After the cold dew, the temperature is not cool, but cold and cool, at this time to use the folk fishing proverb to describe the fish situation, that is, the umami is running all over the street, and the aquatic products at this time are very fat. This is because fish eat a lot of food, gain weight, and are actively preparing for winter. When it comes to the cessation of the mouth in winter, the hibernation of hibernation, the weight begins to fall. Late autumn is a good time to fish for yellow catfish, which are easy to catch and fat.
Yellow catfish have a wide range of foraging water temperatures, are hardy to cold and heat, and can be caught in early winter in areas that do not freeze, and the opening time in spring is not much different from that of crucian carp. Yellow catfish also has a characteristic, that is, it is very resistant to low dissolved oxygen, this is because the yellow catfish does not only rely on the gills to obtain oxygen, the body surface is slimy and has the ability to obtain oxygen, so when the dry season, it can also survive in the silt for a long time, and can wait until the rainy season arrives. Yellow catfish do not rely on vision for foraging, because the eyes are small and the vision is deteriorating, and it is more suitable for foraging in muddy water and low light environments. Therefore, no matter what the season, the yellow catfish will be better fished at night than during the day. It is better to fish yellow catfish during the day in spring and autumn, generally in the obstacle area of weak light, or in muddy water. Fishing on flooded ground on the day of the rising water often yields very good catches.
Yellow catfish fishing is mainly for fishing various small water surfaces, such as wild rivers, long ditches, or tributaries of rivers and lakes. This is because yellow catfish do not have a strong swimming ability and prefer to move in still water or slow-flowing areas. Moreover, yellow catfish is a typical carnivorous fish, and there are often a lot of aquatic weeds covered in small water surfaces such as branches, among which small fish, small shrimp, snails and other foods are extremely rich. Because fishing for yellow catfish is mainly fishing for muddy water, shallow water, still water, and obstacles, the better hand rod fishing method is the Seven Star Drift Fishing Method, which can easily be cast in the obstacle area. It is best to use it with a sky-facing hook, the advantage of this kind of hook is that the hook handle has a lead sinker, and the yellow catfish will not eat the hook too deeply.
According to the habitat characteristics of yellow catfish, the bait for fishing yellow catfish is roughly like this, generally using earthworms, bloodworms, snail meat, chicken liver, chicken intestines, etc., but experience tells us that when the water temperature is relatively cold, the most suitable bait for fishing yellow catfish is not bloodworms and earthworms, but shrimp. Because shrimp is the food that yellow catfish often eat, in the wild river, in the branches, there will be groups of rice shrimp in all aquatic grass areas, which is the best bait for fishing yellow catfish. Rice shrimp are mainly black-shelled shrimp, and there are some small shrimp commonly known as big-eyed thieves, which are the juvenile body size of river shrimp, which is not much different in size from black-shell shrimp, and the living area is also similar. It is very particular to make bait for rice shrimp, and you must choose the area where the water is stopped.
It is said that when fishing for crucian carp in the wild, the selection of aquatic plants is mainly fishing for submerged plants and upright water plants, the reason is that these two plants are more suitable for hiding, and the resources of small shrimp will be very rich. Use a fine-eyed copy net to catch a few copy nets in the aquatic weed area, and you can catch some of them, and you can use them directly by hooking them. Rice shrimp is not only used for yellow catfish fishing, it is also an excellent bait for warping mouths. Especially in the bays of some rivers and the places where the water is divided, the warped mouths in them often do not eat commercial bait, but they will never refuse rice shrimp. In other words, the more you fish in a larger river, the more you want to catch a larger shrimp, it is a very good bait. In addition to warping mouths, rice shrimp are also often used for squid fishing. In early summer, when the squid is very active, it is a lot of fun to catch small and medium-sized squid by hanging them on small shrimp and catching them in the middle of the water.
In winter, shrimp can be used to catch yellow catfish in areas that do not freeze, and shrimp meat is also an excellent bait for crucian carp fishing in winter. Please pay attention to the collection and like, update on time every day, thank you fishing friends!
