What do we need to pay attention to when night fishing?


Part One: From the perspective of fishing

1. There are fewer small fish at night, so we should target larger individuals such as carp, grass carp, and black carp. Therefore, the line setup should be appropriately larger, choosing a suitable line setup based on the size of the fish being caught.

2. Large fish like to swim along the edges at night in search of food, so night fishing does not require as long a rod as during the day; generally, a rod length of 5.4 to 7.2 meters is sufficient.

Part Two: From the perspective of the environment

Fishing by the river on summer nights can be troublesome for anglers, and that is mosquitoes.

The most obvious issue is that when we turn on the lights, it immediately attracts a large number of small flying insects, which can fly into our eyes, enter our nostrils when we breathe in, and even get into our mouths when we speak, causing great discomfort.

If we are even less fortunate and get targeted by the "big boss" of the mosquito world, the flower mosquito, then we will truly suffer! The mild symptoms include swelling and itching, while severe cases may require hospitalization, and there have even been reports of deaths caused by poisonous mosquitoes.

As the saying goes: "Prepare for a rainy day and think long-term in times of peace." If you don't want to suffer from itching and scratching with no way to deal with it, then when night fishing, you must take preventive measures against mosquito bites!

Traditional mosquito coils are something that anglers must have used, but they release pollutants that can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, headaches, eye pain, a feeling of suffocation, coughing, nausea, throat pain, and ear pain. The fine particles released can even be inhaled directly into the lungs, potentially triggering asthma in the short term... so it is not recommended to continue using them.

Fishing Techniques: Characteristics of Various Fish and Classic Fishing Methods, A Must-Read for Anglers

Different species of fish have significant variations in their habits, which leads to different fishing methods. The period from late spring to early summer, when temperatures are neither too high nor too low, is an ideal time for fishing. From a behavioral perspective, larger fish tend to feed more and for longer periods during this time, as they are about to enter their breeding season. Therefore, there is a saying in folk culture that during the Grain Rain period, fish are lively, and one should be cautious with hooks and lines, indicating that the time for catching crucian carp has passed, and it is now time to fish for larger species. Understanding the habits of fish can lead to more effective fishing.


How to choose a fishing rod based on different environmental conditions

What kind of fishing rod is suitable for fishing in lakes and reservoirs, or open water? It is common to see anglers using 8-meter or 9-meter long rods for fishing in lakes and reservoirs. However, casting and reeling with a long rod for extended periods can be very tiring. Does a long rod necessarily have advantages over a short rod? Not necessarily. The choice of fishing rod also depends on the requirements for fishing in lakes and reservoirs. In this article, we will share insights with anglers on whether to use a long rod or a short rod.


A person, a fishing rod: this is a fisherman.

Every fisherman has his own reasons for loving to fish. Taking a fishing rod and sitting by the water is a true enjoyment! Fishermen, have you ever felt restless after a few days without fishing, or felt unbearable when you couldn't get your hands on a rod you had your eye on?


Correct operations and standard fishing methods.

Fishing rods are expensive fishing gear, and anglers must protect their rods as a warrior cherishes their weapon. Most accidental damage to fishing rods is caused by improper use by the angler. Correct operation and standardized fishing methods can extend the lifespan of the fishing rod.


How to Store and Maintain Fishing Rods

In winter, fishing is no longer done, so fishing rods need to be properly maintained to extend their lifespan. If a carbon fishing rod is not in use, it is best to store it in its original box. After placing it in the original box, do not leave it in a regular room; instead, keep it in a dry storage room where the temperature is consistently maintained between 20 to 25°C and the humidity does not exceed 60%. For fishing rods without the original box, first place them in a cloth rod cover, and then put the rod in a rod bag. The rod box and rod bag should be stored upright in the storage room, not laid flat, to avoid compression and deformation.


How to choose the action of a fishing rod

The action of a fishing rod refers to its stiffness or softness. When a fishing rod bears weight, it will inevitably bend. A stiff rod bends less, while a soft rod bends more. Stiff rods have less elasticity compared to soft rods, and their ability to absorb and dissipate energy is lower. Therefore, they require relatively thicker fishing lines, allowing the fish to be pulled out of the water in a shorter time. To put it colloquially, there is a certain degree of forceful pulling involved.
