Equipment and techniques for rock fishing
Equipment for rock fishing
Rock fishing rod: usually a specially designed long rod with a length between 3.6 meters and 5.3 meters, with high strength, suitable for long-range throwing and wind and wave resistance.
Rock fishing wheel: usually a spinning wheel or water droplet wheel, with good maneuverability and durability.
Fishing line: Nylon or PE line is usually used, and the appropriate line diameter is selected according to the size of the target fish species. The main line is generally thicker, and the sub lines are thinner.
Buoy and sinker: Choose the appropriate buoy and sinker according to the fishing method. Floating rock fishing usually uses lightweight buoys and lead weights, while sinking rock fishing requires heavier lead weights.
Hooks and baits: Choose appropriate hooks and baits based on the target fish species. Common baits include live baits (such as small fish and shrimp), dead baits (such as fish and shrimp), and artificial baits (such as baits).
Techniques of rock fishing
Choose a suitable fishing spot: Choose a suitable fishing spot based on the tide, wind direction, and water flow. Usually, fish activities are more frequent during high and low tides.
Safety first: When fishing on rocks, attention should be paid to safety, especially in situations of tidal changes and strong winds and waves. Wearing non slip shoes, carrying life jackets, and necessary first aid equipment are necessary.
Observing water flow: The direction and speed of water flow can affect the activity of fish and the distribution of bait. Fishermen need to adjust their fishing spot and method according to changes in water flow.
Mastering casting techniques: Rock fishing usually requires long-range casting, so anglers need to master accurate casting techniques to ensure that the bait can reach the target water area.
Patience and carefulness: Rock fishing requires a certain amount of patience and carefulness. Especially when the fishing situation is poor, anglers need to constantly try different fishing points and methods to find the best results.
