The sturgeon is a slender body with a long "needle" above its mouth, also known as a needlefish. It is nutritious, has a good taste, is very delicious, and has always been very popular with diners. It is expensive, and the general price in the market is above 80 yuan, which is why many anglers like to catch sturgeon.
Scorpio is widely present in the Xijiang, Beijiang and other river basins. Just like the white stripe, people who don't like it annoy it, and people who like it want to catch it. However, squid is not something you can catch if you want to, it takes a little bit of skill to catch better. How can I catch it? In my experience, let me start with the following points.
What are the characteristics of sturgeon?
How to spot squid?
Characteristics of squid selection and bait use for fishing
What are the tips for sturgeon fishing?
Only by really holding on to the above points and truly understanding the characteristics and characteristics of sturgeon can we better catch it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what are the characteristics of sturgeon? </h1>
1. Squid, alias proverbial ("ShanHai Jing"), copper fish ("Linhai Foreign Object"), Jiang Gongyu ("Compendium"), needlefish ("Medical Forest Dictionary"), needlefish ("Zoological Dictionary"), single needlefish, needlefish ("Yellow Bohai Sea Wu Class Investigation Report"), etc., belongs to the jaw needlefish family, body length of about 16 ~ 24 cm,
2. Sturgeon, slender, slightly cylindrical, long and pointed head, the top and sides are relatively flat. The eyes are larger. In the mouth, the upper jaw is sharp, triangular flake-like, with a slightly linear bulge in the center. The lower jaw is elongated to a flattened needle-like beak. The teeth are small, with 3 tips per tooth, arranged in a narrow band on both jaws.
3. Sturgeon mainly inhabits the middle and pelagic fish in the coastal and estuaries, and also enters fresh water, mainly eating green algae, plankton and small crustaceans and other animals. The spawning period is from 4 to 6 months. China is mainly distributed in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the Yangtze River and other major estuaries.
4, the biggest role of sturgeon is the medicinal value, it is slightly cold, can nourish the yin and qi, can penetrate the carbuncle poison.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how to find squid? </h1>
Squid is a upper-class fish that often forages on the surface of the water and occasionally swims into the water, and there are three main ways to find it.
1, as long as there is a sturgeon in the water, you can basically see its whereabouts, because it will "stick" to the surface of the water to swim and forage. So to go to any body of water, you just need to stare at the surface of the water for a while to know if there are any squid. It is easy to spot it on closer inspection.
2. Ask an old angler nearby. When you encounter a fisherman fishing in the waters, you can ask for advice and ask him for advice. Fishing friends are all family, happy to help their own people, as long as they humbly whisper advice, basically can understand whether there is sturgeon.
3. Nest and lead fish. The habits of the squid are actually similar to those of white striped fish, which love to live in groups and like to grab food. Before fishing, you can use rice bran, wheat bran and other aromatic bait to beat the nest, so that the nest material floats on the surface, and in a short time it can attract a large number of sturgeon. (This nesting method is only suitable for rivers, not for sea outlets)
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the selection and bait characteristics of squid fishing</h1>
1. Selection of fishing position
Since the sturgeon mainly feeds on animals such as green algae, plankton and small crustaceans, the selection of fishing positions is fully discussed around the above characteristics.
(1), you can choose the bottom of the water green algae more water, here the sturgeon food is rich, suitable for the life of sturgeon, natural squid is more, and the strips are fat and large.
(2) Places where medium and large ships are docked. Generally speaking, there are more plankton and small carapaces under the bottom of the boat, so there are more sturgeons. It should be noted that the time for the vessel to anchor in this water area needs to be as long as possible, preferably more than two days, which is the best choice.
(3) Major sea outlets. You can choose to use it as a fishing spot at the mouth of the river, at the junction of brackish water. This is the best fishing spot option.
(4) No matter in what water, where to fish, still water is the premise. For example, still water areas such as major water bays are the best choice, and it is difficult to catch sturgeon where there is water flow.
2. Bait for fishing
(1) Shrimp meat or red worms. Sturgeon is not very particular about bait, in general, with shrimp meat or red worms suitable for the size of the fish's mouth. With a palatable live shrimp, it is better to maintain the activity of the shrimp when hooked.
(2), commercial bait, commercial bait as far as possible to choose fishy bait, and in the bait, you need to add Antarctic shrimp powder to increase the fishy taste of the bait.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what are the techniques for fishing for sturgeon? </h1>
The individual sturgeon is relatively small, so the requirements for the fishing rod are not high, but because its mouth is relatively small, the requirements for the fish hook are relatively high.
1. Equipment
fishhook
The fish hook can generally be used with hook no. 3, and it can also be used with Marushi no. 6. Double or single hooks can be tied. The length of the sub-line is 20 to 30 cm.
fishing rod
Depending on the fishing location in the water, you can choose a 4.5 to 7.2 meter hand rod. You can also choose a 2.1 to 2.7 meter rock rod or sea rod suitable for long throwing, ordinary fishing boats can be.
float
There are two cases of floating options. When using a hand pole, you need to choose a slender short foot drift; if it is a sea pole rock rod, you can choose a large float or even Awa. Note that the float should be paired with a lead drop to facilitate throwing.
Fishing line
The fishing line can be smaller, and the main line 1.0 sub-line 0.4 can be. Although the sturgeon is small, its eating mouth is very fierce, the strength is also large, it is easy to black mark, and sometimes the tail of the rod can feel the mouth of the fish.
2. Fishing skills
(1) Drifting
Scorpio are surface fish and do not need to sink to the bottom of the water when fishing. When fishing, place the lead pendant directly under the float seat, rather than above the figure-eight ring. This is different from the usual fishing, the advantage is that when the float sinks, and the hook bait is still floating on the surface of the water.
(2) Fishing method
The way to catch squid is to throw the hook bait out and then slow down to the recycling line. Sturgeons like to chase small fish and shrimp on the surface of the water, and when the hook bait floats on the surface of the water, it will lure the squid to rush over and eat the bait. When you see the float being pulled, don't rush to close the line, but stop the line and let the squid drag for a while. When you see that the float has been dragged and has not floated, it means that the needlefish has swallowed the bait, and then you can lift the rod to close the line.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > considerations for sturgeon fishing</h1>
1, summer and autumn is the best time to fish for sturgeon, especially in the alternating summer and autumn seasons, when the tide strikes, it is a good time to fish.
2, when there is a northwest wind, it is the best time to catch sturgeon, do not miss it.
3, the evening of the day is the best time, especially the time from 5 to 7 o'clock is better.
4, the bait must use fishy bait, if it is shrimp fishing, to maintain its activity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
Although the sturgeon is rich in nutrients and high value, it is difficult to catch much in its small size. If you want to catch more than a pound in a short period of time, you must use good bait, support fishing skills, and find the right fishing position in order to catch more fishing. Otherwise, it is very normal that you can't catch it, and even if you catch it, it's very small.
