Silver carp is one of the common fish in freshwater fishing, because of its unique predation habits and pelagic water activity patterns, it is very necessary for anglers to master the drifting skills of silver carp. This article will provide you with a comprehensive guide from beginner to proficient to help you better master the drifting skills of silver carp fishing.
1. Understand the habits of silver carp.
Before we start drifting, we need to understand the habits of bighead carp. Bighead carp is an pelagic fish that feeds mainly on plankton and prefers to move in murky waters. When fishing for silver carp, it is necessary to choose the right fishing spot, preferably in the middle and edge of the water. In addition, the bite of the silver carp is relatively slight, and the drifting phase needs to be carefully observed in order to lift the rod in time.
2. Choose the right fishing tackle.
Fishing rods: Fishing for bighead carp requires choosing a stiffer rod in order to quickly pull the fish out of the water. It is recommended to choose a length of 36-4.5 meters between the rods.
Fishing line: Choose a thicker line to withstand the impact of the silver carp. According to the hardness of the rod, choose the appropriate size of the fishing line.
Float: Choose a large float to better capture the slight bite action of the silver carp. It is advisable to choose a float that eats a large amount of lead in order to quickly sink the hook bait to the bottom.
Hooks: Choose large hooks, such as Shin Kanto, Senyou, etc. Depending on the situation, you can choose a hook with or without barbs.
3. Drifting skills.
Bottoming: Before starting to drift, you need to determine the water depth and substrate. By adjusting the position of the float, the float is exposed to the surface of the water for 1-2 mesh, and then the rod is cast to sink and observe the position of the float in order to find the position of the bottom.
Adjust the float height: Adjust the float height according to the water depth and fishing spots. If the water is deep, you need to adjust the float upwards and vice versa. At the same time, it is necessary to fine-tune the height of the float according to the actual situation to maintain a certain fishing depth.
Adjust the bait condition: The silver carp mainly rely on their sense of smell and sucking on the bait to hunt, so they need to adjust the bait to a suitable state. It is recommended to use well-atomized bait, such as bran, cornmeal, etc., in order to attract the attention of the silver carp. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the proportion and condition of the bait according to the actual situation to achieve the best effect.
Observe the drift phase: When fishing for silver carp, you need to carefully observe the drift phase. When there is a slight sinking or floating action in the float, it is necessary to lift the rod in time. If you find that the float is continuously shaking or black drifting, you also need to lift the rod in time.
Adjust the rig sensitivity: When fishing for bighead carp, you need to adjust the rig to a higher sensitivity to better capture the bite action. It is advisable to use a shorter strand to reduce the amplitude and timing of the lure's swing. At the same time, the size and position of the sinker need to be adjusted to maintain the balance and sensitivity of the rig.
Fourth, practice silver carp fishing.
After mastering the basic drifting techniques, we can start practicing silver carp fishing. When choosing a fishing position, you need to choose the right middle or edge of the water, and choose the right fishing depth and bait according to the actual situation. During the fishing process, it is necessary to maintain patience and observation, catch the bite action in time and lift the rod to stab the fish. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to safety and environmental protection, and comply with relevant regulations and requirements.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have a basic understanding of the drifting skills of silver carp fishing. In practice, it is also necessary to continuously practice and sum up lessons and lessons.
