How to fish with sweet potato bait

There are two types of sweet potato fishing: one is sweet potato leaves, and the other is sweet potato cubes. The target fish for sweet potato leaves are generally grass carp and flat fish, while the target fish for sweet potato cubes are not only the above two types of fish, but also carp.

Because the target fish are all medium and large fish, it is best to make a nest when using sweet potatoes for fishing. Generally, you can choose bran, wheat bran, rapeseed cake, add an appropriate amount of cooked wheat or corn, and mix them into a ball shape and put them in. It is best to wait for more than half an hour. When fishing, generally choose a thick line and a large hook. If you use sweet potato leaves for fishing, you only need to fold the leaves several times, and it is best to squeeze out some juice inside. The hook must be exposed when hooking, and the bottom can be fished. If you choose sweet potato cubes for fishing, there is still work that must be done in advance, that is, the sweet potatoes need to be steamed, and it is best to be 70% to 80% cooked, which has the special fragrance of cooked sweet potatoes and can maintain good hook attachment. Before hooking, you need to carry a knife and cut the sweet potato cubes into a square shape of about 1*1cm. After the hook is put on, the hook tip must also be exposed. You can fish at the bottom or float.

Sweet potato bait preparation method

1. Sweet potato cubes mixed with cornmeal

Steam the sweet potato with the skin (90% cooked, otherwise it will be too soft to hook), peel it after cooling, cut it into 5-10 mm small cubes, mix it with fresh fine cornmeal, make the sweet potato cubes all around covered with cornmeal, then put it on the hook for fishing. Use small cubes for fishing small fish, and large cubes for fishing big fish. The characteristics of this bait are that it has the natural fragrance of sweet potato, soaks in water for a long time, and is not easily eaten by small fish. Moreover, the bait cubes covered with cornmeal will form atomized balls when sinking into the water, which will lure fish into the nest for feeding, and it is very effective for carp and bream.

2. Sweet potato puree for chicken feed

Steam and peel half a pound of sweet potatoes, mash them into a paste, mix them with two ounces of chicken feed, and add two teaspoons (about 10-15 grams) of honey. Knead them repeatedly until they are soft and hard enough. If they are too dry, add an appropriate amount of water. Hook the kneaded bait balls and fish. This bait is suitable for both Taiwan fishing and traditional fishing. This bait is fragrant and sweet, with a moderate atomization time. Carp and crucian carp love it.

3. Sweet potato shrimp flour bait

Steam and peel half a pound of sweet potatoes and mash them. Boil two ounces of fine cornmeal. Add 50 grams of shrimp powder to the mashed sweet potatoes and boiled cornmeal and knead them evenly. If it is too dry, add some water and roll it into a large bait ball. When fishing, rub the bait and attach it to the hook. This bait is very effective for crucian carp and carp, but the disadvantage is that it attracts miscellaneous fish such as wheat ears and whitebait.

Which tides are better for fishing?

Sea fishing is affected by the law of tidal fluctuations. The choice of fishing spots cannot be determined unilaterally, but needs to be organically combined with the changes in tides. Relatively speaking, fish are easier to catch when the tide is high, and both fishing near and far have advantages. Fishing near will catch fish, while fishing far can catch deep-water fish that swim near the coast with the rising tide.
