When Is Raft Fishing Easy?

Raft fishing, as the name suggests, refers to fishing on fishing rafts and other tools. Chinese fishermen generally fish in freshwater aquaculture areas, near breeding cages, or deep water areas of reservoirs. This fishing method can go deep into the center of the waters to fish. The target fish almost covers most common freshwater fish. Let’s take a look at when raft fishing is good!

1. Discussion on time

When to fish for rafts, it depends on the target fish. The best fishing time for raft fish is different. For example, in summer, the most ideal time of day is early morning, evening and night. If you fish for grass carp, it is recommended to choose a time with relatively high temperature and water temperature for fishing. Therefore, raft fishing should choose the best fishing time according to the region, season, and target fish, so as to adapt to the time, place and fish.

2. Fishing spot selection

1. Spring: The water level in spring is steady and drops, cold and warms, and clear and turbid. It is advisable to find deep and go to a large nest to fish in the distance. When fishing, choose a warm and weak weather on the day. Not only are people comfortable, but the fish also like to swim and forage for food, so the effect is naturally good.

2. Summer: In early summer, you should fish in the deep pool in the central part of the lake and reservoir, and you can expect to get big fish. After midsummer, the water level rises and the water color is turbid. You should choose shallow areas. The reason is that fish are often against the water and like to go to new water, which will cause fast nests and have a high frequency of hooking.

3. Autumn: The heat starts to slow down in early autumn, and the water level begins to stabilize. Fishing is the main time. Mid-to-late autumn is the best time for raft fishing. The temperature is suitable, the water level is stable, the fish are actively foraging, making nests works and fish biting the hook all day.

4. Winter: Raft fishing in early winter is often harvested, mainly in accordance with the various conditions of mid- and late autumn. In the middle and late winter, we should find deep and quiet waters to guard the nest according to the trend of water gradually becoming colder. We should fish in the nest often to attract the surrounding fish to gather in the nest.

3. Raft fishing tools

1. Rod: For raft fishing beginners, please do not buy too expensive raft fishing rods. Just choose the most ordinary one. Although the possibility of raft fishing rod breaking is relatively small, novices often have improper operation. It is best to practice with an ordinary rod first.

2. Wheel: It is recommended to buy a raft fishing wheel with a thrust device, so that it is easier to control when encountering large fish. If economic conditions allow, you can choose a black snapper wheel. High-speed is more comfortable for novices to use than a thrust wheel. After being proficient, you can choose a fishing wheel without thrust.

3. Hook: The target fish for raft fish are basically larger fish. Therefore, you should choose the hooks with strong, strong, sharp hooks, and not easy to blunt according to the actual fish situation and water conditions. Especially the hooks must be strong.

4. Line: When fishing for rafts, you should choose the fishing line according to the fish situation and water conditions. The thinner the line within a certain range, the better. For example, if you can catch carp with about 3 kilograms, you can use the No. 1.5 line. If there are fewer large fish in the water area, you can use the No. 1.5 main line to catch crucian carp.

4. Things to note

1. Pay attention to safety when fishing in rafts. Whether newbies or veterans, they must wear life jackets.

2. It is recommended that two or three fishing friends go together when fishing, especially in unfamiliar waters.

3. When fishing at rafts, you should look at the weather forecast. It is not recommended to fish in thunderstorms, strong winds or fog.

4. It is best to put electronic products such as mobile phones, car keys and other products in a waterproof sealed bag when fishing.
