Twenty years of veteran catfish fishing finally revealed the truth.

Twenty years of veteran catfish fishing finally revealed the truth.

First, the timing of fishing catfish

In the choice of fishing weather, rainy weather is the best, because catfish are afraid of strong light, and the light is dark on rainy days, so catfish have strong foraging ability. Fishing should be done in the morning and evening during the day, after all, catfish are more likely to prey in the dark when the light is poor. However, it is not easy to catch catfish in the hot summer with high temperature and strong light. The fishing effect is better in the southerly wind of grade 2~5, but it is not suitable for fishing in the sultry weather without wind.

Second, the fishing position selection skills

1. Weedy shoals and grass caves: In spring, catfish tend to swim to weedy shoals and grass caves. These places not only have floating fish and shrimp, but also provide a natural shelter for catfish in the aquatic area, which is also the place where catfish sow.

2. Deep-water area of caves: In sunny days in summer, catfish mostly hide in caves or deep-water areas due to strong light, and like to go out at night and fish around dawn or evening.

3. Import and export of dam culvert: There are often some small fish, shrimp and plankton at the import and export of dam culvert, which are catfish's favorite bait, so these places are also gathering places for catfish.

Third, fishing catfish fishing tackle skills

Whether fishing catfish during the day or at night, the fishing tackle should use a thick hook. Because catfish is a fierce carnivorous fish, it is easy to struggle after being hooked, so the hook line should be slightly larger. You can throw the rod by hand during the day and fish in the shallows by hand at night. It is advisable to use a hard pole of 28 tones and a soft pole of about 4.5, and a large float should be used as the float.

Fourth, the choice of catfish bait

Catfish is a carnivorous fish, and it is interested in all kinds of fishy bait, live insect bait and internal organs of livestock and poultry, such as earthworm, red worm, maggot, chicken liver, chicken intestine, small fish and shrimp. It is the favorite of catfish, and fresh chicken liver has a unique fishy smell, which spreads quickly in water and is the best bait for catfish fishing. You can hang chicken liver about 1㎝ on the hook, with or without the hook tip exposed, greedy catfish will take the bait.

Five, the related technology of catfish fishing

1. Shallow bottom fishing: It is advisable to fish catfish in rainy weather or at night. You can hang bait on the hook. Insect bait or chicken liver can attract the attention of catfish and wait until it comes.

2. Semi-water lure fishing: Put live earthworm or live shrimp and loach on the hook to make the bait in a semi-water state, and use the twisting of the live bait to attract catfish to swallow the bait.

3. Running water fishing: The flowing water cave area is also a gathering place for catfish. You can throw the bait into this cave area, drag the bait in the upstream area of the running water, or gently shake it to urge the catfish to come over and ask for the bait.
