[Fishing Drifting] How to find the bottom

Some people say: finding the bottom is an indispensable and important link in the fishing process. After the game, when you wake up, you want to find the bottom again and verify your doubts. When did he find out? Really? After that, you may regret yourself: Dog fishing * Ah, it's still eight feet from the bottom! ? Or say wryly:? 800 miles from the bottom of the sea. Can the buoy move? ? This kind of story has become a reserved program on the field. As the saying goes, learn fish for one year, adjust and drift for three years, find the bottom for five years, and bait 10 years. This shows how important and mysterious it is to find the bottom. Is it really difficult to find the bottom? In order to eliminate confusion and shorten the five-year search time, it is necessary to objectively and correctly understand the role of bottom-searching, and at the same time clarify some circulating misconceptions. First, correctly understand and apply the so-called bargain-hunting. Simply put, it is to find the water depth. Finding water depth has the following advantages: 1. In a strange fishing ground, first understand the water depth, so as to facilitate the choice of fishing position, fishing group and fishing method. Eye adjustment should make the hook close to the bottom of the water, especially in deep water, so as to reduce the influence of the length and weight of the waterline on eye adjustment. 2. Find the water depth several times before, after and around the fishing position, so that you can understand the topography of the bottom of the water and help you choose the fishing point. 3. When using the individual fishing method, you can avoid that the bait is not in place and not in the end. Some people advocate adjusting 4 fishing and 2 fishing. Because the thickness of the drift tail and the size of the bait ball are not considered, if the drift tail is thick and the bait ball is small, it may be found that it is far from the bottom after a game. Finding the bottom and depth can avoid the embarrassment of this fishing method. 4. In addition, when using bait or small bait, because the bait is very light or dissolves quickly, it is impossible to accurately adjust the drift and determine the state of the hooked bait. In this case, the approximate position of the hooked bait can be determined by finding the bottom-at the bottom of the water. 5. Finding the bottom can also help novices to simply adjust the drift and facilitate fishing. After adjusting the empty hook first, hook it with lead, rubber block, chewing gum, etc. To find the bottom, let the floating tail show about 1 mesh, 2 mesh and 3 mesh, and then hook the fish with bait (note that the number of fishing eyes after baiting may be different from that when finding the bottom, it doesn't matter). Or, directly hang double bait to find the bottom (this is a better method), the floating tail sinks completely, and then put a long waterline to make the floating tail surface 1-3 mesh, OK! No matter what state the bait is, whether it is dull or not, the bait is at the bottom of the water and it is impossible to catch it. Some friends do this, and I think it's ok. Especially in wild fishing, you can catch fish if you are sensitive and slow. If you want to be more precise, you can. In the process of fishing, according to the situation and feeling of the fish, adjust the float up and down to change the state of the underwater hook bait sub-line, so as to achieve the best state you feel, that is, the easiest state to fish. This is very important. Does this search take five years? It will be done in a few minutes. Second, clarify some misunderstandings about finding the bottom. At present, there are some misunderstandings about finding the bottom, which not only complicate simple problems, but also make beginners go astray and have constant doubts, such as falling into clouds and fog. Only by clarifying the wrong understanding can we have a clear and correct understanding and get out of confusion. 1, one of the wrong ideas is to find the bottom with a rubber block (or other heavy objects) and find that the fishing purpose is 2 singles. After changing the bait, the fishing purpose is 2 orders. This reminds me of the story of Carving a Boat for a Sword. The place where the boat is carved is different from the place where the sword is found. Regardless of the change, it certainly becomes a joke. When you are fishing, if you dissolve the bait or make the bait ball bigger and smaller, is the fishing goal still different from the original fishing goal? Practice has proved that the purpose of fishing will change. In the case of sensitive fishing, the size and weight of bait groups are different when other conditions remain unchanged, so the fishing list cannot be the same. Finding 2 eyes at the bottom can only show that the water depth is in the position of 2 eyes. The number of fishing orders depends not only on the water depth, but also on several factors such as the size of bait group, the thickness of drift tail, order adjustment, fish situation and so on. Regardless of the size of the bait ball and the thickness of the drift tail, it is not appropriate to determine the fishing purpose only by the water depth. To make it clear, finding the bottom is just looking for the water depth (the water depth can be marked with any number of meshes, 2 meshes, 8 meshes and 5 meshes), and you can't expect to replace it with bait balls after finding the bottom, and the fishing net is only a few meshes. Hang plasticine on the lower hook to find the bottom. When two targets are found, the bait is empty. Obviously, after the bait is hooked, the weight increases, and the floating tail will sink, and the two orders are no longer two orders; On the contrary, if you keep 2 eyes, the bait will not float. It can be seen that it is a foolish account to find the bait state by looking for the bottom. The weight of the upper hook method or the lower hook method is hung on one hook, and the bait ball for fishing is hung on two hooks. There are many different factors, such as the size of the bait ball and the thickness of the floating tail, which are inexhaustible. It is impossible to determine the bait state by bottom-finding method. Therefore, looking for the bottom is just looking for the water depth, regardless of the size of the bait group, the thickness of the drift tail and other factors. Trying to determine the state of the hook bait only by the water depth is just a fantasy divorced from reality. Tune 4 and fish 2, you can find the bottom by hook method, and find the bottom by hook method, right? There is a problem again: the double hook method falls to the bottom, and the hook method hangs to the bottom. It's all 4 and 2. Under the condition that the size of the hook and the thickness of the drift tail are unchanged, there should be only one certain hook and bait state for one adjustment and fishing purpose. How can there be two different hook and bait States because of different ways to find the bottom? This is the most common sense question. Thus, the uncertainty of the state of hunting for bottom and bait is also disproved. If you believe those views and use that method to find the bottom, you will never find the exact state of the bait sub-line, let alone five years, that is, 10 years, 20 years. Root cause: Finding the bottom only means finding the water depth, only finding the approximate position of the bait-at the bottom of the water. There is no necessary internal relationship between water depth and bait weight, drift tail thickness and bait state. According to the data of water depth, Zhang San used fine tail drift, big bait and fishing 2 mesh, and Li Si used coarse tail drift, small bait and fishing 2 mesh. Their hooks and bait strings must be different. Of course, I can't understand what a fish hook string is underwater. It should be understood that the state of hooks and baits depends not only on the waterline, but also on the adjustment of eyes, the size of fish eyes, hooks and baits, and the thickness of drifting tails. In other words, to determine the state of the hook bait, we must make a fuss about eye adjustment, fishing eye, hook bait size and drift tail thickness, and rely on drift adjustment rather than finding the bottom. In short, the so-called bottom search can only find the water depth. Don't exaggerate the role of bottom hunting, and you can't decide the state of bait by bottom hunting. The correct drift adjustment method should be used to determine the state of the bait.
