The most important thing to catch mandarin fish is to choose the terrain, which even exceeds the bait. Mandarin fish generally like to feed in underwater environment with obstacles, and piers and big stones are good hiding places. In addition, the stone bottom is better than the soil bottom, and the steeper the slope, the better. If you read the Huangwei article in our last article, you will find that the terrain suitable for fishing Huangwei fish is basically the terrain suitable for fishing mandarin fish. And tell you a secret, all the big mandarin fish in Jinhai Lake have an egg (stomach) which is the whole yellow tail after being cut open.
This is the topographic map of Huang Wei's last fishing, because both Siniperca chuatsi and Huang Wei like the terrain with mixed soil and rock.
The bait is about 6-8 cm small loach, and live shrimp and white strips can also be used. As long as it is fresh. Although mandarin fish in Jinhai Lake usually like to eat yellow tail, because small yellow tail is not easy to get, and the dead mandarin fish after being cut into pieces are not interested, we still prefer loach because it is easier to survive. You can use bait to make a nest, because both loach and shrimp will quickly dive to the bottom and find a corner to hide, so throwing a loach or several shrimps for a few minutes can also play a role in making a nest. However, the big mandarin fish has a certain territorial consciousness, and it is rare to catch more than one big mandarin fish in a row at the same position.
I know the following fishing methods.
Taiwan Province Fishing Act
When your nest suddenly stops and your fishing position belongs to the place where mandarin fish frequently appear, you can put a pair of big hooks to hang the loach, which often leads to surprises. Remember to change the big drift and increase the lead so that the lead falls to the end. The lead should not be too light, because the habit of loach is to hide in the cracks of the stone. There will be two problems. The mandarin fish can't see, and you will often hang on the bottom of the water. Therefore, increase the lead drop to ensure that the loach keeps moving in the nest. If you don't move for a few minutes, you can pull up the loach and tease it a few times. Also remember to put one dozen two, that is, let the first bite hit the second.
Sea pole rope hook
Everyone must have seen this, so I will briefly say a few points. If the hook is between the lead pendant and the pole, it must be a string hook with a long hook line, which can facilitate the mandarin fish to eat the bait. In addition, the hook distance should be greater than the length of the parting line, otherwise your time will be wasted on picking the line. If the conductor falls between the hook and the pole, it is not advisable to use too many hooks, just 1-2. Also remember to put one dozen two, that is, let the first bite hit the second.
Fishing method of pseudo-Lu Ya mandarin fish
The traditional method of Siniperca chuatsi in China is mainly Dezhou fishing group+soft worm jumping to the bottom. Needless to say here, as long as you are confident and patient enough about your skills, harvesting mandarin fish in Jinhai Lake is not out of reach. (It took a fisherman two years to harvest the first mandarin fish in Jinhai Lake, and the difficulty can be imagined. Of course, the density of mandarin fish this year has obviously increased compared with last year, so the difficulty should not be so high. What we want to focus on here is the highly efficient pseudo-Lua fishing method that has been verified by our practice. The reason why it is called pseudo-reed-bud fish fishing method is that the fishing principle draws lessons from the traditional fishing method of reed-bud fish, but it has been improved.
On the fishing rod, you can choose L or UL rod, which can be very soft but not too hard, because the bait is very light and difficult to throw. At present, most of the mandarin fish in Jinhai Lake are three or two to one catty, and occasionally three or four catties, so there is no need to ask too much for the pole.
In terms of line group, the main line is probably carbon line 2, and the secondary line is 1- 1.5, because there are many stones where there are many mandarin fish, and the frequency of hanging the bottom is very high. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more lines and hook lines, and survive the psychological endurance period of hanging the bottom, and you are not far from landing. Because mandarin fish have territorial habits, if you want to catch more than one mandarin fish in a fishing spot, there must be many big stones under this fishing spot for many mandarin fish to hide. So, when you meet the bottom hanging, you might as well motivate yourself like this. "The more you hang on the bottom, the more mandarin fish there are, and there is definitely no one who doesn't hang on the bottom."
Core matters:
It is better to hang the loach with a single hook, and the size of the hook is about 16 marbles (the size of the long-handled sea hook is equivalent to 12 Yi Shi), but it is impossible without barbs, because the loach is easy to fall off. The loach is about 8CM, which can take into account the wider import of mandarin fish. Of course, if you catch less than half a catty of mandarin fish, I suggest you release it properly, and we will have a good time in the future. According to the tonality of Lu, a small piece of lead should be pinched at the eight-character ring of the sub-line, and it is appropriate to hang loach and throw it around 10M. Note here that you don't have to throw it far to catch mandarin fish, because mandarin fish often gather near the shore for food, but if you throw it too far, you won't.
After throwing, wait for the loach to sink to the bottom, and then wait for a while. If you are not bitten by a snake, you will start to slowly draw in a certain range of lines and continue to lure fishing at a rhythm of about one meter. Pick the tip of the pole lightly when winding up the line, so that the loach jumps out of the bottom of the water and then falls slowly. The falling process is often the key moment for the mandarin fish to launch a quick attack. At this time, if you feel a mandarin fish bite, you can lift the pole and stab the fish! If the stickleback misses continuously, you can make a little way. At this time, the mandarin fish may be smaller.
The density of stone bottom is obviously better than that of soil bottom. Basically, one is too heavy to land. However, southern fishermen prefer about half a catty, which is said to be more delicious. I have a mouth all day and night, and I feel more active after sunrise and before sunset. There will always be an opening period during the day and night, which is generally not as good as at night, so as long as the weather is not abnormal, it is ok to connect the pole at night without opening during the day.
There are many ways to make mandarin fish, and I can only steam it. Of course, my wife prefers rotten salmon. I remind you gentlemen that you must learn to cook fish. Unlike ordinary freshwater fish, mandarin fish has fewer thorns and garlic cloves all over its body. Once your daughter-in-law is infatuated with the smell of mandarin fish, you can often go fishing.
Steamed Mandarin Fish
Choose mandarin fish within a catty, remove gills and viscera, cut flowers on your body and rub with salt. Then marinate with cooking wine 10- 15 minutes. After the boiler boils, put the fish into the plate, pour out the cooking wine before putting it, and spread shredded ginger on the top and bottom. Take it out after 8- 10 minutes, pour out the water and shredded ginger from the plate, and add fresh shredded onion and ginger again. Finally, the soy sauce for steaming fish is heated to boiling and poured on the mandarin fish.
