Nile Fish
For fishing lovers:
Reem (kind of algae):
It's a kind of algae which is favorite for some fish species, especially the tilapia. Its specifications that are shiny green in color. It located on the stones by the sides of the Nile. It formed especially when in running water
to some extent.
Fishing using Reem in winter in the morning
when the weather is warm over the water to
some extent. In contrast to fishing using
wheat , fishing using Reem is in running water
because it attracts fish with its movement
in the water and also attracts fish by its scent.
Taking into account that Reem should be fresh
when fishing ,keeping it in the refrigerator
wrapped with wet paper retained a degree of humidity so as not to spoil and become unfit for fishing.
Method of fishing:
We use a small size of hooks such as 10 or 12 and placed on a wire size 18 or 20 and the method of placing in the hook is to take a lock of Reem in the form of a lock of hair length of 5 cm and hold it from the center so that we have two sides, and begin wrapping the side on the top hook roll after the other until we reach the top of the hook and let the rest until moves with the water, then begin wrapping the second side to the opposite direction of the first in the same way.
Fishing with Reem use the both ways:-
-The first is reliance on the bullet directly and in this we choose to a light bullet that Reem should be moving in the water so the fish can see it.
- The second is usig the float with large bullet because we are here fishing in running water and the float must be stable to some extent on the water so that we can control it.
Dough:
It's the cheapest bait at all and can be manufactured easily and is the type of bait that amateurs starts with using it because it is for them to lead purpose, but must be borne in mind that the way of making dough is
different depending on the type of the
fish , in our fish here the tilapia fish we
are going to learn how to make the white
dough.
Fishing with dough could be possible
only if we choose the best place, the
best place for fishing using bough is the
quiet place because in running water
the bough could melt from the hook,
and preferably also be the place
accompanied by plants and grass.
Method of fishing:
We use hooks No. 6 or 7 and placed on wire size 30 or 35 and then take a piece of dough and Instills hook in it until all the dough cover the hook.
We can use the both ways, although many people prefer the float:-
The first is (throwing) ,In this method we prefer to use many hooks to entice big fish, with a medium size bullet to sink in the bottom of the water.
- The second is the using the float, use a small bullet and small float , taking into account that the float be close to the river side (tilapia nesting places).
- (Note) the disadvantage of fishing with dough is that fish like Roach, small Ray and Bermuda which found at the river sides greedily devour the bait, making it do not give the opportunity to enter the big fish to the bait.
- And that there are several ways to prepare the dough here we will talk only about how to
Prepare the tilapia fish doughs:
1 - brown dough is a thick textures dough, prepared from the brown flour , it may need to add a little water to reach the desired strength and with the descent of the dough into the water some of the crumbs falling, which attracts fish to it.
2 - white dough consist of white flour may need to add a little water to reach the desired strength.
3 - cooked dough consist of white flour, one cup of water (as needed) and one teaspoon and a half of oil, it is possible to add a clove or two of garlic to it. Where we set the water mixed with oil in a pot on the fire, and when heated the mixture (not to boiling), we add the flour, and we are mixing quickly so as not to damage. And take off the pot and resonates with the confusion continued over and over again until we reach the strength you want and then leave to cool , then it possible to be stored in the refrigerator.
Grapes:
Is one of the toughest fishing methods and requires the great patience because only the large sizes of tilapia love to eat this bait.
We fishing using grapes only in the places that
contain large volumes of tilapia or the places
that cultivated vineyards and here we find
tilapia could use to it. Preferably fishing in the
morning (fishing at night only for catfish),
and we will talk about it later.
Method of fishing:
In grapes we use hook No. 4 or 5 on a wire size 40 or 50 and put from 7 to 10 grains of grapes from the midle and raise on a string. (using yellow or green grapes).
The only method of fishing with grapes is throwing with the use of heavy bullets, and fishing are in wide places in the Nile and the most famous places of fishing at all is the Lake Nasser and Lake Victoria.
Note:
Many fishermen in some places are using a little known insects in fishing tilapia such as mites, cockroaches, etc. They taste good for tilapia
