Fishing for channel catfish is very critical to choose a good fishing position, such as choosing to fish in the place where there is no fish to hide and feed, no matter how fine bait you are, no matter how good the fishing skills will not help. The principle of choosing a fishing spot is based on the life characteristics of yellow catfish, choosing waters with yellow mud slopes, bumps, steep rocks, deep and shallow intersections, and large curves in the reservoir. The second is to choose the fishing position with the change of season should be slightly different. Every year after the early spring, before the Qingming Festival, you can look for sunny, steeper slopes, rocks and debris under the water, and the water depth of 1.8-3.0M is not too hooked place. After the Qingming Festival, with the rising temperature, you should choose the shallow beach and the combination of shallow and deep, the slope is more gentle location, the depth of water at about 1.2-1.5M to hook. Early summer, fall, cloudy days fishing shallow, midsummer, sunny days fishing deep water can also be learned.

2. Fishing tackle

(1) Fishing rod: Although yellow catfish are small and medium-sized fish, they are full of energy when they are hooked. The rod is too hard to break

line and run away from the fish, the rod is soft and can not be hooked into the fish in a timely manner into the protection. The first thing you need to do is to take into account the tuning of the rod and the size of the fish before deciding on a fishing rod. Usually, when I fish for yellow catfish under 150 grams, I usually use a three-seven tuning, and when I fish for more than 200 grams, I use a two-eight tuning rod, which should be more suitable. The length of the fishing rod should be appropriate. Yellow catfish are light on bait and have no obvious signals, so too long a rod will cause the rod to be too late, resulting in a lot of missed signals and a lower hooking rate. A twelve-footer for shallow water and a fifteen-footer for deeper water will suffice.

(2) fishing line: the main line should be a better quality of the special "Road system" line, according to the fish configuration 0.5 to 0.8, the sub-line is also appropriate to use the strong knots, there is a certain degree of scalability of the high-quality line to 0.3 to 0.6, the main length of 12-18 centimeters. The length is 12-18 centimeters. Then you can change the line depending on the water temperature and the size of the fish's struggling force. As long as the main and daughter line can withstand the pull of the fish, fewer running fish phenomenon can be.

(3) Hooks: Because the yellow catfish has a small mouth, its mouth is long and short, and it eats lightly (scraping at the angular edge of the lower jaw).
