Carp is large and widely distributed, making it a very popular target fish for anglers. Carp is a hardy fish that can be caught all year round. However, as long as it is relatively cold-tolerant, it often has the characteristics of being cold and sensitive to heat, so it is easier to fish carp in mid-late spring, early summer, late autumn and early winter. The choice of fishing position is based on the topography such as ploughshare tip and slope ridge, because the carp has a large feeding range, and the topography of the fish passage is a good choice. In addition, it is characterized by its preference for muddy water, and locations such as water entrances and exits are also the preferred terrain in the hot season. Secondly, you need to pay attention to the bait, because the eating of big fish is like this, and more attention is paid to the flavor type, and the flavor type is easy to catch.
1. Sweet potato bait
Sweet potatoes are sweet, and carp also prefer sweet foods. Moreover, the price of sweet potatoes is relatively low, and it is the first choice for countless anglers to make homemade bait, not only carp like to eat, but also grass carp also like to eat. Sweet potatoes also have a relatively large stickiness, but they will not become dead lumps like flour and brushed powder, so they are often used as bait and binder for bad food. The use of sweet potatoes is very simple, steamed, peeled and pounded into a paste, used with other baits, or add some bran, stir-fried rapeseed cake powder to make rubbing bait, and you can also add some soaked particles to rub the bait. Simpler is to steam the sweet potatoes and cut them into small pieces, dip them in a layer of soybean flour and put them on the rod, which is also very effective for carp.
2. Blood bait
This bait works well in the cold season, and also in spring and autumn when the water temperature is not high. Although it has entered the late spring stage, although the temperature is not low, the water temperature is still relatively cool, and the number of trash fish has not yet risen, this heavier bait can still be used. There are many ways to make blood bait, the simpler thing is to prepare a little bran, add fresh chicken blood and duck blood bought in the market, put it to dry, grind it into powder and use it, and you can rub the bait with something like brushed powder. You can also buy a piece of pig blood from the pork stall and make it according to the above method. The taste of the blood bait should not be too strong, as long as you can smell the taste, the processed blood bait is mainly used as an additive.
3. Popcorn
Popcorn is often used to catch bream, because the bream has a wide body and a mouth facing up, so it will be very difficult to eat the bottom food, so anglers think of fishing 20 cm from the bottom. However, it is more common to be windy and walk in natural waters, and the effect of conventional fishing float fishing is not good, so popcorn is used as bait with heavy lead sinker, so that the hook can be off the bottom. Bream fishing often uses cornflower, and carp fishing uses a strip of popcorn, buy back and open the bag, spring south wind days are more, a few days to become soft, this time is more suitable for use. Just get a little bit and roll it into a small ball hook and you're good to go. There is a similar method of seaweed, which is better to roll into a ball after the return tide, and the effect of fishing carp and grass carp is good.
Fourth, corn kernels
Carp fishing for corn kernels is still very classic, and unlike grass carp fishing, carp fishing is not suitable for using raw young corn. When cooked, there is a smell of grain, which will be better than raw. However, old corn is the favorite of anglers, and the price is lower than that of fresh corn, but the effect is not bad at all. There are two classic bait flavors for carp fishing with old corn, the first is the aroma of wine. It is necessary to soak the old corn until it is soft and cooked, stir with brown sugar and koji wine, seal it for two days and use it. Or add some sweet koji and put it in the jar to ferment for a period of time, and you can use it when it has a wine flavor. The second is stinky corn, which is also more common. The soaked corn kernels can be boiled in brown sugar water, and then fermented for a longer time with the soup bottle. Or a variety of grain scraps, after boiling water blanching, put in the jar to stink, put in the old corn for a period of time can be used.
Finally, it should be noted that carp fishing in late spring does not need to be too deep, and this is the stage when carp foraging is more vigorous. It is more suitable for going out on rainy and cloudy days, and it will be easier to fish if the water rises after the rain. Please pay attention to the collection and like, update on time every day, thank you fishing friends!
