Skills of fishing silver carp in summer

The skills of silver carp fishing in summer are different from those of crucian carp or carp. Silver carp and bighead carp like high temperature, and the optimum water temperature is 23℃~32℃. In hot summer, silver carp and bighead carp have the greatest appetite. July-August is a good season for silver carp fishing in the north. After the autumnal equinox, the weather is getting colder, and the food intake of silver carp and bighead carp is reduced, so it is difficult to catch them. Because silver carp and bighead carp have obvious foraging seasonality, fishing friends must seize the last time in late summer and try to catch big silver carp.

First, fishing point selection skills

Silver carp and bighead carp have an obvious feature, that is, their hypoxia tolerance is relatively poor. Once there is no oxygen in the water, they will float. Therefore, silver carp and bighead carp often live in waters rich in algae. When fishing silver carp and bighead carp, the fishing point should be near the water inlet, where the green plants are lush or the plankton is dense. The fishing waters are about 2 meters deep. Silver carp and bighead carp have the strongest appetite at about 30℃. So July and August in summer is the golden season for silver carp and bighead carp fishing. However, in hot and windless weather, silver carp and bighead carp often float to the surface to absorb oxygen and rarely eat. Therefore, the most vigorous feeding time of silver carp and bighead carp in a day is from 8 am to 4 pm, and the biting rate of silver carp and bighead carp is also the highest when the temperature is the highest.

Second, the method of fishing silver carp and bighead carp

There are many ways to catch silver carp and bighead carp, which can be generally divided into three categories. The first method is bottom fishing, which is no different from the general method of fishing other fish with long-distance pole, but the method of hook is slightly different. The hook is not buried in the dough, but exposed outside the bait.

When bottom fishing is baited, take a piece of sour food and knead it into a bait ball the size of a walnut. Tie 8~ 10 hooks neatly into a group, then pull them into the bait ball, knead the bait ball again, and then pull them out from the lower end in turn and place them evenly around the outer edge of the middle part of the bait ball. All hooks are exposed outside the bait ball, 2~3 cm away from the bait ball, and finally the bait ball is pinched up and down to make it gyro-shaped.

Another way is to float fishing with a hand pole. This fishing method generally uses a long hand pole, and the fishing line is slightly longer or slightly longer than the pole. It is equipped with a single hook or a double hook to catch silver carp and bighead carp in the middle activities. This fishing method needs to make nests before fishing, and the nest materials should be specially used for silver carp and bighead carp.

When fishing with an empty hook, you can choose a pair of bamboo hand poles with hard and slightly thick poles and nylon thread with a diameter of 0.4~0.5 mm, and the length is preferably the same as or slightly shorter than the poles. The end of the line is tied with a small claw hook.

Third, the use of fishing gear.

Fishing silver carp and bighead carp, both sea poles and hand poles can be used. We mentioned the requirements of sea poles before. There are two kinds of hand poles: general fishing poles and fishing poles. General fishing rods include carbon fishing rods, bamboo fishing rods, reed fishing rods and so on. Fishing requires the use of bamboo poles, which are hard and slightly thick and 4.5~6 meters long.

Fishing for silver carp and bighead carp also has special requirements for fish hooks, and big hooks are needed to fish for silver carp and bighead carp. The hook strip should have certain hardness and toughness, and the hook tip should be sharp.

Finally, for the fishing group, the fishing line should be a transparent nylon line with a diameter of 0.3~0.5 mm and a diameter of 0.4 ~ 0.5 mm. The hook line can be slightly thinner than the main line, or it can be a soft line twisted by three nylon wires. If you float fishing with a pole, you must be equipped with a small lead pendant and a big float.
