Rock fishing is a type of fishing activity that takes place on the rocky or rocky beaches of the seashore or reservoir and requires the use of a special rod called a rock fishing rod. Rock rods are characterized by a long length, usually more than 5 meters, and a stiff material that can withstand the pull of large fish, while also being able to cast long distances. There are several ways to use a rock fishing rod:
1.Choose the right rock fishing rod. Depending on the environment of the fishing ground and the size of the target fish, you will choose a suitable fishing rod. Generally speaking, the more open the fishing ground, the stronger the current, and the larger the fish, the longer and harder the rod you need to choose. On the other hand, the narrower the fishing ground, the weaker the current, and the smaller the fish, so you can choose a shorter and softer rock rod. The length of the rod is generally between 5 and 10 meters, and the hardness is generally divided into three sections, four sections, five sections, etc., and the more segments, the harder it is.
2.Configure the right rig. The rig of rock fishing is generally composed of a fishing line, float, biting lead, hook, bait, etc. Depending on the fishing method, you can choose different rigs. Generally speaking, there are fixed fishing methods, swimming types, and mobile fishing methods. Fixed fishing means that the float is fixed on the main line, and the rig does not move with the current, which is suitable for fishing grounds with weak currents or obstacles. Swimming fishing refers to the floating float that can move up and down on the main line, and the rig moves with the current, which is suitable for fishing grounds with strong currents or unobstructed objects. Mobile fishing means that the float can move freely on the main line, and the rig can quickly reach the fishing shed, which is suitable for fishing grounds with large water depths or large fish.
3.Cast and manipulate the rig. The casting technique of rock fishing is an important part of rock fishing, and the following points need to be noted: First, observe whether there are people or obstacles around you to prevent the rod and hook from hurting others or yourself. Secondly, it is necessary to choose the appropriate throwing angle and strength, so that the fishing rig can accurately land on the target fishing point. Finally, pay attention to the tightness of the line after the throw and avoid the wire winding or knotting. The manipulation of the fishing rig is the key part of rock fishing, and the following points need to be noted: First, the depth and position of the float should be adjusted according to the changes in the current and the habits of the fish, so that the bait can attract the attention of the fish. Secondly, according to the floating signal, judge the bite of the fish, and raise the rod or relax it in time, so that the hook can effectively hook the fish. Finally, according to the size and strength of the fish, the line should be reasonably reeled and loosened, so that the fish can go ashore or board smoothly.
4.Choose the right bait. There are generally two types of bait: live bait and dead bait. Live bait refers to live fish and shrimp, earthworms, sandworms, etc., and dead bait refers to fish, shrimp, crab meat, etc. Choose the appropriate bait according to the taste and habits of the target fish. In general, live bait attracts the attention of fish more than dead bait, but it is also more likely to be spit out or dropped by fish. Dead bait is easier to hook fish than live bait, but it is also easier to be snatched by other fish or seabirds. Therefore, it is necessary to flexibly choose and change the bait according to the specific situation.
