Crucian carp catching tips in winter, fishing tips in winter
With the arrival of winter, the distribution and activity patterns of crucian carp have also changed. In early winter, as the temperature has not yet dropped, the temperature in the shallow water is relatively high, and crucian carp will choose to warm up and feed in the shallow water. As the temperature drops, the crucian carp population gradually concentrates in the shallow waters, and the activity of the crucian carp is relatively small due to the cold weather, so before looking for fish nests, it is necessary to find a place where the fish are concentrated. So let's take a look at how to find a fish nest in two steps when wild fishing in the cold winter.
The first is wind direction and bearing, for winter fishing, wind direction and bearing are two important factors that affect water temperature. In the same area of water, the water temperature will also vary greatly due to different factors such as light, sunshine, wind direction, and headwind. During the cold season, carp will choose places with higher temperatures to gather. Sunny places have plenty of sunlight and naturally higher water temperatures. Sheltered areas are not affected by the wind, and the water temperature is slightly warmer. When fishing in winter, it's best to choose sunny directions, such as north and east, or south and west, of woods, buildings, river banks and reeds. For shelter, choose behind buildings, behind trees, behind river banks, and next to reeds. The most desirable location is one that is both sunny and sheltered from the wind, followed by sheltered from the wind. In short, there must be at least one of these two factors, sunlight and wind. In the cold winter, the wind has a great influence on the water temperature and can bring a lot of trouble to winter fishing.
Second, Topography and Water Color Once the site has been identified, the next step is to choose the right terrain. Water temperature is affected by a variety of factors, such as water depth and obstacles. Where there are obstacles, the temperature is a bit warmer than in open water of the same depth. When fishing in the meadows, you need to pay attention to the species of aquatic plants, as different species of aquatic plants have different effects on water temperature. The best for fishing is the dark grass, which is the area of submerged plants, followed by water-tolerant plants such as reeds, cattails, etc. The area with floating grass on the surface of the water is relatively shady and not suitable for fishing.
If fishing in open water, it is common to choose a place where the river bends, as the more rugged the bank, the more likely it is that there will be fish nests. Through the difference in topography and the change in water depth, it is possible to find places with higher water temperatures. In addition, we can also infer the water temperature by looking at the color of the water, as places with high water temperatures usually have a specific water color. You can observe the water from a distance and look for places where the water color is different from the surroundings. For example, a place with darker water may be due to more algae, and in winter the water temperature is higher and there is relatively more algae;Having ditches and dark aquatic weeds underwater can also cause the water to be darker than around. In addition, fish activity can also stir up sediment under water, which can also be used as an evaluation criterion for finding fish nests.
If the temperature is too low, the activity of the fish will deteriorate, and fishing will not be possible. It's best to fish on a continuous cloudy day with high temperatures, so you can get more catch. We hope you will follow, collect and like, and we will update it on time every day. Thank you for your support!
Summary: During the cold winter months, carp gradually congregate into shallow waters. To find a fish nest, we can tell where the water temperature is highest by the direction and direction of the wind, topography, and water color. Choosing a direction to shelter from the sun and wind, as well as finding places with obstacles and dark grass, are good strategies for winter fishing. In addition, observing the water color changes and agitation of the bottom sediment caused by fish activity can also help to find clues to fish nests. Finally, choosing the right time to fish and try to avoid fishing when the temperature is too low can help us catch more crucian carp. As long as we keep these two steps in mind, finding fish nests during the cold winter months will become easier and more efficient. I wish you all fishing friends a happy fishing and a full harvest!
