What are the tips for fishing in reservoirs in summer?

Around noon in summer, if fishermen are not afraid of the heat, they can use floating fishing or hanging fishing methods, put "vegetables", grass, reed cores, ants, etc. on the hook, and cast them with the wind to catch grass carp, The hooking rate of bats is amazing. Of course, the struggling force after eating the hook is also amazing. So what are the skills for summer reservoir fishing? Let’s take a look! What are the skills for summer reservoir fishing Part 1

1. "The reservoir is hooked at the tail in spring and shaded in autumn." Reservoirs are mostly formed by damming the canyon terrain and the natural river drop. The water depth difference between the upstream and the dam area is very large, and the deep water can reach tens of meters. It is only a few meters or more than ten meters long, which naturally forms the seasonality of spring and autumn. The water temperature in the shallows rises quickly due to the sunlight, and various aquatic plants, grasses, and aquatic animals become active, which becomes a feeding place for fish. A good place. Generally, the dissolved oxygen in the water is sufficient in the upper reaches, which is also an area for fish breeding. Therefore, when fishing in spring, go directly to the upper reaches of the reservoir or to the shallows. After the flood season, the water level begins to stabilize, especially for fish. Large fish begin to gradually move back to deep water. It is also the peak feeding season, so it is better to choose fishing spots in deep water areas, and it is generally better to choose sunny slopes as fishing spots in late autumn. p>

2. "The water in the reservoir is used for agricultural irrigation and fish farming. In addition to the natural rise and fall of the water level, water will be released in April and May." In June, the water level drops significantly, with a height difference of one to twenty meters. Water storage begins again in the midsummer rainy season, which has a great impact on the ecology of fish. Fish generally move less and eat less. It is difficult to catch big fish, and even if you want to catch it, it is mostly crucian carp and the like. However, during the rising water period, the fish have the habit of being close to the water, so fishing at the upstream water inlet is more productive. . On the contrary, if the water falls and the fish retreats, you must fish in deep pools.

3. The bottom landform of the reservoir is generally complex, with old rivers, roads, ruins, and scattered gullies and culverts. The water resources and ruins are fertile, and most of them are not in deep water areas, so they naturally become places where aquatic life is dense and fish habitats. It is of great benefit to choose fishing areas by visiting local residents as much as possible to understand the situation.

4. The water surface of the reservoir is generally large and deep. Even if fish fry are stocked, its density is always limited. Fishing within a circumference of several dozen miles is obviously difficult. Therefore, important measures are required. Choose an appropriate area and build a fish nest, otherwise the fish will not be able to gather together. Therefore, local residents in large reservoirs have the experience of feeding the nests at fixed points for several days in a row, and then using the same bait when feeding the nests. In fishing, as long as the bait is taken, it is a big fish. Some people even calculate it by the number of pounds of bait thrown and the number of fish caught.

So, go to the reservoir. Don't just try fishing. It usually takes a few more days to get a feel for the situation and build your own nest. If you come and go temporarily, you have to fish in other people's nests. Most of the fishing in the reservoir is done with sea rods, so be careful not to go underwater. Fish where there are trees to avoid losing the fishing line. In the underwater rocky area, the pendant should not be too heavy and the number of hooks should not be too many, otherwise it is easy to break the hook line.

Generally speaking, there are other tips for summer reservoir fishing:

1. Move frequently to lure fish to the hook. When the fishhook sinks to the bottom of the water, it is not entirely in an ideal position. Due to the complex geology under the water body, sometimes it happens to sink in rock crevices, on aquatic plants or under dead leaves. Sometimes it is covered by wooden pillars, hidden debris, or buried in small pits or mud. The fish cannot see the bait and are not suitable for feeding. Therefore, during fishing activities, once you find that the fish has been floating without movement for a long time, you should frequently lift the fishing rod and constantly change the position of the fishhook to increase the visual opportunities of the fish and lure the fish to take the bait.

2. Be flexible and attack in the east and west. Generally speaking, fishing targets cannot be defended. Even if the number of fish is scarce, or when waiting for a big fish, you cannot stand still. After catching a few fish in one den, you should hook up and down in another den; and in one den, you should also take care of the front, rear, left, and right positions. If there are no fish from several feeding dens for the time being, you should try fishing for swimming fish near or far away from the feeding dens or in other grass, and constantly change fishing locations. There is a saying in fishing that "one shot will change the place" and "one hammer in the east and a stick in the west", which has some truth.

3. Be brave to explore and practice boldly. Many fishermen are brave enough to explore and take risks. They climb cliffs, pass through dense forests, and swim through desert rivers. They practice boldly and dare to try fishing that others dare not touch. "Forbidden areas"; gaps between dense lotus leaves, areas with thick reeds, places with overgrown aquatic plants, and sides of fallen trees and slanting branches, often yield more harvests.

4. Harass the fish and force them to move back to the banks of rivers, ponds, and lakes for fishing. If the fish does not take the bait, you should harass them appropriately, or throw debris on the other side, or throw stones around. Blocks temporarily break the calmness of the water environment, forcing fish schools to swim, thereby achieving the purpose of driving fish to come for food.

Summer reservoir fishing skills 1. Be fully prepared

Before we go fishing, we must make corresponding preparations and we must put our reservoir The lighting equipment, fishing tackle, bait, food, drinks, etc. required for fishing are fully prepared and their quality and quantity are checked.

For example, whether the sea pole we bring is in good condition, whether the guide wheel, bomb hook, string hook, bell, and buzzer are complete; whether the hand pole bracket, net, line group, and float are complete.

Especially whether the bait and nest materials are sufficient. There are also auxiliary supplies for fishing, such as whether the tent’s other accessories are complete, whether the headlight has batteries, etc. Because the reservoir is far away from the city, if you are riding a motorcycle, be sure to bring fire glue, a pump, etc., in case of accidents. We should also check whether we have brought all the commonly used medicines we need, as well as essential oils and pesticides to repel mosquitoes. As the saying goes, "Be prepared and be prepared." With adequate preparation, we will not be affected by the lack of these and other things after arriving at the fishing spot, which will affect the smooth progress of fishing.

Summer reservoir fishing skills 2. Choose fishing positions scientifically

The selection of fishing positions in reservoirs is particularly important. The quality of fishing position selection directly affects our safety and the number of fish caught. The day before you go fishing, you should pay attention to the local weather forecast. In case of thunderstorms, it is recommended that you not go fishing. When fishing in a reservoir, the fishing position must first be in a place where people often cast their rods. Because fishermen often make nests here, the fish will have a memory of this place. If they know that there is food here, they will frequent it. , the fish gathering situation here is better than other places, so the fish here are easier to catch.

According to the fishing proverb "fishing deep in summer", our fishing position selection must be in a deeper place, but not too deep. Generally, the dam head of the reservoir is more than ten meters or tens of meters deep. , when we select a location, it is best to choose a depth of three to five meters, which is more appropriate. If you use a hand pole, it is best to choose a place with a water depth of one to two meters. We should also follow the principle of "long fishing waist" and choose a relatively narrow and protruding place. In summer, when the temperature is high, fish are easy to float up, so we should choose the fishing position in the shade or in a place covered by trees.

Summer reservoir fishing tips 3. Pay attention to the condition of nest materials and baits

Whether the bait selection is correct directly determines the fish catch. When fishing in a reservoir, you must bring enough nest materials. It is better to have more than lack. Because the water surface of the reservoir is too large and the number of fish is relatively small, it is difficult to gather fish. Only by making the nest heavier or making it in advance can the effect of luring fish be achieved. , if we don’t have time to make a nest in advance, we need to bring more nest materials when we go fishing temporarily to lure fish with heavy nests.

In addition, when fishing in reservoirs, in order to reduce costs, the nest material should not be too high-end. Some commercial bait can be added to the food to lure fish into the nest according to the target fish. Because the fish in the reservoir are not fed by dedicated people all year round, the taste requirements of the bait are not as strict as those of the fish in the pond. As long as they can eat it, they will swarm up to grab the food. To choose a slightly better fishing bait, the flavor must be stronger than that of the nest material. You can use commercial bait directly or add more commercial bait to the bad food for fishing.

Sea pole bombing - the bait on the bomb hooks and string hooks should be slightly sticky. If it is too loose, it will be difficult to throw. First, ensure that it can be thrown out. After 10 to 20 minutes, it will become foggy. It is more suitable to melt it, but it should not be too sticky and it will become a dead dough. If you take it back after an hour, it will still be a lump. When fishing in the reservoir in summer, you can also try grain bait, such as wheat, corn kernels, etc.

The reason is that summer is the wheat harvest season. When people are hauling and transporting wheat, the wheat scattered on the road will be blown to the reservoir by the wind, and the fish in the reservoir will remember it. Fruit bait will also have unexpected effects on catching grass carp. When the fruits next to the reservoir fall into the water when they are ripe, grass carp and other fish will also remember them. In short, when fishing in a reservoir, you need to use the right bait, understand the baits used by local fishing friends, and pay attention to trying other grain and fruit-based baits for trial fishing, that is, you must flexibly change the bait to get good fish. Get.

Tips for fishing in reservoirs in summer 4. Make nests in a concentrated manner

Repair nests in a timely manner. Fishing in reservoirs in summer is the same as fishing in ponds. You must first build nests to lure fish and gather fish together. Only by casting bait in a relatively concentrated range can the fish be caught. If you want to lure fish over in a huge water surface, you must first pay attention to the quality and quantity of the nest materials, and secondly, make the nests relatively concentrated, so as to achieve the purpose of luring fish.

Using a sea pole, you can directly throw the pole to make a nest. Some people use a small ferry or rubber boat to make a nest a few days in advance. If you are making a nest on the same day, you can open the nest material first and knead it into a fist-sized piece. Aim the bait ball at the reference object on the opposite side and throw it by hand to make a nest. This method requires us to use even force when throwing bait, and try to throw the bait ball into a circle with a diameter of about one meter.

In addition, when making nests for sea poles, you should pay attention to that the distance between the nests should be basically the same as the distance for inserting sea poles. The reason is that fishing with sea poles is far away, while fishing with hand poles is close. Therefore, we cannot require the sea pole to make nests as accurately as the hand pole. Of course, the more concentrated the better. Repairing the nest is the same as fishing in the pond as usual. When no fish is caught or there is no signal for an hour or two, it is necessary to consider repairing the nest.

However, since you cannot use a nest maker in the reservoir, you have to use throwing methods to make up the nest. The key point you need to master is to make it less often, and you can also make it within an hour. Once or twice, throw out two or three balls each time. Don't throw too many and too scattered at one time, causing the fish to come to the nest and only eat the bait in the nest instead of eating the bait on our hook. You can also make a fan-shaped nest to lure fishing based on the actual conditions of the reservoir.

Summer reservoir fishing skills 5. The operation must be scientific and fishing must be timely

Fishing with a sea pole in the reservoir is not as simple as some people think than fishing with a hand pole in the pond. Regardless of baiting, Whether making a nest, throwing a pole to walk the fish, or copying the fish, we must pay attention to science, be meticulous and conscientious, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted and the cooked duck will be released. I remember a few days ago, when we were casting our poles at Baidigou Reservoir in Baoji, two large carp weighing six or seven pounds escaped due to careless fishing twice in a row. It was really a pity.

Fish in reservoirs are generally larger than fish in ponds. Therefore, the fishing rods we use in reservoirs are softer and the line groups are slightly larger than those in ponds. Don’t be anxious after catching a fish. When exerting force, you should slowly turn the fish over before catching it to prevent the fish from escaping from the line due to anxious exertion or improper fishing method. The weather is hot in summer, so we usually go to the reservoir on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday afternoon. During such a long period of time, we need to have a more reasonable time arrangement.

For example, if we fish for a few hours in the morning and evening, if the weather gets hot at noon, we can instead use a hand pole to catch silver carp. Start fishing after five o'clock. At about ten o'clock in the evening, hang up the bell or buzzer on the sea pole, enter the tent to rest, and recharge your batteries for fishing early the next morning. What are the tips for fishing in reservoirs in summer Part 3

1. Favorable conditions

1. Suitable temperature

High temperatures during the day in summer have a great impact on the amount of dissolved oxygen The influence of dissolved oxygen (the impact of dissolved oxygen in water on fishing) directly affects the living conditions of fish. High temperature can easily cause hypoxia in the water, and fish will not look for food in this case. On the contrary, the temperature decreases at night, and the dissolved oxygen level increases when the temperature is low. The fish naturally feel comfortable, and under such circumstances, there will be times when they are looking for food.

2. Suitable water temperature

High air temperature will lead to high water temperature, especially the water temperature near the reservoir will rise faster and higher. When night falls and the temperature drops, so does the water temperature. When we fish in the reservoir during the day in summer, we all have the experience of feeling the water temperature is hot to the touch, but not at night. This time is often just right for fish to find food.

3. Suitable light

On a sunny summer day, the sun is strong during the day and the illumination time is long. The shadows of trees and people are reflected in the water, which will affect the fish. The water quality of the reservoir we fish in is so clear that you can still see the bottom a few meters away. Fish will not come near the shore during the day. They only dare to come up to look for food at night when the light is dim.

4. Noisy during the day and quiet at night

This is the most important reason. Crucian carp is timid by nature, especially the larger ones. They dive into deep water to escape the heat during the day and are too lazy to speak. Wait until the environment is quiet at night and the temperature and water temperature are suitable before going out to look for food. Therefore, as long as you seize the right opportunity and the right place, fishing for big crucian carp at night (techniques for catching big fish in reservoirs) will definitely yield ideal results.

2. Reference on fishing methods

1. When choosing a fishing spot, focus on "smallness". When choosing a fishing spot, you must "find" frequently

Fishing at night Where? We usually follow two principles: First, go fishing in a fishing ground that you are familiar with, and there are very few people there. Most of these fishing grounds are in places with inconvenient transportation. Only in this way can we catch more large crucian carp. The purpose of fishing is very simple. There are naturally more people going to places with convenient roads, and it is difficult to fish in places with many people. The second is to choose smaller places such as small net gates, earth gates or small reservoirs. Such a place is small in area, fish are relatively concentrated and dense, and the fishing effect is better. If you fish at night in a particularly large area of ​​water, because the area is too large, the fish will scatter in all directions and the density will decrease, making it difficult to catch them. Choosing a smaller place is the principle we always adhere to for night fishing. After arriving at the specific fishing ground, fishermen need to carefully search for specific fishing spots. According to the author's experience, the most ideal fishing spots are near the mountain shore, where the water depth is about 3 meters, and the bottom is sandy but relatively flat. Such places often look steep from the outside, but they are not. Familiarity with fishing grounds is a prerequisite for finding such a place, otherwise you can only test it yourself. Other places such as near both sides of the dam, the mouth of the mountain protruding toward the reservoir, and the edges with piles of stones, etc., but the general requirement is to be close to the middle and lower reaches of the reservoir, and the important point is that the water level must be deep, and fishing at the deep side at night is , there are more big crucian carps.

2. When choosing fishing gear, the emphasis is on "shortness", and when choosing fishing gear, the emphasis is on "thinness"

It is a quiet night with few people, which is when fish look for food near the shore. In view of this characteristic, when choosing fishing tackle, you can focus on "short and thin". "Short" means short pole. We usually use a hand rod of 3.6-4.5 meters. The advantage of using a short rod is that it is easy to operate, the landing point is accurate, and the angler is relaxed. The landing point of such a short pole is just right from the water to the edge of the water, not far but not close, just right. It is very suitable for fishing deep-side large crucian carp at night. "Thin" means using thin lines. There are no specific standards, everyone’s understanding is different, and the fish conditions in different places are different, so there will be differences. According to my personal understanding, when fishing at night in the reservoir, the catch is not a single fish, especially at high temperatures. Other fish are also very active, and their frequent visits are a severe test for the rod, line and fisherman. In view of this, when we choose a line group, the main line should be between No. 1-1.5, and the brain line should decrease accordingly, so that both size and size can be taken into consideration.

Delicacy is relative, and it is crucial to treat specific situations in detail.

3. When choosing fishing bait, the focus is on "fineness" and "bait rubbing" is good.

Bait for night fishing is also an important step that cannot be ignored. There are a dazzling variety of fishing baits on the market. The choice of fishing bait (reservoir fishing bait formula) must be determined based on the fish and water conditions at the time. At this time, it is better to choose light bait with the original flavor and fragrance of crops. Just choose one or two of them. Avoid boiling meat and vegetables with fishy smell in one pot. When using it, it is best to prepare it according to the ratio of bait to water. Because the water is deep and the sinking process is long, in order to extend the time for the bait to attach to the hook, a small amount of wire drawing powder can be added. Pulling bait atomizes quickly, which is especially easy to attract small miscellaneous fish and silver carp and bighead carp. Sometimes the bait is gone before the hook reaches the bottom, so it is recommended to rub bait for fishing. The bait balls kneaded out should be uniform in size and moderately soft and hard, so as to achieve better results.

4. When catching well, focus on the "two ends", rest cleverly, and put it in the "middle"

When fishing for big crucian carp at night, you can only catch it wisely, not attack by force. Judging from our experience in night fishing, there are two very important time periods that fishermen can focus on: one is 8-10 pm; the other is 4-7 am the next morning. These two time periods are the peak times for catching fish, and most of them are crucian carp, including many larger crucian carps. Anglers can concentrate their efforts and make focused attacks in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Of course, nothing is absolute. When fishing at night, you can catch crucian carp only during these two times. Not only crucian carp can be caught during these two time periods, but other fish can also be caught. However, relatively speaking, crucian carp can be caught at this time. The probability is just higher. Then during this period, fishermen can take advantage of it to take a good rest, recharge their batteries, and wait for work. When fishing at night, catching both ends and placing them in the middle is a wise and effective scientific method.

5. When choosing the weather, the most important thing is "sunny"; it is better to look at the wind direction "downward"

The weather depends on the people and the sky, and night fishing also depends on the weather. Generally speaking, sunny days are the most advantageous. Not only is it convenient to travel, but after evening, the temperature begins to drop and the water temperature gradually drops. The fish that had fled to the deep water area during the day without eating have retreated from the deep water to the water's edge to eat at this time. Quick and easy to take the bait. Another point worth noting is that if there is a level 1-3 wind before dusk, the effect will be better that night. According to experience, if there is wind on a sunny day, it will probably stop at night. It is better to have wind than no wind. When there is wind, there is sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water and the activity of fish increases. If you fish in the downwind position, you will definitely have good results.

6. When fishing big bait, it is better to be quiet; pay attention to details and have good lighting.

When fishing big bait at night, details determine success. There are two points worth noting: First, it is necessary to minimize the noise caused by walking back and forth, and fishermen should not make loud noises among themselves. Keep the environment of the fishing ground quiet and create a good atmosphere for Bigfoot to forage near the shore. This is very critical. Fishermen must pay attention; the second issue is night fishing lighting. At present, there are many kinds of lighting tools for night fishing, and their usage is different. In my personal experience, the lighting effect is better when using lamps. If you use lights for lighting, you don’t have to re-adjust the float and can continue during the day; dim lights can also play a magical role in luring fish to a certain extent. But one thing to note is that when using light for lighting, it is best not to turn it off after turning it on at the beginning, and do not let the light swing around. The light should not be extinguished for a long time, and should always shine on the fishing point without moving away. ;The light should not be too strong, it should be dim and dim, and the float should be visible.

7. Fishing at night is fun and considerate; safety must be kept in mind

Fishing in summer nights is refreshing, but in order for night fishing to proceed smoothly, preparation before fishing cannot be ignored. , the required items must be sorted one by one, checked, and cannot be left behind. Special attention should be paid to arriving before dark, so that you can have enough time to prepare for night fishing, from selecting fishing positions, preparing line groups, adjusting floats, making fishing bait to placing other related items. It is more convenient to deal with it before dark, otherwise it will be very passive. Don’t be careless when it comes to safety when fishing at night. Go in groups and take strict precautions against mosquito bites. These things other than fishing also have a major impact on night fishing. Fishing friends need to keep this in mind and not be careless.
