How to fish in winter when the temperature is between 1 and 8 degrees? Should I fish in deep water or shallow water when the temperature is around 8 degrees?

Winter is relatively unfavorable for fishing, mainly due to the temperature. Not only can people not stand being outdoors, but fish are also very active, have little demand for food, and are not active in eating bait, which is a bit like the hibernation state of frogs. Next, let's take a look at whether to fish in deep or shallow water at around 8 degrees in winter.

How to fish in sunny winter with 1 to 8 degrees

1. Choose a location. On sunny days in winter, the temperature is between 1 and 8 degrees. At this time, we should choose a place that is leeward and has sunshine all day long. The water level is relatively deep as the fishing spot, but the depth should also have a certain degree, about 2 to 3 meters is the most suitable. The place with water plants or debris at the bottom of the water is the best area for fish to hide and gather. Fishing here will definitely yield good results.

2. Make a nest. Since the temperature in winter is relatively low, the nest is slow to form, so we should make a nest 1 to 2 hours in advance. The nesting materials can be rice wine, earthworms, red worm particles, etc. with relatively strong penetrating power. The amount of nesting materials for the first time should not be too large, and about 50 grams of nesting materials can be put in. In the subsequent fishing process, if the fish bites become less, you can make up the nest in time. Repeating this process may result in a good harvest.

3. Bait. Due to the low temperature, fish urgently need a lot of high-protein food to replenish their physical strength. At this time, we can use live baits such as earthworms and bloodworms for fishing. If commercial baits are used for fishing, we can add auxiliary baits such as bloodworm powder and earthworm powder to the fishy bait rich in high protein to increase the fishy smell of the bait and increase its temptation to fish. Adding light bran-like state bait can effectively reduce the specific gravity of the bait, increase palatability, and increase the intake rate of fish sucking bait, thereby increasing the amount of fish caught.

4. Line set. Fishes have a lower appetite in winter and their mouths are smaller. At this time, we must use a finer line set to fish. Choose a fishing line with a diameter of 0.4~0.6 as the main line, a fishing line with a diameter of 0.2~0.3 as the sub-line, and a sleeve hook of about No. 2. Choose a fine-tailed float with a small lead intake and high sensitivity, adjust the water level to 1~2 mesh, and then put the double bait on the bottom and bend the sub-line to better increase the fish's intake rate of bait.

Summarize:

Sunlight shines on the leeward side, the water is two meters deep and there are debris. Make a nest with rice wine particles early, and then make up the nest when the fish bites become less frequent. Earthworms and bloodworms are the first choice, the bait is strong and smelly, and the state is light. The line group is fine and the float is small, and the double bait is good for undercover.

There is no fixed rule in fishing. We also need to reasonably adjust our fishing method according to the water conditions, fish conditions, temperature, air pressure and other relevant factors during the specific fishing process, so as to obtain more satisfactory catches.

In winter, should I fish in deep or shallow water at around 8 degrees?

In early winter, fish generally begin to gather in deep water, but they are more active and still have a strong need to forage. Regardless of the temperature, they stay in deep water during the day and disperse to the beach at night to forage in shallow water. In the cold winter, fish mainly gather in groups in places that are leeward and sunny. The water here does not have to be deep, but it is important to be leeward and sunny. It is better if there are obstacles such as rocks on the bottom of the water. Moreover, the area where fish stay will change with the temperature. During the daytime when the temperature rises, they are closer to the shore. During the cooling period, fish will move farther and deeper from the shore.

In other words, the key to fishing in winter is to find fish, and where the fish are is not entirely determined by the temperature and water depth. You have to master the activity patterns of fish in different seasons, time periods, and fishing grounds. You have to consider the fish's safety needs and foraging needs, and be flexible. If the fish are deep, you should fish deep, and if they are shallow, you should fish shallow.

How to fish on sunny days in winter

1. Choice of fishing spot

Choosing the right fishing spot is the key to fishing in winter. Many people call it "finding a fish nest". Unlike in summer, making a nest can attract fish. The effect of making a nest in winter is not obvious. First, the diffusion speed of the smell in the water becomes slower due to the influence of temperature. Second, the activity of fish is poor and their interest in food is not high. Since making a nest has no effect, we can only take the initiative to find the hiding place of fish. In winter, it is sunny and the sun is warm. Fish like to move in the leeward and sunny places. The shallow water temperature is relatively comfortable. You can choose a place with a water depth of about 2 meters.

2. Equipment selection

According to the activity of fish in winter and their demand for food, fish eat bait slowly, so we need to pursue sensitivity in both the line group and the float, so as to capture slight signals in time. Therefore, if the fishing weight is met, we can use 0.4+0.8 thin line (determined according to the target fish), and the float with less than 1.5 lead. Not only that, the lighter the float, the better, which are all ways to improve sensitivity. Although it is recommended to fish in shallow water above, shallow does not mean close. Generally speaking, the farther from the shore, the less obstruction the water surface is, and the fishing rod can be 5.4 or 6.3.
