I have fished for catfish many times in the Yellow River, and I feel good after fishing a few times in my hometown! The key is to pay attention to the fishing position and fishing method. I usually fish for catfish in the larger rivers, dikes and weirs, bar dams, bridge abutments near the mouth of the deep water Bay Branch mouth, rocky bottom of the river, are catfish like to live in the place. The places I like to fish are in the steep, deep water of river backwaters, because most of these places have rocky boulders on one side of the riverbanks and gentle weeds on the other side, with lots of rock crevices, rock holes, and dirt holes. The water is deep and leeward, the current is slow, there are more small fish and shrimp, and catfish are easy to catch if they have something to eat.

There are a variety of fishing methods, I usually hand rod and string hook and use. Conditions are good on a few more rods, not dozens of meters on the line, a large screw cap as a lump, one end tied to the bank of the tree and then hang a bell (two beer bottle caps buckle on the inside of the ball or a small stone, a nail nail a hole in the wire tied with the same use). String hooks without nests, large hooks and thick line, fishing bait with earthworms is the best, hooks on more than a few, when hanging from the center through the line, the live effect is good. You can also use chicken liver, pig liver cut strips is also good.

The hand rod depends on the habit of 5 meters 4, 4 meters 5 can be, the main thing is to fish the bottom. You can play the nest, I usually play two nests, a meat and a vegetarian, vegetarian nest in the meat nest diagonal back about 1 meter, meat in the river upstream vegetarian downstream. Meat nest with fresh chicken and duck entrails and intestines, loaded into the stockings (do not support the use of "small three") and then loaded into the mesh pocket, tied to the rope purpose is to hit the deviation can be retrieved to change the fishing point convenient, this is and a Shaanxi old man to learn, the Yellow River is more mud and sand to avoid the nest was buried on the meat nest is to smell not to eat, let the fish eat what fishing. Vegetarian nest is wine rice mixed with chicken feed, wine rice not too much, more than a few times each time the amount of a little less, vegetarian nests will be attracted to the carp and small fish and so on, catfish were lured by the meat nests did not eat, it will run to the vegetarian nests of the fish to come, we have the opportunity to come! Hand rod bait, I usually start with pasta (fishy aroma), found that the small fish did not move, then change earthworms or chicken liver. I feel the effect is good! Bait state don't get too loose atomization can't be too fast, the bait ball slightly larger, the buoy with a larger, try to let the hook quickly to the bottom, the bait ball to the bottom and then expand the atomization, rather let the stray fish in the bottom of the water to make a mess, but also can't let the stray fish to float.

Then again, the choice of time, morning and evening during the day, the two heads are better, and occasionally at noon can also be caught, but very few! Evening is much better than daytime, and the second half of the night is better than the first half. Nights are best when there is no moon. The night before it's going to change weather is also good. Catfishing is also better during the day after consecutive rainy days when the river is surging and the water is cloudier!
