Wahoo can be farmed. But the economic value is low, farming is meaningless. Artificial breeding of Spanish mackerel, relatively speaking, the breeding cost is relatively high, and the survival rate of Spanish mackerel is low, so the scale of breeding is gradually reduced, and now basically do not farm, are used to fishing.

Fishing for Spanish mackerel is a very critical choice of fishing spot, usually should choose the island and the island side of the larger reefs near and the water quality is clear and transparent place. Fishing for Spanish mackerel can be done with bait or real bait. The best place to catch wahoo is on an island, and the best place to catch wahoo is on a boat.

Choose to go out to sea in the weather with a wind of 2-3 degrees, and the fishing position should be chosen in the sea around a radius of about 50 meters of the reef. Tides require that the tide falls one-half (i.e., half-tide, also known as "falling half shelf") or "backflow" (refers to the tide falling to the lowest point after half an hour or so, the tide has just begun to rise time) and high tide after the "backflow" period of time. The "return" period is the period of time when you are fishing.

Specific fishing method: you need to use a small horsepower fishing boat. With a large boat horsepower is too large, the stern of the double propeller turned up the wave is larger, and the trajectory is longer, the area is larger, easy to make the Spanish mackerel frightened and escaped. It is best to use a Yamaha small boat trailer, generally about 8 horsepower can be. Sailing speed is about 8 knots per hour.

When the boat into the fishing point, the boat speed slowed down to 4-5 knots or so, the rod will be thrown out of the line, bait, continue to the water release line, about 80 to 120 meters from the boat, the boat speed to 6 knots or so, so that the boat after the fishing line is slightly straightened and bring up the bait to the surface of the sea under a meter or so, and then insert the rod on the side of the boat in the special card holder or in the hands of the engine to keep the rod piggyback with the surface of the sea to form a 45-degree angle, so as to observe. The first thing you need to do is to keep a 45-degree angle between the rod and the surface of the sea.

This method of fishing for blue-spotted mackerel intercepts and swallows the hook mainly in the body of the rod. When the fish, the rod suddenly up and down the rapid movement, and then the rod as a whole big bend, this is the best time to start the fish, should be timely rod back up to stop, the boat speed should be slowed down immediately or stop, and then quickly swing the handle back to the line.

This kind of fishing method is mostly for the big blue-spotted mackerel hooked, such as the fish is too big, should be adjusted to release the release line. Because of the large fishing area, and far away from the shore, without any obstacles, can make the fish struggle to line, but need to pay attention to keep the line is always in the popping tight state, in order to prevent the big fish "wash the gills" when the hook is thrown off.

Until the fish no longer want line, and then swing the wheel to collect the line, repeated a few times, the big blue-spotted mackerel will be exhausted by obediently dragged to the side of the boat, with a big net or planing hooks will be a part of the satisfaction in the cabin fishing.

One of the fishing seasons and time

Blue-spotted horse mackerel Department of temperature, tropical oceanic fish genus, the temperature of the water, the water quality requirements are higher, and where the serious pollution of the sea is rare. Pollution of the sea is difficult to see its trail, Dalian area every year from the beginning of June there are blue-spotted horse mackerel appeared on the coast, at this time the local people called "spring Spanish mackerel", its back to the group density is small, and more in the shallow waters (higher water temperature area) foraging, small individuals.

From early September to mid-October, the adult blue-spotted mackerel return to a larger number and density of individuals weighing more than 600 grams, and foraging enthusiasm, swallowing the hook quickly. The fishing time should be chosen from dawn to sunrise and sunset to sunset, and seldom feed at noon.

Particularly around the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar is the best season to fish for blue-spotted mackerel, and in the early morning and evening during this period, most of the reefs along the coast of Dalian are overcrowded with people, and there are a lot of people swinging their rods and casting their lines.

The excitement of the anglers when the fish are hooked and the occasional silver light falling on the bow of the boat, the shore, the head of the reef is not lost in the most beautiful scenery.

Two, Spanish mackerel habits

Today's Spanish mackerel main fishing grounds in Zhoushan, Lianyungang offshore and southeastern coast of Shandong, April to June for the spring season, July to October for the fall season, the fishing season in May to June. Fishing methods include drift nets, machine-wheeled mid-water trawls and hook-and-line fishing.

In the resource-rich fifties and sixties, May to June in Bohai Bay is a good season to catch Spanish mackerel, the sun touched the mountain before the drift net, net floats, marking the awn stretched more than a dozen miles, the next morning, there are often three or four thousand tails, the weight of three or four kilograms of the delightful harvest.

The Spanish mackerel sex ferocious, every year from June to mid-October often cruising in shallow water along the shore in pursuit of food, its streamlined shape, high swimming speed, sharp teeth, like a cheetah chasing its prey, frightened small fish fleeing around, often panicked and rushed to the shore on the reef "rows of children," the spectacular scenes of Spanish mackerel flying to catch food.
