If you don't pay attention to these points when fishing with earthworms, no matter how many fish you have, you won't necessarily catch more fish.
1: Earthworms are the most economical bait for anglers, sometimes you don't even need to go to the fishing tackle store to buy, you can dig a lot of dark and damp land, and you can squat by the river for a day with a fish root.
Earthworms are dirty and have more bacteria due to their living environment, so it is recommended that everyone must wash their hands before eating in the wild, which is also responsible for our own health.
Strictly speaking, this is a taboo for earthworm fishing, but for people who are obsessed with fishing, this may not be a problem, but I would like to remind you of the following problems, if you ignore it, it may affect our catch.
2: Insist on using earthworms in areas where fish are partial to eating.
Speaking of which, some anglers may not believe that there are crucian carp that don't like to eat earthworms in wild fishingI didn't believe in this question when I first learned to fish, and I didn't really believe it until I suffered a few losses.
We have a wild river here, and we have been fishing for crucian carp with earthworms downstream. As a result, once I ran away with my friend.
Seventy or eighty miles to the upper reaches of the river to fish, only to see that the fishing frenzy at that time was continuous, but our fish mouth here is very poor.
In order to increase the catch rate, I found a few nests, and the nests were heavier, but I fished.
It took two or three hours to harvest.
One or two small crucian carp.
In desperation, I asked my fishing friends who were fishing well on the side for advice, and then I found that everyone was using commercial bait. In my impression, the earthworms used in the wild river do not make a lot of trouble, so they should be easy to catch. People use bait, and they don't attract small fish. There was no way, another pack of commercial bait was opened on the spot, and when I threw it down, I entered the rhythm of the continuous rod, which was really addictive.
After inquiring, I learned that the local anglers have been fishing with bait, and over time, the crucian carp here have developed the habit Xi of only recognizing bait and not earthworms. It's not that you don't eat earthworms at all, but compared to the bait, the chance of being hooked is significantly reduced.
Therefore, it is recommended that before you go to a place to fish, try your best to inquire about the bait of local anglers, one side of the water and soil to raise a side of the fish, in the place where the fish are partial to eat, especially where the fish do not like to eat earthworms, we should not be stubborn and insist on using earthworms.
3: Use earthworms to dip them directly in powdery medicine.
Earthworms dipped in small medicine often play a surprising winning effect in the process of fishing, especially those experienced anglers, because of the special understanding of fishing conditions, with earthworms dipped in small medicine often more than others to fish, attracting many envious eyes.
Some anglers see this situation, but also follow the example of small medicine fishing at home, such as dipped in clove oil, dipped in fruit acid, etc., these methods can indeed play a certain role in attracting fish when the fishing situation needs, but the following method is recommended to be used with caution.
According to its form, it can be divided into two types, one is liquid medicine and the other is powder medicine. If you dip the earthworm with a small liquid medicine, the damage to the earthworm will be less, but it is obviously inappropriate to use a small powder medicine.
The earthworm itself needs to survive in a humid environment, and if we apply a layer of powdery medicine to the earthworm, it will quickly absorb the moisture on the earthworm's body, causing the earthworm to die quickly. Dead earthworms produce a foul smell that fish don't like to eat.
If you don't believe me, you can put an earthworm in the silty bait for a while and compare it with the earthworm outside. Therefore, it is not recommended that you use powdery medicine directly dipped in earthworms.
So can't powder medicine be used?That's not it, if you want to use powdery medicine to dip earthworms for fishing, it is recommended that you first dissolve the powdery medicine into the water, and then use earthworms to dip those potions.
4: Earthworms are too long exposed outside the hook.
Crucian carp like to eat earthworms does not mean that we only need to hang earthworms on the hook and the fish will swallow the hook together, so the angler's bait technique is very important.
Some anglers suspect that earthworms are dirty, and when hanging earthworms, they want to save trouble and hang them with a hook to finish, and even some people directly hang an earthworm to fish, which will cause most of the earthworm's body to be exposed outside the hook. Earthworm.
When the crucian carp swallows the earthworm, it often only latches on to the earthworm outside the tip of the hook, and although it drifts when we lift the rod, it often can't catch the fish, and even the earthworm also lets the fish take away, which is really a loss for the lady and the soldier.
Therefore, it is recommended that you must use a hook as much as possible (try to choose a barb) when fishing, and wear a few more laps, at least not let the earthworm expose too much outside the tip of the hook, if it feels unhygienic, it is recommended that you bring a plastic glove to deal with it.
Conclusion. In addition, earthworms that are not vigorous (some people call them "pestilence" earthworms) are not recommended for everyone, such as improper storage, and pulling out earthworms that do not move with their hands. Most of these earthworms have run out of gas, and the effect of attracting fish is poor, so it is better to replace the fresh earthworms with vigorous vitality in time. I hope this article can bring some help and inspiration to everyone's daily fishing.
