The waters of the Bohai Bay, where the Tianjin area is located, are intertidal areas, shallow, muddy and rapid. Except for reclamation levees, port terminals, artificial reefs, etc., almost all of them are quagmire. With the exception of sea bass, small tiger heads, a very small number of blackheads, and black seabream, reef fish are rarely seen. Coupled with the long winters and cool water temperatures, there are almost three and a half months of fish to catch from mid-to-late March to the end of June if you don't catch barracuda (mullet).
Mullet is the Cantonese people called aconitum, thick round body, gray and black back, the body of blood and flesh (rich in hemoglobin muscles) more, so strong swimming ability, strength, friends who have fished this fish know that the strength is super powerful. They come from the sea, grow in brackish water, and their most fertile season is around the winter solstice, and mullet roe made from mullet eggs is also quite famous.
The method of fishing mullet is very different from other fish, in order to attract and retain the mullet that is very unstable in the east and west, it is taboo to fight alone, which is suitable for many people to shoot the water intermittently to lure the fish and throw the rod to fish. Don't worry that making a movement will scare the fish away, instead it will attract the fish.
Mullet in the sea uses fish pieces, shrimp meat, and sand silkworms as bait, which have a good effect, but the mullet in the inland river is different. Fishing method is crucian carp bottom fishing method, bait: mullet like to eat fragrant, white bait, the current bait used is 918, 2 # acceleration attack or dragon slaying knife, pulled out of the bait than pure 918, 2 # loose, atomization effect is good, to enhance the fish retention effect. The sub-line is slightly longer, about 15cm, to produce a sense of fluttering, to trick the mullet into the hook, the mullet likes to eat floating objects in the water. After the bait is blistered, the slag is formed to form a atomized bait to lure the fish, and the bait on the hook is larger, and the fish will give priority to the bait. Then it's up to you to look at your fishing skills.
The other most important point is to make a nest, I usually use rapeseed cake with ghost rice flavor, add water to ferment for a few days and use it. You can also use white bread slices, put the bread in a bucket or bowl, and then add the right amount of water, as if to make a "seawater bread soup". Crush the bread, mix it with water, crush the crust, throw a little bit into the water, the key is to put the crushed breadcrumbs, continuously, each time in small amounts, but there is not much to eat into the mouth. As long as the fish are lured, they will continue to bite, and the success rate is greatly improved.
Fishing method generally uses near-bottom float fishing more, adjust 3 fishing 1, as long as the fishing method is on the right road, if the fish is in good condition, the basic buoy is in place to bite. After the fish is hit, the rod will be pulled into a large curved bow, the fishing line will be tightened, and the fishing line pulled by the hooked mullet will "rattl" on the winding wheel. It's not a big fish, but it makes anglers dance on the shore. Mullet are highly clustered and generally clustered together of the same size, so the body size is generally relatively average.
It is commendable that the mullet meat is tender and delicious. As early as 3,000 years ago, mullet has become one of the premium foods of the princes and nobles. Mullet is also known as the anchovy uncle, which is said to taste like anchovies. In particular, the mullet before the winter solstice is the most plump, the belly and back are full, especially fat, and are often used as seafood dishes in hotel restaurants.
