Catfish is a bottom predator and the largest inhabitant of our water bodies. Catfish differs from other fish in a kind of large flattened head with a huge mouth. Sometimes fishermen affectionately call him "mustache" because of the mustache located on the jaws. Catfish is one of the most coveted trophies of fishermen.
It is necessary
- Fishing equipment from the bottom
- Bait (live bait)
- A boat
- Bagorik or special mitten
Instructions
Step 1
In order to catch your "mustachioed" trophy, first you need to find out from experienced anglers the presence of a catfish in the water body of your choice. And also ask about the baits that were used to catch the catfish. In each reservoir, fish have their own preferences, and catfish are especially picky in this regard. After the "reconnaissance" is made, you need to prepare for fishing.
Step 2
Then you need to prepare the tips recommended in advance. It can be poultry offal, and small fish asp, ide, pike or sabrefish. Catfish can also peck at a large bunch of crawling worms. The most common bait for catfish is a frog attached to its hind leg.
Step 3
Then you need to choose a place and time for fishing. Most often, catfish are found near the pits, which are called "catfish". During the day, the fish sit in pits, and at night they go out to feed. This means that the most successful time for catching catfish is at night.
Step 4
Having sailed on a boat to the place of fishing (or coming up from the shore), you need to make a bottom rig. It is imperative to remember that with some luck you will have to fight with large fish, so the rod must be powerful, with a reliable multiplier reel.
Step 5
After baiting the bait, the tackle is slowly lowered into the water and held near the pit. If a bite is suddenly noticed, there is no need to rush to hook. Catfish is a very sensitive and cautious predator. Even after a strong pull of the tackle, you need to wait a couple of seconds, and only then hook up.
Step 6
Then comes the most crucial period of the struggle - playing. When playing, the angler's task is to gradually tire the fish. Also, you should not let the catfish lie on the bottom, in this case it will be problematic to fight the fish. Without creating extreme loads on the tackle, the fish is gradually brought to the surface of the water, where it can already be reached either with the help of a hook, or by taking a special glove by the mouth.
