1, Time: Catfish is a nocturnal fish, which often lurks in the water during the day and is very active at night. At the same time, catfish is a kind of warm-hearted fish. The hotter the weather, the greater the appetite. Therefore, the nights with high temperature such as summer and early autumn are the prime time for wild catfish fishing.

2. Nesting: Catfish can nest at night or not. If the fishing time is long, it is recommended to make a good nest. Commonly used nest materials include internal organs and scraps of domestic animals, earthworms, loach, mussels and snails. And bone meal, red worm meal, shrimp meal, etc.

3. Bait: Catfish is a carnivorous fish, with a large appetite and gluttony by nature. They mainly feed on small fish, shrimp, benthos and aquatic insects, and especially like to eat fishy bait. Catfish fishing at night generally uses meat bait such as earthworm, chicken liver, loach and duck intestines.

4. Fishing tackle: Catfish can be caught by hand or sea pole at night. When using a hand pole, you should be equipped with a night fishing lamp. When using sea poles, bells or fish alarms should be equipped. The fishing line can be made of nylon yarn with a size of more than 2.0, and the fishing hook can be made of Yi Shi hook with a size of more than 6 and thousand hooks with a size of more than 2.

5. Lift the pole: Catfish eat the hook very fiercely. When fishing catfish with a sea pole at night, you can lift the pole as long as the bell rings loudly or the fish alarm sounds. When fishing catfish with a hand pole at night, it is necessary to mainly catch black drift and oblique drift, and pull the fish out of the nest quickly after catching the fish, so as not to scare the fish and fry the nest.

Catfish fishing at night is basically the same as fishing during the day, but there are still many differences. Mud beach is one of them. Mud beach can be chosen as the first fishing spot for fishing at night. When night falls, the catfish that has lived in the snail's nest for a day slowly swims out of its "cave house", and the first thing to do at this time is to feed.

There are basically no small fish in the deep water at night (experienced fishermen know that there are few small fish making nests at night), and the small fish are slowly concentrated in the shallows. Many small fish prefer shallow mudflats, where food is the most abundant and can best meet their survival needs. Similarly, it attracts catfish. Fishing in shallow mud beach is the best choice for anglers.

The benefits of fishing:

Sunshine can make people have healthy skin and rosy face. After the human body is irradiated by ultraviolet rays in the sun, it can enhance the blood circulation of the skin and internal organs and promote metabolism in the body. Furthermore, urban noise has caused serious environmental pollution, and people often go fishing in open and quiet waters. Quiet environment can eliminate the fatigue of both ears and help to maintain good hearing function.

Besides, fishing can also improve the reaction ability. Associate Professor Wang Jian pointed out that the key to fishing is to observe drift and lift the pole in time. It takes a long time for beginners to practice fishing, which can exercise people's reaction ability and improve the flexibility of brain cells. Fishing often is also good for your eyesight.
