There are two peak seasons for wild fishing every year, the first is late spring and early summer, and the second is mid to late autumn, which belongs to the water temperature from the perspective of water temperature. The late spring and early summer stages are around the breeding period for large fish, and they eat a lot and are often in shallow water. The mid-to-late autumn stage is the stage when large fish forage in large quantities and prepare for winter. Big fish are more edible, and naturally they will be much easier to catch, so bait is very important, and only the right bait will be easy for big fish to go ashore.
1. Sweet potatoes
Sweet potato is a kind of homemade bait often used by anglers, sweet and soft glutinous, is a favorite food of carp, grass carp, bream and herring, and the use of sweet potatoes is extremely diverse. Steamed or roasted sweet potatoes are more viscous, but this stickiness is different from wheat flour and brushed flour, and will not cause the phenomenon of poor bait condition, so sweet potatoes are often pounded into paste and used as a binder for bad food and nest materials. The simplest way to use sweet potatoes is to use them directly, you can cut the steamed sweet potatoes into small pieces and hook them, if it is a string hook fishing method, it is recommended not to fully steam the sweet potatoes, a little hard core will be more suitable for long throwing, which can prevent the bait from falling when throwing.
The most classic way to use sweet potatoes is to steam or roast them and mash them into sweet potato puree with a little other bait. It can be combined with fried soybean flour and fried bran to make it into bait, soybean flour to enhance the fragrance, bran to increase the high fiber of the bait, but also reduce the proportion of the bait, adjust the state of the bait, the bottom fishing effect is still very good. You can also mix it with a little pellet feed, chick feed and the like, soak the feed in warm water, add sweet potato puree and adjust the viscosity, if the water surface is larger, it has a good fishy smell. You can also add a large proportion of sake rice to mashed sweet potatoes, which is good for carp and large crucian carp.
2. Potatoes
Potato is the scientific name of potato, and the usage is also very diverse, unlike sweet potato, the stickiness is not so good, the sweetness is not so great, and the grain flavor will be stronger, because potato can be used as a staple food like rice noodles. Anglers hardly use snowflake pollen, this thing has the effect of absorbing water and reducing the specific gravity, it does not belong to the basic bait or the main bait, it belongs to the state bait. Snowflake powder is actually made from potatoes, which are sliced, steamed, dried, and puffed. Interested anglers can try to make their own, although it is not as easy to use as the finished product, but the effect is also good. The potatoes are shaved into thin slices, steamed in a pot and dried, although they are not puffed, but the effect is still good.
One of the more classic recipes for potato bait is to steam the potatoes, cool them and then rub off the skin of the potatoes and mash them into mashed potatoes. If the mashed potatoes are just mashed, they don't feel sticky, but if you continue to pound them repeatedly, the amylopectin will work and you can pull out a long thread. Add a few leeks and continue to pound, you can use it as bait, mainly used to fish for crucian carp, especially when the temperature gradually rises and trash fish are difficult to fish, it often has a good performance. In general, potatoes can be steamed and mashed, which can be used as a basic bait, and you can add fried bran to adjust the stickiness, and add honey and soybean flour to sweeten things. If the water temperature is relatively cool, you can also add some shrimp powder to enhance the fishy smell.
Another of the biggest characteristics of bait made from potatoes as the main ingredient is that it is white or white with a slight yellowish tinge, which is easier to be found by fish than other colors when fishing deep water or low-light obstacles.
