Last year, I accidentally saw in the circle of friends of the fishing friend Liu Brother that he actually caught a spotted turtle in the Qingyuan Beijiang River, and it should be known that this spotted turtle is a rare fish, which stimulated my restless heart. Therefore, he took advantage of the eleventh holiday to set off for Qingyuan with Brother Liu, and the purpose of this trip was to specialize in ~ spotted turtle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > preparations for spotted turtle fishing</h1>
When it comes to spotted turtles, I believe that many anglers are relatively unfamiliar with it, may have heard of it, but not necessarily caught. I was fortunate enough to catch it during this expedition. It was a special fishing experience, why is he special? Because the spotted turtle is already very rare, it can be caught by experience and luck. This article will talk to you about the specific fishing process in detail with the experience of Qingyuan actual combat. First of all, let's understand the following points:
These are the main points of this article. Before discussing the Beijiang fishing trip, let's fully understand the spotted mackerel, which will help us to carry out pre-fishing preparations and make specific fishing plans.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the appearance characteristics of the spotted turtle</h1>
Spotted bird body side flattened, the head is slightly flat, the body shape is long, the snout is wide and round, shaped like a plough, the lip is slightly thicker, there are 4 pairs of whiskers, the upper and lower collar teeth are curved, the dorsal fin is shorter, there are hard spines, the pectoral fin has stronger spines, the outer edge has fine teeth buried under the skin, and the serrations on the inner edge are harder. It is brown in color , with a yellow belly and irregularly arranged round blue-black spots on the side of the adult body. In my opinion, the most special thing about its whole body is that its four pairs of whiskers are white.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the habits of the spotted turtle</h1>
1. Predatory habits: The spotted turtle is a demersal fish, which prefers to inhabit the banks of rivers or waters with many rocks, and often feeds on rocky edges, inlets and places where aquatic grasses are dense. Mainly carnivorous, small fish, shrimp and other aquatic animals, among which smelly food is the most favorite. And eating more fiercely, the amount of food is larger, so the growth is relatively rapid. Once the food is ingested, it is swallowed immediately and no longer spit out, which is the main difference from other fish, so it is easier to fish.
2, growth: the general individual is 1-2 kg, the large can grow to about 10 kg. The meat is thick and thorny, tender and delicious, known as the king of fresh water in south China, and is one of the most valuable economic fish in the rivers.
3. Distribution range: Spotted catfish are mainly distributed in the Pearl River, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hainan Island and other waters.
4, breeding status: the fish can not be artificially bred, so the entire production area a year to salvage less than 10 tons, spotted anchovy is extremely precious freshwater fish.
Paragraph Summary: Through the introduction, we can find that the spotted turtle is a bottom carnivorous fish, generally like to live on the banks of rivers or in places with many rocks.

First, the fishing position selection
Spotted catfish are demersal fish that prefer to feed on the banks of rivers or in the waters of the riptides. When it forages, it mainly relies on the sharp 4 pairs of whiskers to find food. Since the number of spotted catfish is getting smaller and smaller, in the wild rivers, if you want to harvest something, you first need to find its place of activity.
Fishing friend Liu Brother has many fishing experience, more understanding of the spotted turtle, know that they like to gather next to the rocks, docks, rock piles, river forks, and aquatic grass next to the area, choose such a place to fish, will play a double effect. This time, we chose a total of two locations, one is the undercurrent next to the rock, and the other is the water and grass on the shore.
Paragraph summary: The best location for fishing for spotted catfish is mainly considered from two aspects, one is to consider the places where there is a lot of food, such as: the dock, the river fork but to consider the safety aspects such as: the underwater structure layer is complex such as rock piles, next to the rocks next to the water weeds, these places are natural protective barriers, which can bring enough security to the spotted turtles.

Second, nest material selection
Spotted turtles are unusually gluttonous, so there are many options for fishing methods, and you can get a good harvest with a hand rod, a sea rod or a rock rod. From the mouth of Brother Liu, I learned that no matter what kind of fishing method, as long as the spotted turtle is lured into the nest, it will not be too difficult to fish. However, if you are not familiar with the feeding habits of the spotted turtle and blindly beat the nest, it is difficult to lure the target fish into the nest. Therefore, I personally feel that choosing the right nest material is a crucial step.
Making nest material: From the habits of the spotted turtle, it can be seen that it likes to eat food with a smell, and Brother Liu, who has rich experience, prepared about 5 kilograms of blue knife fish a week in advance. First, remove the scales, offal, eyelets and gills, then wash the fish and control the moisture. Over here. The blue knife is then stacked into minced meat and sealed with a glass bottle. Pay attention to leaving room, generally filled with half a bottle. Then place the bottle in a place where the temperature is higher and leave it for a week.
Put nest material: Liu brother chooses the fishing position has a certain flow of water, in order to make the nest material stay at the fishing point for a long time, Liu brother a day in advance, the finished blue knife minced meat, with stockings, sink to the fishing point, the advantage of this in addition to making the nest material stay in the nest for a long time, but also so that the spotted turtle only smells the taste, but can not eat, which invisibly increases the probability of our fishing to bite the hook.
Paragraph Summary: To catch a spotted turtle, it is key to lure it into the nest first. Through the introduction of Brother Liu, the use of homemade stinky nest material can play a multiplier effect with half the effort.
Third, night fishing experience
Considering that the spotted turtle feeds more fiercely, and we are fishing in the slow-flow area, we need to overcome the problem of fishing in the water, we repeatedly debugged, and finally found that using a 20-gram lead pendant is the most suitable. this
Secondly, the method of fishing for spotted turtle is relatively simple, generally we can use live shrimp, small loach, grasshoppers, earthworms and so on. In my opinion, predatory fish in the wild are most interested in living animals. Therefore, we chose the more readily available universal bait this time - earthworms. What we need to pay attention to here is that due to the heavy lead drop, the fishing at this time is blunter, and when the bait is taken, the hook tip must be exposed, so as to ensure that when the fish bite the hook and spit the hook, it can pierce the mouth of the fish for the first time and reduce the phenomenon of running fish. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the activity of earthworms underwater, so as to attract the spotted turtle to bite the hook.
Beijiang's achievements:
The reason for choosing night fishing: the bait we choose is earthworms, which are relatively fishy and easy to attract small fish to make a nest.
Reasons to choose rock fishing: Considering boat fishing, rock fishing is the best choice for us to fish.
The reason for choosing a single-line hook: Due to the complex environment of fishing for spotted catfish, it is often fished in undercurrents or rocks under the water.
Paragraph Summary: The above is a summary of the fishing method of the kitten in Qingyuan. In general, spotted turtles like stinky baits, the second is to ensure that there are no small fish nests, night fishing is the best choice, and finally to ensure the activity of the bait underwater.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > precautions for spotted turtle fishing</h1>
1, timely lifting the rod: in the process of fishing, we must pay attention to observe the movement of floating, find that the tip of the rod has a nodded action, you can lift the rod in time, a little slow, the spotted turtle will swallow the fish hook into the belly,
2, more lead drops, fish hooks: therefore, more spare fishing gear is needed.
3, auxiliary tools: due to the large surface of the spotted turtle body surface, when picking the hook,
4, about safety: fishing in particularly complex waters, we must pay attention to the feet, especially in the boat fishing is,
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
The above is a summary of the author's experience in fishing in the Beijiang River in Qingyuan. In my opinion, when hunting a new species, it is best to have familiar angler guidance, like the reason why this fishing can be so smooth, mainly because Brother Liu has a certain understanding of the spotted turtle, knows how to make nest materials, how to nest fish. I hope this article can bring you some help.
Final advice: Appeal to the majority of anglers, please take the fishing garbage away, the fish do not like. Leaving a clear spring is a responsibility and a piece of love. I am a ding-dong cat who loves fishing, thank you all!
