Techniques for placing Monopterus albus in cages. What bait should be put in the cage?

1. Look at the wind direction: put the eel cage on the south slope when the south wind blows, and put the eel cage on the north slope when the north wind blows. 2. Look at the depth of the water: If the water level is deep, you can put the eel cage in shallow water; if the water level is shallow, you can put the eel cage in deep water. 3. It depends on the season: Generally, eel cages can be placed in places where aquatic plants germinate in spring, where food is abundant in summer, and where aquatic plants are dense in autumn.

First, eel cage placement skills

1, depending on the wind direction

When surfing, eels generally don't go out for activities (eels are more afraid of water waves), so it is suggested to put eel cages on the south slope in the south wind and on the north slope in the north wind.

2. Look at the depth of the water

If the water level at the capture site is deep, the eel cage can be placed in shallow water, and vice versa.

Step 3 look at the season

(1) Spring: Eel cages can be placed where aquatic plants germinate, because at this time, eels usually move in wintering places.

(2) Summer: The eel cage can be placed in a position where there is enough food, because the eels are looking for food vigorously at this time.

(3) Autumn: Eel cages can be placed in places with dense aquatic plants, because at this time, eels usually make holes in places with dense aquatic plants to prepare for winter.

Step 4 look at the water flow

In order to find food, Monopterus albus usually lurks in still water next to running water, so still water in running water is also a suitable place to place cages.

5. Look at the location of the food source

Under normal circumstances, there will be more Monopterus albus in places where there are many small fish and shrimp, so the placement of cages can be decided according to the number of food sources.

6. Look at the water level

Monopterus albus usually goes out for activities when the water rises, and usually hides in caves when it falls into the water, so it can be put in a cage when the water rises.

7. Look at the weather

Monopterus albus usually moves in the shade when the weather is hot. When the weather is cool, eels will come out at night, and the eel cage can be adjusted appropriately according to the weather changes.

Second, what bait should be put in the eel cage?

1, bait type

Monopterus albus likes to prey on fresh live bait. Generally, fresh bait such as earthworm, pig liver, small fish, shrimp and chicken liver can be put in the cage.

2, eel cage manufacturing method

(1) Weave barbed bamboo strips into thin bamboo cages with two ends, with the appropriate height of 30-40 cm and the appropriate diameter of 15 cm.

(2) Close the bottom opening and open the top opening, and the diameter of the cage opening should be suitable for reaching in.

(3) Weave 5-8 thin bamboos at the position of 7-8 cm at the lower end of the eel cage to form a small inverted whisker with a diameter of 5 cm. The standard is that eels can get into cages but can't get out.
