There are also many people who are consulting the author, asking how to fish this mysterious fish to get good results? Today we will talk about it.
The oxtail fish, also known as the Yellow River mockingbird, is a benthic fish with an elongated body and a tail similar to that of an "oxtail", hence the name. The oxtail fish in the Yellow River, which eats fiercely and is also very enjoyable to fish, is one of the target fishes of many anglers.

But in the Yellow River, not every angler can catch this fish as desired, so what is the trick? It is important to understand the following four points.
1, to catch oxtail fish, first of all to find their habitat, so as not to go empty. Oxtail fish like to stay in areas of deep water rapids, especially where there are rock piles on the shore, which is the best place for them to nest and hide, and it is possible to catch them if they find water with such characteristics, otherwise they can only return empty-handed.
Usually, in the dam head area of the Yellow River barrage, where the water depth reaches 2-4 meters, there will be oxtail fish hiding, choose to fish here, as long as the temperature is suitable, it will definitely be caught.

2, fishing bait should use live bait, earthworms are preferred. Oxtails have poorer vision, but are sensitive to taste and touch, especially for animal baits. Usually earthworms are the favorite of oxtail fish, when fishing, pay attention not to cut off or shoot the earthworms to death, be sure to hang a whole stick on the hook, so that the earthworm squirms under the water, will be a good way to attract them to come to feed.
In addition to earthworms, sand silkworms and green worms are also good bait, but these two kinds of bait are difficult to obtain, compared to earthworms. Therefore, to go fishing in the Yellow River, it is essential to bring two boxes of earthworms.
3, fishing method, line group should be suitable. Oxtails are benthic fish, and they like to flow water, so they usually use the "no drift" fishing method, that is, do not hang the fish to float, and judge whether there is a fish bite hook by observing the slight movement of the rod. In the case of flowing water, it is necessary to find the bottom of heavy lead, generally in the Yellow River using the "slip lead" fishing method, lead pendant counterweight is best in 20-40 grams, the main line 1.5-2.5, sub-line 0.8-1.2 can be.
Fish hooks can be used in Maruzen, Isena, oxtail fish eat hooks are very dead, the fish hook type requirements are not high, but must be slightly larger, in case it swallows the hook.
4, the last is the fishing time, from the end of April to May, after the water temperature rises, the oxtail fish will usher in the foraging period, under normal circumstances, the temperature is high, the fishing effect is better than when the temperature is low. In the middle of the day, 2-6 pm is the window period for cattle tail fish to feed, and there is also the evening, when night has just fallen, the cow tail will also frantically forage, fishing during these window periods, the catch is naturally not worried.
Of course, the effect of night fishing harvest will be better, but in the Yellow River, night fishing is very dangerous, so it is not recommended that anglers go night fishing.
The above four points are the key to wild fishing for oxtail fish, and its basic essential is to find the fish, choose the right bait, use the right fishing group, choose the right time, familiar with these factors, it is not difficult to catch the Yellow River bulltail fish!
