1, Catfish Fishing Point Selection
Cracks in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, pits and ponds, rock piles, deep pits, earth holes or caves at the bottom of tree roots, and slow-moving waters.
2. Time to catch catfish
Because catfish often hide in grass, rocks or deep water during the day, they often feed at night, so they should choose to fish at night. Catfish start to move in spring, and feed most vigorously in summer. After autumn, they overwinter in deep water or mud, and their feeding degree is also weakened. Don't eat after winter, stay in deep water or caves for the winter, and generally don't swim if there is nothing to invade.
3. Catfish fishing line combination
Because catfish like to swim on the shore, the fishing rod for catfish should be short rather than long. It is best to choose a high-strength short pole of 2.7-3.6 meters. You should choose a hook with high strength and large specifications, because catfish has big cracks, and the hook is easy to fall off when it is small. Catfish is fierce, and the hook with low strength is also easy to be broken by it. Catfish often swallow bait into their mouths, and the fishing line just gets stuck in the two rows of sharp teeth at the front end of the mouth. Catfish will struggle desperately when lifting the pole, so the strength of the fishing line is quite high. Generally, 3-5 8-series PE wires are more suitable. Catfish fishing is mostly carried out in running water. In order to prevent the bait from being washed away, use a larger lead pendant of 10-20g.
4. Catfish bait
*** 1*** Catfish for chicken liver bait
The chicken liver we choose should be fresh enough. Chicken liver has a special fishy smell, which spreads quickly in water and can quickly lure catfish to fishing spots. Chicken liver is generally cut into pieces of about 1 cubic centimeter. Of course, you can fish without shaping, and the effect is also very good.
***2***, loach catches catfish.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is also a favorite bait for catfish, preferably alive. Hooking loach is still in the place where catfish often haunt, and most of the time there will be good gains.
***3***, worms catch catfish.
Earthworms are also one of catfish's favorite baits, but you must choose a slightly larger earthworm because catfish's eyesight is weak. It is also necessary to ensure that earthworms are alive underwater, so that it is easier to attract the attention of catfish and harvest good catches.
***4***, Luya catfish bait
When choosing the combination of hook and bait, the soft worm lead hook is the best, and the bullet lead Dezhou fishing group is the best in underwater fishing with many obstacles. 7 grams of lead is commonly used for lead hooks or bullets. Soft worms use curly-tailed maggots. This kind of bait has a big, curved tail, which can keep spinning and disturbing after entering the water, like a small creature. Coupled with the lead hook, the whole hook bait can sink to the bottom smoothly and reach the swimming layer of the fish easily and accurately.
5, fishing catfish nest
Catfish fishing can choose animal viscera, such as chicken liver, pig liver, chicken and duck intestines. And mash a small part, which is more conducive to the spread of fishy smell underwater and attract more catfish. Tie the nest material with a rope and throw it into the fishing point to make a movable nest. * * * can be moved at any time.
6. Fishing methods
Generally, multiple rods are used, and multiple fishing rods are used in the selected fishing position, and a hand rod is inserted on the shore every 10 meter. Generally, the direction of lowering the hook should be the downward direction of the running water, and then the fishing line should be straightened with the upward water flow. Catfish swim upstream and pull the line down after biting the hook. The bigger the fish, the smoother the feeling of dragging. In this way, you can check the cutting rod every half an hour or so and take out the hooked catfish during the tour. According to the habit of catfish, the effect of cutting rod at night is good.
