Summer is an excellent season for fishing grass carp. What should you do if you want to catch big grass carp in summer?

In the hot summer, with the sound of cicadas, rising temperatures, and rising water in lakes and reservoirs, it happens to be the best time to fish for grass carp. Grass carp is a fish species in all swimming layers. In other words, grass carp can be caught in every water-proof layer. Grass carp likes continuous high temperatures, and naturally bigger is not always better. When the water temperature is above 15°C, they will gather in groups and open their mouths to look for food. Grass carp likes to exercise, has a slim body, and has strong impact after being hooked. Understanding these habits of grass carp will help everyone deal with them in a targeted manner when fishing. 1. Preparation before fishing 1. Fishing rod

Because grass carp is a large species with strong impact force, long rods should be the dominant method when fishing. Prepare a fishing rod above 6.3 meters, with 7.2 meters and 8.1 meters being the best. What I usually see is a large pole of 8.1 meters. 2. The line group and fishhook

Determine according to the target personal size. Generally speaking, for items under 5 pounds, use a 4+3 thread group with a No. 7 Iseni hook; between 5 and 10 pounds, use a 6+4 line group with a No. 10 Iseni hook; for items between 10 and 15 pounds, use an 8+6 line group and above. No. 14 Iseni; for fish weighing more than 15 pounds, use a line group of 18 or more, and the fishhook is No. 16 or more Iseni. Remember to prepare a few more flavors in the line group. It is normal for grass carp to break the line. 3. Nest materials and bait

When fishing grass carp, fermented corn and old corn are usually mixed together to make a nest. I will also add a little powder bait or corn noodles to make a nest with corn kernels and clumps. The bait is very simple. Just go to the market and buy a few fresh corn cobs. Pay attention to the kind with round, tender and juicy particles. Special attention means that the nest bait should be divided into households to increase the chance of catching fish. 2. Fishing time 1. Weather

Try to choose drizzle or heavy rain weather for fishing. On rainy days in summer, the fish news is usually manic. It is best not to go fishing in persistently high and hot weather, and it is even more forbidden to fish in thunderstorm weather, which is very dangerous. Of course, for working-class fishing enthusiasts who always go fishing on Sundays, there is no choice about the weather. They can only decide whether they want to go high or low. 2. Wind force and direction

“It is better to fish for the cold weather in the north than to fish for the early cool and warm days.” If it is not a rainy day, then choose a northwest wind day. Northerly wind or strong wind is acceptable, and the wind force is level 3. Up and down is the most suitable. If the wind exceeds level 5, it is best not to go out. In summer, it is usually not easy to fish on southerly days, which means that fish eating is relatively poor. 3. Time

“The early bird catches the worm.” In summer, the sun rises very early, and the fish’s skin turns white at around 4 o’clock in the morning. When you go fishing in the summer, you should think about it earlier in the morning. After arriving at the fishing position, you should catch up in the morning after finishing preparations. Fish early for an hour and catch up in the afternoon for most of the day. Of course, the sooner the better. If you arrive too early, you still have to wait for that time to open your mouth. 3. Fishing position selection 1. Birch tip

Birch tip is the first choice, and it is a birch tip that widens the hilly terrain into the water. There are many fishing roads in Huajian, which happens to be a strategic location. To catch big fish, it is best to face the birch tip in the big water, and it is best to sit on the left side of the birch tip. Remember that fish always patrol the streets in the opposite direction. 2. Dam side

The second is the dam side, and it is also the side of the dam where the water level is suitable for you. At this stage, if you choose to fish for grass carp at the bottom, the water level of 2.5 to 3.5 meters is particularly suitable. Which side of the embankment to sit on depends on which side is downwind. 3. The junction of width and narrowness

This is the fishing channel that fish must pass through. Fishing here is equivalent to grabbing the fish by the throat. It all depends on whether your nest material can retain fish. There is not enough nest material to retain fish, so it is no problem to catch a few passing grass carp. Of course, there are also ridges, bays, and water inlet and outlet points in the water that are also good choices. 4. Fishing Adjustment Methods 1. Float Fishing Adjustment

Under normal circumstances, when fishing for large grass carp in the reservoir in the wild, it is better to fish bluntly. It is not suitable for fishing that is too clever. If you can run a lot of lead, you should be more clever. Just trot the lead, and if you are more flexible, lower the fishing height. These fishing adjustment methods are all available. It should be noted that the sub-line should be slightly shorter when running lead, and slightly longer when fishing for float; the distance between the double hooks at the bottom of the fishing line should be slightly smaller, and the distance between the double hooks for fishing for float should be slightly larger; there are also situations where there are more openings at the fishing bottom, and the distance between the two hooks for fishing for float should be slightly larger. Flying lead. 2. Bottom fishing and fishing float

From personal experience, bottom fishing is best if the water level is within 3 meters; bottom fishing and floating fishing are both acceptable if the water level is 3-5 meters; water level is above 5 meters. It is best to fish and float. There are also cases where the fish density is high and fishing floats, while the fish density is low and the bottom is kept. If you are fishing at the bottom, you need to make a large nest at once, and the interval between nest repairs should be longer. Just add two spoons of corn in half an hour. If fishing is floating, you can make fewer nests at one time, but you need to replenish frequently, less frequently, and constantly. In addition to introducing fish into the nest, you also need to bring the fish up from the water. 5. Floating image catching mouth 1. Black drift

This is the most common floating image used in grass carp fishing. Fishing enthusiasts usually cannot find the floating image inadvertently. When actually catching the mouth, you usually wait for about 1 second after the black drift before lifting the rod, in order to wait for the fish to take the bait firmly and reduce the situation of fish running away. 2. Big Top Float

This is also one of the common floating patterns of grass carp. Grass carp is easier to top float when fishing at the bottom. During the operation, it is necessary to wait until the strength of the top float is exaggerated before catching the mouth, such as on the float. Use 5-6 meshes on top, and don't lift the rod until it reaches the floating belly, otherwise it will be easy to empty the gun or anchor the fish. 3. Big mouthful

The big mouthful with two eyes is the real image of grass carp eating. Different from Dahei drifting where you have to wait a few seconds to raise the pole, Dadukou only needs to stop for the next meal and you should quickly raise the pole.

Whether you catch the fish or not all depends on your reaction speed. Many fish will be missed if you hesitate for a moment, and the fish will vomit out the bait if it is swallowed abnormally. It is necessary to pay attention to the difference between line rubbing and pause. The floating movement of line rubbing is irregular, and the pause is more intense and powerful. 4. Inclined floating

Inclined floating means that when the water is not moving, the float trembles twice and then is suddenly pulled away from it. With this kind of floating image, you can raise the pole without waiting for black drift, and you can still hit fish.

After doing the above work, you can catch the fish, walk the fish, and then take the fish into your home. Perhaps only fishing friends can feel the joy of this whole process so vividly.
