How to catch eels? How to catch eels?

1, Monopterus albus is a kind of fish that needs to hibernate, so the general seasons for fishing Monopterus albus are spring, summer and autumn. Moreover, because it is getting colder and colder in autumn, it is not easy for Monopterus albus to take the bait when it starts to enter the hole, but it is easier in spring because Monopterus albus has just hibernated for a winter and needs a lot of food supplements.

2. The premise of fishing eel is to find it first, so finding the eel hole is the key. In fact, you can find Monopterus albus in many natural waters, especially in old mud ponds, farmland, ditches and other places with wet soil. If there is a hole near the waterline, it is basically a eel hole. From the size and traces of the hole, we can judge the size of the eel and whether there are any eels coming in and out recently.

3. Monopterus albus likes fresh bait. Earthworms, especially stout green earthworms, are the favorite of Monopterus albus, followed by red earthworms, and other larvae such as small fish, shrimp, aquatic and terrestrial insects are also commonly used as bait for Monopterus albus.

4. Self-made steel wire hooks are commonly used in eel fishing. Take a steel wire with a length of about 60 cm and a diameter of 1~ 1.2mm, sharpen one end, and bend it into a hook shape according to the hook width and hook tip length of Yi Shi No.5 ~ 6 hook. Then the remaining length of the steel wire is used as the hook handle, and the other end is fixed on the wooden handle, so that the eel can be caught in the eel hole through the bait.

5. The other is a short rod, which can be hard or soft and has no fixed length. The thread group is generally thick, and the hook is generally hooked with a long-handled crane mouth.

6. Take earthworms as bait, for example. Pierce the hook from the head and put the earthworm's body on the hook. After finding the eel's hole, put the hook into the hole gently, and then bounce your fingers on the water to make a sound to lure the eel to bite the hook. Or slowly pull the hook back and forth to lure the eel to bite the hook. Generally, as long as there are eels in the cave, several trips to Doby will come for food. When the hand feels that the eel has bitten the hook, it should push the hook handle forward so as to put the hook into the fish mouth, then turn the hook handle to fasten the hook tip, and then slowly pull out the hook handle. This action should be slow, otherwise it is easy to hook the fish's mouth and cause the fish to run away.
