Finding the bottom when fishing is an important skill, and here are some commonly used methods:
1.Use the float: Select the appropriate float and adjust the depth of the float according to the depth and flow rate of the fishing spot. Start by adjusting the float to a shallow position and then gradually lower it until it remains vertical or slightly inclined in the water, indicating that the float has found the bottom.
2.Watch the float: Watching the float move can help you find the bottom. When the float starts to sink or swing, the hook is close to the bottom. When the float stops moving or rises slightly, it means that the hook has bottomed out.
3.Use the Bottoming Method: The bottoming method is a commonly used technique that can help you find the bottom. Loosen the line and let the float drift with the current while gradually tightening the line. When you feel slight resistance or vibration of the line, it means that the line has touched the bottom.
4.Use the Sinking Method: The Sinking Method is a technique to quickly find the bottom. After placing the bait, gently pull the line tightly with your hands and let the line sink into the water until you feel significant resistance or stop sinking, which means that the line has reached the bottom.
5.Use weights: Adding the right amount of weights, such as a sinker, to your line can help you find the bottom quickly. The weight and size of the weight is adjusted according to the depth and current speed of the fishing spot, and the float will be easier to find the bottom when the weight is lifted.
Please note that bottoming is a skill and experience fishing technique, and different spots and species may require different drifting methods. In actual fishing, use the above methods flexibly according to the specific situation, and adjust them according to your own experience and feelings. Consistent practice and practice can help you master this technique better.
