Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fishing Again

Compared to sashimi, the boiled puffer fish meat and fish soup taste different.

When you take a bite of fish soup and bibimbap, you feel that it is fresh, very fresh.

The fresh and evocative touch deeply impressed every diner present, and the result was a large table of dishes ordered, and in the end, there were still many left to eat.

On the contrary, it was the big pot of Thai fragrant rice, which was eaten by several people.

After an unforgettable dinner, everyone took a walk outside the hotel in twos and threes, and then went back to the room to rest satisfied.

There was nothing to say all night, until the next morning, Yang Zi didn't get up yet, and was woken up by Qian Gang.

This product originally loved to eat, and was recently taken by Qiaoqiao, a senior foodie, for a while, and now it is officially called a member of the foodie family.

After he tasted the puffer fish made by Yang Zi last night, he never forgot it in his heart.

As a result, I got up at five o'clock today, ready to go to a good position early, and strive to catch a few more guinea fish to satisfy my hunger.

Although it was very early, it was already getting bright.

Because Thailand is a time zone earlier than Beijing, people who have been using Beijing time are naturally a little slower than the locals.

After washing up quickly, bringing some simple dry food for breakfast, we went to the boat rental place.

The person on duty here today is still the same boatman from yesterday, and his attitude towards Yang Zi, a group of passengers who have given very generous tips, is still extremely enthusiastic.

After a brief greeting and the equipment and tackle were moved to the boat, everyone began to prepare for departure.

On the Hua Hin side, there is an unwritten rule that service personnel are basically allowed to receive tips.

This amount depends on the generosity of the guests, for example, when they meet Yang Zi, they are not bad for money, and the reward at the end of the day may be comparable to the salary of ordinary people working for several days.

Of course, this is also related to your service thoughtfulness and attitude, so what Yang Zi and they feel here is the kind of very careful and thoughtful treatment.

No, everyone was about to set off, and the boatman glanced at Yang Zi's equipment a few times, and then said something to Qiaoqiao in English.

Qiaoqiao translated, it turned out that the other party saw that they didn't bring an umbrella, and today's weather forecast showed that there would be a heavy rain later, so he kindly reminded them.

As soon as Yang Zi heard that this was the case, he asked everyone to wait on the boat for a while, and trotted back to the RV, carrying the awning he had bought before, and a few fishing umbrellas.

Everything was in order, and everyone set off smoothly, heading towards the waters with a hint of morning mist.

After some exploration yesterday, Yang Zi and the others already have a general understanding of the nearby waters.

So today they didn't waste any more time, and directly let the boatman take them to a farther place.

As the boat traveled for more than ten minutes, everyone saw the surface of the Pranburi River, a tributary of the Mekong River, in the distance.

Because it is close to the mouth of the sea, the water flow is gentle and the terrain is very open.

"Qiaoqiao, you can help me ask the boatman if he knows where in this water area he has ever caught Siamese carp. ”

After walking around, Yang Zi asked the boatman for news.

With this wide water, it is most appropriate to ask locals like them if you want to find the right fishing spot quickly.

Qiaoqiao communicated with the boatman in English, and then soon learned that there were two places where big fish had been hit here.

One is at the entrance of the Pranburi River, and the other is more than 300 meters from the mouth of the river.

However, because the latter fishing spot is in the rainy season, it has been completely flooded, so I can only give you a reference to the location.

According to the information provided by the boatman, Yang Zi and Deng Gang discussed and finally set the fishing spot, about 200 meters away from the Pranburi River.

Halfway between the two sites mentioned above, is a previously submerged oval mound that appears somewhat bare.

Not far from the back of the mound is a group of low hills.

There is a small body of water between the two, but Yang Zi estimates that the depth here should be quite shallow and not suitable for cooperative fishing.

The water on which everyone is going to fish is facing this side of the Pranburi River.

This extremely wide water is deep enough for them to do as they please, and the confluence of this river is also very secure for fish to live.

For today's fishing spots, Yang Zi and the others are obviously more satisfied than yesterday.

Everyone moved their equipment and equipment to the shore, and after thanking the boatman, they quickly began to pack up the fishing spots and fishing tackle.

For the selection of bait this time, Yang Zi and the others made some adjustments.

For example, the two towing rods used to fish for Siamese carp were replaced with corn soaked in wine and bait.

And Qian Gang's rod for fishing meat bait used a piece of pork liver that Yang Zi robbed from the kitchen yesterday.

These two kinds of bait with a strong smell are believed to increase their catch rate a lot.

Quickly prepared the fishing rod and hung up the bait, and then it was time for Yang Zi to appear.

This bulky rod is designed without thinking about casting, so it is difficult to throw the bait out without a little effort.

He picked up the prepared rod and leaned it on his shoulder, found the right direction, and threw it vigorously, and with a roar from the tip of the rod, the fishing rig was thrown far to the predetermined surface.

In this way, the remaining two tow rods were set up in turn, and Yang Zi and Qian Gang and Deng Gang each took a hand rod and began to clean it up.

With yesterday's delicious puffer fish as a precedent, several people are looking forward to the harvest of the hand rod today than the trolling rod.

In order to increase the chance of the puffer fish being hooked, Qian Gang directly touched a few small snails from the river, broke them and hung them on the hook to start fishing.

I don't know if he checked the recipe and knew that puffer fish prefer fresh live bait.

As for Yang Zi and Deng Gang, they didn't use bait so much, but chose a commercial bait and bloodworms to use for fishing.

Keep in mind that there are many species of fish in the river, including freshwater sea bass and eels, which are nutritious and delicious catches.

These fish may not be comparable to puffer fish in terms of taste, but with more choices, the difficulty of catching them will naturally decrease.

Everyone hung up their bait and lowered their rods, and then stared intently at the fish in the water, and began to wait for the fish they hoped for to be hooked.

In the morning in Hua Hin, the temperature is relatively cool.

In addition, it was still a rainy day, and after a gust of morning breeze, everyone on the shore couldn't help but arouse a layer of goosebumps.

"Yang Zi, can you see the fish float clearly like this? When the wind blows on my side, why do you feel that there are fish biting the hook all the time?

If I keep staring like this, I'm going to have to get a pair of glasses. ”

Looking at the fish drift that was undulating in the waves, Qian Gang talked to Yang Zi with a little headache.

I don't know if the fishing position they chose today is good or not, but one of the drawbacks has been discovered.

That's because it's close to the Pranburi River, so the waves are almost twice as big as they were yesterday.

Fishing in such an environment doesn't have any effect, but when used for hand rods, the situation is a bit unsatisfactory.

"Haha! It's just starting to get windy, and when it rains, you can't see it.

Who told us not to pay attention when we chose the position, thinking that there are big fish to fish, how can we think that in order to eat fish, we will fish the stubble of the hand rod?

But since you're here, let's make do with fishing for a while, and wait until it rains to see how it goes.

If you take the rod and blunt it a little bit, your vision should be better. ”

Looking at the waves that were gradually gaining momentum, Yang Zi also replied to Qian Gang helplessly.

He had noticed this when he was casting the rod, but the fisherman had already gone back to the hotel, and it was obviously a bit too much of a toss to change places at this time.

Moreover, their main purpose is still Siamese giant carp and other big fish, and the hand rod is just to satisfy their appetite.

If it rains and you can't use your hand rod to fish anymore, you can sit in the canopy for a while and watch the trolling rod to see if there are any fish.

kept thinking in his heart, Yang Zi's fish float on the surface of the water suddenly, and suddenly a small black drift came.

Hey! Xiaokou, let's just ignore it, can the black drift miss it for you? Seeing the movement, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to mention it, and a small crucian carp was quickly hooked up by him.

Looking at the little crucian carp that was jumping vigorously, Yang Zi shook his head and threw the other party into the fish guard, and then continued to fish.

"Brother Yang, come and take a look, there seems to be something on the water surface behind you. ”

Bored fishing for kittens, Yang Zi suddenly heard Qiaoqiao shouting to himself in the sunshade canopy.

He threw down the fishing rod and ran over to take a look, the other party was holding a meow in his arms, and he was observing the water surface on the other side of the mountain with Zhang Jiao and several photographers in the past.

"What's wrong? What do you see?"

Glancing at the muddy yellow river, Yang Zi, who had found nothing, asked a little strangely.

"It seems that there is something, but I can't see it clearly.

You know, meows are usually rarely called, but just now they suddenly meowed in this direction.

As soon as I turned my head, I only saw a splash of water, you say, could it be the blood-sucking blanket?"

Thinking of the experience of Shawan Naji, Qiaoqiao guessed a little with palpitations.

She didn't say that she would, but at this opening, Zhang Jiao and several photographers took a few steps back, obviously apprehensive about this object.

"Haha! Where are there so many blood-sucking blankets, it's a very coincidence that I ran into that last time.

When meow is hungry, it will make a noise when it sees your favorite food.

Seeing that it is so calm now, it should not be a dangerous animal.

If you are afraid, go far from the shore. ”

Looking at the few people with frightened faces, Yang Zi chuckled and comforted a few words.

Although the meow calls represent an early warning, sometimes when you see your favorite fish, you will also make a sound.

And if it were any dangerous creature, Meow wouldn't be as calm as it is now.

Yang Zi and Qiaoqiao said hello, and then returned to the shore and began to continue fishing.
