Grass carp, also known as grass bastards, are common large-sized freshwater fish, and anglers who like to fish for big fish will often use grass carp as a target fish.
Compared to crucian carp, grass carp is more lively, likes to forage in groups, and is typically vegetarian. There are many ways to catch grass carp, but if you want to catch grass carp quickly and accurately, these two fishing methods have to be mentioned.
Before we elaborate on fishing, let's take a closer look at the habits of grass carp
Grass carp prefer to live in water with more aquatic grasses, mainly in the middle and lower layers of the water body. The amount of food is large, and it will generally feed in groups, so when fishing in the wild, after catching one grass carp, you can catch other grass carp one after another.
The temperature that is more suitable for grass carp to survive is 27-30 °, if the water temperature is lower than 20 degrees Celsius, it will lead to a significant decrease in the appetite of grass carp.
The main food sources of grass carp are aquatic weeds and other plant-based baits, such as black algae, grass, duckweed, artificial rice grains, sake lees, rapeseed cakes, etc.
Grass carp grow and develop more quickly, usually spawning at the turn of spring and summer of each year, and in some rivers and lakes, large grass carp weighing several kilograms can be common.
After understanding the life habits of grass carp, let's take a look at what is the simple and fast way to catch grass carp.
Hand rod short line fishing floating
Many anglers often use the hand rod short-line fishing floating method when fishing for grass carp, and in early summer, the temperature rises significantly, and the grass carp will swim on the surface of the water to feed.
In some reed densities, grass carp especially like to pull the reed leaves that hang into the water, at which point we can use the long rod to pass the bait to the edge of the reed and wait for the grass carp to be hooked.
When using the hand rod short line fishing float method, the key skill is to nest the fish, we can look for grass on the shore, tie the stone to the root of the grass, and then use the long rod short line to hang bait to fish.
You can also use bales of grass as nest material, corn and tender grass as bait, and then hang bait on a long rod short line, and pass the bait to 20 cm below the nest, it is easy to catch grass carp.
You can choose to fish in places such as ditch forks, grass, and bends that can hinder the speed of water flow, and these fishing spots can be convenient to fix the bales at the nests and are not easy to be scattered by the flowing water.
In addition, in the choice of the length of the fishing rod, you can choose 8.1-12 meters of fishing rod, the length of the line is about 3-4 meters.
Reverse de-bottom layered fishing
This fishing method is also known as the large hook distance long subline fishing method, mainly in the operation, the spacing distance of the subline is enlarged, no longer 3-5 cm short hook distance, but short 10-20 cm, long 150-200 cm.
In addition, due to the large size of the grass carp, it is best not to use the double hook when fishing for grass carp, because the distance of the double hook is too short to allow the grass carp to bite the hook quickly.
At this time, we can enlarge the distance between the two hooks to 10-150 cm, so that we can achieve the effect of a hook hanging bottom and a hook sinking bottom.
The sub-line can be made into a sub-line with an equal hook spacing of 10, 30/50 cm, so that after being thrown into the water, it can be adjusted according to the fish mouth.
These are all techniques that can effectively improve the rate of fish in the middle, and we can choose grains such as floating, sinking bottom nest or corn kernels when nesting.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the adjustment of the bait
As mentioned above, you can use corn or rice, wheat bran, etc. as bait, because grass carp is vegetarian, so it is very good to choose these as bait.
In addition, the activity of small fish in early summer is also relatively high, so in order to avoid the nest of small fish chasing bait, we can add a few drops of heart-wrenching lure before opening the bait, which can effectively avoid this situation.
The Sweetheart Is a delicate fish-luring medicine that has a strong appeal to most freshwater fish, and even the not-so-hungry big fish will swim wildly here when they smell this fragrance.
And it can also effectively avoid small fish and miscellaneous fish, enhance the effect of fish retention, which adds a DMPT element known as "fish biting stone", which can make grass carp, a big fish with a strong hook and a large pull, can also be stably hooked.
In addition, there are natural hormones extracted from fish in the lures of the heart,000, which are generally not added in common small medicines, so it not only lures fish fast, but also the speed of the nest is much earlier.
Finally, let's talk about the line combination of grass carp fishing
When fishing grass carp to choose a line group, it is necessary to decide according to the individual size of grass carp, choose line 6-8 for 5-10 pounds of grass carp, line 8-12 for 10-20 pounds, and line 15 and above for more than 20 pounds.
In addition, the general grass carp recommends the use of nylon thread, because nylon thread is not only wear-resistant, elastic and tensile is also relatively strong.
