In the countryside, if you want to catch yellow eels in the farmland, are there any good tips?

I remember my grandfather made a cage himself, which was especially easy to catch, but the way the cage was made was difficult. Of course, the roughest way is to dig with a shovel, digging directly.

I think you should put some food to trap the eel, so that you can catch the eel effectively. Because yellow eels are slippery, be sure to bring some non-slip gloves.

Catching the eel is actually very simple, first you need to find the eel burrow, and then use the food that the eel likes to lure the eel out, and quickly hook the eel with your hand when the eel's head is about 10 cm or so.

1. The choice of water floating, catching yellow eel, is the first choice of water floating, if you are a novice, you can choose a relatively small water floating, so that you can exercise your skills. If you're already good at catching eels, you can use a larger float. In the summer, water rafting is very common, and you can usually see it at grocery stores, but if you don't have one, you can buy it online.

2. The choice of bait, catch yellow eel, in the countryside, the natural bait is earthworms, especially in rainy days, there are a lot of earthworms, you can shovel some soil first, dig more earthworms, and "store", of course, snail meat is also possible, you can pick up some snails at the mouth of the water, take out the meat, and put it on the net. Of course, you can also buy some bait for catching yellow eels in the store.

When catching yellow eels in the farmland, you can use a net bag, and the "hole" of the net bag should be relatively small, so that you can quickly catch the yellow eel.

The longer the survival, this leads to more parasites in the body of the yellow eel, although we will fully heat when cooking the yellow eel, but some parasites are very heat-resistant, it is difficult to kill it by cooking methods, if we eat this kind of yellow eel that contains parasites can be sure that it is the farmland to catch, it is rare to catch 1 pound of large yellow eel, if it is caught, it is very likely to be an old yellow eel that has grown for many years, such a yellow eel, the meat will not be very tender, and may even have a heavy fishy smell, and the meat will also be firewood.

<> I used to occasionally eat a pure wild yellow eel of about 2 catties, and I was fishing in the river at that time. However, since I ate that yellow eel, I personally feel that the size of the yellow eel is not as big as it gets, the bigger the yellow eel, its muddy smell will be like the small fried wild yellow eel, more than 2 taels are boiled and eaten, more than 4 taels are special supplements, and people with poor health in general are stewed to eat qi and blood fast! Now there are no big yellow beetles in the farmland, only in the ponds, but there are few of them.

When it comes to yellow eels, it's a delicacy. When I was a child, I often went to the fields with my friends in the village to catch yellow eels, most of them were as big as my little finger, and the bigger ones were like my big toes. At that time, there were a lot of fields, especially those fields with water all year round, and the sound of water made by the yellow run dug up, and there were a lot of water sounds, but now there are almost no such situations, and now in the countryside they have begun to use electric fish machines, my neighbor's eldest brother goes out to electric fish every night, and can hit one or two catties of yellow eel loaches in five hours.

In the current ecological environment, the yellow eel is generally five or six taels, can grow to about a pound is considered a giant in the yellow eel, remember that when the yellow eel was caught in the past, the smaller ones will stay to let them continue to live, and the growth rate will be very slow. In the wild, it is very difficult to see a one-pound yellow eel, let alone a five-pound yellow eel. Of course, the heaviest ones may indeed grow to such a large size, but in the natural environment, such a heavy yellow eel is generally in number.

Small tasty. Because the small yellow eel meat is more tender and the taste is more delicious, I think the small one is still delicious.

The big ones are delicious, because the big ones are thicker and more nutritious, and the small ones don't have anything to eat at all.

Of course, it's big, and the yellow eel is just eating, because the big yellow eel meat is very fatty and delicious.

Big delicious. The big one is more nutritious, and the taste is also better and more chewy.

I think the small ones are more delicious because the small ones are more tender and delicious to eat.

There are three ways to catch yellow eels: one is to "win by surprise", the second is to "lure the snake out of the hole", and the third is to "never tire of deceit".

After finding the two holes, immediately block the front and back doors with two hands, and quickly dig down the hole to the middle, and you can pull the yellow eel out surprisingly.

A hook made of a steel needle and a hemp rope were worn, and as soon as the hook with the bait was put into the hole, its black head popped out. You tease it with the hook, and its head grows longer and longer, and at last it bites the hook, and with a hard pull, it comes out of the hole. Even if it is fooled a few times, it will still be greedy for bait.

Pay special attention to catching a yellow eel, it is very slippery, and as soon as it comes out of the water, you have to quickly pinch it with your index and middle fingers to avoid escaping and returning to the field to do evil. Push the coated eels through their gills with a twig, and let them lie quietly in the sun, reflecting on the reason why they were captured.

For the flower waist girl who grew up in the mountains and farmlands, the loaches and yellow eels caught in the rural fields are the most familiar, and they are the favorite to catch when they were children, and they are also the favorite food.
