Second, homemade fishing tackle: fishing tackle for eels in caves should be made by yourself. Sharpen the handle with a 50 cm short bamboo pole (inserted into the soil next to the hole). Use an old bicycle steel wire, one end of which is sharpened and bent into a No.3 long handle hook, and the other end is bent into a circle. Then use a 2-meter-long No.3 strong nylon wire, one end of which is tied to the top of the short bamboo pole, and the other end is tied to the steel wire loop. This kind of fishing tackle can make 10 ~ 20 pairs.
Third, find eels: eels are afraid of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Eels are difficult to find in fields and reservoirs in plain areas, and can only be found in mountain ponds and mud fields on the side of mountains in valleys. Because the pool water is composed of mountain water and underground spring water, the water quality is clear, which is a good place for eels to hide, breed and grow. Eel caves are generally 10 ~ 20cm from the shore surface, round, upright and inclined, and the caves are wet or have water. The soil around the cave is smooth and fishy. You can see traces of eels coming in and out. You can know the size of the eel from the size of the hole. When fishing, as long as you find a fresh cave for eels, you can catch them as sure as a gun.
4. Fishing method: The method of fishing eel is different from that of fishing other fish. Cave fishing is mainly used, and there are two kinds of fishing methods. First, the fisherman inserted a short bamboo pole into the soil of the cave and threw the line, hook and bait into the cave. In this fishing method, it is advisable to choose a large mountain pond or several caves where eels are hiding and fish in the mud at the foot of the mountain. Because a cave can only use one pair of fishing gear. There are many caves, so 10 pairs of fishing tackle can come in handy. The fisherman threw the bait into the cave, then inserted the fishing rod and walked back and forth, lifting the hooks one by one as he walked. As long as the eel in the hole bites the hook to death, he can lift the pole. The second is the single hook fishing method, in which the angler holds the long-handled steel wire hook with his hand, puts on earthworm or maggot bait and directly inserts it into the cave where the eel is hiding. The action should be light, and slowly shake up and down to lure the eel to bite the hook. Generally speaking, eels are greedy. As long as they smell the fishy smell, they will raise their heads and drag the bait down. At this point, the fisherman will feel comfortable, so he should immediately push the long-handled hook forward, twist the hook angle, firmly hook the eel, and put forward the hole to fish. There are tricks to fishing eel hooks. Put the whole earthworm into the long-handled hook, don't show the tip of the hook, and don't leave a section of earthworm outside the hook. Otherwise, if eels only eat earthworms, it will be difficult to catch them. Eels feed on their sense of smell. After the angler inserts the long-handled hook bait into the cave, he has to pull it up and down for about one minute at a time to lure the eel into the bait. Don't lift the pole violently when you feel the eel is hooked. Because the long-handled steel wire hook has no elasticity, if the force is too strong, the eel can easily unhook and escape.
5. Precautions: Eels are slippery with mucus. After taking the bait, you'd better put on gloves, grab the eel's neck with your forefinger and middle finger, unhook it and put it in the basket. Because eels live alone, after catching one in this hole, there will be no more eels, so we should move the eels to another hole with eels, and seal the hole where the eels were caught with mud to avoid coming back to this hole.
Have a nice day,
Question 2: Please tell me how to catch eel. When I was a child, I fished at night, all in the small ditch between the fields. Now there are fewer eels. You can see this during the day, which means that there are many eels, so it is better to cook them at night. At night, the head of Monopterus albus will surface, just like floating on a flat surface. Anyway, at night, we can see the head of Monopterus albus by lightning. The method is as follows: a nylon wire with a length of 1-2 meters, 5- 10 black earthworms tied at one end, tied into an earthworm circle with a knot, and the other end of the nylon wire tied to a pole, any pole will do, as long as it can reach the place of the eel. When you see Monopterus albus, hang the earthworm ring with a pole and put it into the water at the head of Monopterus albus 10- 15 cm. Put it gently, not too deep, just put the earthworm circle in the water, and don't disturb the eel. Within 5-30 seconds, the eel will bite the earthworm ring and drag it down, so just lift the pole to hang the eel ashore and copy it with a fine net fish. It usually bites very tightly. This method is simple and feasible. Any nylon thread will do, as long as it can pass through the abdomen of the earthworm, any pole will do. Don't tell me whether you use a rock pole or a sea pole. You can use branches, hehe ... you won't use dragon thread to pierce earthworms, will you? It is easy to satisfy. Use a thin iron wire to lead out the nylon thread (just like sewing needle leads) and then thread the earthworm. Now you will, right? Not yet, then hit the south wall with your head 20 times, and the strength will be subject to a small bag appearing on your head.

Draw a nylon thread with a thin iron wire (just like a sewing needle lead) and wear an earthworm. Now you will, right? Not yet, then hit the south wall with your head 20 times, and the strength will be subject to a small bag appearing on your head.
Question 4: How to catch Monopterus albus? Can you catch it now? I caught it when I was a child, but now the wild ones are basically gone. There is a special kind of hook, the bait is earthworm, just put it in the hole and wait for the bait.
Question 5: Where can I catch eel relatives, rice fields, ditches in rice fields, rice fields?
Question 6: The best time to fish eels Summer is a good season to fish eels. Digging eel is a technical job, which many people can't do. Before digging, you should find a hole beside the ridge of the rice field. The eel hole is slightly below the water surface and the surface is smooth. Don't dig that rough hole, it may be a snake hole. If there are many small bubbles sticking together in the hole, it means there must be eels in the hole, and they are not small. The process of digging out is to probe along the hole with your fingers. When you probe, you should carefully observe the movements before, after, left and right. In fact, eels also have two or three holes. When you pull out one, the eel in the hole will slip away from the other hole when it finds the invasion of foreign enemies. Once you find the eel slipping out of the hole, you must be quick of eye and quick of hand, put your forefinger and middle finger together and grab the eel from the water. Catching eels in water is a skill, which needs to be fast enough, accurate enough, tough enough and strong enough. Adults may not catch eels swimming in the water at once, so sometimes eels run out and it takes a long time for the eels catcher to catch them. When I was a child, because of my weak strength, the slightly older eels were easy to break free even if they were caught in their hands. Let's talk about fishing eel. The best place to catch eels is in ponds or ditches, where the water is deep and the eels are big. It is useless to dig them out because you can't catch them. Fishing eel is not a common hook for fishing crucian carp, but a steel wire (mostly umbrella bone) about a foot long, which is sharpened and bent into a hook. When fishing, put a big earthworm on this long hook and put it into the eel hole. Then you pat the water on the edge of the eel hole with your fingers, and make a sound to draw the eel out. In the process of coming out of the hole, the eel will meet the delicious food delivered to the door. But eels don't eat easily. You should be patient enough to wait for the baby in the hole to bite. Once hooked, you need to drag the hook out hard, and then quickly put the eel into the bamboo basket. Finally, talk about eels. The so-called trapping is to trap with a special bamboo cage. Bamboo cage is a popular saying. We call it milli there. Millie is woven with bamboo strips, with one big end and one small end plugged with a cork. The big end is a funnel-shaped entrance, and the tail of the funnel is inward and pointed, so the eel can't get out when it goes in. We have a two-part allegorical saying here: eels can go in, but they can't get out. You should put the bait in the bait before you go fishing. The bait is a short reed pole, folded in half, caught with one or two big earthworms, and then tied with straw. After putting the bait, put Millie by the water at dusk. When you put it, put the small one out of the water and the big one in the water to avoid drowning the eel that has slipped into the water. After you put it away, pull some grass nearby and cover it in your hair as a disguise. After all the work is done, you can go back to sleep with peace of mind, just remember to get up early the next day and get back a dime.
Question 7: It is estimated that it is not easy to catch eel bicycle wheels. It is best to use umbrella ribs (round wire), then sharpen one end with a millstone or grinding wheel, and then bend it into the shape and size of a fishhook with a vise under the heating of candlelight. The parts that are not sharpened are also slightly bent with a vise to facilitate hand holding.
The general shape is as shown above, and the length is generally 40 to 50 cm. Some gaps may be deep, so you can get a longer hook. When fishing, it is advisable to string an earthworm at the end of the hook, but the earthworm is generally thicker. Then you can send the hook to the hole where the eel may be, rotate it a little or smoke it a little, and imitate the action of earthworm to lure the eel to the bait. When you feel the eel bite you, pull out the hook and hold it. After you come out of the hole, you'd better hold the middle and upper part of the eel with your right hand to prevent you from escaping. At this time, you can usually eat eels. Sometimes when you meet a big eel with great strength, you have to be prepared. Prepare a container deep enough to hold eels with a small amount of water, otherwise it will be easy to escape, and it will be a pity if it escapes. Moreover, big eels are sometimes very cunning. They can come back in a few days without biting for a few minutes or a long time, and the weather also affects the biting speed. Generally, most round holes in rice fields are eel holes, which are relatively easy to catch, but the size is small. Fortunately, I can meet a relatively large eel hole in the ditch, and I can even see the head of an eel in the hole. It's usually easier to take the bait. It is generally difficult to fish in the pond, mainly because the caves are in crevices, many crevices are empty, and only a few have eels, but many eels caught in the pond are as big as their heads.
Please teach me the experience of this hard code word. This is my experience in fishing eels for nearly ten years when I was a child. If you have more questions, you can ask me. I started fishing for eels after school in the second grade of primary school, and I didn't catch much until I was far from home in high school. Now I still go home and often fish, but there are fewer eels now.
Question 8: How to catch eel? The longest explanation of skills and methods of fishing Monopterus albus can reach 1 meter. The front and back of the body are flat and the tail is pointed. The head is long and round. Big mouth, terminal position, slightly protruding upper jaw, well-developed lips. There are fine teeth on the upper and lower jaws and flap bones. Eyes are small and covered with a thin layer of skin. The head is thick and the tail is thin, and the body surface is protected by smooth mucosa, without scales and yellow-brown. The body has irregular black spots, and the underdeveloped fins basically disappear. There is only one triangular thorn in the whole body, less thorns and thicker meat. The meat is tender and delicious.
They often live in the mud bottom of rice fields, rivers, streams, ponds, canals, lakes and so on. , and produced in all parts of China, especially in China Yangtze River valley, Liaoning, Tianjin and other places, the production period is 6- 10, and the most fertile is June-August. Widely distributed in eastern Asia and nearby islands, starting from Southeast Asia in the west, reaching the Philippine Islands in the east, reaching Japan in the north and east indies in the south.
Fishing gear and preliminary preparation
We don't need our ordinary fishing rod, hook, line and bait to catch eels. Fishing tackle shops can't buy special fishing tackle. We need to make our own simple fishing gear. Go to the bicycle repair booth on the street, ask the mechanic for the two thinnest steel wire spokes, grind the screws into sharp needles with a grinding wheel, burn the needle tip with candles or torches after returning home, and then bend the needle tip into a special hook for fishing eels with pliers. When two steel wire hooks are bent and formed, it is necessary to burn all the hook heads of the two steel wire hooks red, and then slowly insert them into cold water for quenching. After quenching, test the tension of the hook. When the load reaches 3 ~ 4 kilocarats, the hook handle can be finalized and assembled.
The special hook handle for fishing Monopterus albus should be made of elastic and flexible bamboo tips or pieces, with thick little fingers at the upper end and thick chopsticks at the lower end, 40-50 cm long and 10cm away from the lower end. To drill a small hole horizontally, bend the big end of the special hook (bicycle spoke), put it into the groove through the small hole in the hook handle (a groove can be carved under the small hole in the bamboo hook handle), and then take an old fishing line. The total length of the bamboo hook handle and the steel wire hook (28 cm) should be kept at 60-70 cm. It is best to explore the hole to catch eels, or forcibly drag the giant eels weighing one or two kilograms out of the hole and throw them ashore.
Other auxiliary fishing tools include earthworm boxes, black worms as bait, small fish baskets or small water bags that can be carried around. Fishermen should wear trousers and rubber boots, and bring flashlights and mosquito repellent.
Look for the eel hole and find out the law of eel activity.
In your spare time, bring one or two fishing friends, eel fishing tools and go into battle lightly. When you get to the "water edge", you can use a 70 cm long eel hook to remove weeds and sundries, and see if there are any linear traces left in the eel hole and the hole. This is completely different from the "multi-claw" crawling traces of lobsters and crabs.
Monopterus albus belongs to the "night owl". It enters the cave to rest during the day and swims out of the cave to feed after dark. Earthworms, hyenas, crickets, frogs and grubs are found in docks, embankments, bridge opening, Shipodong, weeds, tree roots, tree holes, paddy fields, paddy fields, seedling ponds, flooded fields and swamp beaches near water.
Eel nests are built on a horizontal plane. There are old nests and new nests, and caves are large and small, deep and shallow. It also occupies lobster holes and crab holes, and there must be a part above the water surface for it to breathe and exchange gas. Stop by the water and search carefully, and you will find many eel caves with "home owners" and leave marks one by one.
Fishing eel is like playing with water. It's fun to carry things in a bag.
Make an appointment with three or two fishing friends (safety first), bring dinner (or set off after dinner) and set off in the evening. Put the whole big black earthworm on two special hooks, and leave a 10 mm "soft head" at the bottom of the hooks to make the earthworm head twist easily. The long earthworm section above the hook needs to be tied tightly with fine cotton thread to avoid letting it slide freely and affecting the operation of the hook when exploring the hole.
When you find a flat cave near the water's edge, the human body should stand firm at the water's edge above the eel cave with "horse stance". Two feet should be rubbed several times with the heel of the shoe, resulting in two small pits. Then the human body squats, squats steadily, keeps the body balanced, slightly flexes, and stretches its arms. An arm can be used as a "support" point and supported on the mud on the shore (whether it is supported after proficiency or not). No matter how deep (horizontal) or wide (fan-shaped) the hole is, your eel hook (bait) must be as far away as possible ... >>
Question 9: What kind of bait is used to catch eel? Monopterus albus, also known as Monopterus albus, long fish sea snake, etc. Fresh meat is delicious with less thorns and thick meat. Often live in paddy fields, rivers, streams, ponds, canals, lakes and other mud bottoms, all of which are produced throughout the country, with the Yangtze River basin, Liaoning and Tianjin producing in June ~10, with a yield of 6. Eels are snake-shaped and cylindrical.
Monopterus albus likes to eat fresh bait, not bad or rotten food. It likes eat small fish, shrimp, aquatic insects and other larvae, followed by terrestrial insects and earthworms. If mussels and snails have shells, they also like to eat them.
