1. Choose weather: Herring likes to move in warm environment. When fishing herring in cold weather, choose a sunny weather. The fishing time can be from 11 am to 3 pm.

2. Prepare fishing gear and bait: Herring is too large, and it needs to be fished farther and deeper in cold weather, so the fishing rod chosen should be longer and harder. Generally, a sea pole of about 6.3 meters is the most suitable. The upper jaw of herring is relatively hard, so the hook should be thick and the fishing line should be thick, so as to avoid the herring breaking. In addition to preparing fishing gear, we should also prepare fishing bait. The bait can be mixed with snail meat, ham sausage, clam meat, dried tofu, grasshopper, green worm, etc., or some small medicines can be added, and the effect will be better.

3. Nest: When fishing herring in cold weather, it is best to nest one day in advance. When making a nest, you can use your hands or a nest-making device, as long as you throw the nest material into a good position.

4. Fishing: When fishing, you can find the position where you nest in advance, then throw out the fishing rod and wait for the fish to take the bait. The signal of herring taking the bait is obvious. After taking the bait, it is necessary to quickly close the rod to avoid them escaping.

It is difficult to catch herring after cold weather, because the activity of herring will be affected and the difficulty of fishing will increase after cold weather. Of course, there will be warm time in winter, so long as you choose the right time, you can catch herring.
