When is the best time to fish for yellow tail?

It is most suitable to fish yellow tail from June to September.

Yellowtail is a temperature-loving fish with an optimal survival temperature of 16 to 30°C and a critical feeding temperature of 10 to 32°C.

Tips for fishing yellow tail

1. Weather

It is best to have sunny weather lasting for many days. Generally speaking, the hotter it is, the better the fishing is. It is generally difficult to fish when the water rises greatly after rain. You should wait 2-3 days after the water level stabilizes before fishing. It is easier to fish when there is wind than when there is no wind. Winds of level 2-3 are the best and fishing is easy in any wind direction except west wind. Yellowtail is more cautious and generally does not need to be fished near shore. The choice of fishing rod is generally longer.

2. Selection of floats

When fishing for yellow tail floats, you should choose a float with a short floating tail. The short tail float has a good state after entering the water, and the stroke of the floating body in place is short and stable. Especially for fishing in the wild, its wind resistance and water resistance are better. Because compared with the long-tail float at the bottom, the short tail can transfer the weight lost by the floating tail to the lead sheet.

3. Fish bait

In terms of bait, Yellow Tail prefers fishy smell, so it should be fishy as the main flavor as supplement. If the fishy smell is not enough, you can put some shrimp powder, Wushuang or fishy. Flavor additives. In terms of nest materials, for yellow tails, vegetable cakes are the first choice, which are cheap and affordable. You can also add some commercial bait to mix them to make a nest.

4. Fishing method

Yellowtail is a group-active fish that comes and goes very quickly. If the nest material is sufficient, increase the frequency of throwing the rod. Yellow croaker has a strong impact, so when fishing, we should be careful to avoid its first impulse, and then use the trend to raise the rod to return to the fish.
