As a traditional way of fishing, casting nets has become the first choice for many fishermen. However, in order to use cast net fishing effectively, it is necessary to master the correct casting method. Here's how to cast a traditional net.
First, choose the right hook and bait. For different fish, different hooks and baits need to be used. For example, if the target is a yellow eel, you can use a small hook and use an earthworm as bait. If the target is crucian carp or carp, you can use a larger hook and use rice or dough as bait.
Second, be prepared to cast your nets. A cast net usually consists of two parts: the body and the handle. When preparing, the mesh needs to be unfolded and straightened out to ensure that the mesh is the right size and not clogged. At the same time, check that the handle is secure to ensure that it does not fall off when casting the net.
The third step is to choose the right place and time. Casting nets are usually used in rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. Choose places with strong currents and clear water, which are often habitats for fish. It is also important to choose the right time, such as in the morning or evening, when fish are usually close to shore to feed, and this is when casting nets is more effective.
The fourth step is to master the correct casting technique. When casting nets, you need to pay attention to the following points: keep your body stable and avoid excessive force or too fast speed, so as not to affect the accuracy of casting nets;Timing your nets and quickly casting them when the fish are close to the shoreBe patient and calm, and don't rush to reel in the net and wait for the fish to enter the net before reeling it.
The last step is to close the net and organize. When you feel that there are fish in the net, you can start to reel in the net. Attention and angle are required when reeling in the net to prevent the fish from escaping. If fish are caught, they need to be removed from the net in time to avoid death or damage. In the meantime, tidy up your net to make sure it's still handy the next time you use it.
In conclusion, although the traditional casting net is a relatively old way of fishing, it is still a very effective way to fish as long as you master the right skills and methods. By choosing the right hook and bait, preparing to cast your net, choosing the right place and time, mastering the right casting techniques, and harvesting and organizing, you can be sure to become a good traditional casting trap.
