Mud carp is widely distributed in the Pearl River system, and can be said to be the most common fish in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces except tilapia. Many anglers especially love to catch mud carp, for no other reason, but because the pull is particularly large! The pull of a one-pound wild mud carp is completely comparable to that of a three-pound wild grass carp!

Fishing for mud carp
But fishing for mud carp is not the same as catching other fish, if you don't have fishing habits, it is really not easy to catch, although he has great strength, but his mouth is particularly small! In addition to the large-sized wheat carp and thai carp, the other two can be said to be small hooks and thin lines, especially hooks, sometimes just a little bigger, then the probability of you catching fish is greatly reduced.
There are four common types of mud carp: Tailing, Wheat Carp, Earth Carp, Andyros, of which the largest is the Thai carp, the strongest is the Mud Carp, and the best fish is the Wheat Carp and the Stone Carp. Their eating habits are not much different from the bait we fish for, basically one kind of bait can catch one of the other three can be caught, of course, their actual taste is still different from the fishy, wheat carp is sour, thai carp is sweet.
This is wheat carp
Before sharing the tips for fishing for mud carp, it is necessary to share the experience of fishing for mud carp in the previous days. At first, it was planned to go fishing for wheat carp, so the prepared line set and hook were slightly larger (5 Isenay, 0.4PE plus 3.0 main line, because there is wheat carp 3-5 pounds, that is, the other day to share the video there.
Later, because the place where the wheat carp was fished could not be caught, it was changed to go fishing for the mud carp, which was also the first time to go. So after getting off the pole, I only saw the floating action, and it felt like it was the eating mouth of the mud carp, but it was not on the right mouth, and it hung up a few lines, about two or three or so. There is no way to find a fishing friend next to borrow a small hook thin line, the effect after changing the line is immediate, several times double flying!

Equipment selection for spring mud carp
Fishing mud carp rod; if the individual is relatively small, then use a hard rod to fly directly, if the individual is more than two pounds, then it is best to use a soft rod of two or eight tones, so that the fish will not run and reduce the probability of tangents, after all, the sub-line can not be used too thick.
Fishing for mud carp hooks; sea hooks and trumpet is recommended, these two kinds of hooks have shorter hook handles and are easier for mud carp to suck in. I have used the new Kanto, the sleeve hook, the Isena, the Izu fishing for mud carp many times to make comparisons, and it is true that the Ishines have an advantage. Even if the hook is a little bigger for the current individual, as long as it is a little longer, it will still eat a dead mouth, but Izu is different, and if it is one size bigger, you will only see the mouth instead of the fish. Of course, if you are used to using the stopper, then there is no problem with the new Kanto, but do not use the sleeve hook, the mud carp is very strong and easy to straighten.
As for the size of the hook, it is also according to the individual, and there is always a clear mud carp mouth without the fish to change the small hook. Generally speaking, the No. 2 Ishine under half a kilogram can be used, the No. 3 of more than half a kilogram, and the mud carp with more than two kilograms must use No. 5. Generally speaking, the largest number of mud carp in wild fishing is enough for 5-6, and the size of 3 can also be fished for one or two pounds of mud carp, which is a more common size for fishing mud carp, and can be used with an open rod.
Fishing carp line group collocation: this really depends on the individual, in general, the main line is thicker and has no impact, but the sub-line must be thinner. The recommended sub-line of 0.8 for less than half a kilogram, the recommended 1.0 sub-line for less than one kilogram, and the wheat carp with more than two kilograms should be at least 2.0. It is best to use PE sub-line, because it is soft enough and the pull is strong, generally speaking, PE wild fishing 0.4 is enough to cope with most situations, individual small can be used to 0.2, large individual wheat carp and Thai carp can be used to 0.8-1.0.
Fishing for mud carp floating; if it is Meizhou fishing method does not matter, seven star drift is very good to fish, but if you are the spirit to catch that small mouth is best to use long feet, jujube cores, long body float, this floating reaction is sensitive, turn over is not fast, but just can use the time to turn over to increase the atomization of the fish.
Wheat carp is the most cultured
The method of blending and drifting of mud carp fishing
If you do not have a good grasp of the catch, then you can use the Meizhou fishing method, which is what we often call hookless water fishing, if the small fish is too noisy and too broken, you can also use the big running lead. The length of the subline is about 6-8CM after folding in half, not too long, too long will delay the signal. Generally speaking, as long as the density of mud carp in the nest is not low, the Meizhou fishing method can achieve a good harvest. This fishing method can also avoid small fish, let the bait quickly sink to the bottom, do not have to consider the catch, directly wait for the dead mouth (black drift, translation, large top drift), as long as these several drifts appear, the probability is that there are fish.
You can also use the tune four fishing two or six fishing two of table fishing, this method of blending is more sensitive, and the mouth of the mud carp and the yellow tail are more similar, so pay attention to let go of the small fragments, catch a relatively calm small mouth (really small, but very stable). If you adjust the spirit, you can't use the PE sub-line, so the exit will be less clear, resulting in difficulty in grasping the mouth, nylon line is the best choice, you can also try to use the flying line, a compromise method (I personally do not like the flying line, rarely used).
Fishing for mud carp is suitable for Meizhou fishing method
Bait for spring fishing for mud carp
In nature, mud carp nibble on moss on stones for a living, and have evolved a "heavenly" type of fish mouth, which cannot be opened too much, but the lips are narrow and relatively hard. Its diet is more heterogeneous, basically as long as it is atomized bait it eats, so anglers often catch mud carp when fishing for silver carp (the bottom of the fishing for silver carp will hang). Different mud carp partial mouth is slightly different, as far as I am concerned, I have fished many mud carp in different waters, and the phenomenon of different types of mud carp partial mouth is basically the same:
Soil carp is partial to the mouth; a little bit of meat, and has caught a lot of mud carp with the frozen material of tilapia on many occasions. Generally speaking, you can add a little more redtail green to the bait. There are also many mature mud carp bait on the market, and the carp and ink soul carp that have been used by themselves are better, and the earth carp is second to the incense or fishy.
Wheat carp is partial to the mouth; it likes a little sweet and sour bait, the easiest fishing when fishing for silver carp is wheat carp, fishing for mud carp bait can generally be fished for wheat carp, adding seaweed powder bait effect is the best. Wheat carp is large, but the meat is very old, especially unpalatable, after eating once, basically do not want to eat next time.
Thai carp is partial to the mouth; there are not many natural waters in the country, and its flesh quality is worse than that of wheat carp, so the average angler does not like to fish. Generally, you can fish for wheat carp with carp bait, or add some sugar to the broad-spectrum mud carp bait.
The stone carp is partial to the mouth; there is nothing partial, it eats all the bait, and it eats fiercely! Several carp were once caught with the Isenay hook No. 7. Probably because it is too gluttonous, so there are generally not many rock carp in natural waters, and there are at most three or five fishing.
Mud carp baits have one thing in common: the atomization should be good and very soft. When opening the bait, the water ratio can be about 1:1.1, anyway, when the bait is thrown out, it is not to use the throw, but to use the swing. The softer the bait, the more the mud carp loves to eat, and the easier it is to let it eat dead, because of the habit problem, they eat hard bait and scrape like scavengers, so the bait will not die for half a day.
It is better to rub the mud carp a little smaller, just wrap the hook in this state is the best, it is best to pinch the bait slightly flat. The pinched bait will only lie flat at the bottom when it reaches the bottom, and then the mouth of the mud carp is narrow and long, which is convenient for it to suck in, and it is easier to make a small mouth.
Fishy bait no problem catching mud carp
Nest material for spring fishing for mud carp
There are many mature commodities such as mud carp nest material, the price is not very expensive, and the effect is also uneven. No matter what kind of mud carp we can use peanuts or rapeseed cake to nest, if you can't find these two things then choose chicken feed. The first time you go to the fishing point, hit a pound or two, and then make up the nest every hour or two, about half a pound each time, and the specific interval time and amount should be based on the rhythm of your fishing. If there are too many small fish, then there will be more nests, and the nests will be more diligent.
If you fish for wheat carp, the hair nest effect of rapeseed cake is better, and the effect of peanut dry hair nest is better if you fish for mud carp. Brother Kasa himself bought different kinds of mud carp nest material back to study, found that most of the raw materials are peanut dry, there may be some other additions, but this is not important. Just remember to go to somewhere to buy peanut cakes or canola cakes.
Fishing position selection for mud carp in spring
There are mud carp in almost all the waters, and it swims very fast, and it can move from one place to another in a short time. In general, places with a lot of stones, places with long sun exposure, dams, piers and other hard bottom places are more concentrated mud carp.
If there is none of the terrain above, then choose the two sides of the extended birch tip, preferably the sunny side. The places mentioned above can basically be encountered, and the places with loess sand bottoms will generally be encountered.
The position of the mud carp is also important
Spring fishing mud carp fishing timing
These kinds of mud carp can be said to have a less obvious impact on weather changes, but when it is too hot, the mud carp does not like to eat. Generally speaking, as long as it is a changing weather, the mouth of the carp is good, such as: rain, after rain, cloudy days and so on. But the second and third day after the cooling is difficult to catch mud carp.
The best time to go fishing is at night, when mud carp are alert and will forage on a large scale at night. In addition, the small fish nest at night is not so strong, and the small tilapia is not so active at night, so as far as I am concerned, I generally choose to fish for mud carp at night.
From 5:00 to 9:00 a.m. is also a very good mud carp fishing period, in general, the morning wheat carp is more active, and the afternoon to the evening is more active. Of course, there is no absolute, mainly depending on the local fish situation and the density of mud carp. If the density is sufficient, you can fish almost all day.
