Selection of bait and tackle for ice fishing crucian carp

1, bait and nest material for ice fishing crucian carp. The best bait for ice fishing is red worm and corn stalk worm, and you can also use bait with rich aroma in meat. The red worm is a chironomid larva. It is blood red because it has heme in its body. Crucian carp mainly feed on red worms from the juvenile stage. Even in the low water temperature environment, red worms still have irresistible temptation to crucian carp. Corn stalk worm is a 1-2 cm long worm, which grows in corn stalks and sorghum stalks. It is rich in various amino acids and protein, and tastes sweet. It is an excellent bait for ice fishing crucian carp in winter, and can be directly hooked. The method of making nest material is to mash red worms and mix them into the commercial bait of crucian carp, and the ratio of them is 1: 1, which is half the size of an egg to make a nest. This kind of nest material has a strong smell and is beneficial to fish collection. Nest material can also be used as bait, but it should not be too sticky or too hard, otherwise it will be easy to unhook.

Choose the right weather to go fishing. The following two kinds of weather are most suitable for ice fishing: one is that the temperature difference between sunny days has not changed much, and the other is that there is a little light snow on cloudy days or cloudy days. Fishermen must pay attention to the weather forecast in advance. Whether it's the north wind or the south wind, fishing can be done on sunny days when the wind is less than level 3, but the weather in the south wind is better than that in the north wind, and the weather without wind is better. It should be noted that fishermen should arrive at the fishing ground in advance to ensure that they can disembark at 9: 00 am after drilling the ice eye and catch fish at 3: 00 pm. After 3 o'clock, the fish basically stopped talking and there was no need to fight.

3. Choice of fishing tackle and fishing group. The fishing rod can be a raft or a self-made bamboo tip rod. Outdoor ice fishing rod 1~2 meters long, three is enough. The top of the stick should be very soft. But when ice fishing indoors, use a small pole with wheels, and the length of the pole should be less than 60 cm. In winter, the water temperature under the ice is very low, generally not exceeding 5℃. Carassius auratus has a stiff body, a small range of activities, and a slow and small mouth, so it is impossible to suck. Therefore, anglers should choose thin lines, small hooks, small pendants and small pot belly buoys-choose high-quality soft trunk lines of 0.8 and 0.4; The length of soft secondary line of double hook is 270 mm and 300 mm respectively. The hook should be No.3-4 Izu hook or No.4-5 Maruzhi hook. Adjust the double hooks of baiting to 20-30mm and 50-60mm from the bottom, respectively, so that the buoy just reaches the water surface but does not expose the water surface, and the scale must be adjusted correctly. The reason why it is adjusted to this state is to make it easier for the bottom crucian carp to find bait, and to ensure that the bait is always slightly on the bottom in the process of lifting the rod to tease fishing, which is more conducive to carp swallowing bait. Fishermen should prepare six such fishing groups before going out to sea to fish.

4. Choice of ice fishing sites. You should first choose a deep-water pond with abundant aquatic plants around the water area, or a deep-water sluice or reservoir with many underwater obstacles for fishing. There are many crucian carp in such waters. Fishermen should choose the warmest and deepest leeward and sunny position in the water area as the fishing point, specifically, the deepest part of the open water area on the south side of the high slope and ridge in the north, and choose the bright ice surface. The water temperature under this ice surface is relatively high and is less affected by the external temperature. Sunlight can irradiate the bottom of the water through the ice layer, promote underwater photosynthesis, and have sufficient dissolved oxygen.

5. Fishing skills. (1) Before ice fishing, the fisherman only needs to cut three ice eyes with a diameter of 30 cm on the ice; The three ice eyes should be distributed in an isosceles triangle, with the waist length 1 m, and the top ice eye should be on the south side, so that the fisherman can sit on the "bottom edge" facing the sun in the north. The broken ice produced by the ice eye should be fished out in time and placed on the north side of each ice eye, preferably in a semicircle to surround the ice eye. (2) Don't throw too much litter. At first, you can throw it every four or five seconds, slowly and continuously, and the total amount is half of the egg yolk. Do it again after an hour, so that the swimming crucian carp can see the fallen nest bait and gather fish. (3) After the bait is hung, the angler should gently and slowly feed the three rods into the ice eye in turn. If you don't eat the hook for 5 minutes, the fisherman should slowly lift the fishing rod 5- 10 cm, stay for 3-4 seconds and then slowly put it down; You can also shake the pole left and right, but the technique must be gentle; Once the buoy goes down or comes up, the fisherman should lift the pole, but don't use too much force. The crucian carp under the ice did not struggle, and the fisherman did not have to worry about running away. If a fisherman fishes with a small pole with wheels, he can normally shake the wheel to close the line when he meets a big fish. When fishing, it should be noted that it is best for anglers not to stick their heads directly above the ice eye, not to make big vibration and noise, and to walk lightly on the ice and speak softly; In addition, anglers should not stand in the position of blocking the light, so as not to block the sun from shining on the ice eye.

6. Tips. (1) Fishermen should wear thick clothes, such as jackets, trousers and down jackets to keep warm. (2) Anglers should keep their feet warm, and the soles should have anti-slip pads to avoid falling or slipping under the ice. (3) A thermos bottle is essential to ensure that lunch is not cold and cold water is not drunk.
