Catfish is one of the common fish species distributed in fresh water in China, which is basically distributed everywhere, and many anglers are willing to take it as the fishing target. Catfish fishing is recommended at a suitable temperature, because catfish are relatively active in this case. If it is in winter, the temperature is relatively high, it is not very suitable. For example, if it is in early winter, although it is not the coldest time of the year, it is already winter and the temperature is still relatively low.

At this time, catfish may not be as active as other warm seasons, so the fishing effect will decline to a certain extent and it is not easy to catch. Of course, this does not mean that catfish must not be fished in early winter. If the way taken at this time is proper and the problems that should be paid attention to are noticed, it is also possible to fish. Moreover, as long as fishing activities are carried out in a suitable time period, there is a certain probability that it can be caught.

As mentioned above, catfish can be caught in early winter. Under normal circumstances, because it is in a cold season, it is more appropriate to fish during the day. Specifically, it can be carried out according to the following steps:

1. Choose time: The first is the choice of time, which is very important in early winter. In general, it is most appropriate to carry out it at the highest temperature, such as around noon.

2. Prepare bait: Because catfish is a very fierce species, the most suitable bait for fishing them is meat bait. Among the meat bait, small fish and shrimp, earthworms, animal viscera, etc. are all ok.

3. Prepare tools: In early winter, it is recommended to use sensitive tools. The fishing rod can use a 5.4-meter hand rod, the fishing line can use nylon thread, and the fishing hook can use string hooks.

4. Choose fishing spots: Catfish like to concentrate in complicated places at the bottom of waters, such as places with many rocks and sundries, or places with many aquatic plants. They also like to concentrate on the turbid water, because they are afraid of light. Such positions can be used as fishing points, because catfish is easy to concentrate, so the fishing effect is good.

5. Lift the pole at the right time: In early winter, catfish has a weak mouth, so keep an eye on the signal of fish drift after throwing the pole. You can also tie a small bell at the tip of the fishing rod, and lift the rod in time when there is a signal or the bell rings. Sometimes catfish are big, so they have to walk the fish first.
