When is the best time of day to catch snakehead?

Snakehead is the common name of snakehead [lǐ], also known as snakehead, raw fish, Cai Yu, snake fish and salamander.

Snakehead is fierce, prolific and has a huge appetite. It can often eat all the other fish in the lake or pond. Snakehead can also slide on land, migrate to other waters to find food, and live for three days without water. As early as 2000 years ago, it was listed as the top grade of insect fish in Shennong Herbal Classic, along with honey, bees, beeswax (propolis), oysters, tortoise shells, ootheca mantidis, meretrix meretrix, clams and carp.

Black snakehead is a common edible fish in China, with large size, fast growth and high economic value. Snakehead has less bone spurs, high meat content and rich nutrition, which is higher than protein contained in chicken and beef. As a medicine, snakehead has the effects of removing blood stasis, promoting tissue regeneration, nourishing and recuperating. Eating snakehead after operation has the functions of promoting granulation, enriching blood and promoting wound healing, and has very rich nutritional value.

Black snakehead bears anoxia, breeds quickly and has strong adaptability, which is found in all waters of China. Let's talk about snakehead fishing in summer today.

First, according to the habit of snakehead, look for the trace of snakehead.

You don't have to make a nest to catch snakehead. The key is to find its trace. Looking for its trace often needs to be judged according to its life characteristics.

Snakehead has the habit of nesting. It often nests in the depressions of ditches, rivers and lakes, especially in quiet and grassy shallow waters. When building a nest, the dense aquatic plants are first made into a round and square hole, and the size of the individual can be judged from the size of the hole. Snakehead has the habit of loving nests. When it is scared out of its nest by a strong enemy, it will return to its nest later.

Snakehead likes to hunt in waters with dense grass and slow water. If there are plants such as reeds and lotus roots in rivers, lakes and ponds, snakeheads often haunt here. Especially in hot summer and autumn, they often hide there; In spring and late autumn, they will boldly bask in the sun on the bare water. On the bare water, it is mostly motionless and looks like a short stick. Whenever it sees food, it will suddenly rush to eat it.

The snakehead has the habit of protecting its young. May-July is its spawning and breeding period every year. After the nest is built, the male and female snakeheads cooperate, ovulate, protect eggs and hatch until the young fish disperse. In the meantime, snakeheads will never separate their nests.

At first, fish eggs were yellow floating on the water, which we called "Huang Chao". After hatching, the young fish slowly turn black, like flocks of tadpoles. They have been swimming up and down in groups, and we often call them "black nests". Before these young fish leave the nest, their parents are their bodyguards. Once the enemy invades them, they will go all out to fight it.

Second, equipped with fishing tackle for snakehead fishing.

Snakehead swims very fast in the water, and it is extremely powerful, especially for larger individuals. Once hooked, the impact is great, and small hooks, thin lines and soft rods are difficult to deal with. 6 ~ 7 meters long pole for snakehead fishing. You can choose high-quality nylon thread, but you can also choose thick thread or high-strength braided thread with a diameter of more than 0.5 mm The fishing line need not be long,1.5 ~ 2m is enough. If the fishing line is too long, it will get in the way. Attach a special hook for snakehead fishing, and do not use floats and lead pendants.

Third, bait and fishing methods

Snakehead is a pure carnivorous fish and one of the overlords of aquarium. Small animals in the water are its prey, especially fish, shrimp, frogs and even water snakes and waterfowl. So try to choose live bait when choosing bait, loach and frog are the best. If you can't find these two kinds of live bait, you can also use live small miscellaneous fish.

Try to hook from the tail to the mouth. The hook tip is slightly exposed, but not too exposed. Live bait twists and turns on the hook, which has the highest absorption to snakehead. Now some people fish with simulated bait. From the perspective of environmental protection, we should advocate the use of simulated bait.

Blackfish should go fishing for the purpose of walking and searching. Once you find the trail of snakehead, you should stop immediately. You should skillfully use the terrain and landforms to cover your figure and gradually move forward. Then, lift the pole and hang the bait quietly. The ideal throwing point is 20 ~ 25 cm away from the front end of snakehead. If there is no movement, you can lift it up and down to stop flirting.

As long as it finds delicious food, that is, it jumps on the food and bites with its mouth open, and then don't lift the fishing rod in a hurry, just wait for it to swallow and swim to deep water or grass. At this time, a series of bubbles, large and small, will appear along the way. This period is not the best time to lift the pole, but the best time is when those bubbles gradually disappear, because it has already eaten the bait. The strength of lifting the pole should be greater. You don't have to take the fish to catch snakehead, but you can pull it ashore directly with a strong fishing tackle.

Sometimes, there are no signs of snakehead, but judging from the signs, there are snakehead in this water area. For example, there are nests in this water area, grass holes in dense aquatic plants, and floating grass around the grass holes; Another example is the discovery of "Huang Chao" and "Black Nest". At this time, you can try to fish, try to lower the hook in the grass holes and ditches in this area, pat the water surface with frog bait to make the water make a "snapping" sound, or you can sink the hook for 20 ~ 40 cm and shake it to lure the nearby snakehead to prey.

Suppose in such waters, we can pick up a brick and throw it into the water for a long time. If there is a snakehead there, we will be frightened and flee to the deep water, splashing and making noise, leaving blisters all the way. We just need to remember which water area it is, and we will often get something when we go fishing the next day.
