Bonefish and heavy lip fish are one of the few ideal target fish in spring, and it can be said that they are easier to catch in spring only throughout the year. This is because they have the habit of foraging against the current in the spring and going up rocky streams. These two kinds of fish have strong pulling power, beautiful shape, and the taste can be seen from its price: tens or even hundreds of yuan a pound.
There is a big difference between the bonefish and the heavy-lipped fish
In fact, although the two species of fish look similar, one is a subfamily (heavy lip) and the other is a carp family (osteopods). So why put them together to talk about strategies, this is because they have similar habitats, small differences in feeding habits, and similar drifting methods. As long as there are places where both kinds of fish are available, you can most likely catch both at once, but there are not many places where there are two kinds of fish at the same time.
Spring fishing bone fish, heavy lip fish equipment selection
Fishing rods; it depends on what occasion, generally 5.4 is enough, but if it is some shallow place on the shore of The Great Bay you can also use a 6.3 long rod. However, longer rods are not recommended, one is too heavy to consume physical strength, and the other is that there are not many fish in particularly deep places. Wild fishing is recommended for slightly softer rods, which protect the line and walk the fish more.
Fish hooks; if it's pull bait or bait then you can use a smaller hook such as a 3-5 sleeve, if it's a live bait then 3-5 Ishni is also OK. You need to figure out your current fishing situation, whether you need to hook to avoid small fish, whether there are other larger fish and then choose a compromise.
Main line; bonefish can grow up to three or four pounds (wild fishing is generally a few two to one or two pounds of the sky), but heavy lip fish can grow to seven or eight pounds (wild fishing is generally up to two or three pounds, a pound or so is very common), so generally we use the No. 2 main line is enough, the individual is not large where you can use 1.2-1.5, considering the uncertainty of wild fishing, generally recommend the No. 2-3 main line.
Sub-line; a little softer than the main line is slightly smaller on the line, generally recommended to use 0.4-0.6 PE sub-line, because fishing for these two kinds of fish requires bait to lie bottom PE, nylon line are good choices.
Floating; it is recommended to use the fine-tailed jujube core float, and other floats that are resistant to water are also OK, because the fishing points of these two fish are mostly in places where there is running water.
The cable group should not be too large
Spring fishing for bonefish, heavy lip fish bait and nest material
Heavy-lipped fish eat like carp, and bonefish eat crucian carp, but most of the fishy versions of the comprehensive bait can catch them, such as our common old three. You can also use live bait: earthworms, red worms, live maggots, crickets, screw meat, river mussel meat, etc., you need to pay attention to: the bait is best colored and dynamic, because their eyesight is not bad (some people say that fish can't see color, in fact, even black and white photos we can feel the color is different, let alone fish?). ）。
As for the nest material, we can use some scraps or feed to nest, and at present, no particularly effective nest material has been found, but the effect is much worse if the nest is made with wine and rice. You can also use a mashed red worm, earthworm mixed feed (or rapeseed cake flour), which is slightly better, and you can also use live maggots mixed with corn flour to make a ball and make a nesting effect.
If you make your own bait, you can choose to use earthworms, choose about 200g of live earthworms to beat into a juice, and then use the state powder (brushed powder, snowflake powder, light bran) to adjust to your favorite state, and then add a spoonful of chicken essence, two spoonfuls of sugar. If you don't like the nest, you can also use this bait to make a nest, but the bait for the nest should be made dry with a little duck feed.
Fishing for heavy lip fish nests is simple
Spring fishing bone fish, heavy lip fish blending drift
Both species of fish are "lower-mouthed fish", meaning that their mouths are facing downwards, which means that our bait must lie down. So we can't adjust too sensitively, once the bait is off the bottom it is less convenient to eat. According to different fishing points, three drifting methods are generally recommended:
Without hooks to level the water fishing two eyes; is the standard wild fishing drifting method, lead skin bottom (drift tail fine may be reclining bottom), has a certain ability to resist water, both baits are lying at the bottom.
Fishing with hooks can be used in the water; where the water is not taken, you can use this drifting method, a bait lies at the bottom of a bait to the bottom, the sub-line may be straight or may be a little curved, which mainly depends on the weight of the hook and the amount of lead eaten by the drifting tail.
Double lead slide; this method of adjusting the drift is aimed at the fishing point (or torrent) of the flowing water, with the hook on the lead to adjust 4-6 mesh, and then add a lead skin that can slide below, the specific size depends on the speed of the water flow, generally speaking, and the lead is as large as the line.
Lower-mouthed fish are best blunted
Choose the fishing position for spring fishing bonefish and heavy lip fish
This is the focus, because unlike other fish, these two fish do not go anywhere, and they prefer to go where the water is flowing and clearer, and in the summer they will retreat to a deeper place. In general, wild fishing these two types of fish you can choose from the following fishing spots:
The confluence of the river; it is the place where the two rivers meet, you can also understand it as the inlet, in the spring this kind of place is generally "clear and clear", and the fishing effect is good in the place between the yellow water and the clear water.
Ship terminals; it loves to breed places, and according to the catch of brothers themselves and his anglers over the years, this kind of place is easier to produce this kind of fish.
Flowing rivers; where there are pebbles under the water in the spring is their favorite place to stay, and skilled people can even touch the bone fish with their bare hands in the spring, which is why the Luya people like these two kinds of fish in the small river Luya in the spring. You'd better find a river backwater bay, and if the current is too fast, fish blindly with heavy lead.
As long as the water quality is clear in the reservoir, even if there are bonefish in the place where there are many pebbles, it is convenient to make nests, in fact, the places in the flowing waters are indeed not easy to make nests, unless rapeseed cake is used.
In fact, there are not many places to produce these two kinds of fish, the vast majority of the catch is from natural rivers, as long as you have these two kinds of fish in the local area, find a relatively clear river to fish. It is worth noting that the lower mouth fish are basically not very fond of places where the mud is too thick, you need to avoid such a place, and the adjustment of these two fish is not suitable for the old mud bottom.
Do you have any of these two species of fish in your area? It would be a shame not to have them, especially if you missed them. Finally, may all the fishing friends of the great carp enjoy the pleasure of explosion protection in the world given by the Creator! I am a fishing brother, a fisherman who loves to fish and shares, and I look forward to you who like to fish.
