Carp spawning period to find a suitable place for fish to spawn fishing, usually in the water plants, or in the shallow water where there are stones. Although the female carp do not eat during the spawning period, the male carp will chase the female carp and eat naturally when they see the food. In this way, we can catch carp.

What kind of feed does carp eat?

Carp is omnivorous fish, can be leftovers, leftovers, pericarp, etc., add about 10% of animal offal, longevity snail, maggot pupae, earthworms and other animal feed to make particles for feeding. The protein content of the feed should be about 35% and the fat content should be 5% and 8%. Should adhere to the "four fixed" feeding, usually twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

When do carps usually lay eggs?

Carp begin to spawn in stages from February to March every year. It reached the best part in late spring and early summer. In the breeding season, the water temperature in the spawning ground is generally above 18 ℃, and the optimum water temperature is 25 ±3 ℃. Generally speaking, when the flow rate of the river reaches more than 1-1.5m/s in the flood season, the spawning peak of fish will be formed. Carp lay sticky eggs: the specific gravity of the eggs is larger than that of water, the outer layer of the egg membrane is sticky when exposed to water, and the eggs can adhere to substrates such as aquatic plants or pebbles after laying.

Although the carp still have the desire to feed during the spawning period, they will be greatly discounted, so when preparing the bait, we must make efforts in the taste type, bait state and so on, so as to maximize the fishing of the carp.
