There are fish in the south, with long beards and black backs, small eyes and large mouths, wide heads and sharp teeth, and fat and scaleless flesh. Many people confuse the scaleless and prickly fish such as large catfish, bearded fish, and white catfish with silly distinctions. Today we will learn about the catfish and see how to successfully shore the catfish.

On summer nights, shore raft catfish
On summer nights, with a cool breeze, it is a pleasant thing to make a shore raft, and it is even more fun to have one or two large catfish on the raft. Below I summarize the experience of the shore raft catfish as follows:
"Knowing the other" - familiar with the characteristics and habits of the large catfish is the basis for successful shore rafting
"Confidant" - Learn about the equipment of the shore raft catfish
Master the skills of the shore raft catfish in order to "never lose a battle"
"Know thyself and know the other, never lose a battle", master the following details, you can also open the door to the success of the shore raft catfish.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > understand the characteristics and habits of large catfish</h1>
Large-mouth catfish, also known as six-whiskered catfish, large river catfish, etc., a large individual fish, common is three or five pounds, the large one has dozens of pounds or even hundreds of pounds. Carnivorous fish species, sharp teeth, fishy, staple fish, shrimp and creatures that inhabit the water. It likes warmth, and is most suitable for growing in water temperatures of about 25 degrees, so eating fiercely at this time. Not oxygen tolerant and needs to survive under oxygen-rich water. Afraid of light, it basically inhabits the bottom of the water during the day, and comes out to move and forage for food at night or on dark rainy days. Bottom fish, no jumping, no drilling, easy to catch.

What is a shore raft?
Shore raft belongs to the category of throwing rods, is a kind of raft fishing, initially used in the reservoir, and then extended by the majority of anglers to the river, shore rafts can use rock rods or sea rods, two or three people (when the mouth is good, too many poles are too busy to come), throw into the river, sit and wait for the fish (there are hedonic even the recliners to the river), very clean, convenient, comfortable a way of fishing.
What is the equipment of the shore raft?
Poles and fishing wheels: Poles, unlike the short poles on the raft, the poles of the shore raft need to be longer, 1.8 to 2.1 meters is better, I myself use a 2.1 meters of sea poles, so take it as an example below. The sea pole, also known as the throwing rod, the rod is also used as a float, and there are fishing wheels on the handle. Shore raft large-mouth catfish, the rod body and rod need to be slightly harder (shore raft crucian carp, yellow spicy ding and other small individual fish, the rod is slightly softer and more sensitive). Fishing wheels, you can use spinning wheels or water drop wheels, novices recommend spinning wheels, simple operation, not easy to fry the line.
Spinning wheels
Line group and fish hook: the main line, the choice of PE line, good wear resistance, strong, small wind resistance, can be thrown farther, within 10 pounds of fish can be used 3, 4 PE line, more than 10 pounds of increased number. Sub-line, you can use pe line one smaller than the main line, more than no. 3 carbon line, or directly with steel wire (through the past several times of fish running experience told me that the large-mouth catfish teeth are too sharp, after the fish often bite the line to run fish, with steel wire is more guaranteed). String hooks, with Ishini No. 6 ~ 8 (personal preference, you can also use other brands of large hooks), 3 ~ 5 is better, more easy to wind, fishing tackle shops are generally 5 hooks.
Gadgets: lead pendant, 20 ~ 40 grams can be, this has no fixed requirements, but to ensure that the line into the water can pull the line to sink the bottom, personal habits with 40 grams of lead pendant. Connecting clasps, linking main and sub-wires for easy installation and removal. Ground insertion, find a strong place to insert the ground, fix the pole, prevent the big fish from dragging the fishing rod. Bell dang, the signal of the fish, some anglers like to clip at the top of the pole, think that this is more sensitive, I personally used to clip back slightly, in case it fell into the water, the sensitivity has little impact.

How to choose the timing and fishing position?
According to the habits of largemouth catfish like to be warm and afraid of light, summer nights are the best time to fish, dark rainy days can also be fished, if you really want to fish in the clear day, then you have to choose a place with strong shading water and grass. Based on the oxygen intolerance of catfish, we chose water surfaces with tumbling and swirling currents for fishing, as such water surfaces bring oxygen to the bottom. There are many reasons for such a water surface, such as uneven river bottoms and even ravines, rocks, branches and other obstacles. Here mainly introduces a kind of rod fishing position method, unhooked pole (the main line directly hangs lead drop), thrown out, to the recovery line, if the rod is slightly flat, to prove that the bottom of the water is flat, this place is not recommended for fishing, if the rod has a slightly bent bow, a little force can be recovered, to prove that the underwater uneven or there are small obstacles, this place can be fished, but the target fish may not be large, if the rod is slightly larger bent bow, to force to close the line, to prove that there is a large gully or obstacle under the water, this is the best fishing position for fishing.
How to use bait, how to throw the rod?
Bait: According to the habit of large-mouth catfish like to eat fishy meat, you can use chicken intestines, pig liver and other animal offal with a fishy taste as bait, I myself use universal bait - earthworms, choose the kind of blue and black big head, under the rotten straw, dig a lot in the loose soil, the hook is very simple, the earthworm is cut into about 4 cm or so of small pieces directly strung together.
Throwing rods must pay attention to safety
Throwing rod: There are three ways to throw the rod: swinging, side throwing, and over-top throwing. Swing throwing, the pole is placed in front of the body, using the arm force to swing out, the throwing distance is close, and the shore raft catfish is not recommended to use this throwing method. Side throw, the pole is placed on the side of the body, thrown out horizontally, farther than swing throw, suitable for novice operation. Over the top throw, the old hand's usual throwing method, that is, the pole is lifted over the head to throw out, throwing the farthest. Over-the-top throwing is the best throwing method for shore raft catfish, with a certain risk factor, and novices pay attention to safety when operating.
What are the precautions for catching mouths, slipping fish, and copying fish?
Large-mouth catfish to the mouth is very obvious, the bell rings, the fishing line is straight, the rod is slightly forced downward pressure (sometimes the phenomenon of the rod is slightly chaotic, this is the performance of the fish eating bait, at this time the rod can not be in the fish), then the rod in the fish, when lifting the rod remember to first raise the rod to stab the fish, this step operation should not be too large and too strong, otherwise it is self-defeating but running fish. After the stinging fish, the fish is likely to slam forward, this time begin to slip the fish, slightly upward force rod slightly, slowly put the line, the rod slightly with the fish string to maintain the same angle, the fish string loose line, the fish does not shake the wheel to close the line. Fishing big fish heart must not be in a hurry, so repeated several times, wait for the fish strength is small and then shake the wheel to close the line, then copy the net into the water (it is best to slip the fish to the extent of turning the belly), grasp the direction to the nearby of the net, wait for the opportunity to copy the fish, copy the fish must be copied from the head.
Final conclusion
No matter what fish you catch, fully understanding the characteristics and habits of the target fish is the foundation, preparing fishing equipment is the prerequisite, and mastering the fishing technique is the key. Fishing is a recreational activity, we must pay attention to safety, no matter how much fish are caught, fishing is happy. I wish you all big carp and big carp, and fish every year! Thanks for the support and attention!
