At first glance, the name pufferfish is recognized, and I believe that there are two keywords that will be associated, delicious and poisonous. I believe that most of the anglers have not tasted it, including the seaside anglers have rarely eaten it, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not the target fish of most anglers, and the reason why it will be associated with the angler is because it is too troublesome and often "steals" your hook. Today I will talk with you about the fishing skills of pufferfish, you can read this article as an anecdote about fishing, before we start to take a look at a few key points:
Are puffer fish freshwater or marine fish?
Are puffer fish easy to fish? How to go fishing?
Fishing puffer fish is actually not difficult, mainly how to ensure that it is not cut off the sub-line of this problem, why many sea anglers hate it, is because it is very greedy, basically what you hang what bait will be robbed by it, the most important thing is that its teeth are very sharp, biting off the sub-line is a very common thing, every time it is angry teeth itch. And most people's impression of the puffer fish is very delicious, since ancient times, many people do not know whether the puffer fish is a freshwater fish or a marine fish, so:
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the habits of puffer fish, a little popular science</h1>
Pufferfish is a collective name for the teleost fish family, for the warm temperate and tropical offshore demersal fish, inhabit the middle and lower layers of the ocean, there are a few species into the freshwater rivers, since ancient times, China's edible pufferfish are mostly produced in the river, when the water emits a chirping sound similar to the sound of pigs and named river "dolphin". There are also "bubble fish", "blow belly fish", "puffer fish", "air drum fish", and other names. In ancient times, it was called "lungfish". When encountering external dangers, the entire body is floated to the surface in a spherical shape, and the small thorns on the skin are erected to defend themselves, and the common ones are redfin oriental pufferfish, dark-striped oriental pufferfish, black gill rabbitfish, concave-nosed pufferfish, black-spotted fork-nosed pufferfish and so on.
Generally, the body is within 40 cm long, the upper and lower jaws and teeth heal into 4 large tooth plates, no ventral fins, no scales or small spines. The body is oval in shape, with 2 plate-like incisors on each of the upper and lower jaws, and the middle seam is obvious. They blow water and air in the water, causing the sediment to fly, and then prey on the creatures hiding in the sand. The teeth and jaws are hard enough to crush extremely hard shells. The pufferfish have a heterogeneous diet, feeding on fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, insect larvae, branches, copepods, and leaves and filamentous algae of higher plants. It is generally rarely ingested during reproductive migration.
The above is to let you briefly understand the habits of puffer fish, in order to reduce everyone's reading fatigue, for anglers we only pay attention to a few points, one is that puffer fish mainly live in the ocean, occasionally stored in fresh water, but during breeding will go to fresh water to spawn. Second, the teeth are sharp, and ordinary fishing lines cannot cope with puffer fish at all. Third, the feeding habits of puffer fish are very mixed, almost no one refuses, so I have always said that fishing for puffer fishing is not difficult from fishing methods and baits, and even I use the way of table fishing for fishing a lot of times, this article in order to let many inland anglers have an intuitive understanding of fishing puffer fish, mainly from the perspective of table fishing to see how to fish for puffer fish.
Finally, there is a digression, if you are a foodie and want to taste puffer fish, what is currently implemented in China is: first and conditionally open the processing and operation of the two varieties of products of the breeding of redfin oriental pufferfish and the cultivation of dark striped oriental pufferfish. These two species are the two varieties with the longest artificial culture time, the most mature poison control breeding technology and the export domestic market. Fresh puffer fish cannot directly enter the hands of consumers, but must be processed by processing enterprises, and foodies can find qualified enterprise products on their own.

Mentioned above in order to let everyone intuitively understand how to fish for pufferfish, I mainly explain in the form of table fishing, plus the puffer fish itself likes to cruise in the near shore, so as long as the shore conditions permit, the use of a fishing rod is enough to cope. The entire line group can refer to the method of table fishing, the difference is the following points:
First, floating drift, do not think that the sea fish are fierce, puffer fish belong to the relatively light sea fish, if the water flow allows the premise, try to use the floating float that eats a relatively light amount of lead, in order to observe the floating action, if the water flow is more urgent, then you can take the way of running lead, lead falling to the bottom, but try not to use this method, floating away is not too fast then it is acceptable.
Second, the sub-line is the most important, there is an interesting thing, when fishing at the beach, often encounter no feeling, lift the rod to prepare for the bait when the fish hook is missing, tell you, is this trickster to do a good job, it eats the bait action is light, the teeth are sharp, ordinary nylon line can not withstand its bite. Because it often quietly bites off the sub-line and steals the bait on the hook like a thief, it is jokingly called a thief fish. So if it is specifically for puffer fish, be sure to use the bite line, the line group does not have to be too thick, the No. 1 or No. 1.5 bite line is enough, you can also cope with the big fish in case you encounter.
Third, fish hooks and bait, my personal experience is to try not to let the puffer fish bite the sub-line, you can choose the long-handled fish hook, Marushi, Qianyou can be, the fish hook can not be too large, the mouth of the puffer fish is very small. The bait can be used using shrimp, cut into small sections of hooks, but I prefer to use sea fishing surface bait, which can be nested and fished, and most fish species will bite the hook.
There is not much difference between fishing methods and table fishing for freshwater fish, it is best to look for not too large breakwaters, piers and the like are the best, there are rocks and reef structures that can hide fish, fish also like to go to these places to find food, and not far away is the mud and sand, pufferfish like such a place. Suitable conditions of the place 3.6 meters is enough, the general place 5.4 meters fishing rod can also cope with, in accordance with the way of table fishing while luring while fishing, the early stage is definitely a small coral fish to come to the hook, slowly will encounter the pufferfish. It is best to bring a glove, the puffer fish will bulge into a ball after the hook is cute, the small thorns are also very sharp, use the gloves to catch fish to avoid stabbing hands, take pictures and release it, this will not do it yourself, over-enjoyable on it, thrown into the water after it will float on the water, has been going down the river for a long way to feel that there is no danger will drill into the sea.

In fact, puffer fish rarely go to fish for it, I am in the fishing for other fish, found that the always inexplicable loss of the hook, I quickly change to the bite line to catch it, after catching a few will be quiet, fishing puffer fish is more interesting, not for the catch, I do not want to be poisoned, just as a fun thing to play.
