Crucian carp can be divided into two types from the use: one is edible crucian carp and the other is ornamental crucian carp. We usually catch mostly edible crucian carp, which has many varieties. There are many high-quality crucian carp with local characteristics in China, such as Pengze crucian carp, Xiang crucian carp, Tianxia crucian carp and Jingbo crucian carp. In addition, there are many different kinds of crucian carp in the local area.
Because crucian carp has strong adaptability to water temperature, it can fish all year round, and midsummer is of course a good time to catch crucian carp. In spring, when fishing in the wild, crucian carp is the first to bite the hook; In late autumn, most fish are banned, but it is more distinctive to catch cold-water crucian carp in autumn. In the frozen water season, the main target fish is crucian carp. There is another characteristic of crucian carp. Whether it is a large reservoir or a small ditch with only pots and bowls of water, it can be seen everywhere. Therefore, many crucian carp lovers say: the land is divided into north and south, and the water is big or small. As long as you get off the pole, you won't be disappointed.
Bite characteristics: drift
Fish bite the hook and float, some of which are called bow support, which is the main feature of crucian carp bite the hook. Some people say that crucian carp "swims with its tail pursed and its head raised with its hook". When it bites the hook and looks up, the float will rise. Its performance is consistent regardless of waters and seasons. Fishermen regard this characteristic of drifting as the main basis for judging whether crucian carp bites. Of course, bleaching is not a patent for crucian carp. Grass carp and bream have the habit of drifting upwards, even carp that love to pull "black drift" sometimes violate the rules. But other fish have other characteristics, not as slippery as crucian carp.
Carassius auratus is floated with water temperature, oxygen content in water, fatty degree of water, and hunger degree of fish, which is high or low. If the external conditions such as water temperature are suitable and the crucian carp is big and hungry, then it floats fast and high, and vice versa. Such as spring and autumn season and ice fishing crucian carp, as long as the drift gently, there will be fish in the pole. Therefore, at this time, when fishing crucian carp, we should choose the most sensitive drift, and the fisherman should focus on the drift and be quick of eye and load. Otherwise, the crucian carp spits bait and the information disappears.
With the different fishing methods of crucian carp, the drifting state also changes. If the fishing method of long brain line and hanging pendant is adopted, the performance of drifters is mostly "black drift"; If you use a short brain thread with a bottom pendant, it will float, that is, the sky hook will float with seven stars, the crucian carp will bite the hook, and the floating beans will also arch upwards.
Requirements for fishing gear: light and exquisite.
Carassius auratus is small, so when selecting and assembling fishing tackle, we should make preparations around the words light, thin and clever.
Light: Use a hand pole, and be light, because the frequency of throwing the pole is high when fishing for crucian carp. The fishermen's fatigue can be imagined by lifting the pole hundreds of times a day. Therefore, it is generally appropriate to choose a rod with a length of 3.6 meters to 4.5 meters, and even a short rod with a length of 2.7 meters can be selected. A short pole must be light. If carbon fiber rods are used again, they will be lighter and more flexible. ?
Thin: that is, the fishing line and hook should be thin. Catch crucian carp with a line. The thinner the better, the more sensitive. If you catch two small crucian carp under 50 grams, match the thinnest line. If you catch more than 500 grams of big crucian carp, the line should be bold. When fishing crucian carp, you should choose hook 1 ~ 5 according to the size of the fish. And the hook tape should be thin. As the fish sucks, the small hook can enter the fish's mouth with the water. It is best to choose a hook without barbs. Some anglers think that barb-free hooks love to run away from fish, and they always feel insecure when using them. In fact, if you walk the fish with a barb-free hook, as long as the line does not sag, the fish can't get rid of the hook. The hook without barb is fast, especially for fishing small fish, which is very convenient, and many fast hook picking methods can be evolved with it. There is no barbed hook to hang clothes or hook people, so it is very convenient to return the hook. ?
Ling: Besides the sensitivity brought by the thin thread hook, there must be a sensitive drift. Another way to gain sensitivity is to match horses correctly. However, in actual fishing, it is not enough to be sensitive. Under the condition of normal water temperature and air pressure and sufficient oxygen in the water, fish swim quickly and jump around, forming water flow at the edge of the bait, which is a particularly sensitive drift. At this time, it will be affected by the current, and there will be no fish in the pole. Sometimes, when encountering wind and waves, too sensitive drifting will be affected, and even drifters will drift with the tide. In these cases, a dull drift is particularly suitable, so when fishing, you must choose the corresponding fishing tackle according to the actual situation and adopt the appropriate fishing skills. ?
In addition, "sensitivity" is also related to other issues: for example, "firmness" and "sensitivity" are sometimes a pair of contradictions, and firmness is often synonymous with dullness. The thicker the line, the bigger the hook and the greater the fishing power, which of course means dull. But now there are many high-quality hooks and threads, which are easy to solve, but cost more money. "Sensitivity" is also related to the physical condition of the fisherman. The fine-pointed wind drift is very sensitive, but the fisherman's eyesight is not good, so there must be a good drift. Sometimes his eyes can see, but his hands can't keep up. Also in vain. So there are many other factors to consider when pursuing sensitivity. ?
Fishing methods of crucian carp:
Hanging a whole set of Taiwan Province fishing method with long brain thread is one of the most suitable techniques to catch crucian carp. There are also many good ways to catch crucian carp in folk fishing techniques. For example, short brain thread with single hook, double hook, shoulder pole hook, bottom-wiping pendant (through the combination of floating pendant, the pendant seems to stick to the bottom) is also very sensitive. Hooking the sky and floating the stars is also a must in fishing skills. The "three pokes" made by long pole and short line-hole poking, arch poking and stubble poking-are all effective ways to catch crucian carp (the three pokes are also applicable to catch other fish).
Fishing crucian carp with small hook raft is a good way to fish cold crucian carp in deep water in autumn. If there are withered grass and rotten leaves at the bottom of the water, use a sea pole with a "box lunch". It is also an effective method.
