What bait is used to catch grass carp in cold weather?

In winter, because the temperature and water temperature are relatively low, grass carp gradually stops eating, so it is more difficult to catch. But sometimes you can catch grass carp occasionally when fishing crucian carp. This shows that grass carp no longer eats grass at this time, and its food is mainly meat bait or surface bait such as earthworm and red worm.

In fish ponds, pond owners generally feed on pellet feed or cake feed. Grass carp eat this food all year round and can't like other bait.

The feeding habits of grass carp are also related to the age of the fish. In general natural waters, grass carp likes to eat fishy smell, big grass carp likes to eat grass, and old grass carp likes to eat whole grains. Therefore, the recognized bait for grass carp fishing in natural waters is: tender grass, tender reed heart, pumpkin leaves, leeks, lotus shoots, grains of distiller's grains, semi-cooked sweet potatoes, tender corn grains, mung bean sprouts, fresh cucumber slices, tender green beans, ears of grain, rice grains and so on. There are grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, earthworms, silkworm chrysalis, cockroaches, grubs, fly maggots, dragonflies, shrimps, snails, breadworms and so on. The following is the recommended bait.

6 parts of wheat bran

3 portions of coarse corn flour

Bean cake (fried yellow) 1 serving

Mix according to the above ratio, add a little honey or white sugar (honey is better), stir with leftover rice soup, steam in a pot for 10 minute, add a proper amount of flour according to viscosity, and add a little clove wine or essence. When the weather temperature is high, the bait starts to be fragrant and sweet, and it looks slightly sour after being irradiated by the sun. This bait is especially effective for grass carp in mixed fish ponds, and can also catch silver carp and bighead carp.
