When it comes to fishing for freshwater fish, the fishing friends' favorite fish is the bluefish. In the wild waters, it grows rapidly, and juveniles can reach 3-5 kg in two years. Therefore, the individual bluefish in the general wild fishing waters are larger, basically more than 10 pounds. The joy of catching big fish, the bluefish can be satisfied. Bluefish mainly live in the bottom of the water and are typical omnivorous fish, mainly feeding on snails, river mussels, small fish and shrimp. Bluefish eat a lot of food and are usually larger.
How to catch bluefish?
Fishing for blue fish allows anglers to fully feel the fun of big fish. The meat of the blue fish is delicious, there are no small spines, and it is also popular with diners. Therefore, among all freshwater fish, bluefish are also relatively valuable fish. But the bluefish are difficult to catch, either the bluefish do not bite the hook, or the burst rod cut line to run the fish... It makes the anglers love it. Today, I will share the tips and methods of fishing for bluefish in wild waters.
01 Time to fish
The optimal water temperature for bluefish activities is around 18 to 26 ° C, and it is the best time to fish in the spring when the feeding volume is large. In winter, the bluefish need to overwinter, so they almost stop eating, so it is often difficult for anglers to catch bluefish in winter. In the hot summer, its appetite is not too strong, generally hiding in the shade to cool off, so except for a few deep pools, even the breeding pond is not easy to fish.
After the autumn (August 7-9 of the Gregorian calendar), the water temperature drops, and the desire to feed the bluefish at this time is very strong in order to survive the winter, which is also the best fishing season. Xiaobian friendly tips: every morning 7 to 10 o'clock, 3 to 6 pm is the best time to catch blue fish!
02 Fishing position selection
Bluefish prefer to be quiet and like to have snails on the bottom of the water, so most of the bluefish live in the middle and lower layers of the water. In natural waters, bluefish often inhabit the middle and lower layers of rivers and lakes or in places with complex underwater terrain (rocks, dead trees) with a certain depth. When fishing, we can choose the lower hook of the outer edge of the slower flowing water, the hedge and the curved shore, so that the fishing rate will be larger.
When fishing for bluefish in aquaculture waters such as ponds and small lakes, we should choose the depth of the water or the location where the owner of the pond regularly feeds. In summer and autumn, bluefish often feed in shallow waters, especially in the early morning and evening. Note that the bluefish like to be quiet, so we should fish quietly and not make strange noises to scare the bluefish away.
03 As nest bait
Or commercial bait (referred to as suspension fishing) to add some materials to modulate the bait. For example, when the temperature is low, fish for bluefish with fishy bait, and when the temperature is higher, fish for fish with sweet or original bait. Bait modulation uses granular commercial bait to add grain as much as possible. Large points that can be rubbed, recreational fishing bait can be as sticky as possible.
04 Techniques and methods of fishing for bluefish
(1). Hand rod (refers to a fishing rod without a winding wheel), two-purpose rod (ie: rock fishing rod) floating bottom fishing. Both meat and vegetarian bait are acceptable. When attaching the hook, the entire hook is buried in the bait.
(2). The sea rod is not equipped with floating bottom fishing. Can be used with a group hook or a bait double hook. Group hook fishing is mainly cornmeal and mountain basket, and it is best to use double hooks for field snails. When the bluefish eat the hook, the tip of the rod does not bend suddenly, and the speed is very slow. The speed is slow and difficult to control. Nearly 300 meters, 0.4 mm of wire may be until it is finished, so it is necessary to use a spare rod to connect the wire to walk the fish.
(3). Traditional fishing method. The tackle is a long, hard-tuned rod with a thick hook. The length of the rod is generally not shorter than 6.3 meters, the line is 4 or the diameter of the line is 0.55 mm, the pull force is more than 7 kg, although the hook is not very particular about the model, but the hook bar should be thick, and the hook door should be wide.
Bluefish are swallowing fish that swallow the entire hook bait. Therefore, when it bites the hook, the fish floats steadily and stagnantly, or is slowly dragged into the water, or suddenly straight into the water. The bluefish has great gravity, and when the fish in the rod is raised, the common situation is to swim outward, the force is extremely large, and the tug-of-war between people and fish is formed by the rod line. You can change the position, or the person walks along the fish, or change the direction of the traction, so that the rod is curved in a lateral direction, and it is rotated, otherwise it will run the fish. Keep quiet on the shore to prevent the fish from dying from being frightened.
04 Tips for hanging bait
1. Break the shell of the snail to remove the shell to take the meat, and the hook tip is pierced from its head and the tail end is pierced;
2. Select the screw with a complete shell to pierce from the edge of the back shell, the small hole in the tail is pierced, and the hook tip is slightly exposed.
3: Cut the shelled mussel meat into strips and wear it on the hook.
4, shrimp as bait, the hook from the tail of the shrimp into, the neck out, remove the shrimp head of the spine shrimp whiskers can be used to catch blue fish.
In short, fishing for bluefish in the wild has a certain degree of difficulty, but as long as you master the foraging characteristics and fishing skills of bluefish, it is not difficult to catch. Special reminder, when the bluefish is timid, it must be light, do not easily change the bait, is the magic weapon to catch the bluefish.
The shelled mussel meat is cut into strips and worn on hooks for use.
