Chapter 6 Pond Fishing
Li Junge came to the back of the house and took down a cart rod from the wall.
The cart rod is a traditional fishing tackle in the Sichuan-Guizhou area, all made of bamboo.
The rod body of his wheel rod is a spotted bamboo that grows in the middle of the stone crevice in the high part of Bifeng Mountain.
Because of the cold growing environment and lack of nutrients, although it is more than five years old, the main stem is still not thick, only the thickness of the thumb, but it is extremely strong.
Spotted bamboo is scattered bamboo, will not become a forest, is a genus of grass bamboo subfamily, the pole height is generally seven to thirteen meters, the bamboo pole is distributed with purple-brown spots, known as moire purple spots, is a famous ornamental bamboo in China, but also the high-quality material of bamboo furniture and handicrafts in China.
Spotted bamboo is mainly distributed in Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, and it is relatively rare in Shudu Province. When Li Junge was a teenager, he climbed the mountain in order to find this bamboo pole.
Banzhu also has a beautiful legend, according to legend, Da Shun traveled to Jiuzhi Mountain and did not return, his concubine Empress E Nu Ying went out to visit, to the land of Xiaoxiang, after learning the death of Da Shun, he wept and died, and became the god of Xiangshui after his death.
And their blood and tears were sprinkled on the green bamboo, leaving a little marking, becoming the spotted bamboo, so the spotted bamboo has another name, called "Xiangfei bamboo".
The spotted bamboo pole in Li Junge's hand has been used for many years, and the whole is golden yellow, with purple-brown moire dancing on it, like the shape of fingerprints. It is a rare spotted bamboo boutique.
The bottom of the bamboo pole is dug by the roots, with a part of the thick bamboo roots, which happens to be a naturally formed grip.
The bamboo pole is about 1.5 meters long, with a pair of holes near the grip, and a thin stainless steel shaft is connected to a wheel the size of a sea bowl at one end.
The disc is a winding wheel made of eight symmetrical paddles, also known as the "Bagua wheel". When holding the rod in one hand, the thumb and index finger can just control the Bagua wheel, and with just a slight flick, the wheel will rotate on the pole, and you can freely reel and release the line.
This pole is very convenient to carry, and the fishing range is also very wide, and it can be used for fishing in streams, rivers, ponds and other waters. In addition to being used for fishing, it can also be used for kite flying.
Li Junge's Bagua wheel is wound around the fishing line of a strong horse, which is 100 meters long and has been maintained with tung oil, so although it has not been used for many years, the fishing line can still be used.
Thread the line through the stainless steel wire loop on the bamboo rod and take out a three-gram lead sinker from your tackle box, along with a small rubber band.
First put the small rubber band through the thread, and then the lead sinker is threaded to the thread.
The rubber band can move up and down freely, and the lead sinker is fixed, and a figure-eight ring is tied under the sinker, and then a No. 2 nylon fishing line about 10 cm is taken out and tied to the other end of the figure-eight ring as a strangle, and an No. 8 Iseni hook is tied to the end of the strand.
Then he took a large fishing net from the wall and went to the edge of the pond.
Walking to the pond where the fish were fed, he put the net on the ground and pulled out a pencil-shaped hose from his trouser pocket.
The fish float is like a sharpened pencil, about six or seven centimeters long, one end is thick, the other is thin, and he inserts the thin end into the rubber ring on the fishing line.
Due to the elastic force, the rubber band can fix the fish drift on the fishing line, with a little force, the rubber band can still move on the line, and the water depth can be adjusted freely for fishing.
Since it is a float-fishing grass carp, Li Junge only retains about 15 centimeters of line length between the hook and the float.
After doing this, the cart rod rig is assembled, and a young pumpkin leaf is plucked from the pond, folded twice, and hung on the hook, so that the hook tip is completely exposed.
With a slight flick of Li Junge's right hand and a slight flip of his index finger on the gossip wheel, the pumpkin leaves floated into the water and landed on the outside of the rectangular Nanzhu feeding frame.
The plumb sinker slowly sank with the pumpkin leaves, and then was dragged by the float, stabilizing 15 centimeters underwater, and the float also stood up, revealing only a red float head on the surface of the water.
Then Li Junge gently turned the gossip wheel again and retracted the excess floating line. Keep the line between the rod and the drift as low as possible.
Because a lot of grass has just been put into the Nanzhu frame in the pond, a grass carp nest has just been formed, and a large number of grass carp are greedily eating the grass floating in the frame.
Grass carp eats a very large amount. A grass carp in summer can eat grass equivalent to more than 1/2 of its body weight in a day, and it can pull fast if it eats more, so the desire for grass carp to eat after the Dragon Boat Festival is very strong.
The large amount of feces excreted by grass carp can be used as food for other benthal fish, and can also feed a large number of small fish, shrimp and algae.
Therefore, as long as there is a certain number of grass carp in a pond and they are fed regularly and quantitatively, there will be no shortage of food for other organisms in the whole pond.
The growth of grass carp is very fast, and the three-year-old grass carp can grow to more than ten catties under the condition of sufficient food, and the meat quality is relatively delicious, so a certain amount of grass carp will be put in the general farm pond.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after the pumpkin leaves were dropped, the red pencil floated down suddenly without warning, disappearing into the water, and the wheel of the cart rod in Li Junge's hand began to be pulled and turned wildly, and the fishing line was dragged to the middle of the pond in one fell swoop.
Li Junge pressed his left hand on the wheel, and with a wave of his right hand, he saw that the bamboo pole bent out of a powerful arc, steadily stabbing the fish.
Of course, the big grass carp will not give in immediately, and begins to struggle violently.
The braking of the Bagua wheel depends on the pressure of the left palm, and in the case of the same pulling force, if the pressure is heavy, the wheel will rotate slowly, and if the pressure is light, the wheel will rotate fast. To brake completely, get your finger stuck between the wheel paddle and the pole.
The so-called use of the wonderful, there is a lot of difference, there will be a big difference between the techniques of the master and the novice.
Li Junge likes fishing since he was a child, of course, he is a master, I saw that he firmly grasped the control between the mermaid and the mermaid, not in a hurry, when the big grass carp exerted force, he slowly released the fishing line, and when the grass carp finished exerting his strength, he began to rotate the gossip wheel to retract the fishing line.
Grass carp generally has three times to exert force, and sure enough, after three tug-of-wars, the big grass carp began to be powerless and was dragged to the surface by Li Junge.
When the grass carp saw the light, it began to struggle violently for the last time, and its tail slapped violently on the surface of the water, splashing huge waves, and burrowing under the water again.
"Wow! this fish is really not small, at least ten catties up!" Li Junge thought excitedly while steadily controlling the car plate.
After several tosses, the big grass carp finally had no strength, turned out its white belly on the water surface, and was slowly shaken to the side by Li Junge, took out a large copy net, and copied it in the net at once.
From the middle fish to the walking fish into the net, it was only ten minutes before and after, and when Li Junge carried the big grass carp into the kitchen, Shi Sufen had just put the rice in the pot and was cutting vegetables.
Seeing Li Junge come in, Shi Sufen smiled and said: "Your ability to make fish and shrimp is also fierce, I have to get a few vegetarian dishes first, you go to the back and get the fish and ingredients to bring it to me." β
Li Junge came to the green tile shed at the back, first hung the cart rod back in place, dragged out a large basin from under the cement platform, and put the big grass carp into it.
Drag the hose from the tank down and place it on the edge of the tub, and the spring water will start to flow into the tub.
After thinking about it, he took out a cigarette case and put it on the stomach of the grass carp as a reference, and then took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the big grass carp, and sent it to the WeChat fishing friend group.
I typed another sentence, "Go back to my hometown today, the first fishing." β
Li Junge joined a national group of fishing friends, who came from all over the world, all of whom played freshwater fishing, and also made a lot of friends.
Li Junge's WeChat name is "On the Water Side".
Soon WeChat was full of messages:

After playing these, Li Junge quit the WeChat group, and selected a few photos of the scenery along the road that he thought were good for when he came back today, plus a photo of the grass carp, and posted it to the circle of friends together, adding a sentence: "Have a safe journey and get home safely." Eat the sauerkraut fish made by my mother tonight. β
