For people who like fishing, they are either fishing or studying how to fish, the purpose is to catch more and bigger fish, but due to the influence of external factors, most anglers are often difficult to do so, for this reason, some people began to use "crooked brains".
This part of the "crooked brain" anglers, they will use specially treated loaches to make nests, and then use this loach as bait to fish, this kind of anglers are also known as "loach party", they catch even more than net fishing in a day, which has a fatal blow to our freshwater ecology.
However, for the "loach party", many people think that it is just a big fuss, because in their opinion, loaches belong to one of the freshwater fish, and they are one of the foods of other predatory fish.
Here I think it is necessary to explain in detail that these so-called "loach parties", they will use alcohol, illegal drugs, etc. to soak the loaches, and then use them to make a nest when the loaches are muddy.
Using this way to fish, you can catch dozens of catties a day in a place where there are resources, and even hundreds of catties can be caught in a powerful way, which is no longer in the category of recreational fishing, and even more fish than some fishermen catch in a day.
The "Loach Party" did not appear in recent years, but appeared in various places many years ago.
Between August 2017 and January 2018, more than 100 "loach incidents" were found in the Heilongtan Reservoir in Meishan City, Sichuan Province, with the largest one catching hundreds of catties of billfish in less than 10 hours, and a total of 18 people were permanently banned from fishing in Heilongtan after the incident.
In early March 2022, 3 anglers from Hubei were fishing illegally in the Danjiangkou reservoir area of Hubei, and after being caught by the police, a large number of loaches and billfish were found at the scene.
From the above cases, we can find that these "loach parties" are very good at fishing, and can quickly catch the target fish every time.
As long as you observe it, you can find that the main fish caught by these "loache parties" are billfish, followed by mandarin fish, this is because billfish like to swim in the water to feed, when these treated loaches enter the water, and show a state of injury and death, this is a fatal temptation for billfish, which is also the main reason for the quick catch of a large number of fish.
And these "loach parties" also have a characteristic, that is, "big and small killing".
If you have bought loaches, you should know that the current loaches are not cheap, generally more than 20 pounds, plus the loaches they use also have requirements for the size of the body, so the price of buying loaches will be higher, and you need to buy dozens of catties at one time, plus potions, etc., the cost of using loaches to fish is much higher than the bait we usually use.
In order to "return to the capital" and make profits as much as possible, as long as the fish that are caught, no matter how big or small, they will all be carried, and the "loach party" has caused serious damage to the freshwater ecology, and the behavior of "killing big and small" is even worse!
On March 29, 2021, at a press conference of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, there was a new definition of "recreational fishing" in response to the phenomenon of "fishing suspected of disguised productive fishing" in the Yangtze River basin.
At the same time, many "loach parties" also understand in their hearts that it is illegal for them to fish like this, but why do they still do this?
The main reason behind it is inseparable from interests, because wild billfish has a higher selling price in China, taking Xiaobian here as an example, wild billfish weighing more than 3 catties can generally be sold for about 200 yuan / catty, just imagine, how much economic return will be obtained by catching 50 catties of billfish a day?
Dear friends, about being able to fish a few hundred catties a day and empty an artificial lake a week, is the "Loach Party" really so powerful? What do you think about the leave?
Is there a "loach party" around you?
