Summer is the peak fishing season. Do you have any tips for fishing yellowtail in the reservoir at this time?
Yellow tail pomfret, commonly known as yellow tail, is a small to medium-sized fish. Summer is the peak season for fishing. The yellow tail looks like a slightly wider and larger white strip. In many areas, it is only found in relatively large reservoirs and has certain requirements for water quality. Because the main food of yellowtails is plant debris and underwater moss, if the water quality is poor, the light transmittance of the water is not enough, and it is difficult to have moss underwater. The biggest feature of the yellow tail is its small size and strong strength, so even though it may not be considered a small fish, it is very fun to fish. 1. Tips for choosing fishing spots
Yellowtail is a fish that feeds in groups. When in natural waters, it will eat live bait such as insects and shrimps. It will also eat more high-grade plant debris and stick to Underwater moss and algae. There is a cuticle around the mouth of the yellow tail, and the cuticle is used to "scrape" the moss. This eating characteristic is basically only found in the yellow tail among Chinese fish.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a fishing spot when fishing for yellow tail. Too shallow is not good, and too deep is not good. Usually, an offshore location with a length of 10 meters and a water level of 2-4 meters is more suitable. Try to choose a good water level position at this distance between offshore accounts. Secondly, there are choices related to landforms, underwater environment, and wind frequency.
If it is the bottom of cement, stones or sand, it will be far better than the area with sludge bottom. Simply put, it is easier to catch yellowtail on soft bottom, because soft bottom is the best place to catch yellowtail. Moss is more likely to grow, and stone slopes and gravel slopes are most suitable for fishing yellow tail.
However, hilly terrain is generally chosen. Hilly terrain is suitable for keeping fish, and it is also convenient for yellow tail bait. Fish do not have to lower their heads to eat, and baiting will naturally be easier; look for Huishui Bay, Insects and plants are relatively abundant here; look for trunks and tributaries connected to the river, do not fish the river or the main river; the temperature is high in summer and the wind and rain shelter areas that cannot be lightly blown by the wind are not suitable. Fishing in small winds can turn the tables against the wind, while fishing in strong winds can turn the tables into crosswinds. 2. Fishing group matching
Yellow tail is not large, so fishing group matching does not need to be so exaggerated. When fishing for yellowtail, special attention should be paid to the selection of fishing groups. Because fishing for yellow tail offshore is far away and deep, you will still encounter big fish, but many characteristics of yellow tail require the use of thin wire hooks. The yellow tail's mouth is not big, and its nickname seems to be called a cleft mouth. The mouth is open but has a small crescent. This main purpose is to easily eat moss.
Therefore, the fishing hook must not be too big. Generally, thin fishing hooks such as sleeve hooks and Haixi are used; the yellow tail eats by "gnawing" against the wall. If the sub-line is thick, it will definitely block the mouth. . Therefore, generally fishing for big fish with yellow tail is sufficient, and fishing rods 4.5-5.4 are most suitable. The lead of the fish float can be slightly larger, at least 2 grams is the best for the fishing rod, and the signal transmission ability is very fast when fishing in deep water. Depending on the method of drift adjustment, the sub-line can be long or short. 3. Making nests and using bait
Yellowtail and dace are very similar. They are both small and strong fish, and both have upper and lower mouths. They also have very similar eating habits and the recipes are very similar. wide. I remember what I said before, for any fish that has the habit of eating underwater invertebrates and moss-growing habits, any bait used after making a nest can use a fishy or peculiar smell nest material. To make a nest, use peanut drying (rapeseed cake), add a little chicken feed, and soak it in beer for one night. It is good to add flour the next day and then make a ball into a ball to make a nest (some fishing friends will continue to add clay. This is aimed at Fish with upper and lower mouths are basically reasonable).
There are many choices of bait. In the traditional fishing method, loach is often used to catch yellow tail, and the effect is also good. For Taiwan fishing, just use crucian carp bait. All kinds of cereal baits can be used, and they can also have a bit of fishy smell. Some fishing friends also like to add a little algae powder, which is also very reasonable for fishing yellow tail. After all, yellow tail is a fish that eats moss. 4. Drift adjustment techniques
In fact, there is nothing particular about drift adjustment. Generally speaking, if you can’t catch yellow tail, you are basically a fisherman. There are even situations where the blunter the fish is, the more it catches the fish. In fact, the reason lies in the "mouth" of the yellow tail. Yellow tail is a fish with upper and lower mouth. The characteristic of eating is nibbling. It swims forward while nibbling on the moss on the bottom of the water. When eating bait, the upper lip often encounters the bait first, causing an unreal signal. Of course, lifting the rod is an empty gun. .
So nowadays when fishing for yellow tail, one basically fishes very bluntly, at least ensuring that the double baits are completely lying on the bottom and the twin lines are in a relaxed state. How can the baits have a good passage without being too filtered? Lots of false signals. If you use the lead pendant lying on the bottom to adjust the drift, pay attention to the sub-line 10cm. If it is too long, it will affect the signal transmission. The standard floating phase of the yellow tail is to start first and then move down. When moving down, the rate of fish caught in the rod is highest.
I remember that I mentioned the principle of floating phase before. If the fish raises its head, top floating will occur. If the fish continues to bury its head in eating, it will pause. The characteristic of yellow tail eating is to continue to "gnaw" forward. "Eat", so it is more suitable to grab a bite.
