1. Catfish like Spring outing. In spring, catfish begin to swim to the grass in shallows or rivers to feed. Because of its habit of dim light, it experienced a winter hunger, and then it had to breed. A large number of physiological needs make it have to swim to the shallows to find food to satisfy hunger and replenish energy. Some fishing friends asked why catfish are afraid of light and come out for food in bright spring. This is because the sunshine in spring is only oblique and the light is not strong. In addition, the recovery of various insects naturally forms a good opportunity for catfish to hunt, which is why the catch in spring is greater than that in summer and autumn.
Catfish rest during the day and come out at night. Catfish spend a long time in deep water, especially after spring, when the temperature rises, the habit of resting during the day and coming out at night is more obvious. Catfish dive into the deep water during the day and haunt the shallows at night. The reasons are: first, it can avoid the sun exposure in summer and autumn; Second, it can increase the safety factor and avoid human interference; Three can prey on small fish and shrimp that are active at night.
Catfish are good at catching live bait. Although catfish's vision is degraded and low, its hearing and smell are particularly sensitive. The sound of people's activities as big as tens of meters away, as small as the sound of fish, shrimp and insects falling into the water, will be "all heard." Data show that catfish can detect the environment and bait more than ten meters away only by the tactile and olfactory nerve tissues of a few whiskers.
Catfish like rainy days. Every rainy day, wind and rain make it difficult for people to walk, pedestrians are scarce, and there is silence everywhere, reducing human interference. The quiet environment and current, coupled with the turbidity of the water, add concealment to the catfish's actions.
Catfish like to eat animal viscera. Catfish like to eat meat, but they prefer to eat the internal organs of animals such as poultry and livestock. First, the visceral odor of poultry and livestock is unique, which can cater to the sensitive sense of smell of catfish; Second, catfish often eat shrimp from eat small fish, so it is better to eat fresh animal viscera; Third, the fishy smell of the internal organs of poultry and livestock spreads quickly in the water.
6. Catfish live in groups and like to hide in complex terrain. Catfish like to live in complex terrain such as rocks, weeds, stumps and caves. It is precisely because it makes full use of the concealment of the terrain or its unexpected hunting that it doesn't give up this geomantic treasure.
7. Catfish like a dangerous and quiet environment. This is because the characteristics of catfish are ignored. The less people, the more secluded virgin land and steep terrain, the more likely it is to be the hometown of catfish under the steep cliff. Because the more inaccessible the place, the safer the catfish will feel.
8. Catfish like to feed in the estuary. The best time to catch catfish in autumn is at the entrance and exit of flood after heavy rain. Catfish have swam to the entrance and exit of the reservoir to taste the "Man-Han banquet" brought by the flood.
9. Catfish like to look for active waters. Because of the good dissolved oxygen in active waters, many small fish and shrimps have been attracted to feed before. Most of the domestic water is the water inlet, which has a lot of fresh food. Catfish make full use of this predation environment, often hiding behind water plants and rocks, waiting patiently for the arrival of prey.
10. Catfish like to swim in caves. Catfish like weak light and are afraid of strong light, so they often swim freely in bridge culverts, small power station outlets, spillways and natural caves. It chooses this terrain. First, it is convenient to transfer in case of danger. Second, the luminosity can be adjusted freely without exposure; Thirdly, there are a lot of small fish and shrimp in the running water, which provides enough food for catfish to survive. So catfish are happy to live and work in caves.
The above ten characteristics do not explain the real survival characteristics of catfish. If fishermen can initially master the habits of catfish, think and sum up according to the local actual situation and their own fishing experience, they will certainly find out the experience of successfully fishing catfish.
