Practice of Monopterus albus bait: Earthworms are strung together with iron wires and inserted into holes dug in the ground. Once the eel bites, it won't let go. There are about five or six bugs in each hole.
First, the main habits of Monopterus albus:
Monopterus albus belongs to fish, compositae This is a scaleless fish. Mainly distributed in the east and south of Asia. Except the western plateau of China. It's everywhere. It doesn't like to swim around. It usually stays in a cool and humid cave to rest and comes out for food at night. Sometimes it comes out during the day, but it is less. Sometimes it can be seen sticking its head out to breathe on the surface of the water and then quickly diving into the water. The eel cave is generally located under rivers and lakes, ponds, ponds and canal banks, with a smooth entrance, which is generally 1-2 fingers wide and easy to identify. Cracks in stone slope protection are also shelters for eels.
Second, the fishing method:
There are many fishing methods for Monopterus albus, and different places often have their own unique fishing methods. Occasionally, when fishing for carp and crucian carp, you will encounter eels. But it is usually near the gap of stone slope protection in tanggou. If it is specially designed for eel fishing, it is often made by special tools.
You can choose a steel wire with a length of 0.5 m and a diameter of 0.9- 1.2 mm, one end of which is sharpened and bent into a hook shape, and the other end is bent into a circle, and the two directions are best consistent. Steel wire can also be embedded in the stick, but it must be embedded firmly. Find the eel hole before fishing, and then get off the hook when you find the eel hole.
Earthworms are mostly used as bait for fishing Monopterus albus, and the bigger and thicker the better. Put the bait on the hook and find the eel hole, then you can put the hook in the hole. Put it in the hole. Push and pull slowly up and down to lure eels to the bait. If the eel eats the fishhook, it should be pushed inward to make the fishhook fully enter the mouth, then it should be pulled out of the hole at an angle, and the eel's neck should be held with the other hand in time to raise the fishhole.
Another method is to choose a hook with a loop and tie it to a fishing line about 70 cm long above No.5, and the other end of the fishing line is tied to the center of a small stick 15 cm long. Send the hook into the hole with a fork, then straighten the line, put the stick on the ground and mark it. If there is any abnormality, you will know that a fish is eating the hook. Get out in time.
In both ways, be careful not to use too much force when pulling the hook, so as not to open the fish mouth.
April-10 is a good season for eel fishing every year. Midsummer is the golden season. It was better before the thunderstorm. It is best to fish before 9 am and after 4 pm in a day.
