In the cold winter, it is really not an easy thing to catch fish from the river. Experienced fishing friends think it is very simple, but those who do not know how to fish find it very difficult. Therefore, fishing in winter is as commonplace for the Air Force. So is it really that difficult to catch fish in winter? In fact, it is not the case. Catfish such as crucian carp and carp are easier to catch in winter than in other seasons. If we cannot catch them, it can only be said that we made technical mistakes during fishing, which led to the inability to catch fish. Let’s talk about some common mistakes made by newbies fishing for crucian carp in winter.
1. Didn’t choose the right fishing position at the beginning?
Most fishing friends have the same view, thinking that as long as the bait or resources are good, they can catch fish anywhere, but this is not the case. Resources and bait are only a basis for fishing. Without fishing technology, it will not be of much use. Just like everyone fishing together, with the same resources and bait, others can catch it, but they themselves will get very little!
When fishing crucian carp in winter, it is very important to choose the fishing position. The first consideration when fishing should be the temperature of the water. The temperature is low in winter, and only those places with obstacles, aquatic plants, bays and other shelters from the wind are warmer, and the water temperature is higher than other places. Naturally, there are fish at the bottom of the water to avoid the cold. If you want to catch fish, you must choose the right fishing position, otherwise no matter how good your bait is, it will be in vain.
2. The water depth of the fishing position should be appropriate
The deeper the water level, the warmer it is in winter. If you ask a veteran how to fish in winter, they will tell you to look for deep water, which hides fish, but no one will tell you how deep to fish! When it comes to the appropriate fishing depth, there are certain advantages in choosing a deep place to fish crucian carp in winter, but this is not absolute and mainly depends on the current environment. There is a big difference in temperature in the morning, noon and afternoon in winter. When the water temperature rises, the depth of the fishing point must also change. Because the temperature is changing and the water depth is different, the water temperature will also change accordingly. Once the fish senses the fluctuation of water temperature, they will move. Therefore, fishing crucian carp in winter cannot only require fishing depth.
3. Fishing groups can be small instead of large.
Every fishing season, the line groups, hooks, etc. we use must change accordingly. The impact of fish in winter is not as strong as in other seasons. For example, if we can catch two kilograms of fish with a 1.0 sub-line in summer, then it will not be a big problem to catch four kilograms of fish in winter. The power of the fish can be halved. I saw a fishing friend using a 3-pull and 2-line set to catch crucian carp in winter. As a result, the connecting rods on the side kept coming, and he was complaining. This is because he did not know how to make reasonable adjustments according to the needs of the season. When fishing crucian carp in winter, try to use a small hook and a thin line set.
4. Pay attention to the meat and vegetables in the bait.
The meat and vegetables should be considered in the bait we use in winter. It needs to be changed according to the fish caught in winter. If the bait is not used correctly, no matter how hard you use the bait, no fish will care about it. When fishing in winter, you should pay attention to the fishy aroma. If you make your own bait, it is best to add some meaty and fishy additives. If you don’t want to bother, it is recommended to use commercial bait with good taste. As for fishing bait, meaty bait is even better. earthworm bait and red worm bait are the best. Of course, this is not fixed, because fish conditions and environments vary from place to place, so it is best to choose according to local conditions.
Fishing for crucian carp in winter is not as difficult as you think. Many fishing friends close their poles early as soon as winter comes and wait for the coming year. In fact, it is very simple as long as you master some skills of winter fishing. Winter is a good season for fishing big crucian carp. Old fishermen wait for this time of year to show off their skills. If they miss it, they can only wait another year. I believe everyone can return with a full harvest if they learn a little.
