Grass carp, also known as grass pomfret, white pomfret, pomfret and so on. Taxonomically, it belongs to CYPRINIDAE, CYPRINIDAE, CYPRINIDAE and CYPRINIDAE. ? ? ? Family and grass carp. Grass carp is long and slightly cylindrical, with a round belly without edges; In oral position, the upper jaw slightly protrudes from the lower jaw; The gill rakes are short and rod-shaped and sparsely arranged; The body is yellowish brown, the back is blue, the abdomen is white, and the fins are light gray. Grass carp is widely distributed in China, usually living in the middle and lower layers of rivers, lakes, ponds and other water bodies, and can also swim to the upper water bodies when foraging. Grass carp is sexually active, swims fast and eats a lot. In the growing season, it can enter the flooded shallow grassland and shallow water area and the attached water bodies (lakes, rivers and other aquatic plants) of the main stream and tributaries for feeding and fattening, and overwinter in the deep water of the main stream or lake in winter. Grass carp mainly feed on aquatic plants and other plants, and zooplankton in the fry stage. Young fish can eat duckweed and tender grass. When the body length reaches more than 10 cm, they can eat all kinds of aquatic plants and hay. Under the condition of artificial feeding, you can eat compound feed, bean cake, rapeseed cake, rice bran, corn and so on. Grass carp eats a lot, and there is a folk saying that "fish and grass are one catty". However, according to scientific determination, the food intake of grass carp is usually about 60% ~ 70% of its body weight. Grass carp grows rapidly, and the fastest growth of body length in the Yangtze River is12-year-old fish. 2 ~ 3-year-old fish gain the fastest weight. Under the condition of pond culture, the weight of 2-year-old grass carp can reach 2 ~ 3 kg. 1. Fishing tackle combination hanging fishing method for grass carp is an important variety for fishery farmers. With the further understanding of "leisure fishing", many farmers are gradually changing their business concepts. More and more aquaculture waters are open to fishing enthusiasts, and all kinds of fish have become the fishing targets of fishing friends. Today, with the increasing popularity of fishing activities, fishermen's experience in fishing different species in different waters is also constantly enriched. Fishing grass carp by hanging fishing method no longer exists. According to the characteristics of different waters, the line combination is also different: 1. When fishing grass carp in high-density professional aquaculture waters: most of these aquaculture waters are regular ponds with rounded corners and suitable water depth, with few (or no) weeds and obstacles. Grass carp is usually fed with compound feed and some green feed at fixed points, so it has better feeding ability, faster growth and greater weight. However, due to excessive dependence on feed, grass carp's ability to find natural food is not high, and its swimming ability or struggling ability after being hooked is not as good as that of fish in rough waters (that is, we commonly call "fish is not strong"). Therefore, when fishing in such waters, the collocation of fishing groups should be reasonably combined with the standard of medium specifications. Such as: 4.5m hard-adjusted carp pole, No.2 ~ No.2 bus, 1 ~ 1.5 sub-line, No.6 "Kanto" sleeve hook (no problem in dealing with aquaculture waters that have not been dried for about 3 years). 2. When fishing in rough rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other natural waters, the characteristics of grass carp in these waters are: small number, miscellaneous eating habits, fierce swallowing, wide swimming range, strong impulse and so on. Therefore, to catch grass carp in such waters, the preparation of the fishing team should be solid and solid. Such as: 5.4m ~ 4.5m superhard adjusting rod, 2.5 ~ 3 buses, 2 auxiliary lines, 6 ~ 7 "Kanto" armhooks, and large-scale buoys for lake fishing (heavy falls can bring hooked bait to shore quickly to prevent small fish from stealing bait). The author's fishing friends are mainly fishing and leisure all the year round. They have rich experience in catching big fish (especially grass carp) in natural waters. Whether it is deep-water lakes, reservoirs or choppy rivers with many obstacles, they can always catch big (grass) fish smoothly. In addition to correct positioning and proper bait use, reasonable and reliable use of fishing tackle is also a very important factor. These cheap household fishing tackle they often use are very practical in recreational fishing. Such as: 5.4m superhard tuning poles such as "Shuiyu" and "Hefeng", No.3 bus and No.2 auxiliary line of "Fujita", and series buoys such as "Shengren" and "Yangming". Second, the bait for catching grass carp matches the feeding habits of grass carp. As the name implies, it likes to eat aquatic plants and fresh hay, as well as compound feed, bean cake and rapeseed cake. It is a typical herbivorous fish. Because grass carp eats a lot, if commercial bait is completely used, it will inevitably increase the fishing cost. Therefore, experienced fishermen will reasonably and flexibly mix some commercial bait with general fish feed. This not only saves the fishing cost, but also corresponds to the "partial mouth" characteristics of cultured fish, which greatly improves the hook rate. Generally speaking, it is also very important to choose fish feed with commercial bait, which mainly depends on the types of food fed by pond owners in fishing waters to determine the feed components that need to be matched with commercial bait. For example, if the owner feeds wheat grains, bran and other feeds, he should first choose the combination of bran and commercial bait, and try to use bean cake, rapeseed cake and granular feed as little as possible; If the owner feeds the fish with pellet feed, he should try to choose pellet feed of the same brand or model to avoid the phenomenon that the bait can't match the fish. Not long ago, we went fishing on a farm at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. When we arrived at the fishing ground, we learned from the owner of the pond that after the fish were usually fed with rapeseed cakes in the pond, we took out the brown rapeseed cakes (commonly known as cooked cakes) from the bag without thinking, and mixed them with the "Golden Dragon" grass bait to make bait for grass carp. However, fishing for a long time didn't work ... I got up and walked four times. I realized that I had made a big mistake after I found several packets of rapeseed cakes for feeding fish in a hut by the pond. It turns out that farmers in this place feed fish with a kind of "raw rapeseed cake" (commonly known as green cake) rich in neighboring provinces. It is quite different from the brown "cooked cake" we use (taste, color, shape, etc. Although they are all called "rapeseed cakes", it is difficult for grass carp in this pond to accept "cooked cakes". After we re-baited, the fishing situation immediately changed, and grass carp and bream scrambled to eat. Third, the observation skills of catching grass carp It is more appropriate to use grass carp caught with strong hooks and big labels. However, if we use the experience of observing the standard when fishing small fish to guide the practice of fishing grass carp, it is very likely to bring many mistakes, not only empty rods and no fish, but also nest shock and nest explosion caused by early hooking fish. In the early stage of fishing, the coarse bait in the nest has a good effect of attracting fish, and it is active to the bait of the incoming fish, and often swallows the hook bait deeper. Most of the buoy reactions are "slightly floating and then suddenly falling", so we should seize the opportunity to lift the pole decisively at this time. After a period of tossing and turning, the nest tends to be calm, and the grass carp returning from the nest begins to eat the bait carefully. Most of the signals reflected on the buoy are "slowly rising and falling, or it takes a long time to appear a little bit and sink". At this time, most grass carp want to escape with bait, so they should raise the pole immediately. After catching a certain number of grass carp in a den, the fishing situation may change (the signal is obviously weakened or the fish information is weak). Although fishermen continue to supplement food and improve the environment for attracting fish, the response of buoys is still unpredictable (this is mainly the instinctive response of fish after being frightened). "The tip of the marker is either motionless or slightly raised or lowered", and it takes a long time to "endure" every time you catch a fish. In this case, the fisherman must hold his breath, let go of a few small shakes and stick to the "big signal" (sharp rise or continuous sinking, etc.). ) in order to have a higher rate of catching fish. Fourth, the walking and control technology of grass carp after being hooked. Grass carp is good at jumping and strong, which is determined by its temperament and body shape. After the hook is hooked, it is often a way to swim quickly to the center or both sides of the water in an attempt to get rid of and escape. In this case, anglers should immediately press the fishing rod to both sides or bend down to lower the handle according to the escape direction of grass carp, and make full use of the elasticity of the fishing rod to resolve the first round of impact of grass carp. This is very critical. Generally speaking, when fishing grass carp (including other large fish), whether you can win the first round is an important basis for the success of fish walking. After controlling the fish back, the angler should always pay attention to the reasonable angle between the fishing rod and the fish (always let the elasticity of the fishing rod restrict the impact of the fish). If the grass carp is large, the angler should leave the fishing position in time and take the fish aside to prevent interference with the dens or avoid the brackets, fish guards and other appliances on the fishing position. In the subsequent fish walking operation (when the grass carp obviously can't jump), the fisherman should take the initiative to control the swimming direction of the fish and not give it a chance to breathe. In the process of dragging from left to right repeatedly, grass carp will soon be dragged down and turned white. If it is recreational fishing, it is better to let the fisherman prepare a "lost rope". Tied to the end of the pole can effectively alleviate the impact of the big fish rushing up and down, and is an important auxiliary tool for quickly subduing the big fish.
