I'm glad you're interested in fishing because I'm also a fishing enthusiast. Today I would like to share with you some knowledge about the "magic bait" of fishing, hoping to help you improve your fishing skills and fun. What is "magic bait"? It is those baits that can attract the target fish to take the bait, some are natural food, some are artificially made baits, some are bait for specific fish, and some are suitable for a variety of fish baits. Different fish have different tastes and habits, so choose the right "magic bait" according to the fishing season, waters, weather and other factors. Below I will introduce you to several common fish and their "magic bait", I hope you can catch something.
Grass carp: Grass carp is a popular fish for anglers because of its large size, delicious flesh, and easy to catch. Grass carp like to forage in places where aquatic weeds are abundant, so when fishing for grass carp, look for places with aquatic weeds, preferably in shallow waters near the shore. There are two kinds of "magic bait" of grass carp, one is mulberry and the other is autumn insect. Mulberries are the favorite of grass carp, especially in summer, the sweetness and aroma of mulberries can attract the attention of grass carp, and the skin of mulberries is very soft, easy to be bitten by grass carp, so when fishing for grass carp, as long as the mulberry is hung on the hook, there is a great chance of catching grass carp. Autumn insects refer to some insects that appear in autumn, such as grasshoppers, oil hyacinths, mole crickets, large green worms, etc., these insects are the delicacy of grass carp, because they are rich in protein and nutrition, and have a certain vitality, which can stimulate the appetite of grass carp. When fishing for grass carp, you can use autumn insects as bait, or mix autumn insects with bait to make some small balls and put them into the water, so that the grass carp can smell the insects and will take the bait.
Carp: Carp is a very common fish, almost all waters have its figure, its size is also very large, some can even reach dozens of catties. Carp is also very good in meat quality, and there are many ways to make it a popular edible fish. The habit of carp is to look for food in mud and sand, so when fishing for carp, you should look for a place with mud and sand, preferably a place with muddy water, because carp like to eat some smelly food, such as humus, carrion, etc., these things are more likely to emit odor in muddy water and attract the attention of carp. The "magic bait" of carp is stinky rice, which is an artificially made bait, the method is very simple, that is, rice bran, oil withered, sake lees and other things are boiled with water, and then added to the rice, put it in a sealed jar, leave it for about 15 days, let it ferment, and then it can be used. The taste of this bait is very smelly, but the carp likes it very much, and other trash fish dare not eat it, so when fishing for carp, it is a great advantage to use stinky rice as bait.
Crucian carp: Crucian carp is a very hardy fish that can be caught year-round and in large quantities, making it a frequent visitor to anglers. Crucian carp is also very good in terms of meat quality, and there are many ways to make it, so it is a popular edible fish. The habit of crucian carp is that they like to feed in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, so when fishing for crucian carp, it is necessary to find a place with mud and sand, preferably a place with deep water, because crucian carp do not like high temperatures and prefer to be in the shade of the bottom. There are two kinds of "magic bait" of crucian carp, one is earthworm and the other is broad bean flour. Earthworms are a very good bait that can attract a lot of fish, especially crucian carp, because earthworms are rich in protein and nutrients, and have a certain vitality, which can stimulate the appetite of crucian carp. When fishing for crucian carp, you can use earthworms as bait, or mix earthworms with bait to make some small balls and put them into the water, so that the crucian carp can smell the smell of earthworms and will take the bait. Fava bean flour is a very good vegetarian bait, which can attract a lot of fish, especially crucian carp, because fava bean flour has a sweet taste and aroma, and has a certain stickiness, which can be hung on the hook and is not easy to fall off. When fishing for crucian carp, you can use broad bean flour and water to make a paste, and the tip of the hook can be used a little, or you can use a mixture of broad bean flour and wheat flour and add water to form a dough, which can also be used.
Herring: Herring is a very strong fish with a large size, delicious flesh, and relatively easy to catch. Herring fish like food with shells in the water, such as snails, river mussels, freshwater clams, etc., this is because the herring has a hard keratin in its throat, which can easily compress the snail shell, so the larger snails can only be eaten by herring. The "magic bait" of herring is the snail, which is a very good bait that can attract the attention of herring and is not easy to be snatched by other fish. When fishing for herring, you can use snails as bait, or mix snails and bait to make some small balls and put them into the water, so that the herring can smell the smell of the snails and will take the bait.
When fishing for herring, you should also pay attention to the following:
Fishing for herring should choose a place with current, because herring likes to swim in the current and look for food, so in a place where the current is faster, the range and number of herring will increase, and the chance of catching herring will also increase.
Fishing for herring should choose a place with aquatic weeds, because aquatic weeds can provide shelter and protection for herring, so that herring fish feel safe, and there are also a lot of small insects and snails and other foods in aquatic weeds, so in places with more aquatic weeds, the appetite and vitality of herring will be enhanced, and the chance of catching herring will also increase.
Fishing for herring should choose a place with shade, because herring does not like direct sunlight and likes to rest and forage in a shady place, so in places with shade such as trees, bridges, rocks, etc., the number and size of herring will be relatively large, and the chance of catching herring will also increase.
