(1) climate characteristics
First of all, generally speaking, early winter still has the characteristics of mid-late autumn weather. The arrival of early winter usually begins at the Gregorian calendar 1 1, just as early spring is still a continuation of cold. The meteorological characteristics of early winter and late autumn are still very obvious. As far as Yunnan, Guichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other provinces are concerned, the temperature in most areas is still at a moderate temperature of about 20 degrees, which makes fish feel less about climate change.
Secondly, from the details, it is not as cold as mid-winter and late winter, and it is not necessary to wear thick clothes for fishing in early winter. For fish in the water, the cold weather has not yet arrived, which undoubtedly provides good external conditions for their survival. The temperature difference between day and night in early winter is small. As far as the author is concerned, the general temperature difference rarely exceeds 10 degrees. Normal weather, between seven or eight degrees or even four or five degrees. Generally speaking, fishing is very common when the temperature difference does not exceed 10 degrees. Even in the early, middle and late stages, the temperature change in early winter is very small, which is very beneficial to fish activities. We often go fishing when the weather is fine in early winter. Even if you get to the reservoir early, you can catch fish even before the sun comes out, which shows that the temperature difference between morning and evening is very small, which is suitable for fish to feed. In view of this, experienced anglers will take advantage of the positive characteristics of fish warming up and foraging in front of 10 am to enhance the fun of fishing in early winter.
Thirdly, there are many good weather in early winter, and the good weather is accompanied by the southwest wind or southeast wind of the second or third grade, which is an excellent fishing day.
(2) Main fish species
The reservoirs in the south mainly catch carp, crucian carp, grass, bream, bream, catfish, loach and bream. According to the life characteristics of fish, the main fish caught in early winter are crucian carp, carp, grass carp and bream. But in South China and Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, it is very common to catch Luo Fei, catfish and loach in reservoirs due to the temperature difference in different areas. This paper briefly analyzes the foraging characteristics of crucian carp, common carp and grass carp:
1, crucian carp
Almost all the crucian carp in the reservoir are wild, except for a few artificially propagated crucian carp seedlings put in by a few farmers as varieties. Indigenous crucian carp is particularly adaptable and actively forages in all seasons, so crucian carp is the first choice for reservoir fishing in early winter. Crucian carp can feed at 4~30 degrees, especially at 18~25 degrees, and the temperature of about 20 degrees in early winter just makes the crucian carp swim downwind. Therefore, we can often catch crucian carp in shallow waters within 1 m, and catch two or three hundred grams or more crucian carp in deeper waters. There are also favorable conditions for fishing crucian carp in early winter. Because the weather is relatively stable and the water temperature is kept in an ideal range, the crucian carp will not drift off the bottom with the passage of time, so the possibility of encountering carp, grass, catfish and loach will increase when fishing crucian carp underwater.
2. Carp
Fish and crucian carp are very similar in living environment, habits, feeding habits, etc., but they are bigger and bite when the water temperature is above 10 degrees. Carp in early winter has many characteristics different from other seasons: First, it is more certain. In spring and summer, the migration route and area of adult carp are long, so it is difficult to fish at fixed points. But in early winter, due to the accumulation of physical strength and physical changes, it no longer needs to travel long distances to find food and give birth, so carp usually moves in a small area in early winter. The second is to continue to replenish physical fitness. Although the activity of carp is reduced, they still need to find a certain amount of food to supplement their physical strength, so as to maintain their basic physical strength and give birth to young in the coming year. Therefore, good meteorological conditions in early winter have contributed to the positive motivation of carp for foraging. According to the activity characteristics of carp, many fishermen in the reservoir are deeply involved in it, and they use the method of constantly throwing bait to build nests to lure carp into their nests in some deep water areas of 2~3 meters or 5~6 meters. Most of them use the traditional single hook undercover fishing method of hand pole, thick line and big hook to catch big carp. The combination of platform fishing can greatly improve the probability of carp biting, but the success rate of catching fish is much lower than that of traditional fishing groups.
3. Grass carp
It is generally believed that grass carp will sink to the bottom in late autumn and stop eating, but this is not the case. In most parts of the south, grass carp can still be caught in winter, and early winter is also a good time to catch big grass carp. But it is undeniable that grass carp is more sensitive to water temperature and temperature than crucian carp and common carp. In early winter, grass carp seldom move in shallow water and shore, because of the lack of natural food, but also because of their perception of temperature. They swim to deeper water to avoid the cold earlier, so they will catch several kilograms of grass carp in deep water a few meters away. Taking advantage of the shortage of natural food, it is quite attractive for grass carp to use food bait as a nest. From the instinctive characteristics of grass carp, early winter is not the best time for grass carp to move, but as long as there are suitable water temperature conditions, they will change the law of less movement, expand the swimming range and even swim to the shallows. Therefore, in the waters with grass carp, starting from the characteristics of grass carp, try to make a heavier bait nest and lose no time in fishing. Often, one or several individuals enter the nest with hundreds of grams of bait at the same time, eat up the bait in a minute or two, and then leave the nest quickly. So, if you want to catch grass carp in early winter, is it better to be fast than slow? It is an effective method.
(3) Characteristics of water regime
Another factor conducive to fishing in early winter is its use of water.
1, water potential is stable
In the world of water, for fish, if the water is stable, the fish will be stable? Adapting to the change of external environment is the survival instinct of fish. We know that fish perceive the changes of external objects, including water bodies, mainly by the lateral lines on both sides of their bodies. Once the change is too big, it will arouse the instinctive vigilance of the fish, and then adjust the skills and make a reaction of either advancing or retreating.
It can be said with certainty that the stable water regime in the reservoir in early winter is of positive significance to fishing. The stability of water potential has another advantage for fish, which is to expand and ensure their range of activities. Judging from the disturbance of the land shore to the fish, when the water is full, it forms a vast water surface, which makes the distance between people or terrestrial animals and the fish become farther, which undoubtedly weakens the fear of fish, thus increasing the chances of fish swimming around and increasing the possibility of encountering fish when fishing.
2. Water quality improvement
The quality of water directly affects the survival of fish, but also has an impact on fishing. Early winter is the best time of the year for reservoir water quality. It has two positive effects. On the one hand, the turbidity and impurities in the original reservoir water, and even a variety of toxic substances on land, are infiltrated after a large number of supplementary water sources fill the reservoir water in rainy season. After long-term precipitation and infiltration, and the absorption of aquatic plants in the reservoir area, impurities are effectively filtered and purified, which makes the water quality clear, makes the fish have a refreshing water environment, and effectively improves the visual ability of fish when foraging. On the other hand, the fish caught in early winter is smooth and becomes good food. This is directly related to the stable and clear reservoir water and sufficient dissolved oxygen after autumn. Of course, from another angle of fishing, the reservoir water is relatively clear, and the fish's vigilance is relatively high, which can be adjusted by fishing deeper. The author's experience is that the main fishing area is more than two or three meters, and the shallow water area can be very shallow when there are storms.
3、? Three temperatures? better
? Three temperatures? It has a great influence on the activities of fish. Therefore, understanding the change of temperature is of great significance to guide fishing in early winter. The unique meteorological conditions in early winter have formed a good effect of three-temperature simultaneous fishing. From the temperature point of view, early winter is in the alternating stage of autumn and winter. Judging from the water temperature, the upper and lower water temperatures of the reservoir water in late autumn and early winter are close, and the ground temperature is also maintained at a high level. In this case, the fish can still eat.
(4) the essentials of finding a nest
The essentials of fishing for nests in reservoirs in early winter can be summarized as follows:
1, mainly for deep-water fishing
Due to the limitation of fishing with a fishing rod, we can't throw the hook and bait into the distant waters, so we generally regard the waters above two or three meters as deep water, and according to the law of fish activities, this depth has a certain hidden effect and the temperature is relatively constant. In early winter, fish will adjust the water layer and area of their lives and try to keep their functions in relative balance with the temperature. The most obvious performance of this adjustment is to swim to deeper waters, and secondly, the water depth makes the fish feel safe. In early winter, the water color is generally clear, and reservoirs with good water quality can bottom out in the waters around 1 m, and some can bottom out in about 2 meters. The dynamic shadow of people on the shore and people's walking will affect the approach of fish, which is very unfavorable for hand fishing. The deeper the water, the weaker the ability to receive light, and the darker it is, the safer it is. In addition, the fish's staying time in the deep water area is prolonged, which makes the water near the bottom turbid and increases the fish's concealment. If there are obstacles such as potholes at the bottom of the water, the deeper the water, the stronger the sense of security, and the more you can keep the fish, which brings favorable conditions for making nests to lure fish.
Step 2 consider shallow fishing
There seems to be a routine for shallow fishing in winter. However, practice has proved that it is a positive response to choose shallow water as a fishing nest under good meteorological conditions. In winter, the upper reaches of the reservoir are mostly farmland plots submerged in rainy season, and the water depth is generally 1~2 meters. The unique fine weather in early winter has created conditions for maintaining and raising the shallow water temperature, so that warm-blooded fish, such as crucian carp and carp, will stay here. In actual fishing, if a good angler can make his nest into windward shallow water early, shallow fishing in early winter is the best choice. The principles of nesting in shallow water are as follows: the water depth less than 1 m must have a prerequisite, that is, the water color should be moderately turbid, otherwise the nesting effect will be difficult to improve; However, in the water area of 1.3~2 meters, as long as the water color conditions of supernatant and turbidity are maintained, the purpose of attracting fish into the nest can be well realized.
(5) Bait method
Taking common fishing species such as crucian carp and carp as examples, this paper expounds the methods of feeding:
1, deeper water.
What did you catch in the deep water? Deterministic fish? The water level is three or four meters or deeper. Generally speaking, it takes a long time to lure fish, and more sprinkling can enhance the emitting power of bait and delay the disappearance of bait flavor; Moreover, the bait with uniform thickness will be scattered in the process of falling into the water. With the extension of falling into the water, the scattered area of bait at the bottom of the water will increase, which weakens the effect of concentrated fish attraction. Therefore, increasing the amount of bait can make up for this deficiency. If you fish in the nest that day, the amount of bait in the nest should be controlled at 200 ~ 500g, and the amount of nest continuation should be controlled at100 ~ 200g.
2. The water is shallow and scattered
What did you catch in shallow water? Swimming fish? . Starting from the characteristics of shallow water fish swimming fast, especially when the weather is fine, as long as there are fish activities near the waters we choose, we can quickly attract the fish to the nest with only a small bait, and the fishing speed will be high. The amount of bait is100 ~ 200 g.
3. Quantitative setting with fish.
Determine which kinds of fish are abundant in the waters. For example, if there are more crucian carp, the amount of bait will be less, and fine bait is better than coarse bait. Usually, the rice mixed with distiller's grains is kneaded into a ball and thrown out, and the dispersion time only takes a few minutes. For example, when fishing carp, grass and other large fish, the bait is twice as large as the former, and the bait particles are extensive, so a lot of bait is cast.
4. Flexible bait
Floating around and feeding is the basic feeding method for reservoir fishing. In view of the activity of fish in early winter, we can also consider using radiant fishing tactics when throwing bait. The specific method is: after the main bait is put into the den, sprinkle a small amount of bait to the far and horizontal areas of the den respectively, but if it is to be sprinkled, it is appropriate to use granular bait. The long-range bait can extend to a length of more than ten meters. In addition, considering the strong positioning of the hand pole, the method of near-throwing and far-fishing can also be adopted when throwing bait, so that the fish entering the nest can be relatively controlled within the fishing range of the hand pole and the probability of biting the hook can be increased.
(6) Discrimination of fish news
1, Carassius auratus drifting reaction
When using the platform fishing combination, when the drifter catches two or three eyes, the drifting information often rises and falls sharply or sinks to no top at a steady speed. This shows that there are a large number of crucian carp in the nest, which are active in competition for food and sensitive in swimming, so the news of drifting shows that there is a lot of movement and the fish in the pole is in good condition. Moreover, in traditional undercover fishing, the drifting reaction is related to the distance between the pendant and the hook. When the distance is long, the signal that the crucian carp bites becomes inclined to drag into the water, and the speed is not fast. This is because the height of crucian carp does not exceed the length of the mouth line, and the drift is pulled into the water. When the distance between the hook and the falling body is only five or six centimeters or even two or three centimeters, due to the attraction, the drift is mainly brought to the top. The lighter the falling body, the faster the drift, the higher the drift, and even lodging is common. Because the activity of fish is relatively high at this time, people generally don't pay special attention to fishing in the use of fishing groups, so they choose Taiwan Province fishing method and traditional fishing method according to their hobbies.
2. Drift reaction of carp
In early winter, the number of carp individuals in the library is larger than that of small carp. The reason is more complicated, but one thing is certain, that is, carp desperately forage in early winter in order to give birth in spring and maintain physical fitness. Usually when fishing in the reservoir, carp is not the target fish of the fisherman, but the signal that the main carp bites the hook. The biting time of carp in early winter can be divided into three stages, and each stage has different reactions to drift. In the first stage, I was willing to bite the hook around 8 am, mainly in the old fishing ground. Long-term feeding has made the big carp accustomed to going ashore for food in the morning, so the hook often meets the carp's bite, and it floats slowly and rarely stops. When it floats, the fishing rod can be lifted to catch fish. The second stage is one or two noon. At this time, the carp was attracted by the bait from a distance. With a certain amount of food in their stomachs, they often circle around the bait. In addition to the lure of nest bait, the lure of hook bait will also interest carp. When the fish touches the bait, the drift will slightly shake up and down, and the cunning of carp will be fully displayed, which makes the information of drift complicated and changeable, and it is difficult to grasp the exact time to lift the pole. Therefore, fishermen should be eloquent, pay attention to every movement of drifters, and strive to raise fish in the pole. The author's approach is that for intermittent drifting, after removing the hook of small miscellaneous fish, you can catch fish from time to time; Sometimes the drift moves once or twice and then doesn't move. When lifting the pole to change food, you should also lift it hard. Unexpectedly, it can catch fish. Using the light fishing group will change the unclear signal. The third stage is at five or six o'clock in the evening, for example, in Sham Shui Po. When will the nest end in one day? Well done? When the light is dim, the big carp will also bite into the nest. The drifting news is much more stable at this time. Almost all floating objects are falling or rising, so it is easy to grasp the timing of lifting the pole.
(7) Fish walking technology
After being hooked in early winter, the fish struggled between summer and autumn and late winter and early spring. Generally, the hooks in crucian carp can catch fish near the shore only by the elasticity of the rod. But when you meet a big fish weighing one or two pounds, you should be careful when walking the fish.
In early winter, the fish caught at noon is the most powerful. However, the big fish caught in the morning and evening are unable to struggle. The way to deal with big fish can be done according to personal habits. I met a lot of big fish in early winter, and I also have some habits of walking fish: First, I think it is a big fish in the middle of the fish, so I quickly put the pole up at a 90-degree angle. At this time, the fish has pulled the first half of the rod into a big bend angle, just using the hardness of the second half of the rod to compete with the big fish. Second, always firmly grasp the front corner of the pole, believe in the strength of your fishing tackle, and even in the process of walking, you need to constantly turn the pole back to a big angle above Baidu, so as to maximize the radian of the pole tip and accelerate the fatigue of the big fish. Third, whether there is a pit or not, try to squat and walk the fish. This is to shorten the distance between the rod line and the fish and give full play to the role of the rod line. At the same time, it can also keep the fish in the deep water layer, reduce the surprise attack of the fish and avoid the danger caused by the explosive impact of the fish. Fourth, you can't suddenly drag the fish to the front, so it is very likely that the big fish will turn around and jump the wire; You can't stick the pole in, so the fish can run far away. Finally, it will make it difficult to lift the pole and form a wavy polyline. Fifth, when the fish is still in full swing, we should tilt the fishing rod to both sides to dissolve the fish's momentum, and use the natural power of the fishing rod and the firmness of the line to consume the fish's ferocity. Don't copy the net until the big fish turns white. The best way to stay on a flat shore is to put the net aside, pull the big fish to your feet, hold the fishing rod tightly with one hand and touch the fish with the other. If you don't move, grab it ashore with your bare hands.
