Grass carp is a fish that we can fish all year round. However, in the summer, when we fish, we find that we catch other fish such as crucian carp and carp, but grass carp rarely appears. Anglers who use the suspended sink fishing method have more of this feeling, they can’t see or catch grass carp, and it is also very difficult to catch large crucian carp. Then, how to fish for crucian carp in the Dog Days?

1, Choose to fish in the early morning, afternoon, and evening: The most suitable temperature for the fish is 10℃-30℃, but in the afternoon of the hot summer, the sun is like fire, even people find it hard to bear the heat, and the fish are not easy to eat. Only by fishing in the early morning and afternoon can you catch fish. The fishing saying goes: "It’s better to fish for a moment in the early morning and afternoon than for half a day in the afternoon", the actual fishing time is from 5-9 a.m., and 4-8 p.m. at noon. In these two time ranges, the temperature is lower, the fish feel comfortable, their appetite is full, and they search for food from deep to shallow waters, making it easy to catch them.

2, Choose to fish after a heavy rain: The fishing saying goes: "It’s hard to fish after the rain, but it’s good to fish after the rain." Before a heavy rain in the hot summer, the average temperature is high, the weather is hot, the low pressure, the oxygen content in the water is low, the fish feel extremely uncomfortable and have no appetite. After a heavy storm, the sky clears after the rain, fresh air is cool, the temperature drops, and the oxygen content in the water increases. The rain washes the seeds of grass, small insects, and fruits of crops from the ground into the river, providing abundant human delicacies for the fish. The fish are delighted and their appetite increases, they swim around in search of food, and fishing at this time will definitely be successful. However, if the southwest wind rises after the heavy rain and it starts to rain, it is not advisable to go fishing.

3, Night fishing: In the hot summer, the most ideal time for fishing is at night. The average temperature and humidity at night are lower, the fish are active and eager to feed; external influences are minimal, big fish and slippery fish have a sense of belonging, they will dare to take bait, and it is very easy to catch them. However, elderly anglers and those with poor hand, leg, and eye vision should be cautious when going fishing. Anglers going out to fish should be reminded of safety and be careful of mosquito and insect bites.
