How to start electrofishing?
Starting electrofishing might appear daunting initially, but it’s actually straightforward once you grasp the basics.
First charge the machine, charge it to 12.5 or above or when the charger lights up green,
Connect the telescopic rod to the main unit, connect the scoop net to the telescopic rod, put the net and the drag line in the water at the same time, and keep them about 1 meter apart, press the 6 button and the machine starts working,
When only the 6 button is pressed, the machine starts, and then rotate the button 4 to adjust the pulse frequency, clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease,
When the water is very shallow or clear, generally just press the 6 button. In theory, the clearer the water, the larger the 4 should be adjusted,
In theory, the larger the adjustment, the more likely it is to electrocute fish, but it is not the case that the larger the better. If it is adjusted too high, it will waste electricity, and the fish will sink to the bottom. For shallow water or muddy water, adjust it to a small amount,
For deep water or clear water, adjust it to a large amount. In fact, it is just enough not to sink or run. Try it a few times and you will have experience.
During river wading or boat fishing, maintain a distance of 1-2 meters between the cathode and anode electrodes to prevent device overload. Always prioritize safety by using waterproof and electrically resistant waders and ensuring the landing net is made of non-conductive materials.
Remember, while the Almighty King electrofisher is designed with safety features, avoid direct contact with water during operation. By following these steps, electrofishing becomes a manageable and effective method for studying aquatic life.
