How to choose a fishing spot for crucian carp in winter?Where will the cold fish hide?

Hello everyone, I'm an angler talking about fishing. Due to the cold weather in winter, many fish have been unable to adapt to the low temperature environment, have taken refuge in the deep water area, so at this time there are many fish species have stopped, and even have entered the state of hibernation, the target fish of winter wild fishing is basically the crucian carp with strong cold resistance.

However, in cold weather, the range of activity of crucian carp is relatively small, and the desire to eat is also relatively low. Therefore, in winter, we must first fish selectively according to the Xi of crucian carp. When the water temperature is lower than 10 degrees, crucian carp will be driven by thermotropism, look for warmer waters, and then eat less and move less.

Therefore, if we want to go wild fishing for crucian carp in winter, the first important thing is to choose a good fishing spot. So how to choose a better fishing spot for crucian carp fishing in winter?Based on my fishing experience, I choose mainly from two factors: weather and water depth.

Weather and water depth are two factors that complement each other when choosing a location for wild crucian carp fishing in winter, and here I roughly divide the weather into two types: sunny and cloudy. Of course, there is rain and snow, but the danger of fishing in rain and snow is relatively large, and it is relatively cold in winter, so it is recommended that anglers try to avoid going out to fish at this time, so I will not outline it here.

Anglers have a proverb in winter fishing, "Yang fishing is bright and shallow, and Yin fishing grass is deep water". "Yang fishing bright shallow water" means that when we fish for crucian carp in winter when there is sun, we should choose to fish in open water and shallow water. Because in the same water, the water temperature changes faster in the open and shallow water areas than in the aquatic grass area.

Whether it is heating up or cooling, because the open water area can directly absorb and release the heat of sunlight, the temperature changes very quickly, while the aquatic grass area is affected by the water surface because the water surface is blocked by aquatic plants, absorbing and releasing the heat of sunlight, so the temperature change is slow.

On sunny days, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the thermotropism of crucian carp determines their shift from deep-water aquatic grass areas to shallow open waters. During this time, crucian carp will have a small peak of foraging, so when the water depth in the open water area is about the same as that in the aquatic grass area, we should choose the fishing spot in the open water.

Of course, the depth of the water level varies from place to place in the open water area, and although it is also exposed to sunlight, the water temperature varies from place to place. The shallow water directly absorbs the heat of the sun, and the water temperature rises relatively quickly, but with the increase of depth, the heat absorbed by the water body also decreases, so during the time period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the water temperature in the shallow water area irradiated by the sun is significantly higher than the water temperature in the deep water area.

At this time, the crucian carp follows the sun and moves from deep to shallow water. After four o'clock in the afternoon, with the gradual decrease in temperature, the water temperature in the shallow water area also began to drop rapidly, when the water temperature in the shallow water area is lower than the water temperature in the deep water area, the crucian carp began to move to the deep water area again, which is the activity law of the crucian carp in the low temperature environment.

The so-called "deep water of yin fishing grass" means that on cloudy days, we should fish where there are aquatic weeds, or where the water is deep. When the weather turns from sunny to cloudy or the temperature drops after the sun sets, the water temperature in the aquatic grass area drops slowly because of the natural barrier of aquatic plants, so the water temperature will be slightly higher than that in the open water area.

If the aquatic weeds on the water surface are very dense, anglers can choose a place with a deep water level and open a grass hole for fishing.

When there is no sun, there is a lot of ice on the surface of the water, especially in the northern areas, but in the deep water areas, the temperature at the bottom is still above freezing. According to some data, the temperature of the water layer ten meters deep below the ice water can reach 4 to 6 degrees.

The temperature below is relatively high, so that there is a clear temperature difference between the top and bottom of the water body, and the crucian carp will dive into the deep water at this time to feed, but the range of activity is smaller than in summer.

Therefore, in the rainy weather in winter, we have to choose deep waters for fishing. In general, the choice of fishing position for winter fishing is these two sentences: when the temperature is high on a sunny day, you can choose to fish open water and shallow water;When the temperature is low on cloudy days, you should choose to fish in deep water and aquatic grass areas.

As the saying goes, "Fish look for bait in normal times, bait in winter", which means that when the temperature is low in winter, the fish in the wild river will find a place with a relatively high temperature to hide, and they will hardly move or eat. In order to achieve a satisfactory harvest of crucian carp in winter, it is necessary to find a hiding place for the fish.

So, where are the places where crucian carp hide in winter?If we find a place where the temperature is a little hotter, we can find a hiding place for the fish. Normally, the bottom of deep water in winter is much warmer than the surface of the water.

We can first choose the deep water area, and then find some places with aquatic weeds or rocks in the deep water area, these places are the places where the fish prefer to hide, and there are aquatic weeds and debris, there will be some grass seeds, microorganisms and other fish edible food, so the deep water bottom, the place with aquatic weeds and debris is the first choice for wild fishing crucian carp in winter.

Some special waters have higher water temperatures, such as those near power plants and factories, where the temperature of the water discharged is higher than that of the wild river, and when the weather is cold and the temperature is relatively low, fish will naturally seek out these hot waters to hide.

Therefore, the area near the drain where the water temperature is higher than the outside water temperature is also a good place for wild crucian carp fishing in winter. In the north, rivers often freeze in winter, but there are some sections of the river that do not freeze all year round, and the ground temperature is relatively high in these places. The high ground temperature leads to a high water temperature, and the high water temperature is more suitable for fish to hide in winter.

Therefore, we can generally get a more satisfactory harvest when we choose a deeper area where the ground temperature is relatively high. In some rivers and lakes, the water level is relatively deep, and it is also a good place for wild crucian carp fishing in winter.

It is also a good choice to find some boats that are idle all year round at the dock where the boats are parked, test the water depth among these boats, and find the crevices of the boats with deep water levels for nesting and fishing. If it is an unfamiliar place, it is best to test the water depth with a fishing rod first, and then determine whether there are aquatic weeds and debris at the bottom of the water.

There is no law of fishing, we choose the fishing position of the crucian carp in the winter, we must make a reasonable selection according to the temperature, water depth and bottom environment at the time of fishing, and then cooperate with the appropriate line group, reasonable floating adjustment fishing and appropriate bait state and flavor type for fishing, I believe everyone can achieve a more satisfactory harvest.

I am a angler to say fishing, happy fishing, record the real fishing life, if you have any better suggestions, welcome to discuss and leave a message, we will see you tomorrow!Crucian carp fishing in winter
