Hello, this is Madara of the tester.
It is getting colder and it is like finally midwinter. The proportion of fish during the breeding season has also declined, and it will be for season of pattern fishing.
Speaking of how to fish at low water temperature in winter, what kind of fishing do you do? Perhaps many people will answer “bottom fishing”.
However, I would like to explain how to fish with a focus on retrieve games of winding fishing.
There are various types of bottom fishing, but bottom bumps, bottom stays, digital winding, etc. are famous.
In midwinter, can’t you catch fish with the retrieve fishing method?
No, you can do it. Even if you’ve been working on a fishing method that you know you can catch, like a bottom bump, the drawer will not increase, so let’s consider winding method.
In the first place, why was bottom bump popular in fishing methods at low water temperatures in winter? It is a popular trend because “fishing of switching” is effective that it looks like a “move and stop”, the because fish is slow moving at the bottom of the pond.
Let’s use this concept for fishing your retrieve.
First of all, the condition is that the fish moves poorly at low water temperature. There are also various low water temperatures. If 3 ° C lasts for 3 days and reaches 4 ° C, the water temperature is high. If 10 ° C continues and reach 5 ° C be in low water temperature.
Since there are situations where 4 degrees is a high water temperature and 5 degrees is a low water temperature, the transition of temperature and water temperature up to the day is important.
After that, when thinking throughout the day, the flow will be low in the early morning, high in the daytime, and low in the evening.
Considering the basic conditions, we consider fishing with external factors such as artificial pressure and feed time.
The basic idea is that low water temperature equal fish slow moving, and therefore a retrieving is also slow.
Reeling a lightweight spoon, that’s it, but in fact, there are many cases where the person who can be wound neatly and uniformly it can not in fisherman of the intermediate level.
If you do not wind while keeping in mind the dirt on the line, the position of the water drop and the surface of the water, and the wind, the range of the spoon will change no matter how much the reel is wound neatly and uniformly. so do not concentrate awareness to the your reel.
If the fish does not stay at the bottom, you can wind it slower using nylon buoyancy.
Fluorocarbons are by far the best for fishing near the bottom where fish are sinking.
Let’s talk about specific actions and fishing method.
As I mentioned earlier, it is understood as prior knowledge that you can fish with “static” and “kinetic” like bottom bumps.
If applied to a winding, I will wind the bottom with a dead-slow, sometimes with an action.。
There are various actions is difficult to document, but from the action of “ tapping ” about hitting the blank with the index finger of the hand holding the rod, moving the tip slightly, and further ”twitching” There is an action.
Which of these is effective? Not that it is.. What does it effective on the fish in front of you during that time zone? the essence of the game is to search it .
There are many people who misunderstand, but instead of improving about answer you know , you can quickly assemble various parts like a puzzle to make it correct. that is, what is effective? The part that explores it is important
There are cases where it is better to always put an action, and there are cases where it is better to be winding uniformly with a dead-slow, so both must be tried.
When you were retrieving it that hitted in the bottom range, check the location of the fish hooking.
when the hook has hooked around the throat. It means that you can catch even a little higher range.
Against a spoon with it swimming below fish. Hooking action enters by attacking the spoon body from above. At that time, it often hook under the throat of the fish.
On the contrary, if it is near the center of the mouth, there is a high possibility of tracking by the fish at the bottom range.
While checking the hooking position, it is important to fine tune the range and lure rotation.
As a feature of the winter retrieve game, although the attack is very small, there is a possibility that the pattern will be match with the same way of fishing.
This is because it’s cold every day, whether it’s cold throughout the day or in a few days, that is, the temperature is always low, making it easier for fish to take similar actions.
Let’s practice in cold clothes and practice a lot even in cold winter!
