfish is a carnivorous fish and needs meat as bait. Common catfish baits include chicken intestine, duck intestine and pig liver. You can also use live bait such as loach and small fish. When using live bait, attention should be paid to keeping it fresh to increase the attraction to catfish.

Fifth, adjust fishing groups.

According to the water depth and fishing position, choose a suitable float, generally choose a float with good stability and high sensitivity. When adjusting the fishing group, make sure that the bait can sink to the bottom and the float can stand firmly in the water. This can better observe the floating movement and capture the bite signal of catfish in time.

Sixth, master the skills.

When a catfish bites a hook, it usually appears a black floating body or the floating body sinks slowly, but sometimes there is no obvious signal. Therefore, anglers should concentrate on lifting their poles in time. Pay attention to the angle when lifting the pole so as not to disturb other catfish.

Details that should be paid attention to in catfish fishing

First, arrange the time reasonably.

Catfish are more active at dusk and night because of their living habits. So it is easier to catch catfish when fishing at this time. In addition, continuous rainy weather or after heavy rain is also the time when catfish are active, so you can seize these opportunities to go fishing.

Second, pay attention to safety.

Pay attention to safety when fishing catfish, especially at night or in rainy days. It is recommended to bring lighting equipment such as flashlights or headlights to see the surrounding environment and water surface clearly in the dark. In addition, wearing appropriate clothes and shoes can also increase the safety of fishing.

Third, protect the environment.

Pay attention to protect the environment when fishing, and don't litter and destroy the water environment. In addition, the dead fish should be treated reasonably to avoid adverse effects on the environment and ecology.
