Materials and tools: A moderately sized net (usually 3-5 meters wide and 8-10 meters long), a rope approximately 20 meters long, and fish meal or other types of bait.
Steps:
1. Preparation work
Firstly, it is necessary to choose a suitable place for net fishing. Usually, rivers or lakes with slow water flow and shallow water depth are more suitable places. When choosing a site, you can consult local fishermen or relevant fishing departments for more advice on site selection. After selecting the venue, it is necessary to prepare nets and ropes. Tie ropes to both ends of the net to ensure that it can be fixed to the ship or shore.
2. Prepare bait
Fish meal is a commonly used bait that can be purchased at local fishing gear stores or online stores. Place an appropriate amount of fish meal in a bag and tie the bag to the center of the net with a rope. In addition, other types of natural bait such as insects or small fish can also be used.
3. Sprinkle the net into the water
Spread the net and tie the rope to the boat or shore. Pull the net from the shore into the water and let it float in the water. After the net is fully unfolded, it is necessary to check whether each part of the net is securely fixed to the rope to ensure that the net is not loose or damaged.
4. Wait for the school of fish to approach
Wait for a period of time to bring the school of fish close to the net. This may take several minutes or hours, depending on the local fish situation and time. When a school of fish approaches the net, it can be determined by observing signs such as ripples and splashes on the water surface.
5. Lift the net up
When the school of fish approaches the net, it can begin to lift the net. Lift the net from the bottom with a rope and slowly raise it above the water surface. When the net is raised, the rope needs to be gradually shortened to ensure that the net can remain above the water surface and prevent the fish from escaping.
6. Withdrawal network
When the net is fully raised, the school of fish can be fished out. Slowly pull the net back to the boat or shore while pouring the fish into a bucket or other container. Be careful when fishing to avoid damaging the fish in the net. If you are fishing on a boat, you can use a fishing tool or gloves to protect your fingers.
7. Pay attention to safety
When fishing with nets, it is necessary to pay attention to safety. If you are fishing on a boat, you need to ensure the stability and safety of the boat, and wear necessary safety equipment such as a life jacket. In addition, before entering the water, the water depth, flow, and surrounding environment should be checked to ensure safety.
Summary: Fishing with nets is an ancient and interesting activity, but it requires certain skills and experience. To successfully fish, it is necessary to choose an appropriate site, prepare necessary tools and materials, choose appropriate bait, wait for the fish to approach, and pay attention to safety. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the techniques and tricks of net fishing, you can consult local fishermen or participate in some fishing activities.
