Turtle can be said to be the target species that every fisherman likes very much. Turtle meat is delicious, rich in collagen and expensive. If you don't like it, unless there is a mine at home.
But if you want to catch turtles, you must know their habits, not just ask when to catch them. The following is about turtle fishing, bait use and turtle fishing time. Let me explain it in detail for you.
First, turtle habits.
First, born timid.
Because the tortoise is a reptile that breathes with its lungs, it swims from the water to the surface every once in a while to get oxygen. At this time, as long as you hear a noise, you will immediately sink into the water.
Second, I like high temperature.
Turtles not only often go to the surface to breathe oxygen, but also have the habit of often going ashore. On the one hand, it lays eggs on the shore, on the other hand, it likes to climb to the shore at noon to bask in the sun. Then why does it like sunbathing? According to the introduction of science, it sterilizes in the sun to prevent turtle shells from getting sick, and ultraviolet sterilization is healthier.
Third, I like bait.
If you like to eat soft-shelled turtle, or go to the market to buy soft-shelled turtle and ask the boss how to catch soft-shelled turtle, they will definitely tell you: pig liver fish. Why pig liver? Because pig liver is extremely fishy.
Second, when to catch turtles?
First, catch turtles at noon.
Turtles feed and grow at temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, they are unlikely to come out for food. In addition, summer and autumn are the best seasons for turtle fishing. If we have to concentrate on a certain point in time, I think we can fish at noon, because it will surface at noon to take oxygen. At this time, if you see a turtle outcrop, you can shoot the turtle with a turtle gun, but this is more technical and needs more practice.
Second, catch turtles at night.
Turtles will go ashore to bask in the sun when the shore is quiet during the day, and often prey on insects and frogs in the water at night. Therefore, you can use the rod-inserting fishing method at night, that is, use a hook or needle specially used for turtle fishing, tie it with a strong horse line (pe line), hang the pig liver, throw it into the water where turtles infest, tie the rod at the other end, insert it on the shore, and collect the rod the next morning.
Third, fishing turtles in rainy days.
According to my own experience, in rainy days, soft-shelled turtles are generally more active in foraging, so both the rod-inserting fishing method and the soft-shelled turtle shooting method can be used.
Third, the turtle's fishing method.
First, the tortoise marksmanship
As mentioned earlier, as long as you see a turtle outcrop in hot weather, you can shoot a turtle with a turtle gun, but you have to go through training.
Second, the fishing rod fishing method
On rainy days, usually at night, a few pairs of hooks or needles are used to tie a strong horse line, then two knuckle-long pig livers are hung and thrown into the water, and the other end is inserted into the shore, so they can be fished up the next morning. In general, this method requires several pairs of hook lines, so that the chances of soft-shelled turtles are great.
Three, cage capture method
In rural areas, the older generation, with ordinary skills, will weave a funnel-shaped fish cage with bamboo, put pig liver or other animal offal in it, tie it with a rope and sink it into the water at night. When the tortoise smells the fishy smell, it will climb into the fish cage to catch it the next morning.
4. What bait is used for turtle fishing?
First, pig liver
Cut pork liver into small strips, hang it with hooks and fish it with hands or sticks.
Second, earthworms.
The fishing method is the same as that of crucian carp, which can be caught by hanging bait normally, with black earthworm as the best and strong smell.
Third, dead frogs, animal offal, etc.
Cut the internal organs of a stinking dead frog or other animals into pieces and hook them with a fishing rod.
Final summary
To catch soft-shelled turtle, you should first choose rainy days or sunny days, noon and night. When you see a turtle outcrop at noon on a sunny day, you can shoot the turtle with a turtle gun, fish with a hand pole on a rainy day and fish with a stick at night. In addition, attention should be paid to the use of bait such as pig liver, and the hook is best made of pe thread, which is not easy to break.
