2. Constant plankton, the purpose is to feed on plankton and absorb oxygen, because during the period from early summer to late autumn, abnormal weather changes often lead to hypoxia in the water.
I'm afraid of being disturbed and happy. As soon as there is a noise or a bird skimming over the water, it immediately causes the fish to stir and jump out of the water, one after another, dazzling. This reaction mainly occurs in silver carp.
Second, understand its feeding habits and bait.
Silver carp not only likes sour and smelly, but also likes sweet food, and sometimes it can be caught with meat bait. Of course, it also depends on the water quality and feeding situation of fish ponds. Generally, sweet bait and red earthworm have better effects in small-area artificial breeding ponds with sufficient bait; For large natural waters with low density of silver carp and abundant plankton, the temptation of sour and smelly bait is great.
The following are some baits I have used to catch silver carp with good results:
1. Rapeseed cake, tail powder, flour, fermentation
2. Rapeseed cake, corn flour, flour, fermentation
3. Corn flour, tail powder, flour, fermentation
4. Bran, tail powder, flour and fermentation
5. Rice distiller's grains, tail powder and flour
6. Flour, white vinegar and sugar
7.bran, stinky tofu juice and flour
8. Red earthworm dipped in flour
The above baits are all prepared except red earthworm. If you are making bait, add more flour, and it is best to stay in the water for 2~3 minutes. If it is used as bait, you can knead it into a rope without adding too much flour. The content of rapeseed cake should not exceed one-fifth at most. Other raw materials can be flexibly matched according to the situation.
Third, understand its feeding characteristics.
1. Chain fish sucks food into their mouths when their mouths are open and closed, but they don't swallow in a hurry, and they don't turn around and swim like carp, grass and herring, but stay where they are, spit while sucking, and swallow slowly. In addition, flowers and silver carp have different feeding behaviors. Silver carp is agile and delicate, which makes people hard to prevent. To catch this fish, be quick, be quick. The feeding action of silver carp is slower and smoother than that of silver carp.
2. Most of them feed in the middle and upper waters, especially in artificial fish ponds. The bait floats in the middle and upper layers, which makes the fish form the habit of foraging in this water layer. Then feed the plankton on the water with the wind, which makes it difficult to catch silver carp.
3. Some people go underwater for food. Especially when fishing, because of the rich fragrance of bait, groups of silver carp are attracted. They are not as cunning and suspicious as crucian carp and carp, and they eat as long as the taste is suitable, which creates favorable conditions for fishing silver carp.
Fourth, learn to watch drift.
This is very important. Because the key to accurately grasp the timing of pole lifting is the moment of floating reaction. So what are the reactions?
1. Come on, shake a little or two, or sink a little, and immediately rise to the original position, which is undoubtedly the reaction of silver carp catching bait.
2. Slowly rising or sinking, no more than one eye, is the bait for silver carp.
3. When the bait sinks in place, the float suddenly rises or sinks 1~2 mesh and remains motionless. Silver carp is definitely hooked, and the hook rate of this reaction is quite high.
4. Floating on the water seems motionless, and most of them are silver carp catching bait. This reaction usually occurs when there is a little wind and waves.
In my more than ten years of experience in silver carp fishing, I have never encountered silver carp dragging, black drifting and big drifting.
5. How to judge that silver carp bites into the nest?
1. Bubble observation: A single bubble with the size of 20 cents emerges from around the nest, one on the left and one on the right of the rice handle, and enters the nest from far and near.
2. Be careful with the bait. In order to accurately judge whether the silver carp bites the hook, there is an effective method besides watching the drift and blisters, which is to try fishing with red earthworms. Other fish bite the bait, and the earthworms are bitten off one by one, while the earthworms bitten by silver carp are all bitten.
Therefore, as long as we comprehensively analyze the factors such as watching the drift, watching the blisters and checking the bait, we can accurately judge whether the silver carp bites the hook.
Six, fishing methods
In recent years, I have used four kinds of fishing methods: single hook, string hook, group hook and anchor hook to explore when conditions permit.
1. The fishing tackle for silver carp with single hook is the same as that for crucian carp and carp. It's just that the hook is bigger. I used a fishhook made by Nissan Marujiu 13~ 15, and the bait was red earthworm or flour rope. This method is simple and easy to learn, but because the silver carp has a big mouth and a mucous membrane, it is difficult to hook the key parts, so the proportion of fish running away from the hook is very large.
2. The string hook fishing method is to hook the silver carp in the upper, middle and lower water layers, but the interference of small miscellaneous fish is too great, the effect is not ideal, and it takes time and bait.
3. hook fishing, that is, explosive hook. This method does not need lead weights and bait springs, and only the prepared bait is used to wrap the hook. After the bait is gently placed on the bottom of the water with a hand pole, it floats upright, exposing the water surface 1~2 mesh. Although there are not many fish in this method, the hook line is easy to wind and knot.
Seventh, which is better, floating fishing or bottom fishing?
As far as the life habits of silver carp are concerned, the effect of floating fishing should be good. Some fishermen have tried it, and it has also been introduced in China fishing magazine, and all of them have gained something. But from my years of practice in silver carp fishing, floating fishing is not as good as bottom fishing. Although the former is attractive, it lacks stability, because the bait is immersed in the water and diluted by the water, and the fish bumps and scatters, leaving only an empty hook, so the fish will not be fooled. Bottom fishing, on the other hand, turns the disadvantage of floating fishing into an advantage. Constantly replenish bait to fixed dens to enhance the effect of attracting fish. Plus the taste is right, silver carp compete for bait. At this time, it is time to mention the fish. As for the depth of bottom fishing, we can't say it one by one. So far, I have caught a depth of 3.5 meters from 1 m, and the effect is very good.
Eighth, how to achieve high fishing efficiency?
It is found that the effect of silver carp fishing is better from June to September every year, but July and August are the ideal months in these four months, and the peak period of silver carp fishing is from mid-July to mid-August, and every evening in this month is a golden moment. Because during this period, the temperature is changeable, the southwest wind is strong, the weather is sultry, and the fish lose their appetite due to the climate. Only when the temperature drops in Huangcuo, the wind is light. At this time, the silver carp has a big appetite and is hungry. In addition, it is inconvenient to watch drifting because of the heavy wind and waves during the day, which is also one of the reasons why it is not suitable for silver carp fishing. Therefore, the dusk in this period is a rare opportunity to achieve the best fishing effect.
Ninth, can you catch silver carp in winter?
I thought I couldn't catch silver carp in winter. But according to the exploration in recent years, I have overturned my original idea that I can catch silver carp in winter. This is just a small gain. In the winter of 1992~ 1995, I have been trying to fish and caught a certain amount. Especially on a cloudy day at the end of February, 1994, when the temperature was only 1 1℃, a large silver carp weighing more than 9 kilograms was caught. Fishing friends also caught silver carp in winter according to the method I introduced.
Tenth, the "old ghost" fishing effect is good.
Although I admire the essence of "old ghost", at first it was only used to catch crucian carp and carp, not silver carp. Later, in order to test the power of the "old ghost", the essence of the "old ghost" was mixed into the bait for silver carp fishing, and there were two uses.
1. Mix in flour and dip in powder;
2. Mix flour and sugar well and use it as bait. The bait is light yellow, slightly sweet and has the special fragrance of "old ghost".
Because of the intervention of "old ghost", the attraction of bait is enhanced and the powder is constantly dipped, so it lasts for a long time and there are many fish. For this reason, all the fishing friends around me say that I am a senior fishing friend. In fact, this is not my fishing skill, but the performance of "old ghost"!
Finally, don't be too happy when the silver carp is hooked, because this kind of fish has a big mouth, thin lips, less meat and more membranes, and it is difficult to hook it firmly. In order to make the caught silver carp go ashore smoothly, we must pay attention to three aspects: first, we must not pull hard to prevent omission; Second, you can't loosen the thread to prevent decoupling; Third, don't be impatient, in case you are in a hurry. So we can only follow the trend, carefully walk the fish until it is white and upturned, and then go ashore with nets or hands. Don't mention the thread, or all the previous efforts will be in vain.
