CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why do fish not eat some earthworms?

Not every fish likes to eat earthworms. When fishing, the food put on the hook to lure the fish is mostly the food that some fish like to eat, mainly by stimulating the fish's appetite. For example, crucian carp likes to eat earthworms; when fishing for red worms and carp, cornmeal is used; grass carp uses reed cores and grasshoppers; pike likes to eat sea silkworms; tilapia likes to eat shrimps, etc.

1. The scientifically formulated synthetic baits on the market that cater to the preferences of different fish are also very effective. But according to my experience, the most likely bait to be caught is the bait that is often fed to fish in the fishing pond. Pasta with good viscosity is often the bait that fish like to eat the most. In short, you must find out the species and habits of the fish you are fishing for before fishing. If you are not sure, you can bring several types of bait and choose when the time comes.

2. Anything that can be hung on a fishhook can be used as bait. Bait can be divided into freshwater bait and saltwater bait. Saltwater bait mainly includes clams, worms, and herring. Freshwater bait uses millet and rice bones. When preparing bait for competitive fishing, the three elements of luring, gathering, and catching must be taken into consideration. Otherwise, you will encounter the phenomenon that you cannot lure or catch fish; you can lure or catch fish but cannot catch them; you can catch fish but cannot catch them.

3. According to the principle of attracting fish, fishing bait can be divided into real bait and fake bait. The so-called real bait is a general name for animal and plant baits that fish can eat, which mainly attracts fish by stimulating their appetite. Fake bait, also known as simulated fishing bait or artificial bait, is a small device made of plastic, metal or other materials that resembles small fish, shrimp and insects. When fishing, the angler can operate it to make it resemble natural living things in the water, so as to attract fierce fish to take the bait.

Bait selection

1. Size selection

(1) Depending on the size of the fish, you should use small baits when fishing for small fish. For example, when fishing for small crucian carp, the bait should be the size of a mung bean. If you are fishing for large fish weighing more than 250 grams, the bait should be the size of a small jujube or peanut.

(2) Depending on the season, in early spring or late autumn when the temperature is low and the water is cooler, fish move slowly and open their mouths small when feeding, so you should choose small bait when fishing. If you fish in summer, because the weather is hot, fish are very active and have a strong appetite, so you should use larger bait when fishing.

2. Soft or hard selection

Soft baits do not fog or fall off and are also soft, so once the fish hook is bitten by the fish, it can easily penetrate into the fish's mouth, so the chance of catching fish with soft baits is higher. However, soft baits have the disadvantage of being easily broken by small fish, so soft baits are only used when fishing in artificial fish ponds or still waters.

Hard bait can not only wrap tightly around the fish hook, but also is not easy to break even if soaked in water for a long time. Therefore, it reduces the number of bait changes, prolongs the fishing time, and ultimately increases the chance of catching fish. In addition, hard bait is not easily bitten by small fish and can attract many big fish, so it is often used in fishing in wild rivers or flowing waters.

3. Vegetarian and meat options

Common vegetarian baits include pasta, rice grains, sweet potatoes, vegetable leaves, tender grass, tender corn, tomatoes, mulberries, bananas, and some plant-based commercial baits. Common meat baits include earthworms, red worms, maggots, grasshoppers, crickets, shrimps, oil gourds, caterpillars, liver and intestines of chickens and ducks, and some animal-based commercial baits.

Choose different vegetarian or meat baits according to the season, water conditions, fish conditions, etc. Grass carp, crucian carp, carp and other fish like to eat both meat and vegetables. However, after the entire winter incubation period, and entering the estrus and spawning period, the thin fish will urgently need a large amount of high-protein meat baits, such as earthworms, bloodworms, etc.

In late autumn, when fish are about to enter hibernation, they need a lot of meat to store more high-protein nutrients. If you use thawed small fish as bait, you should keep them in a semi-thawed state to prevent them from being too rotten to be caught by the hook.

First, as far as the season is concerned, mid-April is the breeding season for crucian carp. Crucian carp likes to eat earthworms the most, just like a woman giving birth, she always has to eat a few more chickens.

Second, as far as fishing grounds are concerned, the more primitive and wild the fishing ground is, the more fish like to eat earthworms, because in the environment where they live, earthworms are their most delicious food.

3. As for the water level, fish love to eat earthworms when the water level rises. In April 2010, Mr. Junwu came to Xiangyin to teach fishing skills. It happened to be the rainy season, and the river water rose sharply, rising more than one meter in a week. At this time, the river water submerged a large area of ​​the river bank. The earthworms had to crawl out of the holes to escape, and they became a delicacy for fish. At this time, earthworms were more effective than powder baits in catching crucian carp. I used earthworms to catch small fish continuously and became the "king of small fish", while Mr. Junwu used "Junwu's Favorite" to catch several big fish, and he became the "king of big fish".

Fourth, in terms of terrain, ideal fishing grounds use powder baits, while groundworms are better for fishing grounds with complex terrain. In competition venues, the bottom of the fishing ground is flat and free of aquatic plants, so of course everyone will use powder baits. In the wild fishing area of ​​Dongting Lake, the underwater terrain is complex and there are many aquatic plants, especially the invisible aquatic plants on the bottom of the water. Earthworms will fly away from the sails, and fish can be caught even if they land on the aquatic plants.

Fifth, as far as water flow is concerned, earthworms are better for flowing water, and powder bait is better for still water. When the drainage channel is draining, fish are actively foraging. If earthworms are used, the water flow will not disperse the bait, so earthworms are of course better.

Sixth, in terms of fish size, earthworms are better for small crucian carp, while for large fish, especially carp, "Luo Li + Tian Xia Li" or "Three-in-One Carp" is better. I used earthworms before and rarely caught carp, but later I used "Three-in-One Carp" and I often caught carp in winter.

7. As for the fish, earthworms are good in places with many small fish, and powder bait is good in places with many small fish. Last autumn, Xiaba Lake in Xiangyin County entered the golden season for fishing. I invited two fishing friends, "Zhimi Ye Diao", to go there to have fun. There were too many small fish and crucian carp. Zhimi Ye Diao used powder bait, but the bait could not reach the bottom. It was snatched away by whitebait and fish halfway. Occasionally, it reached the bottom and caught a crucian carp. I was too familiar with this fishing ground. I used earthworms, but the small fish did not snatch the earthworms, so crucian carp kept coming.

8. As far as operation is concerned, it is better for beginners to use earthworms, because it is easy to operate and the fishing adjustment does not need to be very accurate. For platform fishing, the bait must be mixed just right, the float must be just in place, and the hook and line group cannot be too big or too small.

Maybe you gave the earthworms a smell that fish don't like, such as the smell of cigarettes. We have a kind of earthworm that is large and green-gray in color. It smells like stink bugs. If you break it, the smell sticks to your hands and is hard to wash off. Maybe fish like kaibo don't like to eat it.

Are there any? I have been fishing for more than ten years and I have never seen a worm that a fish would not eat.

I don't like it. Let's change the taste.
