mandarin fish can be caught in winter, but the temperature in winter is low, so the difficulty of fishing will be higher than that in other three seasons. Because in winter, not only the temperature is low, but also ice may occur. When the water surface freezes, mandarin fish will move into deeper waters, and their appetite and activity will decrease in winter. At this time, they have little chance of taking the bait when fishing.

1. Choose time: mandarin fish likes to live in a warm environment, and the fishing time in winter can be around 11 o'clock in the morning. Because of this time, the temperature has risen, and mandarin fish will gradually come out for activities. If the weather is fine, it can start at 10 o'clock and end at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

2. Prepare bait: The spread speed of bait in winter is slow, so choose some bait with strong fishy smell. For example, small fish, shrimp, loach, earthworm, etc., if conditions permit, try to choose live bait.

3. Choose a fishing spot: Siniperca chuatsi likes to move deep in the water area in winter, and the fishing spot is best located deeper. Generally speaking, they like to be at the bottom of waters with more aquatic plants and branches, which can be used as the first choice for fishing spots.

4. Start fishing: When fishing, it is necessary to pick up the mandarin fish immediately after it is found to take the bait, so as to quickly pull the mandarin fish out of the water grass or the position with more branches and prevent them from escaping.
