2. Fishing tackle
As mentioned above, although the red-eyed trout is a small and medium-sized fish, it swims quickly and has a large escape force, so it is more suitable to fish it with a light throwing rod. When fishing with a lightweight throwing rod, it is equipped with a small winding wheel with the same diameter as the hand rod.
The length of the line is 80-100 meters, and the combination of hook and fall can be used to hook or fall off the hook. The method of falling hook can be used to form a string hook, and the method of falling hook can be connected by connecting two single hooks from the balance or a group hook of 6-8 hooks with a connecting device.
Third, the bait
Fishing bait should be mainly meat bait, but in waters where animal bait is not eaten, fishing with vegetarian bait is also quite effective.
Meat bait can be used small shrimp, green shrimp meat, river clam meat, dragonfly larvae and so on.
Vegetarian bait can be steamed or cooked cornmeal, or white flour or rice flour mixed with a small amount of white sugar. Where there are mulberry trees on the shore, the use of mature mulberries as bait is remarkable.
In addition, the red-eyed trout has the ability to "steal", so the hook tip must be sharp.
Fourth, fishing spots
Fishing in rivers, preferably in the slow-flowing waters of the bay, choose the edge of the water plant with ridges at the bottom of the water or near the shore as the fishing spot.
In lakes and reservoirs, it is necessary to choose a place close to the aquatic grass as a fishing spot in the small bay sheltered from the wind.
If there is a mulberry tree on the shore, during the mulberry ripening season, the waters in front of or on both sides of the tree near the shore are the most ideal fishing spots.
Fifth, fishing method
Bottom fishing for red-eyed trout is the same as other omnivorous demersal fish, and bait can be thrown at the fishing spot first. The bait for red-eyed trout is the same as for crucian carp. Fishing bait can be used shrimp meat, river clam meat, aquatic insects, and noodle bait according to its diet.
In flowing waters, fish with a throwing rod. The pendant is slightly heavier, and the combination of hook and fall can be used to fall on the hook or fall off the hook. With the drop hook, you can connect 2-3 hooks; with the drop hook, also use the macaroni pendant to connect the double hook.
With a throwing rod, it is advisable to use a string hook composed of 3-5 hooks. Bait can be used with both meat and vegetables. When fishing, throw the bait hook out, tighten the fishing line after it falls to the bottom, and watch the tip of the rod flutter to know the fish.
