Many fishermen don’t mind breaking their rods to catch herring, so how do they catch herring in summer?

1. The best time to catch herring

Fish species are temperature-changing animals. Different fish species have different requirements for temperature and different suitable temperatures. The suitable temperature for crucian carp is that it has a strong appetite at a temperature of 10°C to 20°C above zero, while herring has the strongest appetite at 16°C to 26°C. As the temperature rises, the water temperature also changes. The suitable temperature makes herring appetite better. Wide open. Choosing a suitable temperature to catch herring will have a higher pass rate. Naturally, nest making methods cannot be ignored. 2. Fishing spots for herring

1. Fishing spots in the underwater layer

Herring mostly live in the lower layers of the water and like to forage in muddy sea areas. Therefore, all water has a certain depth. , areas with dense snail and lion populations can be chosen as fishing spots. Areas around emergent plants, areas with gravel under the water, submerged ruins, or wooden pillars and other obstacles are all ideal fishing spots.

2. Find fish bubbles as fishing spots

In summer and autumn, when the shore is quiet, herring often dives to the shallows offshore to look for food. In the morning or evening, you can see the foam caused by herring feeding in the offshore area. The foam produced by herring is different from that of carp. The foam of carp usually changes its position regularly. The position of the foam produced by herring changes irregularly. In addition, in addition to small broken bubbles, there are always multiple large bubbles mixed with long and short bubbles in the foam. Various rotten grass stems and plant debris floated to the surface at the same time, usually disappearing after one or two pieces of foam. Any sea area with bubbles can be used as a fishing spot. 3. Fishing tackle configuration

Because herring eats snails for a long time, they are very big and have a great impact in the water. Therefore, we need to use a long pole with a strong body to catch herring. The fishing line should be long so that it can be cast from a long distance and the depth of the water will naturally depend on the depth of the water. Some rivers in the south have shallow water bodies, no more than 2 to 3 meters long, so long poles and short lines are more suitable. The strength of the fishing line is higher, which is necessary, mainly to prevent the impact of herring from breaking the fishing line. For large fishing hooks, Iseni hand grinding is recommended. Because the fish information is different in each place, the herring in some areas are very large, and in some areas the herring are smaller. In particular, the herring in some reservoirs can weigh more than 60 kilograms. This situation is a great test for the line group. The fish float should be a large float or a traditional seven-star float, just catch it again and pause. 4. Bait for herring

Herring mainly eats fish species that feed on animal foods. Among many kinds of meat bait, it likes to eat rock snails, clams and young clams the most, and it also eats small shrimps. , silkworm chrysalis, loach, etc. It is best to use stone snails as bait for fishing. You can also make nests when fishing for herring. You can choose live snails and clams, smash them into pieces, mix them into stick noodles, put them in the pond water and rub them. 5. Fishing method for black carp

The fishing method is the same as fishing for big fish and carp on the bottom. Whether you use a sea rod or a hand rod, you can fish on the bottom. It is best to use a single hook when fishing for black carp, and use snails as bait. Either hook or plain bait such as stick noodles can be hung on the hook. No matter what bait is used, the entire hook should be buried in the bait when setting the hook. Herring does not use its mouth to carefully select food like carp. It usually swallows the food in one bite, and then uses its molar-shaped pharyngeal teeth to crush the food and then swallow it. Therefore, the reaction of the fish float is either to hold it up steadily or to submerge quickly, and generally there is no phenomenon of swaying from side to side. When the above situation occurs, the pole should be lifted quickly.
