It is best to avoid the cold wind and choose sunny weather to go fishing. It is best to choose south wind or southwest wind, with wind force of 2-3 (generally warmer in winter) and temperature of 10℃- 15℃. Even if it is not sunny and cloudy, as long as there is no biting wind, there will be no severe cold and extreme cold. This weather is usually suitable for fishing. If the cold wind blows and the water freezes, it is not appropriate to drag the fishing method.
2. Matching of fishing gear
Rod, generally 6.3-7.2 meters soft rod adjustment. Hook, with pill-shaped hook No.6, slightly longer handle and thinner hook strip. Use a light drop to slow down the sinking speed of the bait hook as much as possible. The thread is 0.6-0.8 strong thread. Drift with a small seven stars. This matched fishing group is more in line with the characteristics of slow and careful eating of crucian carp in winter, which is both hidden and highly sensitive. In order to prevent the hook from hanging on the bottom and reduce the line loss of the hook, it is best to bring a small anchor with you (both in fishing gear shops and stalls).
3. Bait selection
The best bait is the little red earthworm or the red worm, because the big earthworm is useless because of the small hook. Because the fishing method (also known as walking fishing method) is implemented, the liquidity is relatively large, so it is necessary to equip a small box for placing earthworms or red worms that is easy to carry around.
4. Choice of fishing place
Generally, fishermen don't put cages for catching fish and shrimp in the river in winter, but farmers along the river usually need to repair the cages before winter comes. However, in the process of pruning trees, some branches landed on the shore, while others fell into the water. Branches falling into the water are very happy for fish, because they can keep out the cold and have good concealment, and other small creatures who love fish are also happy to stay here. So fish regard this place as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and often stay here.
However, when fishing in these places, you should be extra careful. If you are not careful, you will easily regret it. In order to ensure safe and smooth fishing and avoid giving you trouble, it is best to choose "three no" waters, that is, open waters without obstacles such as aquatic plants and tall aquatic plants.
5. Fishing methods
Fishing in open water is actually a way to tease fishing. When you choose a good fishing spot, first determine what bait to use. If you use the little red earthworm, you'd better choose the size of a matchstick. You can also use a whole earthworm about 5 cm long to pierce the hook. If it is too long, you should cut it off. If red worms are used as bait, four red worms can be selected to penetrate through the head, and then 1 small red worm can be used to wrap the hook tip. This method of biting red worms is more convenient and quick, saves less bait and has a good effect of attracting fish. Of course, you can also choose a single-tailed red worm to wear a hook alone.
Next, gently throw the bait hook into the water, and slowly drag it obliquely after it sinks to the bottom of the water, which can be dragged from left to right or _ far back. When the bait hook is dragged from the water surface to the depth of 1/2, let it sink freely and slowly, and generally repeat it every 30 seconds or so.
In the process of towing fishing, once a fish bites a hook, it floats slowly, and there are few cases of translation and feeding. Whether it is black drift, translation or feeding, don't lift the pole immediately. Lifting the pole after 5 seconds can reduce the empty hook rate. Because fish eat slowly in winter, generally speaking, it is better to lift the pole later than earlier.
