A technique called vertical fishing, scrapped fishing is a type of fishing that will allow you to have a good time while having fun fishing with your feet in the water. As its name suggests, the principle is to scrape the bottom with your feet and explore the area with soft lures.
Scrapped fishing is not a complicated fishery and does not require many specific techniques or equipment. Let's discover together some useful basics that you need to know to practice scrapped fishing well.
Principle of scrapped fishing
Scrapped fishing is a very simple technique that is within reach of any fishing enthusiast. This technique consists in disturbing the water in which you fish by stirring it with your feet. The goal is to create a sand cloud that carries larvae and other particles to attract fish that shelter the area.
To scrape fish, you must therefore enter the water and start by dragging your feet on the bottom and continue to scrape to prime the fish. Always make sure that the lure is kept as close as possible to the bottom before animating it with small movements.
The equipment required for scrapped fishing
Rod
To practice scrapped fishing, you will not need to invest in expensive equipment. All you need is a rod with a length of 2.5 to 3 meters. Choose a rod with a soft tip to detect the hits when you go fishing with a scraper. The power of the cane should be between 20 and 60 g.
Other equipment
You will also need a keeper to install around your waist to store your catch as fishing is done in the water.
Finally, plan to have a box to store your bait. As for the latter, red pinkies are very effective and guarantee good results. Nevertheless, you can choose to use dough as a bait.
Where and how to go about doing a good scrapped fishing?
There are plenty of good places to practice scratch fishing. All you have to do is stand on a body of water with a preferably sandy bottom. To practice scrapped fishing properly, you will need to make sure that the lures are always close to the bottom, since the fish are standing on the bottom to look for food. Also remember to check the status of your lures from time to time and change them when necessary. In scrapped fishing, the trick is to track the fish where it is by scraping the bottom during fishing. Therefore, it is important to explore different places to identify your targets. Feel free to change water veins when the touches are scarce.
