What are the precautions for winter fishing?

Remove debris from the pond before fishing. To ensure safe winter fishing, you must remove debris from the fish pond, such as tree stumps, branches, wire mesh, white pollutants, etc.

Adapt to the pond conditions. Before fishing, do a good job of draining and filling the fish pond; if the pond water level is too deep, making it inconvenient to operate a seine net, the water level can be lowered to 1-1.5 m, but after fishing, immediately fill the water to above 2.5 m to increase the water level for insulation, so that marketable fish that have not reached standard size can overwinter safely, ready for continued profitable breeding next year.

The net should be set gently and retrieved quickly. Remember, before setting the net, first arrange the fishing net properly, then in sequence gently place the bottom net, net body, and float net into the water along the pond edge, and pull the net from both sides at the same time. When pulling the net, move slowly within the front 1/3-1/2 range of the pond surface. Avoid making the fish in the pond swim wildly, jump, and collide too early. When pulling the net to the rear half of the pond surface, quickly close and retrieve the net to reduce damage from fish hitting the net and the number escaping.

After catching, select the brood fish and small fish that have not reached marketable fish size, soak the brood fish or small fish in 3%-4% salt water for 10 minutes, then put them back into the pond so they can reproduce and grow strong next year.

Do not fish on consecutive days. Because winter water temperature is low, fish metabolism is slow and resistance is poor. If uncaptured fish are repeatedly injured by seining over a long period, the wounds are difficult to heal, and then pathogens such as water mold take the opportunity to invade, causing disease outbreaks and reduced yield and income the following year.
