CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A better eel bait than earthworms

1. Better eel bait than earthworms

In addition to earthworms, many other baits can be used to trap eels. For example, in addition to insects, you can also use high-protein baits such as silkworm pupae, maggots, snail meat, clam meat, and small fish and shrimps to catch eels. The effect is particularly good.

Cage-caught eels can use fresh live baits that eels like to eat, such as fresh small fish, shrimps, live earthworms, pig liver or chicken liver, etc. In addition, eels generally do not live in deep water areas, so trapping eels should be done in shallow waters, near water plants.

2. How many meters can you smell the eel when fishing with clove and five-colored ferula?

10 meters.

Eels mainly rely on their sense of smell to find food, and their visibility is about ten meters. Eels are naturally particularly sensitive to the fishy smell of earthworms and they love to eat them.

After soaking cloves and five-colored ferula in liquor for one month, they can be mixed with earthworms to catch eels.

Eels mainly feed on animal baits, and they like to eat fresh baits, such as various insects and their larvae, earthworms, small fish and shrimps, silkworm pupae, fly maggots, snails, clams, large zooplankton, livestock and poultry viscera and tadpoles, etc. The bait should be fresh and not rotten. In places where animal baits are insufficient, some plant baits, such as bean cakes, bran or corn flour, can be fed. The above plant baits can be mixed with minced fish and shrimp meat into a wet ball (which can stay in the water for a long time) and then fed.

Larger baits should be chopped up or hung in the pond for the fish to tear and eat. Hard-shelled baits such as snails, clams and mussels should have their shells crushed before being put in. Residual bait should be removed before feeding to avoid affecting water quality.

3. What role do earthworms play in eel breeding?

When the yellow eel seedlings are cultivated after being fished out, they generally feed mainly on plankton in the water for the first 5 to 7 days. At this time, they can also be fed with egg yolks artificially. On the 7th to 15th day, they mainly feed on water earthworms. Although the number of water earthworms eaten by yellow eel seedlings is small, they are indispensable in the cultivation of eel seedlings. For farmers who cultivate yellow eel seedlings in small quantities, if they can catch some water earthworms in the wild ditch, they can also not cultivate water earthworms, and temporarily catch them outside to feed them. If a large-scale eel seedling breeding is carried out, it is best to artificially cultivate water earthworms. Water earthworms are also called water silk earthworms, and some places call them "red worms". Water earthworms are distributed all over the country. Because of their small size, they are currently cultivated as living fears for yellow eel seedlings. Because their breeding is very simple and the reproduction speed is amazing, the daily output per square meter during the peak period can reach about 50 grams. It is currently widely used in yellow eel breeding, especially seedling cultivation. In order to meet the growth needs of cultivated yellow eel seedlings, in addition to introducing them into the eel seedling cultivation pond for cultivation, we usually also need to build a special pond for cultivation.
