Tips for fishing sea catfish:
Fish will generally hide in places with obstacles such as piles of rocks or bridge piers. If the water depth in these places is between 1.5 meters and 3 meters , then it can be determined as a catfish fishing spot.
The nest materials can be animal offal, chopped small fish and shrimp, etc. The first choice for fishing bait is chicken intestines. Cut the chicken intestines into small sections of about two to three centimeters and hook directly.
For the fishing group, choose a thicker line and a larger hook.
The best time for fishing is in the morning at dawn and in the evening.
Note:
Don’t make the hook too small:
Sea catfish have larger mouths and are greedy. They usually catch fish when the hook is lowered. The hook quickly eats the hook into the stomach, and it is difficult to remove the hook, which wastes a long time. Hooks No. 13-15 should be used or hooks specially adapted for sea catfish.
Change fishing spots in a timely manner:
The activity range of sea catfish is small. When the fish caught are smaller than the original ones, fishing spots should be changed decisively and promptly.
The sub-line should be as thick as possible, preferably multi-strand nylon line:
Because sea catfish have fast teeth, the action when eating bait is to use the mouth to pick the sub-line first and then Swallow the bait close to the mouth, and the thin line will be easily broken.
