CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can small bream be kept alive?

1. Can small bream be kept alive?

Small breams are not suitable for living in fish tanks. Even if they are barely kept alive, they have little ornamental value. It is recommended to raise other small fish that are easier to keep. There are many kinds of miscellaneous fish suitable for home breeding, such as small willow fish, green fish and Chinese fighting fish. You can find them at the stalls specializing in selling live food in tropical fish markets.

Just feed rice grains, but do you have an air pump at home?

If there is no air pump to supply oxygen, it is basically impossible to keep the fish alive, not to mention that it is even more difficult for fish to survive in an air-conditioned room in summer...

Crucian carp is easy to raise... It can basically be raised in a rough and extensive manner...

2. A small fish commonly found in southern waters, very similar to a bream. I wonder what its scientific name is?

Rhodeinae (pronunciation: [pán pí] scientific name: Rhodeinae) is a common name for fish belonging to the N subfamily (subfamily) of the Cyprinidae order, also known as square skin, mirror fish, and colorful round fish. It is a group of small freshwater fish, divided into the genus (Rhodeus), the N genus (Acheilognathus), and the Tanakia genus. The body is oval or diamond-shaped; the head is short and the mouth is small; there is one pair of whiskers or none; the anal fin starts from the base of the dorsal fin, the dorsal and anal fins are quite long, with or without hard spines; the pelvic fins are ventral; the caudal fin is forked; the lateral line scales are complete or incomplete. Female fish in the reproductive period have ovipositors, and male fish produce nuptial colors or pearl stars.

It is an omnivorous fish that lives in slow-flowing or stagnant waters and relies on freshwater mussels (Anodonta) for reproduction. It has a small range of activity and a short lifespan. It is widely distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe.

This type of fish has extremely high ornamental and medicinal value, and is therefore favored by many fish breeding enthusiasts and medical scientists.

I know, it has some color on it, right? I often catch it when I go fishing.

3. Do you know what bait is good for fishing 3-jin bream in rivers?

1. Choosing a good fishing spot is often the key to a good harvest. Often in the same water area, fish are caught quickly in some places, while in other places, it takes a long time for the fish to bite the hook. Improper fishing position is often one of the reasons. Choosing a good fishing spot mainly depends on experience. Fish have fishways, that is, their regular swimming paths, and they also have their own habits of gathering. Generally speaking, in natural waters, such as ponds, ditches, lakes, rivers, etc., you should choose places with water plants and reeds to cast your hooks. Or you can fish near trees, under crooked trees, near rocks, and near bridge piles, which are often places where fish gather. Artificial fish ponds are generally square or rectangular. It is usually said that "fish in the waist of a long pond, fish in the corner of a square pond, and fish in the center of a round pond." Although it is not absolute, it is also a summary of experience. In fact, the area near the feeding table of an artificial fish pond is the place where fish are most likely to gather, especially before and after feeding time. The reason is self-evident. 2. Choose the right bait. It mainly refers to the food that the fish species you are fishing likes to eat the most. For example, crucian carp likes earthworms and bloodworms, carp likes cornmeal, grass carp likes reed cores and grasshoppers, pike likes sea silkworms, tilapia likes shrimps, etc. The scientifically formulated synthetic baits on the market that are tailored to the preferences of different fish are also very effective. But according to the author's 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 grab the most. In short. Before fishing, you must find out the species and habits of the fish you are fishing for. If you are not sure, you can bring several types of bait and choose when the time comes. 3. Prepare fishing gear. The preparation of fishing gear must also be carefully selected according to the fishing location, fish species and size. It is best to understand it clearly in advance. If there are no conditions, you should consider multiple possibilities and prepare several different fishing gear appropriately. 4. Practice fishing skills. Including climate, wind direction, fishing methods, various techniques, you can ask others for advice and read books, but the most fundamental thing is practice. (Author: Liu Yu) How to Fish for Snakehead Snakehead Snakehead is commonly known as black fish or mullet. It is long and stick-shaped. It has sharp teeth on both jaws. It likes to live in turbid waters. It is a ferocious carnivorous fish. Adult fish are good at ambushing and eating small fish, shrimps, aquatic insects, etc. It is sexually mature in the second winter, and the spawning period is from late May to early August. The meat is delicious, thick and tender with few bones, and is often used to make fish fillets, fish rolls, fish balls, etc. Snakehead has two major characteristics: one is that it is very fierce and has strong attack power; the other is that it loves its children as its life, and it is very protective of its eggs and young fish, and uses all its strength to protect them. Snakehead generally reaches sexual maturity in May and June. During this period, they go to the edge of shallow water grass or reeds in pairs and start to build nests. They bite off the roots of weeds and grass, float on the water surface, and reveal a basin-sized bright water hole in the middle. People call it "green nest", preparing for mating and spawning. Before spawning, the black snakehead swims around the "green nest" to protect it. After spawning, the male fish's semen is stained on the eggs, and the eggs are yellow like yellow rice balls, so people call them "yellow nests". At this time, the parents are on guard beside the nest, never leaving, and will never allow any intruders to disturb the hatching of the eggs. After the eggs hatch into fry, they gather together in black color, and are led by the parents to swim in a group, which is called "black fish last child". The fry are very similar to tadpoles, but tadpoles have big heads and small tails, while black fish fry are spindle-shaped. When frightened, they appear and disappear from time to time, while tadpoles scatter and flee after being frightened. Some people call the group of black fish fry "cruel". It is said that during the hatching process of black fish, its parents rarely eat, especially the female fish. At this time, the female fish's body gradually becomes thin and her eyesight is poor, and some of the fry become its food. It is said that the fry automatically enters the female fish's mouth to repay her for raising them. Some people think that the female fish is cruel and eats her own children, so it is called "cruel". Some people think that the young fish repays their mother, which is commendable, so in some places, black fish is also called "filial fish". In fact, it is a natural phenomenon of biological reproduction and growth. When young fish swim in groups, the male and female parent fish protect them at the same time, one behind and one in front. If there is an intruder, they will fight to the death. Moreover, when the black snakehead protects the eggs and young fish, it is often the male fish that goes into battle first. If it fails (for example, it is caught by the fisherman), after a while the female fish will stand up again and continue to protect the eggs or young fish. It can be said that they are heroic and brave. Speaking of this, the author believes that the love of the black snakehead for its children, the filial piety to its mother, and the fighting spirit are really admirable, respectable and pitiful. Thinking of this, I really feel that it should not be fished. But fishing has always been to pin one's happiness on the pain of fish. What can I do! In summary, fishing for snakehead can be divided into "green nest", "yellow nest" and "black seed" (cruel). Other fishing methods can also be used, but the first three use its nature of protecting its offspring and are the easiest to lure it to the hook. Snakeheads are ferocious and attack powerfully. They generally weigh 1-3 kg, and some are even larger. Therefore, when fishing for snakehead, you must use a bamboo pole that is strong, tough, and sturdy. The fishhook should be large (preferably more than 3 cm), and the fishing line should be thick, preferably 0.5 mm nylon line. The pole should be long, preferably more than 5 meters, and the line should be short, 2-3 meters. Frogs, small fish, etc. can generally be used as bait. The specific fishing method varies according to different "nests". (I) Green nest: Generally at the turn of spring and summer, look for weedy waterside with bitten grass floating on the water surface in a mess, with white grass roots and a basin-sized area of ​​bright water exposed in the broken grass. This is the "green nest". Under the water, there must be a pair of snakeheads. You can take a live little frog, and put the hook tip through the frog's tail to the front chamber. The hook tip is held in the frog's mouth and inserted into the upper chamber, so that the frog's mouth is open. The two legs are tied to the brain line upwards towards the hook handle, and the frog's two front legs are open, so that the little frog forms a posture of opening its mouth and facing forward to hunt. The fishing line should be two meters long. Use the fishing rod to rhythmically tap the little frog towards the "green nest" on the water surface, and be careful not to make any noise to avoid scaring away the snakeheads. The movement of the little frog will inevitably anger the snakeheads, so that they will pounce forward to devour the little frog. At this time, don't rush to lift the rod. After three or five seconds, lift the rod suddenly and immediately pull the fish up. If the fish is too big, you must wait until it is tired before pulling it up. Generally, the male fish is the first to be hooked. Seeing this, the female fish hurriedly escapes, and will come back about half an hour later. The same fishing method can be used to catch the female fish. Fishing for the green nest should generally be in the morning and evening. (ii) Yellow nest: Generally in early summer. Taking advantage of the characteristic of the black snakehead protecting its eggs, it is easier to catch it. You can still use frogs as bait, hold the rod and slowly move the bait on the fish eggs. In order to protect the fish eggs, the male fish will immediately attack and bite the bait, and you can pull it out. At this time, the female fish will not run away because she loves her eggs. Take a short break before lowering the hook, and the female fish will soon be hooked. (III) Fishing for black fish (fishing for "ruthlessness"): Generally in August and September, the fish eggs in the yellow nest hatch into small fish, and the big fish lead them to wander around. At this time, use a longer rod and line to chase the black fish, throw the bait at the young fish, and wait patiently for the male fish to get angry and swallow the bait, so that you can take the bait. In addition, there are some other fishing methods, which will not be described here. How to fish for soft-shelled turtles Liu Jing Soft-shelled turtles are also known as "round fish", "foot fish", "water fish", "turtle", and "turtle". Its characteristics are: it looks like a turtle, has a long and pointed snout, and a snake-like head. It has no horn plates on its back and abdomen, but soft leathery skin. Its back is gray-green with thick skirts on the edges. Its abdomen is milky white, with webbed fingers and toes, three fingers on the inside, and claws on the toes. The soft-shelled turtle mainly lives in water and is an amphibian that breathes with lungs. It can be found in all parts of my country from south to north. It likes to live in waters with beaches or hillsides on the shore. The suitable water temperature for soft-shelled turtles to eat and grow is 20-33 degrees Celsius. It stops eating when the temperature is below 15 degrees. Therefore, the suitable season for fishing soft-shelled turtles is about April to October every year. The best time is between summer and autumn. The soft-shelled turtle has a long lifespan. The common saying "a thousand-year-old turtle lives for a thousand-year-old tortoise" describes its long lifespan. It grows slowly. In the natural environment, a soft-shelled turtle weighing 1.5 kilograms needs to be over 5 winters. Some people say that soft-shelled turtles have sensitive vision and hearing, so you must keep quiet when fishing for soft-shelled turtles. Others say that they have strong vision and weak hearing, and they will immediately hide in the water once they see a suspicious human figure. In fact, soft-shelled turtles are timid and highly alert. They will be alerted by any movement and hide in the water without eating. Therefore, you should keep quiet when fishing for soft-shelled turtles and avoid shaking your body. It is best to hide in natural barriers, such as bushes, behind big trees, and in tall reeds. Some people also use green plastic cloth to build a tent when there is no natural barrier, dig a small hole, and the angler hides behind to observe the movement of the float. In order not to alarm the soft-shelled turtles. When soft-shelled turtles crawl on the bottom of the water, small bubbles often emerge from the water surface. From the movement of the bubbles, you can judge its route and thus determine that there are soft-shelled turtles under the water, so you can fish. Although soft-shelled turtles can also be caught with general fishing gear, such as people often catch soft-shelled turtles when fishing for other fish, large rods, thick lines, and larger fish hooks should be used when fishing for soft-shelled turtles. For example, a single-section bamboo pole, the tip should not be too thin; 4--10 nylon line; long-handled hooks such as 115--116-shaped crane beaks, 415--416-shaped rings, etc. Fish baits are generally better with meat baits, such as earthworms, silkworm pupae, grasshoppers, etc. But the best is pork liver or sheep liver. Fresh corn kernels are also very good baits among vegetarian baits. For bait, you can choose Laogui brand turtle attractant. If you dip the attractant on pork liver as bait, the effect will be better. After finding food, turtles always smell and arch carefully first, then bite lightly, and swallow it when there is no movement. Therefore, it is better to lift the rod later than earlier. Due to the above-mentioned eating action, the float often moves first, and then moves up and down slowly. You can lift the rod after doing this continuously. After it is hooked, it often grabs the ground with four claws, as if it is stuck on the bottom. At this time, do not pull it hard, and wait for it to move by itself to lift it out of the water. Some people also make a thick iron ring slightly larger than the bottom handle of the fishing rod in advance. When the turtle grabs the ground, put the ring into the bottom handle, gently lift the back of the fishing rod, and let the ring slide along the rod and line until it hits the turtle under the water. The turtle is shocked and loosens its claws, and then it can be lifted up. Once the turtle is out of the water, it loses the ability to struggle, but it is more troublesome to remove the hook. Generally, if it does not swallow deeply, you can put it on the ground and press its back to pull out the hook, or use branches, bamboo sticks, etc. to lure it to open its mouth, take advantage of the situation to insert it into its mouth, and pull the hook down and out. However, if the turtle encounters something in its mouth, it often bites it tightly and does not let go, so this move is not easy to work without experience. Experienced anglers often take advantage of the fact that the turtle will first stick out its neck when turning over, turn the turtle over, make its back face the ground, and when it wants to turn over and stick out its neck, quickly pinch its neck, step on its abdomen, pull out its neck and then remove the hook, but this also requires skill and no hesitation, otherwise it will be difficult to pinch it, and it may be scratched by its front claws. If it really doesn't work, you can only cut the fishing line and go home to slaughter it before processing. The whole body of the turtle is a treasure. It is said that its shell, meat, blood, eggs, and gallbladder all have medicinal value. Of course, it must be used according to the doctor's instructions. But the turtle meat is fresh and the soup is delicious. You must taste it after catching it. In some places, people don't use fish hooks to fish for turtles. Instead, they take a clothes needle, remove the nostrils at the end with the nose, and grind it into a needle tip, so that both ends are needle-shaped. The fishing line is tied to the middle of the needle (a groove is carved in the middle of the needle to make it firm) and a pork liver strip is hung on it instead of a fish hook and thrown into the water. After the turtle eats, it gets stuck in the neck and cannot break free. It can be fished out smoothly, but it is more troublesome to make. Some people use this kind of needle to hang the pork liver, and tie it to a short bamboo pole with a bite-proof fishing line. The fishing line can be long or short according to the location of the fishing point, and the bamboo pole is inserted on the shore. Several such fishing poles can be made at the same time. During the day, you can watch the changes in the line, or you can install a float to observe the fish signal. At night, as long as the bamboo pole is firmly inserted into the soil, you can leave it alone, because the turtle swallows this needle hook and cannot spit it out. You can go to the shore to get it after dawn. How to fish for grass carp? The best place to fish for grass carp is to fish against the wind, facing the sun, under a big tree, next to water plants, at the water inlet, and at the feeding point. Grass carp generally like to fish big ones, at least 1 kilogram or more to be satisfied. Therefore, the fishing rod should be strong and tough, and the length depends on the fishing waters. Hand rods and sea rods are both acceptable. The line should be between 0.3 and 0.5 mm, and the hook can be Isni 514.515.516 or round 915.916. Of course, you can also choose according to your personal habits. Bait, as mentioned above, can be selected according to actual conditions. Bait can generally be broken grass, millet soaked in wine, wine lees, granular bait, etc. There are many ways to fish for grass carp. In addition to the commonly used methods of bottom fishing, several methods for fishing grass carp are listed for reference by anglers: 1. Floating grass to attract fish: Pick some fresh green grass and scatter it on the waterside with the wind, let it drift with the water, hook the grass bait on the hand pole or sea pole, lightly sink and float shallowly, put the hook with grass bait in the floating grass, let it flow down with the floating grass, and once the fish bites the hook (see the float), lift the pole in time. 2. Bottom grass nest fishing method: Pull out several grass or reeds with mud and tie them together, and then tie them with stones below, and drop them into the water to be fished to make a nest (three or four can be made in different places). Once there are fish stars or broken grass floating in the grass nest, there will be fish in the nest, and you can hook the grass and cast the pole. You should change the nest when you catch 1-2 fish. Go to another nest prepared in advance to fish, and take turns. Some people also ambush hooks in the grass bundles, and the grass bundles have ropes that can be pulled up on the shore. After the fish is hooked, pull up the grass bundles to take the fish. 3. Reed core fishing method: Fresh and tender reed core is the favorite food of grass carp. You can use several sections of tender core to cross the hook, and the last section to cross the hook tip vertically. You can fish both floating and bottom. If there is no aquatic plant near the fishing spot, put a few reed leaves or green leaves on the hook handle first, and then put the bait on, so as to attract the attention of swimming fish. 4. Insect fishing method: Use locusts, crickets, mantises, moths, etc. as bait. If the insect is too large, you can cut off its head, wings, and legs, and put the hook from the head to the tail. Generally, floating fishing should be carried out, and semi-floating fishing and bottom fishing can also be carried out. Live bait is easy to obtain locally. In early spring, late winter, or in hot weather, grass carp has a poor appetite, so live bait is often effective. 5. Sea rod fishing method: You can use explosive hooks, and mix a small amount of green grass leaves in the bad food to attract the attention of fish. Or use a string of hooks, usually three to four, and different baits can be used. Among them, there should be reed leaves, grass leaves, etc. For string hooks, you can choose a hollow heavy sinker. After the fishing line passes through, tie a small circle on the line to prevent the lead sinker from falling off, and when necessary, you can hang the explosive hook on the bait to attract the fish. Tie a coil every 10 cm on the sinker to hook the hook. Three or four are fine. To determine whether there are grass carps in the pond, you can look at the water surface downwind to see if there are clumps of green grass carp feces floating. In wild waters, you can judge from the traces of chewing the tender grass on the shore and its floating feces. When fishing for grass carp in the wild, generally in shallow waters (about 1 meter), you should choose a deeper place to fish, and in deep waters (more than 3 meters), you should choose a shallow place to fish. When grass carp eats, the float often moves first and then rises, and then sinks. You can lift the rod whether it rises or sinks. You should first shake your wrist hard to hook the fish, and then control it and lead it along the way. Grass carp has long endurance, so you should be patient when leading it. Wait until it turns white and becomes weak before scooping it up with a scoop net. Fishing for white pomfret Small steel white pomfret is a new species of freshwater aquaculture in my country in recent years. It is native to the Amazon River in South America. It is a kind of tropical and subtropical edible ornamental fish. Its scientific name is "short-capped giant characin". It looks very similar to the pomfret (bottle fish) in the sea. It has bright color and red color from the bottom of its mouth to the abdomen. It looks like the tropical fish-swallow fish among ornamental fish, which is quite ornamental. It was introduced to Taiwan Province of my country in 1982 and introduced to the mainland in 1985. At present, it is being cultivated all over the country from south to north. This fish has delicious meat and high nutritional value. It also has the advantages of fast growth, wide diet, large size and strong disease resistance, so it is favored by breeders and anglers. Freshwater pomfret has a wide diet, eats both meat and vegetables, and has a large appetite. Live food is often its main target. Fishing for white pomfret is quite easy, because it eats fiercely. In places where fish gather, it often swallows the hook and bait in its mouth before it falls to the bottom. Therefore, the ratio of hook, line and sinker is not strict. However, because its weight is generally more than 1 kg, and the large ones can reach several kilograms, the fishing rod must be strong and hard. This fish has sharp teeth and serrations. It not only often bites off the fishing line, but also the fish hook is often bitten off by it. Therefore, it is necessary to use a larger fish hook and a thicker fishing line. The forehead line can be made of multiple strands of nylon silk thread. Or twist it with strong nylon thread and use it as the forehead line. Some people remove the copper wire from the thin plastic wire and put it on the forehead line to prevent it from being bitten off. But if it is too hard, it will be insensitive and easy to get off the hook. When fishing for white pomfret in a fish pond, the choice of bait should also be based on the feeding habits of the pond, and the right bait should be selected. White pomfret generally moves in the center of the pond, and there are rarely traces of it on the edge, so a longer fishing rod should be selected, such as 5.4, 6.3 meters, etc. You can also use a throwing rod brush to hook the double hook to get close to the middle of the pond. Some places use semi-water fishing, which should be selected according to different ponds, different conditions, and different climates. Because white pomfret eats fiercely and has sharp teeth, once the float sinks, the rod should be raised quickly and lifted up as soon as possible to prevent it from biting off the hook and escaping. Fishing Wuchang fish old man With the rise of aquaculture, Wuchang fish is now very common in ponds in northern and southern my country, so it has also become one of the target fish for fishing enthusiasts. Wuchang fish is a small fish. In pond farming, it generally does not exceed 1 kilogram, but four or five hundred grams. The angler is also very satisfied with the catch. Therefore, the fishing gear can generally be the same as the gear for fishing crucian carp. Wuchang fish is a middle and lower layer fish, generally bottom fishing is adopted, and sometimes semi-floating fishing can be adopted when conditions are suitable. It is an omnivorous fish that eats both meat and vegetables, and is greedy and greedy. It likes to fight for food in groups, and especially likes the taste of wine lees. Therefore, you can mix distiller's grains with cornmeal, knead them into several apple-sized balls, and sprinkle them into the water as bait. Steamed cornmeal and distiller's grains as bait often have good harvests. Earthworms, red worms, shrimps, mulberries, and sweet potatoes are also popular with it. In the breeding pond, it is best to use dispersed granular bait and cooked cornmeal together as bait. There are many ways to fish for bream, and different places often have their own unique fishing methods due to their own conditions. Generally speaking, there are some fishing methods as follows: 1. Hand rod bottom fishing: basically the same as crucian carp fishing. It is especially suitable in fish ponds. But it is not as stable as crucian carp in eating, and the float often suddenly lifts up, or quickly blackens, so the rod must be lifted in time. If earthworms and shrimps are used as bait, they should be pulled from time to time to attract the attention of the fish. 2. Long rod short line fishing grass seam: In waters with many weeds, you can use a long rod and short line to select grass seams where you can hook. First, use millet soaked in wine to make a nest, and then hang the fishhook with bait (use a single hook) along the grass seam into the nest, hold a long pole and wait, and lift the pole in time according to the situation when the float moves. It is a bit similar to the arch fishing method for crucian carp. 3. Mulberry fishing method: In the south, there are often mulberry trees by the water. In summer and autumn, mulberries turn from red to purple and black and often fall into the water when they are ripe. This becomes a good bait for fish. Bream, grass carp, etc. will compete for food. People often take this opportunity to use mulberries as bait, imitate mulberries falling from the tree, and throw the hook into the water to fish (if the hook enters the water instead of falling from the tree, the fish will not be fooled). But note that because you are fishing under the tree, the line should be short, so that it is easy to pull it up once it is hooked. 4. Half floating: Half floating fishing is often used in the grass or ponds with water peanuts. Especially in the south, the water does not freeze in winter. Fishing in the grass and water peanuts can often achieve good results. The bait used is generally a whole red earthworm. 5. Fishing far with a sea rod: In large water farms, sometimes the fish are concentrated far away from the shore, and you can use a throwing rod to fish. The method is basically the same as the general sea rod fishing method, but bream often eats small movements, and the rod tip is not easy to be pulled. If you hang a bell, it often swings very little and is not easy to judge. Therefore, you should concentrate on it. If you find a light point, you should be prepared. Once the fishing line goes down or returns, lift the rod in time. 6. There are many other fishing methods in other places, such as Zhejiang's coil sweet potato fishing, Shanghai's ham sausage kick hook fishing, etc., each with its own characteristics, which will not be repeated one by one. How to fish for light fish Xiaolei "Light (this word should have a fish next to it) fish", also called "sea catfish", "catfish light fish", "silly catfish light", "silly Lengba". It is a bottom fish that lives in seawater. Its skin is gray or gray on the back and yellow on the belly. Its body is shaped like a carrot. Its head is large and flat, slightly similar to that of a freshwater catfish. It has a large mouth but no whiskers. Its tail is very thin. Generally, a natural fish is 15-20 cm long at one year old, and can reach 30 cm when it is over one year old. It is cold in the north in winter, so it generally cannot survive the winter. In recent years, shrimp ponds have used it to select excellent shrimps. Fish and shrimps are mixed, and bait is sufficient. 30-centimeter light fish are not uncommon. "Light fish" likes meat. Earthworms, sea silkworms, and small shrimps are all its delicious food. If you really don't have it, just try to get a small light catfish, cut it into several small pieces, and you can keep fishing. Light fish eat fiercely. They swallow it into their mouths and are reluctant to spit it out. Their lips are tightly closed and their cheeks are bulging, so they are very easy to catch. Catching light catfish is not about size, but about quantity. One or twenty is not a problem. Dozens or even hundreds of them are often caught. Nowadays, it is easier to fish with a normal fishing rod, a large hook, and a fishing rod of appropriate length, but the rod should be harder, and more hooks should be tied to catch fish faster. You can also use a sea rod and string hooks to fish at the seaside. It is interesting to brush the small radium mullet. The mullet is also called white stripe, mullet, green back, white float, green scale, etc. In some places, the wheat ear fish is also called mullet, but they are actually two different fish. The mullet belongs to the Cyprinidae of the fish class, and the wheat ear fish is also called mosquito fish. It belongs to the fish class, mosquito fish family, and both are small fish. The mullet is generally 5-6 cm long, and the largest is about 17-18 cm long. The body length of 13-14 cm is mostly over 2 years old. This fish is silvery white, with fine scales and many thorns. It often forages in groups on the water surface, swims quickly, and often competes for food when it finds food. It has a very mixed diet and is suitable for both meat and vegetables. Sometimes they also move around in the middle and lower layers of the water to look for food, but they mainly look for food in the middle and upper layers. When swimming in groups on the water surface, they will quickly dive underwater when they see a shadow swaying, and then float to the surface again after a while. There are many ways to fish for mullets, and the most interesting one is to "brush" mullets. Because mullets often swim in groups on the water surface and like to scramble for bait, people often use fishing rods to hang bait and throw it to the swimming fish school, letting them scramble for food and then pull back the hook to catch the fish. There are several specific methods: (1) No-float brushing fishing method: Because you need to hold the rod in your hand and keep pulling it when fishing, the fishing rod must be light, thin, long, with a soft tip, thin line, and small hook. The length of the fishing line should be equal to the rod so that it is easy to throw. The bait is "fly tiger" (it looks like a spider, does not make a web, often clings to the screen window waiting for flies to fly to prey, has a very light body, and floats on the water when it falls into the water), flies or maggots. Generally, the hook is thrown out by swinging the rod vigorously without sinking, or a knot is tied about 5 cm above the hook. The left hand holds the knot, the right hand holds the rod, the tip of the rod is bent, and the elastic force of the tip of the rod is used to suddenly release the left hand, so that the fish hook pops out to the floating fish school. The bait is required to float on the water surface, attracting fish to grab food, and then it is pulled up. In order to attract fish, it is gently pulled back after being thrown out until it is pulled in front, and then thrown out again. This is repeated. Often, the fish will grab food after being thrown out, or the fish will swallow it during the pulling back process, so it is caught. This method requires continuous throwing and pulling, so it is more laborious, but it is quite interesting. (II) Light floating brush fishing method: Similar to the above method, but with light sinkers and small floats. After throwing out, watch the float sink and lift the fish. Generally, when there are many fish, they bite the hook quickly, so you need to lift the rod immediately, pick up the fish and then throw it out, so it is also brush fishing back and forth. This method can use bait to attract fish. The bait should be fragrant, sour, loose and floating. It is best to use fine rice bran, bean curd residue, wheat bran and other fermented materials. Because the bait floats on the water surface, it can attract fish. At this time, throw the bait into the nest and the fish will rush to eat it. The bait can be flies, maggots, cabbage worms, earthworms, glutinous rice cakes, etc. The maggots need to be rinsed with water. When threading the hook, the hook tip should be inserted from one of the three holes at the tail of the maggot at a time until the barb penetrates into its body or comes out of its mouth, and a little bit of the hook tip is exposed before the hand can be released to prevent the maggot's body fluid from spilling. It is also possible to use earthworms as bait. In order to prevent the earthworms from being eaten quickly by the minnows, the earthworms can be moved up to the hook handle when threading the hook, so that there is no bait exposed from the hook back to the hook tip, and the bait is installed in the hook handle. Since the bream eats fiercely and runs away after biting, the hook tip will be easily hooked without bait blocking it, thus increasing the fish catching rate and saving bait. (III) Floating fishing method in flowing water: There are often schools of bream swimming on the surface of flowing rivers or streams. You can use a short casting rod, thin line, small hook, small sinker, float, and sensitive small winding reel. Put maggots, vegetable worms or earthworms on the fish hook, first sprinkle floating bait on the water surface to attract fish, throw the fish hook and float to the school of fish in the flowing water, loosen the winding reel, let the float float with the flowing water, and when you see the float sinking, stop the reel and lift the rod to lift the fish, pick up the fish, arrange the bait after picking up the fish, and then throw it out again. Repeating this process often yields a good harvest. The depth of fishing in this method can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In addition, when fishing for crucian carp, if you encounter bream disturbing the hook, you can also adjust the fish hook to a semi-floating position and change to fishing for bream. The body of the mullet is small, the meat is fine and tender, but it has many thorns. It is often cut open, cleaned, dipped in dry starch, fried, and eaten with pepper and salt. The fun of fishing for mullet lies in changing from passively waiting for the fish to actively sending the hook to the fish; changing from standing on the side and waiting to constantly swinging the fishing rod, so it is a special kind of fun. The most annoying thing about fishing is the wheat ear snatching food and disturbing the hook. The wheat ear fish is also known as the arowana, the mixed girl, the meat column fish, the willow fish, and the mosquito fish. It mainly feeds on midge larvae, mosquito larvae, and various food debris. The wheat ear fish is small, generally more than 10 centimeters, and its mouth is particularly small, so it is difficult to swallow food into its mouth. It likes to take food and eat it in pieces. Therefore, whether it is earthworms, bloodworms, or pasta, it actively snatches food, and often runs away with it in its mouth. The bait of the angler is easily taken away by it and no fish can be caught. It is very annoying. Fishing, especially fishing for not too big fish such as crucian carp, is most susceptible to interference. In the past, rural areas used water storage ponds to raise some fish, but they were afraid that people would fish secretly, so they raised some wheat ears in the ponds. When people went fishing, they were disturbed by the wheat ears, and it was difficult to have a good harvest. As a result, they stayed away from fishing, achieving the purpose of protecting the fish in the pond. The wheat ear fish is widely distributed, and its traces can be found in almost all freshwater waters. But specifically, there are more wheat ears in still waters and waters with low water transparency, while there are fewer wheat ears in waters with fast and deep currents. In ponds with more water plants, wheat ears are more likely to swallow a large number of various fish eggs attached to the water plants. The best way to prevent wheat ears from disturbing the hook is to work hard on the bait. First, the bait should be large, second, it should be hard, and third, granular bait, such as corn kernels, dried tofu, grasshoppers, dry synthetic granular bait, etc., can avoid its interference. However, if you catch too many wheat ears, they are also delicious dishes. If you eat in the suburbs of our area, the host will serve you a variety of aquatic products. Roasted wheat ear fish is often an indispensable dish. It is like a fish with a spine in the middle, which is very convenient to eat, so it is quite popular. Therefore, fishing for wheat ear fish has become a hobby for some people. Because it can be caught for free in reservoirs and some natural ditches and rivers. The fishing gear for wheat ear fishing can highlight the word "small", small rod, small hook, small float, small sinker, small (thin) line. The line can be from 0.6 to 2. It is best to use a short centipede float, or a small vertical float. The hook should be a short-handled thin hook. The sinker is best to use a narrow leather strip or toothpaste skin. The bait can be a thin earthworm, just wrap around the hook tip, not beyond the hook tip, otherwise the fish will bite the bait and not take the bait. When wheat ear fish bites the hook, it often bites and runs away, so the float shows a sharp sinking. It is necessary to lift the rod in time, otherwise there will often be an empty hook and some of it will be bitten by the fish. You can also use white flour as bait, but it is troublesome to change the bait for each hook. When fishing wheat ears, if the fish suddenly stop biting the hook, it is often a signal that a big fish has entered the nest. You should pay close attention to it, as you may catch a big fish.
