Tips for fishing crucian carp in winter What are the techniques for fishing crucian carp in winter?

1. Weather selection

It is best to avoid the biting cold wind and choose sunny and sunny weather to go fishing. It is best to choose a southerly or southwesterly wind with a wind strength of level 2-3 (this kind of wind in winter generally indicates relatively warm weather), and the temperature should be between 10℃ and 15℃. Even if the weather is not sunny or cloudy with no sunshine, as long as there is no biting cold wind, there will be no severe cold or extreme cold. Such weather is usually more suitable for fishing. If the wind is freezing and the water surface is frozen, it is not appropriate to troll.

2. Matching of fishing tackle

Rods, generally a soft-adjustable rod in a river channel of 6.3-7.2 meters can be used. For the hook, use a pill-shaped No. 6 hook. The handle of this hook is slightly longer and the hook bar is thinner. Use a light drop to make the bait hook sink as slowly as possible. The wire should be 0.6-0.8 strong wire. Use the trumpet seven-star float. The fishing group matched in this way is more in line with the slow and cautious feeding characteristics of crucian carp in winter. It is both concealed and highly sensitive. In order to prevent the hook from hanging on the bottom, it is best to bring a small anchor with you (available in fishing gear shops and street stalls) to reduce the loss of the hook line.

3. Bait selection

The ideal bait is small red earthworms or red worms. Because small hooks are used, earthworms that are too large cannot be used. Because the trolling method (also known as the walking fishing method) is used and is highly mobile, it is necessary to have a small box for earthworms or red worms that is easy to carry around.

4. Selection of fishing places

Generally, fishermen will not put out cages for fishing and shrimping in rivers in winter, but farmers with big trees along the rivers usually do this before winter comes. repair. However, during the process of pruning the tree, some branches fell on the shore and some fell into the water. Branches falling in the water are very happy for fish, because they provide good shelter from the cold and other small creatures that fish like to eat are also happy to be here. Therefore, fish regard this place as a geomantic treasure, and they often stay here.

However, you should be extra careful when trolling in these places. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause hooking accidents. In order to ensure safe and smooth fishing and avoid causing trouble to you, it is best to choose the "three noes" water area, that is, an open water area without aquatic grass, no tall aquatic plants, and no other obstacles.

5. Fishing methods

Trolling in open water areas is actually a way to tease fish. After you choose a fishing spot, first decide what bait to use. If you use small red earthworms, it is best to choose matchstick-sized ones. You can also use a whole earthworm about 5 cm long to pass through the hook. If it is too long, a section should be removed. If you use red worms as bait, you can choose 4 red worms to penetrate through the head, and then use 1 small red worm to wrap the tip of the hook. This method of threading the hook through red worms is more trouble-free than the thread binding method. It is fast, saves bait, and has good fish luring effect; indeed, you can also choose a single larger red worm to pass through the hook alone.

Next, gently throw the threaded bait hook into the water. After it sinks to the bottom, gently drag it diagonally. You can drag it left and right, or you can pull it back far away to pull it back. When the hook bait is dragged to 1/2 depth from the water surface, it is allowed to sink freely and slowly, usually repeated every 30 seconds or so.

During the trolling process, once a fish bites the hook, the float will mostly sink slowly and rarely move upward. Regardless of whether it is black drift, translation or upward movement, do not lift the rod immediately. Lifting the rod after 5 seconds can reduce the empty hook rate. Because fish eat slowly in winter, the time for lifting the pole should generally be later rather than earlier.
