There have always been many anglers who wonder if there are any fish in the Yellow River when the water is so turbid, and how big are the fish?
For this question, if you haven't played wild fishing in the Yellow River, you really can't answer it.
Fishing friends who often play wild fishing in the Yellow River, after a long time, really don't want to go to other places, let alone covet the black pit anymore. The beauty of fishing in the Yellow River is that you never know what fish will be hooked on the next rod.
If you want to say that the fish in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is more exciting, it is undoubtedly the billfish. As a wild fishing enthusiast, I can responsibly tell you that there are not only billfish in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but also "meter-level" billfish.
Fishermen who are familiar with the billfish know that this fish is ferocious and lives in the pelagic part of the water, preying on other fish for a living. They swim quickly, like to wash their gills frantically when they take the bait, and the pull when they flee often makes anglers want to stop.
But this kind of fish is not easy to catch and needs to be guarded.
Because they have a very short foraging window, sometimes more than 20 minutes have passed, and they no longer bite the hook. Moreover, in the Yellow River, it is difficult to deploy the hand rod, and it takes a long-range rod to reach their range of motion. Therefore, to fish for a warped mouth in the Yellow River, you need to cast a rod or lure.
It is also important to find a habitat for billfish and familiarize yourself with their feeding window.
The following billfish was caught by a fisherman at 5 o'clock in the morning in the summer, just after dawn. The fishing spot is located about 1 km east of the Wuhui pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. This angler is a more enthusiastic fishing enthusiast, in order to keep fishing for billfish, he got up early in the morning and caught a billfish with a body length of about 40 cm.
Although it is far from the "meter level", it proves that there are indeed billfish in the Yellow River.
After that, according to this experience, the angler caught several billfish of similar size in the same position. But the legendary "rice-level" billfish has never been encountered.
Until one time, I learned that in the Xingyang and Gongyi sections of Zhengzhou of the Yellow River, there were large billfish. Local anglers often catch 80-90 cm "sub-meter" billfish. It turned out that there was a group of fishing enthusiasts who played lure, and this fishing method had not yet emerged in the northern region at that time, and no one would think of playing lure in the Yellow River.
But the billfish caught with lure lure is indeed large enough.
Some local netizens frequently caught more than 90 centimeters of billfish, using lure bait. Local anglers confirmed that there is a "meter-level" big warped mouth in the Yellow River, and some people have seen "netizens" use a net to pull a warped mouth weighing more than 20 catties.
What's more, the three strengthened hooks of an angler in Xingyang were bent by the "Miqiao" in the Yellow River, which shows how big the billfish in it is.
Seeing this, the hearts of many fishing enthusiasts are estimated to have begun to itch, how to catch this kind of billfish in the Yellow River?
Fishing enthusiasts in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will definitely want to know how to fish this fish. Today we will talk about it.
Fishing in the Yellow River, unlike other natural rivers, is not only based on the weather and terrain, but also on indicators such as water flow and sediment content.
Billfish fishing is definitely a comprehensive discipline with high technical requirements. First, be familiar with the punctuation that billfish like to hide. The billfish of the Yellow River likes the waters with a relatively wide surface and complex underwater topography.
For example, some rocky dam heads and deep ditches hidden at the bottom of the river are good places for billfish to hide. In addition to these factors, there are certain requirements for the depth of the water, and the deeper the water, the greater the probability of catching a large warped mouth.
If you want to find such a fishing spot, you must be hard-working. Sometimes you have to drive dozens of kilometers, and you have to walk for many kilometers with heavy equipment on your back after getting out of the car, so it's not easy to catch a fish.
But the spirit of the angler is never stopping, although the boat is tired, but when I see a "fried water" of the billfish, the body immediately comes to energy, and the fatigue of the whole day quickly disappears.
In addition to this, it is also important to understand the foraging window of the billfish. During the course of a day, the foraging window of the billfish is not long, and when they eat, they will open their mouths en masse, which makes people unprepared. And when everyone was fishing hard, they stopped abruptly and stopped biting the hook.
Normally, early morning and dusk are the two important window periods for billfish foraging, and netizens who like to fish for billfish need to take a good grasp of it to avoid wandering around aimlessly.
If you want to fish for them, you need to make a good plan for the "air force", you need to know the topography and water conditions of the Yellow River, and you need to find out where the fish are.
The current record of the warped mouth caught by anglers in the Xingyang section of Zhengzhou in the Yellow River is 96 cm, which is already considered a "meter level".
Once you like wild fishing in the Yellow River, other places may be a little boring, this is the charm of wild fishing in the Yellow River.
In addition to carp, catfish, yellow catfish, oxtail fish and other fish in the Yellow River, the feeling that billfish brings to anglers is undoubtedly a higher level.
Of course, it is not easy to catch them, and you need to give full play to the spirit of the angler who is not afraid of losing and not afraid of hardship, in order to enjoy the excitement brought by the moment when the billfish is powerful.
