What are the fishing tips in winter?

1. It is best to fish on days with constant temperature in winter and not on days with sudden changes

Fishermen all know that fish are cold-blooded animals, so they will become very sensitive to sudden changes in weather. of sensitivity. Generally speaking, if there is a sudden change in weather in winter, it is not suitable for fishing. We often say that in winter, it is not easy to catch other fish but only crucian carp. Many fishing friends have some explanations for this sentence. Just because you can only catch crucian carp does not mean that you can catch crucian carp at any time in winter. In winter, there is also good weather with continuous sunshine. If you choose to fish in this kind of weather, you will often get good harvests. If there is sunny weather for about a week in a row, the temperature will be more stable. The daily temperature will be around 10-15 degrees, which is very constant. Fishing in such weather is the best time to fish in winter. There is a proverb that goes: "Fishing for shade in autumn, fishing for eyes in winter, fishing for continuous sunshine is like fishing for spring." If you encounter such rare sunny weather in winter, don't hesitate to go fishing super tight.

In winter, it often rains continuously and for a long time. Although the temperature is relatively constant during the rainy weather for many consecutive days, the fishing effect in this weather is not ideal, and it is not ideal for the fisherman himself. Speaking of which, it would be uncomfortable to go fishing in such weather. If there is a sudden drop in temperature, it is better to rest at home. Fish will feel abnormal and not eat due to instinctive reasons. Therefore, when fishing in winter, you must choose the right day. Fishing is best when the temperature is constant.

2. The yang side is the main fishing position in winter, but the yin side cannot be completely abandoned.

There is a proverb: "Fishing for the sun in winter." Many fishing friends understand this sentence as. When fishing in winter, the fishing position can only be on the sunny side. In fact, we cannot say that this understanding is wrong, but it seems a bit one-sided. When fishing in the sun in winter, the sunny side is mainly used, but the fishing position must also be adjusted appropriately according to the current environment.

The so-called sunshine refers to the side where the sun shines directly. The water temperature here is relatively warm, and fish tend to gather here. But usually when we are at the bank, there are times when there is no sun. At this time, the so-called sunny side, after being invaded by cold air, may be cooler than the shady side with north wind. At this time, the fish will not go directly to this so-called On the sunny side, they will hide on the shady side to avoid wind and cold. Therefore, when fishing in winter, it is an ability that every fishing friend must have to appropriately choose fishing positions according to the fishing environment.

3. Fishing in winter cannot be done blindly.

There is a proverb that goes: “Fishing deep in winter” is known to most fishing friends. However, many fishing friends deviate when they understand the meaning of this sentence. They blindly believe that when fishing in winter, the deeper the better. The deeper the place, the warmer it is and fish will gather here. This understanding is actually incorrect. Although the water temperature follows the natural law of being “cool” when it is “deep” in summer and “warm” when it is “deep” in winter, fishing friends understand that deep water hides big crucian carp. But have you ever thought that the deeper the water, the lower the oxygen content? The amount of solution will be less. Therefore, according to relevant data, even the relatively cold-tolerant crucian carp and carp generally only inhabit the bottom layer 4 to 6 meters deep in winter, which is the most suitable living environment for them. The deeper the better, especially for crucian carp. At noon on sunny days, they will also go to shallower places to look for food. Of course, the "shallow" mentioned here will not be too shallow like fishing in spring. It must be at least about 2.5 meters, which is their hiding place. Therefore, when fishing in winter, you need to grasp the depth scale and cannot blindly fish at depth.

4. When fishing in winter, the bait must have a strong flavor.

When fishing in winter, it is best to ask students to find fish nests. When fishing in unfamiliar waters and unable to find fish nests, you need to work harder on bait. In winter, bait needs more attention. Because fish always patrol the game in search of food in spring and summer, Taiwanese fishing friends often do not throw bait, but can also use the atomization of bait to lure fish in when fishing. But in winter, fish have basically stopped cruising and are hiding in fish nests somewhere. Commonly used baits for winter fishing include: red "musk rice" with commercial bait, yellow "fish luring" and traditional bait with white medicinal rice grains, glutinous rice mixed with rice (dry), etc. Of course, in addition to the stronger taste, the color of the bait used in winter should be fresh, eye-catching, and warm, with red bait being the best.

5. It is best to use insect bait for winter fishing.

When fishing in freshwater, you must understand the feeding habits of freshwater fish in each season. Only in this way can bait be used in a more targeted manner. Freshwater fish generally tend to be more "vegetarian" in summer and autumn, and "meat" in winter and spring. Especially earthworms, the reason why they are more effective than red worms and meat maggots is not only because they contain high eggs and have a special fragrance, but also because when used as a whole, they continuously stretch and squirm on the fishing line, which is more It is easy to be spotted by fish and is quite attractive.

On the contrary, if you use powdery flour-based vegetarian bait, in addition to not having the special luring effect of earthworms, the problem is that if it is too loose and soft, fish that swim less and move less will not be able to enter the nest. If you bite the hook, I'm afraid it will fall off and become atomized long ago. Although this situation can be avoided if it is harder, fish do not like to touch such dead lumps. Therefore, the best choice for fishing bait in winter is earthworms, but you must insist on using them flexibly, and because the "eating mouth" of crucian carp is small in winter, when selecting bait for baiting, you must pay attention to choosing the right earthworms, which should not be too large. Generally, the thickness of a matchstick will suffice. .

6. It takes a long time for fishing bait to produce nests in winter, so it is not advisable to change nests frequently.

When fishing in winter, many fishing friends make a nest and throw bait for only ten or twenty minutes. When there is no floating signal, they judge that there are no fish in the nest and hurriedly collect their equipment and change places. However, after doing this several times, even though the person was extremely tired, no fish was caught. It should be noted that fish are lazy in winter and the nesting time is much longer than in summer and autumn. Some fish will not even enter the nest until an hour later. You must not apply the nesting time of summer and autumn fishing to winter. This is unscientific. It's also unreasonable. So what should we do? First, after we select a fishing position, we make three to five nests near this fishing position and mark them ourselves. After waiting for a period of time for nests to appear, you can cycle between several nests for fishing according to the situation. Generally, the waiting time for nesting is preferably 30-60 minutes. If you are making three or five nests and fishing in cycles, but still cannot catch fish, then you should either change the fishing position in a general direction, or pack up the equipment and go home.

7. When fishing in winter, the fish biting signal is weak, so do not wait for an excessive floating signal.

Fish are lazy in winter. Even if bait falls to the side, they may not rush to compete for food like they do in spring and autumn, resulting in a strong floating signal anyway. In winter, the body of the fish is stiff and the bite is very slight. It is recommended that when you are waiting for the float signal, you do not need to wait for the big signal such as the black float, and you can lift the pole with some weak pause. If you want to wait for a big signal before raising the rod, most of the fish will be gone and the bait will be empty.

8. When fishing in deep water in winter, the pole should be lifted heavy rather than light.

As mentioned above, you should choose the appropriate water depth when fishing in winter. The water depth here will definitely be deeper than that in spring and autumn. So the waterline will appear longer. Based on the ability of the waterline to cut water in the water, when the waterline is long, the pole should be heavy because the resistance to cutting water in the water is relatively large if the waterline is too long. If you lift the pole lightly, the force transmitted to the fishhook will be relatively small. , and when the rod is lifted appropriately, the force transmitted to the fishhook, although attenuated by the water resistance, is just enough to penetrate the fish's mouth smoothly. When fishing in shallow water in spring and autumn, you need to be a little lighter because the water resistance is small, otherwise what you catch will be an empty fish mouth without fish.
