Fishing always gives unexpected surprises and challenges. But what do you do when your rod sits quietly at the water's edge and no fish catch the bait? Some people choose to be patient, while others try various methods to attract fish.
But how can you improve the efficiency of fishing in the case of scarce resources? This article will take you through how anglers can enrich their catches through wisdom and experience under adverse conditions.
In this fast-paced world, fishing seems like a luxury for recreation, requiring not only time and patience, but also a little luck. But for true fishing enthusiasts, luck is by no means the only thing to rely on.
When fishing in the wild, there is a great deal of uncertainty about the number and activity of fish, especially during the season when the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is not uncommon for fish to go without bait for a long time. The wisdom of the angler lies in how to adapt to all this, not try to change it.
In the face of poor resources, time is of the essence. In seasons like mid-spring, fish swim in large numbers to the shallows, and even if you don't nest, you may encounter a school of fish.
The first strategy is to give the nest enough "nest time". To put it simply, put some bait in advance at your intended fishing spot to allow the fish to gather slowly.
In the case of poor resources, you may need longer to attract scarce schools of fish. This process requires patience as it is not something that can be seen in a short period of time.
Experienced anglers usually choose to work on a spot where the fish is hidden. They know that even the most tempting bait is in vain if no fish pass by.
So, based on years of observation and experience, they choose the routes that the fish are likely to take, which greatly increases the chances of success.
Anglers also change their fishing methods depending on the season. In autumn, when the water temperature drops and the fish metabolize slowly, it may be more effective to use float fishing, while in winter, ice fishing becomes the best option.
Sometimes, even with all the preparation and strategy, the fish still doesn't take the bait. Some anglers will choose to change the bait, because different fish have different bait preferences, and maybe changing the bait can open up the situation.
Of course, changing bait is not as simple as changing it casually, and there is a complex science behind it. For example, the sensitivity of fish to color, some fish prefer bright baits, while others prefer dark colors. Another example is the taste of bait, some fish are particularly interested in specific smells. These require anglers to have an in-depth understanding of the habits of different fish species.
