Tender corn is a great bait for redtail fishing, as it has a fragrant flavor and a soft and glutinous texture that can attract redtail's attention and appetite. There are several steps to fishing for red tails for young corn:
1. Prepare fishing tackle. Redtail fishing requires the use of a stiff long rod with a No. 3 main line and No. 2 subline, and the hook can be selected as a single or double hook, depending on the size and taste of the fish. Drifters can choose 15 grams of lead, adjust 6 mesh, fish 4 mesh.
2. Prepare the bait. Peel off the fresh tender corn, peel it into small particles one by one by hand, put it in a pot, add water and cook until the corn kernels become soft and glutinous and darker in color. Then put the boiled corn kernels in a clean glass or plastic bottle, add an appropriate amount of beer and small medicine, and stir well. The amount of beer should be just over the corn kernels, not too much, otherwise it will affect the firmness and hooking of the bait. The type and amount of small medicine can be selected according to your own preferences and fishing objects, generally you can use cloves, cumin, kaempfera, fish dopa, real hammer small medicine, etc., each corn with 3-4 ml of small medicine. The effect of the small medicine is to increase the flavor and excitement of the bait, making it easier for fish to take the bait. Seal the packed corn kernels, put them in a cool and ventilated place, ferment for about half a month, and during the fermentation process, pay attention to opening the bottle cap regularly to discharge some gas to prevent the bottle from bursting. The fermentation time can be adjusted according to your preference and the taste of the bait, and it can be used in about half a month.
3. Nest fishing. After choosing the right fishing position, use about 5 catties of green earthworms with scissors to cut into multiple sections, mix with rice bran, wheat bran, and soil at the fishing point to knead into a mud ball and then put it into the fishing point to make a nest. After the nest, the red tail can generally enter the nest within half an hour, and there will be no white stripes in the nest at this time. Tender corn is hung directly on a fishing hook and thrown into the water for fishing. If you use a double hook, you can hang two young corns at the same time. The fishing of red tail fish drifting is generally more subtle, sometimes just a slight tremble, sometimes just a slow sinking, sometimes just a quick jump, these are all fish signals, pay attention to observe. Generally speaking, only the kind of strong pause can lift the rod and stab the fish, and other actions must be endured, do not easily raise the rod, so as not to startle the fish.
Fourth, harvest the fish. If you encounter a small fish, you can directly pull the wheel ashore, if it is a big fish, don't worry, after walking the fish fully, then slowly lead the fish to the shore of the bridge, and then use the net to pick up the fish. The joy of redtail fishing lies in the pull and impact of the fish, so it takes patience and skill to get a satisfying catch.
In conclusion, the method of fishing for red tails for young corn is a simple and effective way to fish for red tails of all sizes, especially in autumn, when this method is more effective.
