You can use earthworms as bait for catching eels in ground cages.
The eel is a bottom-dwelling fish that likes to dig holes in calm waters or slow-moving waters with muddy bottoms. During the day, it hides in underwater caves and remains motionless. It feeds at night, especially in summer. Feeds mainly on zooplankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans, small fish, etc.
Before using a ground cage to catch eels, you should select a bamboo tube of a suitable diameter as a bait tube, make several openings in it 6-7 cm long, then insert the captured earthworms. The bait tube should be inserted into the trap cage. Close the mouth of the cage and finally place ite at the bottom of the water to trap eels. Weave the barbed bamboo strips into a bamboo cage. both ends of the bamboo cage are thin, the height is 30-40cm, and the diameter is about 15cm. The lower opening is closed, the upper mouth is open, and the diameter is suitable to reach the hand. to make it easier to grab the eel.
Notes on catching eels in ground cages:
1. It is best to use earthworms as bait and take eel plants 2-3 times a night. of each cage.
2. When you place the eel catching cage in the water, the tail of the cage should be slightly exposed to the water so that the eel can breathe the air in the cage, otherwise it will suffocate or suffer. hypoxia. The eel cages are collected at dawn and the large eel plants are sold, while the small eel plants are kept asme eel seeds. The eel plants captured in this way are healthy, show no injuries and have a high survival rate.
3. When catching artificially raised eels, nets of summer flowering fish species can be used to catch them. However, this type of mesh should be dense and the mesh should be soft so that it does not is not easy to damage the fish body and has good catching effect. When fishing, aquatic plants in the pond are enclosed in a net. When the water rises, the aquatic plants are first lifted and the eels remain in the net. If you want to catch them all, you can use the whole net to catch 1-2 times first, then drain the water to catch them. You can often catch all the eels in the entire pond.
