CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Are mandarin fish still eating in October?

Mandarin fish still eat in October.

Although mandarin fish can be caught most of the year except in winter, the peak fishing season is from March to May and from September to October, which is the season of rising and falling water.

When fishing for mandarin fish, you should choose a place with fast-flowing water, a place with rocks or piled rocks on the bottom of the water, or a place with rock cracks and cave structures. This is because rocks are not only a place where clams, snails, cockles and other crustaceans gather and live, but also a gathering place for river shrimps. The dense river shrimps provide a rich natural bait for mandarin fish, which will inevitably attract groups of mandarin fish to move around and forage.

When fishing for mandarin fish, you can also cast your hook near bridge piers, bridge holes, both sides of dams extending into the water, where streams flow into rivers, lakes and reservoirs, river bends with slow currents, and areas with dense aquatic plants, as there are many fish and shrimps in these places.

Mandarin fish is a completely freshwater fish. It likes to live in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other clean water bodies with lush aquatic plants. It usually lurks at the bottom of the water during the day and moves around to look for food at night. It is a carnivorous fish with a ferocious nature and feeds on fish and other aquatic animals throughout its life. It is distributed in China, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. In China, except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is distributed in all water systems across the country.
