693. Hairtail Fishing (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
The body of the common hairtail is silvery-gray overall, with light gray dorsal and pectoral fins, some small spots on the body, and a slender black tail.
This ribbon fish is much more beautiful, its head, dorsal fin, and pectoral fin are all golden, and the whole body is silver, and when it twists its body and swims in the water, it looks like a silver ribbon.
The leader pulled the water, the hairtail fish was frightened and quickly dived down, Ao Muyang looked down, and saw a lot of this hairtail floating in the water below, they floated quietly in the water, like a stick straight up and down, rippling with the undercurrent.
The top of the head, mouth and fins of all hairtail fish are golden, they are golden hairtails, and the local fishermen of the Red Ocean call them buttermouths, and there are also yellow-billed oiltails and yellow-billed goldenrods.
Grabbing the leader, Ao Muyang surfaced, and then signaled to the black dragon: "Anchor." β
There is a group of golden ribbon fish underwater, and they can stay here in search of a catch.
Don't look at the hairtail fish that look like master swimmers sea snakes, in fact, they have poor swimming ability, floating in the middle and upper layers of the sea during the day, and descending to the bottom of the sea at night.
Now the underwater golden ribbon fish is in a static state, and when they are stationary, they are just like Ao Muyang saw before, with their heads up and their bodies vertical, and they only rely on the waving of their dorsal and pectoral fins to maintain their balance.
It's almost time to eat hairtails, and when the water warms up and the water temperature rises in spring, they swim to the shore in groups and swim back from south to north, and in winter when the water temperature drops, they swim to the depths of the water to avoid the cold.
Seeing the black dragon anchoring, Jiang Caoqi perked up: "There is a fish down there, do you want to release the net?"
Ao Muyang shook his head: "Don't put the net, get off the fishing rod!"
As he spoke, he opened a box and pulled out a fishing rod, which was only half a meter long, but gradually lengthened when he pulled his hands apart, reaching a full two meters.
After inserting the fishing rod, Ao Muyang began to hang up the fishing line.
The fishing line he chose was 100 meters long, it was a No. 5 nylon line, and this fishing line was relatively thick, and Jiang Caoqi saw it and asked, "What kind of fish do you want to catch? Tuna or swordfish? There are also swordfish underwater here?"
Ao Muyang shook his head: "No, it's a hairtail, a very delicious hairtail." β
Jiang Caoqi was suddenly surprised: "Emperor ribbon fish?!"
The emperor ribbon fish is the longest bony fish in the world, and the largest of them is the herring king hairtail, with an average length of five or six meters, which can grow to one or two hundred kilograms!
The largest herring on record was 7.6 meters long and 272 kilograms, and when it was swimming underwater, the people on the boat thought they had encountered the legendary giant sea python JΓΆrmungad.
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "What do you think? We are in the shallow sea, how can there be an emperor ribbon fish?"
Hearing this, Jiang Caoqi looked at him strangely and said, "If it's an ordinary hairtail, how heavy can it be? Half a catty at most, right? As for using No. 5 nylon thread?"
Ao Muyang said: "You look at it, I have my own considerations." β
As he spoke, he began to hang hooks on the nylon line, and hung a dozen or twenty hooks in a row......
This is called a string of hooks, and the image is understood as a string of fish hooks. He put bait on each hook and swung it in the water, like a small herring.
The hooks entered the water, Ao Muyang carefully let them go down the water, and at this time the fishing rod could not be provoked, otherwise it would cause the hook to be knotted and invalidated.
As the hook sank into the water under the drag of the sinker, Ao Muyang carefully felt the strength of the fishing rod, and when he felt a slight pull from the fishing line, he fixed the runner.
He found an undercurrent, and with luck, the undercurrent hit the bait, and the lure would float in the water, looking more like a live fish.
After putting down a fishing rod, he took out another rod and line to put together.
Jiang Caoqi said with great interest: "Come, I'll help you." β
Ao Muyang shook his head and said: "You may not be able to get it right, this hook is very complicated, and it is difficult for novices to master the tricks." β
Jiang Caoqi said: "If you teach me, I will not be able to do it, I am very smart, I will definitely be able to help you, I can't help you, how long will you have to work yourself?"
Ao Muyang said with a smile: "It's not in a hurry, you have to wait until sunset when fishing for hairtail fish, it is best to wait until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when the harvest is the most." β
Saying this, he saw that Jiang Caoqi was idle and bored, so he had to teach him to tie string hooks.
"Attention, this fishing line is bifurcated, this line is very important, one end is tied to the main line, the other end is tied to the lead sinker, and the position should be moderate. When loading the hooks, you have to undo each hook slowly, being careful not to string them together......"
Jiang Caoqi didn't brag, he was indeed very smart and had a strong learning ability, and he learned it after Ao Muyang demonstrated it once.
Ao Muyang brought eight fishing rods, all of them hung up, each rod has twenty hooks, if the harvest is better, a wave can harvest hundreds of hairtail fish.
Put down the rod and wait, it's still afternoon, it's still early.
Jiang Caoqi sat on the bow of the boat and blew the sea breeze, then rubbed his hands and said: "Next time I go to sea, I will wear Hanfu, and then bring a guqin, so I will float on the sea and play the piano with the waves, you record a video for me, I will definitely be able to charm a circle of girls." β
That's no problem, Jiang Caoqi looks very handsome, even if he doesn't use the environment, he can charm a circle of girls.
In the early spring, there was little food in the sea, and the golden ribbon fish were even more impatient than Ao Muyang imagined, and they began to hunt early.
A fishing rod suddenly trembled, and Jiang Caoqi hurriedly got up and said, "The fish has been hooked!"
Ao Muyang calmly pressed his shoulder and said, "Wait a while, there is a string hook below, and this is at most one or two fish on the hook." β
Jiang Caoqi asked: "The fish will struggle hard after being hooked, are you not afraid that it will scare other fish away?"
Ao Muyang said with a smile: "You don't know butter mouth, this thing has a very fierce appetite, they won't be afraid, but the hooked fish struggle to drive other baits to float will appear more realistic, so that more fish can be tempted." β
Jiang Caoqi smacked his lips and said, "Okay." β
Ao Muyang dived into the water to monitor the situation of the fish on the hook, and these fish did move, their dorsal fins vibrated rapidly, their pectoral fins swayed back and forth, and their bodies bent like bows and arrows, pounced on the food as fast as they could.
After a while, he surfaced and took the bath towel handed by the black dragon to wipe his body, and said, "Come on, get ready to work!"
The eight fishing rods all shook violently, Ao Muyang chose one to pull out the fishing rod from the fishing position, and then grabbed the runner and rotated firmly, slowly pulling out the fishing line.
The general stayed at the bow of the boat and prepared to launch the water, Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "No, general, I'll get them up myself this time." β
Listening to his words, the general wagged his tail and sat down quietly.
Seeing this, Jiang Caoqi was very envious: "When will the leader become like a general?"
He turned his head to look at his dog, the little dog was caught by the wolf brothers, and the ravaged desire to live and die was constantly screaming.
