Chapter Eighty-Eight: Icebreaker Fishing
In North America in winter, in fact, the crime rate is the highest, the weather is cold and the road is slippery, if you commit an accident in the suburbs, in other seasons, the police will rush over in three minutes, but in such a season, let alone three minutes, the police may not be able to rush over in thirteen minutes.
So this is also the favorite season of the rioters, but the United States is still much better than his little brother Canada, because they have more people here and more workers, so there are some small roads that have not had time to be cleared, but the main roads are still cleared quickly, and Canada, there are a total of 35 million people in the country, accounting for the second largest land area in the world.
Naturally, the land is vast and wide, and the people are sparse...... In Canada, cleaners earn the highest salaries.
But even so, the cleaners still can't recruit people, it's too few, so the main roads are not easy to clear in Canada, but it's okay in the city, as soon as you get out of the city, there is a snow-white world almost everywhere.
So although Philemon and Jiang Hai are not afraid of things, there is no need to cause trouble, come out to play, safety first, so they chose this river nearby, after all, it is very close to Winthrop.
What the? The river is close to people, and there are no fish in the river? Actually, you don't have to think about this at all, where is this? American imperialism!
They basically don't eat river fish, so as long as there is water, they will never be short of fish here.
After Jiang Hai and the other three parked the car, they got out of the car with their things, Harriman was very happy, obviously he hadn't come to play for a while since he had a stable job, and he was very happy.
I took out a sledgehammer and iron fiber from the car and got out of the car, and went to open the ice first.
In fact, there is also a point in opening the ice, not that you can go up and smash a hole directly, you can fish, this hole is not smashed, it is easy to smash the ice sheet, and if you fall down yourself, it will be troublesome.
So breaking the ice is actually a technical job, and I don't know how to do it if I haven't done it.
You need to first smash the ice around it with iron fibers, then cut it, and then use iron claws to pull this piece of ice out of the ice cave, so that it works, Jiang Hai is no stranger to this kind of action, as an ordinary fart in the ice city, when he passes by the river in the ice city every winter, he can often see a lot of people taking ice in some remote places.
Otherwise, where do you think those ice lanterns, ice sculptures and so on come from?
But if you know, he's done it before, but Philemon and Harriman are veterans of them.
In a short time, the ice had already been opened, this was a square ice cave with a diameter of about one and a half meters, which was not very regular, and it was enough for Jiang Hai and them.
After the ice cave was built, Philimon here first raised a fire in the ice city next to him, which was to roast them.
Raising a fire on the ice will not roast the ice, but they may squat, but they can sit on the ice city for a long time, but it will freeze them, and there is a fire roasting, which is much more comfortable, and Philemon here will raise the fire, and Harriman over there is ready to take the bait.
In fact, icebreaker fishing is a very easy thing for North Americans, because you only need to break the ice, and then get some bait to attract the upper Asian carp, just like now, Jiang Hai has clearly seen that the shadows of a few fish are skipped from the water, but the American imperialists do not eat Asian carp, so they are not this kind of fish they are fishing for icebreakers.
And the indigenous fish of the United States imperialism, it takes some time to catch these good fish.
"These are, bait." Seeing Jiang Hai looking over, Harriman here also smiled at Jiang Hai and hit the two buckets beside him, but as soon as he opened it, Jiang Hai had a feeling of wanting to vomit......
Because these two buckets are densely packed with insects, the insects in one of the barrels are all kinds, some are like centipedes, but the body is soft, and some are mostly like earthworms, but they are much larger than earthworms.
At first glance, Jiang Hai's scalp was a little numb, and he unconsciously took two steps back.
"Don't be afraid, these don't bite." Seeing Jiang Hai retreating, Harriman couldn't help laughing, and when the big man spoke, he put his hand into one of the buckets, grabbed a bug with legs, and then took out a needle from the backpack behind him, and pumped it into the body of the bug, and in an instant, the bug swelled up like a balloon.
"It's okay, these insects are harmless to us, this bucket is full of sand silkworms, which I and Harriman went to catch in the morning, these are boat maggots, which Edward specially raised, and they are used for fishing in normal times, and today I heard that we were coming over, so he gave us some." At this time, Philemon next to him also came over and said with a smile.
In fact, whether it is a sand silkworm or a boat maggot, it is a good thing for fishing, especially the sand silkworm, which is called sea fishing universal bait.
In the south of China and Southeast Asia, in fact, these two kinds of insects can be eaten, but Jiang Hai can't stand it.
In the past, Jiang Hai was at most catching earthworms, this kind of thing, the hurdle in his heart was not easy to step.
"That's it, I'll help you wear it, and you can fish." At this time, Harriman seemed to see that Jiang Hai's hurdle was not so easy to overcome, so he smiled and handed the worn fishing line to Jiang Hai's hand, seeing that Harriman had already helped him get it, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, and did not refuse, but sat directly on the bench he brought over and fished in the ice cave.
But the place where he sat was the farthest away from the two buckets of bugs.
While waiting for fishing, I carefully looked at the two buckets over there, for fear that it would turn over and the bugs would run over.
Obviously, he just thinks too much, which is the same as being afraid of heights, standing in a high place, he always feels that he will fall.
Jiang Hai is afraid of insects, so sitting here, he always feels that those insects will crawl on his body, which is the same.
"Boss, you pin your license on your chest or arm, this place is close to the town, if the police come over for a while and see us fishing, if you come to check again, it will be easy to scare the fish away." Just when Jiang Hai was about to lose his soul, Harriman and Philemon here had already put on their respective baits and put them into the water, but after putting them in the water, Philemon also deliberately said a word to Jiang Hai, and when he heard his words, Jiang Hai immediately took out a card from his jacket pocket.
In the United States, there is a little difference in fishing in China, in the United States, fishing is required to apply for a license, otherwise it is illegal, it is to go to prison, every year the United States imperialism will have the so-called freshwater fish moratorium, during this time, fishing and other activities are not allowed, of course, as long as you are not discovered by others for a few days, no one will care about you.
In particular, Jiang Hai mainly focuses on Asian carp, which can be caught all year round.
But now, they're not here to catch Asian carp, they're here to catch something more valuable.
It may be that because the weather is too cold, the fish under the water not only move more slowly, but also need to eat a lot less, which is why most of the cold-water fish are smaller than the tropical fish.
Because the other party eats all year round, and cold-water fish eats for eight months and starves for four months, it will grow strange.
After about half an hour, maybe the allure of the sand silkworm was indeed very strong, so that these lazy moving fish finally couldn't bear it, and Jiang Hai instantly felt his hand sink.
Then his great power was unmistakably revealed, and in a few moments, the fish was pulled out of the water.
threw the fish on the ice next to it, and after the fish fell to the ice city, it was still struggling, trying to jump back into the water, but Jiang Hai, who had prepared it a long time ago, pressed his head and lifted it up.
"Oh, what a good start, it's a brown trout." Seeing the fish pulled out of the water by Jiang Hai, Filip Bo here couldn't help laughing.
"It's a good thing!" Looking at the fish in front of him, which was almost forty centimeters long, Jiang Haile was about to close his mouth.
Speaking of brown trout, people who are not very familiar with fish may not be too clear, but when it comes to the brother of brown trout, rainbow trout, it is estimated that many people know that these two kinds of fish are trout, as long as they are trout, the price is not generally high.
Under the same weight, it is still not a problem to be dozens of times that of a carp, and after taking off the hook, Jiang Hai smiled and threw the fish into the insulated water tank that had been prepared a long time ago, this time it was a real good start.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai felt that those sand silkworms and ship maggots were not so terrible, this time he took the initiative to go over, picked a sand silkworm that didn't look so ugly, sat down in his place again, pumped up the hook, and threw it into the water.
The animal was in one go, and seeing Jiang Hai's beautiful appearance, Philippon and Harriman couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, they concentrated to feel the vibration in their hands, and after a while, Harriman also caught the fish.
He caught a North American pike, this kind of guy who was originally the king and hegemon in the North American freshwater basin, at this time has been suppressed by Asian carp and is about to have no room to survive, but it is undeniable that the taste of this fish that eats fish is very good.
This North American pike is about the same length as Jiang Hai's brown trout, and it is also more than 40 centimeters, which also makes Harriman very happy.
At this time, Philemon also fished, I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy, this fish on Philemon may not be as expensive as Jiang Hai's brown trout, and Harriman's pike, but the weight and length are definitely the highest.
What he caught was a big perch, and Jiang Hai knew at a glance that the weight of this fish would definitely not be less than ten catties.
