How to catch grass carp in late autumn
In late autumn, the temperature gradually drops, and the activity of grass carp also changes accordingly. Mastering the correct fishing method can greatly increase your catch rate. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to give you a detailed introduction to grass carp fishing techniques in late autumn.
1. Activity patterns of grass carp in late autumn

The activity pattern of grass carp in late autumn is obviously different from that in summer. After the water temperature drops, grass carp will migrate to deep water areas, but will still go to shallow water areas to feed at noon. The following is the activity schedule of grass carp in late autumn:
| time period | Activity area | activity level |
|---|---|---|
| Morning (6:00-9:00) | deep water area | medium |
| Noon (10:00-14:00) | shallow water area | high |
| Afternoon (15:00-18:00) | deep water area | medium |
| Night (19:00-5:00 the next day) | deep water area | low |
2. Fishing spot selection skills
When fishing grass carp in late autumn, the selection of fishing spots is crucial. The following are the types of high-quality fishing spots that have been hotly discussed by fishing friends recently:
| Fishing spot type | Advantages | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Reservoir bay branch | Sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, the water temperature is stable | Choose a water depth of 2-3 meters |
| edge of water plants | Rich food and high oxygen content | Be careful to prevent bottom hanging |
| The junction of deep and shallow | The only way for grass carp to migrate | Need to accurately determine the location |
| Near the water inlet | Sufficient dissolved oxygen and abundant food | Pay attention to the impact of water flow |
3. Recommended bait formula
According to recent hot discussions on fishing forums, the following bait formulas are effective in late autumn:
| Bait type | Recipe | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| fermented bait | Corn flour 40% + wheat bran 30% + distiller’s grains 20% + yeast 10% | Still water area of reservoir |
| Commercial bait | Grass carp special bait 70% + snowflake powder 20% + brushed powder 10% | competitive pool |
| natural bait | Young corn + reed core | natural waters |
| mixed bait | 30% snail meat + 20% shrimp powder + 50% flour | running water area |
4. Fishing tackle configuration suggestions
Grass carp is very powerful in late autumn, so special attention should be paid to the configuration of fishing gear:
| Equipment type | Recommended specifications | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fishing rod | 5.4-6.3m hand pole | Hard tone |
| line group | Main line No. 3.0-4.0, sub-line No. 2.0-2.5 | High quality nylon thread |
| float | Eat 2.5-3.5 grams of lead | Long body and long tail |
| fishhook | Iseni No. 6-8 | Hook bar thick |
5. Practical skills
1.Nest making skills: Nesting should be carried out in small amounts and multiple times in late autumn, and the amount of nest filling each time should be controlled at about 1/3 of the initial nest size. It is recommended to use fermented corn mixed with commercial bait as nest material.
2.Bleaching adjustment method: It is recommended to adjust 6 to catch 2, and fine-tune according to the fish situation. In late autumn, grass carp eats lightly, and the floating signals are mostly slow sinking or slight rising.
3.Timing to lift the pole: When you see the float sinking 1-2 meshes or continuing to drift slowly and black, you should lift the pole immediately. Grass carp will not flee immediately after biting the hook in late autumn, but the rod lifting force should be moderate.
4.Fish walking skills: After hitting the fish, keep the curvature of the rod body and use the elasticity of the rod body to consume the fish's physical strength. Grass carp recovers slowly in physical strength in late autumn, so the walking time can be appropriately extended.
6. Precautions
1. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in late autumn, so you should pay attention to keeping warm and cold.
2. When using live bait, replace it frequently to maintain the freshness of the bait.
3. The water is clear in late autumn, so be careful when fishing to avoid spooking fish.
4. Environmental protection is important, please take away all garbage.
Through the above tips, I believe you can also get good grass carp fishing in late autumn. Happy fishing!
