An introduction to the life habits of eels and how to find fishing spots

Eels are also known as eels, green eels, and white eels. This fish is divided into river eels and moray eels. River eels spend most of their time in fresh water, swimming only during spawning periods: to the sea; moray eels are always in the ocean, with larger bodies than river eels. River eels can also make permanent living in fresh water when they are unable to return to the sea, but they cannot reproduce. It is a water-traceable fish. It is found in the main tributaries of rivers and lakes that connect with rivers in the south, and sometimes in watery rice paddies. Grade fish meat is tender and delicious, high in rouge content, and addictive to silkworm pupae, earthworms and other things, which are very easy to hook. However, if you do not pay attention to the shore after the jun, the fish will be unhooked. If you use a transparent nylon wire hook line to catch a group fish, it will be quickly wrapped up by its tail, making the whole line curl and scrapped. The way to prevent it is to squeeze its neck and take off the hook immediately after landing. Do not keep it in the mesh bag after decoupling, because its teeth are sharp, it will bite through the mesh bag and grow away.

It can be tied with thick thread and raised in a bag, or strung with fine lead wire and raised in water. There is also a way to catch grade fish, that is, on the shore of the watery rice field or water transmission ditch, look for fin fish, pay attention to the moist mouth, such as the hole is wet, there are water droplets is a grade fish, such as dry holes are no fish. Make a small hook without barbs with bicycle wire, put the earthworm on the whole sleeve, send it to the hole, once the eel is found to swallow the hook, you must immediately pull it out of the mouth quickly and forcefully, the action is slow, it will force the hole wall to increase trouble, and sometimes it will open the mouth.

The eel is cylindrical in shape, up to 60–70 cm long, with a grayish brown back and side, a white belly, a long dorsal and fin that extends to the caudal fin, no ventral fin, very small scales, buried under the skin. This fish has strong adaptability, can make a living in a harsh environment, and its swimming speed is extremely fast, gathering in groups when it goes down the river, but it is scattered on a normal day. It is photophobic, its feeding activities are mainly carried out at night, and in the daytime, it mostly lurks in the underwater grass or stone crevices, as well as in the underwater debris and in the shadows, and only swims out after dusk to find food along the bottom of the water.

It has fine teeth on the side of the mouth, and is basically based on animal foods, such as earthworms, small fish, shrimp, insects, sand silkworms, crabs, various animal offal, aquatic insects and some benthic small animals. Eels are sensitive to fishy odors and prefer to eat rotting animal corpses.

(1) Carp is a swimming fish, which breeds in seawater and fattens in fresh water. Every autumn, eels grow in freshwater to a mature stage and then travel long distances to spawning grounds in the sea and hatch into juveniles in the following year. When the water temperature warms up slightly in the spring, the young eels swim up the river in groups and enter the rivers or lakes. This fish grows faster and has grown up and matured after 5-6 months. The best time to catch eels is in the early summer and early autumn, when larger eels are caught, and the fishing points should be located on the edge of the lake that connects with the river, in the underwater grass of the river, in the stone crevices of the embankments along the river, and where more rubble and stones are piled up on the bottom of the water.

(2) Carp are afraid of bright light and often come out at night to feed, and anglers can choose the bottom of the river at night with tree roots, weed roots, rock piles and shaded waters, as well as rice fields or irrigation canals near the river as fishing spots, where eels often rest.

(3) Eels like to come out in the summer and autumn on windy and rainy days, and in this climate, eels will also come out in the daytime to swim in the canals, rice fields and carrying rivers, and anglers can take the opportunity to fish. If it rains at night, anglers come out to fish. The harvest will also be good.
