1. Bream habits and baiting strategies
The freshwater waters south of the Yangtze River are often the distribution area of ??bream. This kind of fish has a wider body, a smaller head, and generally weighs no more than 1 kilogram. Nowadays, this fish species is cultivated artificially in many places. In terms of living habits, they like to forage in groups. They are active in the middle and upper layers of the water body from late spring to early autumn, and in the middle and lower layers of the water body from late autumn to winter. Bream is not as cold-resistant as crucian carp, so fishing in winter is not as effective as in summer, but bream can still be caught in winter. In addition, bream has very high requirements for water quality and has difficulty surviving in sewage.
Bream is not very picky about food and is suitable for both meat and vegetables, but it mainly eats vegetarian bait. Fishermen can use flour bait, cooked mulberries, wheat grains, green beans, earthworms, red worms, shrimps, algae and other baits to catch fish. The bait can be the bait used for fishing crucian carp or add an appropriate amount of bran atomization, such as wine rice, Bran, commercial mixed bait, etc.
2. The configuration of fishing tackle
The mouth of bream is very small, so you should choose a smaller fishhook. If the fishhook is too big, it will not be able to eat. Iseni 5 is recommended. No. 6 is fine. The line group is determined according to the size of the fish. It is best to use a small float and a lighter lead sinker. If you are using a traditional fishing loose marking line set, the thinner the better within the visible range, and it is important to choose a light rather than a heavy pendant. Finally, the length of the fishing rod should not exceed 5.4 meters to facilitate flying lead casting.
3. Fishing position selection
According to the living habits of bream, we need to select fishing spots in a targeted manner. When the temperature is high, the nest should be built next to shallow aquatic plants. , the slow edge of running water, the shade of open water or around the cage; when the temperature is low, choose deep water, fishing spots with obstacles, such as branches, gravel, or pits with high and uneven bottoms.
4. Fishing method
If bream is set as the target fish species, it is recommended to build a heavier nest because bream is a social fish. When the fish are lured over, You can enjoy fishing on the pole. When the temperature is high, bream will swim in groups in the middle and upper layers of the water body. They can mainly fish and float. The bait is always suspended, and then they are searched layer by layer according to the swimming layer of the fish. If it is Taiwan fishing with double hooks, it is recommended that the distance between the hooks of the double hooks be 6-8 cm, because the bream is wider, which can increase the chance of catching fish with the double hooks.
The bream eats the hook at the entrance slowly, but clearly and crisply. There is often a fish signal when the buoy is still in motion. There is no need to rush to lift the rod at this time, especially when fishing with earthworms and other meat baits. When you find that you have to wait for the buoy to come up and stop after sending the float, you need to wait for the buoy to sink into the water before lifting the pole.
The swarming habit of bream greatly increases the possibility of catching fish on the pole. After you catch a fish, you have to seize the time and continue fishing. They don’t hold the hook for a long time like crucian carp. Fish schools generally stay for no more than 1 hour, so fishing friends should keep it tight during the fishing process. Be quiet, avoid scattering the fish, and try to extend the stay time of the bream in the nest. In addition, bream are also highly alert. After catching a fish, fishermen should walk the fish out of the nest and lift it out of the water in time to avoid scattering the fish. When there is a short stop, fishermen should use methods such as teasing and trolling to fish in the nest. Lift the hook bait around to lure fish to eat the hook.
When you are mainly fishing for other fish species and want to catch bream as well, you can fish on the bottom instead. Try to use smaller and lighter floats and lead pendants so that the bait can slowly fall in the water. Increase the residence time of the hook bait in the middle and upper layers of the water body to facilitate the bream to intercept the fish halfway. In the summer, the author often fishes by the cage in the wild river. The water depth is 3 to 4 meters. I mainly catch crucian carp and carp, but I can often catch bream or bream, while others rarely catch it. I consulted these fishing friends about their fishing methods. In order to increase the sinking speed of the hook bait and increase the frequency of catching fish, most of these fishing friends equipped with large weights, causing the hook bait to quickly pass through the bream in the water. The swimming layer results in a low probability of finding bait, and the slow descent speed of small pendants and small targets increases the probability of bream finding hooked bait and eating bait.
The swimming layer of bream will change with changes in temperature. Fishing friends should pay attention to observation and exploration, promptly discover the changes in the swimming layer of fish schools, and adjust fishing strategies. Only by adapting to changes can you have good fishing. Get.
