Introduction to sea catfish:

Sea catfish is also called fat-headed fish. It belongs to the perciform category and is an omnivorous fish that grows in small and medium-sized warm-temperature bottoms. It is often seen in shallow waters along the coasts of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in my country.

The sea catfish has small scales all over its body, which are deeply buried in the subcutaneous body and are light yellow and black. There are 13 to 18 longitudinal black patches and gray-brown cloud-like spots on the dorsal edge and sides of the body.

The bases of the fins and anal fins are very long and connected to the caudal fin. The dorsal fin is particularly long, starting from the edge of the gill cover to the tail end; the pectoral fins are wide and round; the pelvic fins are very small. Throat position; caudal fin pointed, unforked, dorsal fin with a black spot from the 4th to 7th ray.

Inhabits the bottom of tropical and subtropical coastal waters and feeds mainly on invertebrates and small fish. Distributed in the North Pacific, my country's Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea and northern East China Sea produce more.

Extended information:

The living habits and swimming patterns of sea catfish are completely different from those of freshwater catfish. First, they eat food day and night, secondly, they are not afraid of strong light, and thirdly, they eat food during the day. The hotter it is, the more active you are in eating.

Those living in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Beibu Gulf are particularly typical. The fourth is swimming in the upper, middle, lower and bottom swimming layers in search of food. These four points are obviously different from freshwater catfish, so it can be fished day and night, and fish can be caught in all water layers.

Sea catfish feed mainly on rockworms, sandworms, redworms, mudworms and small fish and shrimps. Due to this food habit, the commonly used artificial baits for fishing sea catfish are insect-type soft bait, shrimp-type soft bait, fish-type soft bait or hard bait.

Among them, it is better to use 3-4 simple and efficient soft insect baits to form a string hook fishing group for fishing. The advantage of string hook fishing is that it can be fished on the top, middle, bottom and bottom of sea catfish, making it easier to catch sea catfish.
