In the country, wild crucian carp fishing is a popular activity. However, some fishing enthusiasts find that some people can catch crucian carp in the wild with a snap of the fish, while others need to float to catch the fish. Why is that?
In the process of fishing, the top drift and the bottom blunt mouth are two common floating signals, which represent the specific action of the float when the fish is baited. To better understand these two concepts, let's first understand the fundamentals of fishing.
The key to fishing is the moment when the fish is caught and baited, and the signal of the float is transmitted to the fishing rod, and then it is perceived by the angler. The signals of float mainly include top drift, pause, and lower blunt mouth. In this article, we will focus on the meaning of top drift and lower blunt mouth and how to deal with it.
First, the top drift. Top drifting, also known as sending drifting, refers to the phenomenon that after the fish bites the hook, the float moves upward. Top drift is usually divided into the following stages:
1.Initial top float: When the fish first bites, the float may move slightly upward. At this time, the fish is still testing the bait and has not yet swallowed the bait completely.
2.Stable top float: After the fish confirms the bait, it will steadily pull the float upwards. At this point, the fish has swallowed the bait into its mouth, but not yet the tip of the hook.
3.Strong top drift: The fish feels the stinging of the hook tip and will produce a strong top drift action to try to get rid of the sting of the hook tip. At this time, the angler should quickly lift the rod and catch the fish.
Second, the lower blunt mouth.
The blunt mouth refers to the phenomenon that the fish floats diagonally downward after biting the hook. The lower blunt mouth is usually divided into the following stages:
1.Initial blunt mouth: When the fish first starts to bite the hook, the float may appear to walk diagonally downward. At this time, the fish is still testing the bait and has not yet swallowed the bait completely.
2.Stabilize the lower blunt mouth: After the fish confirms the bait, it will steadily pull the float downward. At this point, the fish has swallowed the bait into its mouth, but not yet the tip of the hook.
3.Strong blunt mouth: The fish feels the stinging of the hook tip and will produce a strong downward diagonal movement to try to get rid of the sting of the hook tip. At this time, the angler should quickly lift the rod and catch the fish.
3. Coping strategies for top drift and lower blunt mouth.
1.Observe the float signal: During the fishing process, always pay attention to the dynamics of the float. When there is a top drift or a blunt mouth, quickly judge the strength of the fish's bite and accurately grasp the timing of the rod.
2.Adjust fishing parameters: According to the fish condition and water conditions, reasonably adjust the fishing parameters such as the adjustment of the float, the size of the hook, and the matching of the line group, so as to better capture the signal of the fish biting the hook.
3.Keep calm: During fishing, stay calm and don't be fooled by continuous top drifts or blunt mouths. Wait until the exact signal appears, and then make a decisive move.
4.Make good use of fishing skills: In the actual fishing process, learn to use various fishing skills, such as teasing, trolling, etc., to improve the chance of the fish being hooked.
In conclusion, the top drift and the lower blunt mouth are very important signals during the fishing process. As anglers, we need to be proficient in these two concepts and apply them flexibly in actual fishing. Only in this way can we continue to improve our fishing skills and enjoy the fun of fishing.
