Aquatic plants such as cattails and rhododendrons that grow out of the water surface are collectively called grass holes in the gaps, gaps, and sparse places in these aquatic weeds. A variety of aquatic plants are thriving in the waters, and many species of fish tend to feed and inhabit the grasses. There are abundant fish resources in the grass caves in the natural waters, including grass carp, carp, silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, trample, bream, catfish, etc., among which crucian carp is often the most abundant, which can be called the right time for fishing. The use of a long rod and a short line to poke the grass hole is a wise move to catch fish, this method is not easy to scatter the fish, is an ideal fishing method. The author writes this article for the reference of interested fishing friends.
First, the combination of long rods and short lines
When it is difficult to get off the hook when the grass is hanging in the grass hole with a rod poked, in order to save time and try not to surprise the fish, you can tear off the brain line, do not damage the main line, and replace the brain line to continue fishing. Do not use old threads that have been stocked for a long time, as their flexibility has changed.
There are three types of tackle combinations:
The hook is made of Iseni No. 4~8 barbed hook, which is sharp like an olecranon and pierces the fish mouth more firmly. It is best to use a new hook, bundled into a single hook or double hook fishing group, the double hook is easy to hang grass, but sometimes there are double hooks will catch the fish.
If the weight of a single fish is less than 500 grams, choose 2~4 hooks; When the fish is large, use 8~12 hooks. The float uses a small and medium-sized drop-shaped long tail and short leg vertical float, a thin tail float is used for close fishing, and a thick tail drift is used for far fishing, which is convenient for watching the drifting phase.
Second, the preparation of fishing bait
1. Lure
In overgrown waters, the role of bait is important. Practice has proved that after the fish is hooked, the other fish are frightened from the nest because of the struggle, and the fish that leave the nest are difficult to give up the food to swim around the nest, and will return to the nest to forage after quieting down.
There are generally two types of bait:
2. Bait
Reach out to the grass hole with a long rod and a short line to hook it, and it is best to use insects and meat as bait. If you use a powder bait to stretch the rod and unhook it is susceptible to the influence of wind and waves and tall grass, it will atomize and unhook soon after entering the water, and it is not as stable as the insect bait.
Insect baits include earthworms, maggots, bread worms, green worms, chiri larvae, crickets, and so on. The author usually uses earthworms as bait. Qualified anglers can also buy earthworms back and feed them for a period of time, "open a small stove" for earthworms, and feed them with rotten bananas and rotten apples or blood clots of poultry and livestock.
3. Selection of fishing spots
1. Choose a fishing spot in the wild pond
The wild ponds in our land are often connected with lakes and ponds, ponds and ditches, ponds in ponds, ponds and pits are connected, and the water systems of east, west, north and south are vertical and horizontal.
These wild ponds are abundant year after year. The general principle of fishing grass holes is that the dense aquatic plants are easy to spoil, and the water body is hypoxic, which is a forbidden area for fish, and it is also a water area for fishing.
However, the gaps in the grass, the gaps in the grass, the sparse grass holes, etc., the food here is more abundant, and there are aquatic plants to cover, which is a place for fish to stay and inhabit, and it is naturally a good fishing spot to stretch out the rod and hook it.
2. Pond in the pond to choose a fishing spot
There are small ponds in the big pond, and at this time the reeds and iris grow green in the small pond, and the dissolved oxygen in this water area is sufficient, which brings vitality to the fish and is also a good place for fishing. However, it is difficult to stretch the rod from the fishing point of this pond in the pond.
On the premise of choosing scarce reeds or calamus as fishing spots, there are two solutions:
Fourth, long rod and short line fishing
1. Nesting
Long rod and short line fishing grass hole, the nest is relatively far, and it is difficult to reach the nest by hand throwing bait, so the author usually uses plastic to make a "small hanging basket" to make a nest. The "small hanging basket" has a round bottom shape and many small holes drilled in the wall, so you can try it out in a bucket after you do it, and if you can turn over and pour the bait on the water surface, you can use it.
Pour an appropriate amount of rice bait or pellet fish feed into the hanging basket, hang the hanging basket on the connector of the long rod and short line, and stretch the rod to the selected den to pour the bait.
Pay attention to the hanging basket with less bait each time, and make more nests a few times. If it's a lump of chaff, knock it into thumb-sized pieces, or use a hanging basket to make a nest. Nesting with a "small hanging basket" is slower and requires patience.
2. Fishing methods
There are two types of fishing methods depending on the depth of the water in the fishing area.
The key is to keep the earthworm wriggling off the tip of the hook to entice the fish to bite quickly. Note that the action of extending the rod and lowering the hook should be gentle, and the hook bait should be accurate in the water to ensure that it is successful the first time.
3. How to get fished
Anglers should stand and fish, look at the float, and pay attention to the signals of the fish biting the hook. If there is drifting, reverse drifting, black drifting, drifting, etc., it is a signal that the fish bites. No matter what kind of drifting phase, because it is hanging bottom and head fishing, and the bait is earthworm, the rod should be lifted for 1-2 seconds, so that the fish can swallow the bait completely, and then the rod is only ten and nine stable.
If it is a heavy hand, it is a big fish, you should take the fish out of the grass hole as soon as possible, walk the fish in the open water area, and wait for the fish to get tired and then copy the fish ashore, do not mention the fishing line, otherwise it is easy to tear the mouth of the big fish and cause the fish to run.
5. Precautions
Long-rod and short-line fishing consumes a lot of hooks and earthbait. Especially in windy and rough weather, the hook is easy to hang on the grass, so it is necessary to prepare several sets of fishing rigs with each hook number.
The earthworm tail on the tip of the hook is easy to be bitten off by small fish or hung up by dragging into a hole in the grass, so it should be checked frequently, and a new earthworm should be put on again after a fish is hit. When reeling the rod, the area around the fishing position should be cleaned up, leaving no garbage to protect the ecological environment.
