Chapter 308: Fishing in the middle of the water
I don't know if Lu Dao's relatively large pouting mouth also has the habit of getting together, anyway, after everyone threw a few rods, Wang Jian was the first to hit the fish, and the size is not small, almost 70 cm long, 8 or 9 pounds. Later, Pavey, Harrison, and Hong Tao also caught the fish one after another, and they were all about the same size, but they didn't encounter the giant thing more than 1 meter long that the old fisherman said.
As the sun gradually rose, the fish in the water changed significantly, and the pouting beaks became smaller and smaller, until about 9 o'clock, there were no more fish chasing the waves on the water, no matter how hard everyone threw the rod, how far the bait was thrown, and how much it was controlled like an escaped small fish, they could not catch another fish.
"I said boss, don't bother it, this little big fish has gone to deep water, and you can't catch it, let's change places." Seeing Hong Tao and the others sweating all over their heads, the old fishermen finally couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded each other.
"Okay, I really can't throw it anymore, you said that this fish is too, it's more punctual than going to work, can't you leave if you're late for a while!" Hong Tao rubbed his arm while propping the pole on the side of the boat, and he couldn't stand this kind of physical exertion.
"Wang Jian, go and talk to Pavey, don't be stupid, this wave of fish is gone, let's change places." Hong Tao was so tired that he didn't even bother to walk, he was lazy and lazy, and asked Wang Jian to inform the two people at the bow of the boat, although he couldn't see the scene on the bow of the boat, but he could also hear from the occasional swishing sound that the two old men were still working hard.
"Uncle Liu, you and Old Gail don't come down to do activities, it's worth it for us to play below, you guys watch from above!" Hong Tao and Erin returned to the cabin, Boss Liu and Old Gail also got down from the top of the boat, the two of them have not touched a fishing rod since they set off, except for drinking tea and chatting is playing chess and taking pictures.
"Hahaha, I'm happy to see you fishing. Besides, some of my photos didn't show people, and they lit the fish, and when I went back, I said that I caught them, and who wouldn't admit it. "Boss Liu's character is too inferior, and he even does such a non-technical thing as plagiarism.
"I caught 4 fish, but the weight is heavier than yours, although you catch more than me, but most of them are small fish, and the quality is obviously not as high as mine." Harrison hadn't made it into the cabin yet. The voice has come in.
"Fishing is all about the number of tails, do you want to compare the weight! You didn't explain it beforehand, did you? I'm fishing by quantity, can you be like a man! Immediately followed by Pavey's voice, the two of them couldn't speak without arguing.
"You didn't say that you won by counting the mantissa number, I fished according to the weight, and catching big fish is the real skill, unlike you, you see, you also use this kind of small fish to make up the number." Harrison stepped into the cabin. There is also a one-foot-long pouting in his hand, which is said to be not a small fish, at least in the reservoirs in the north.
"Stop, stop. You're not tired, let's change places and fish, and then you can talk about the rules and then re-compete. You don't have any of this kind of fish, do you? Hong Tao took advantage of Pavey's failure to return the favor, and quickly interrupted their quarrel. If they don't care about it, they can keep it until it's dark, and it's one thing.
"Yes. I haven't seen it, but they're a lot like PIKE, which is interesting. Harrison stopped grinding his teeth with Pavey and talked to Hong Tao about fishing.
"We also have the PIKE you mentioned, but they are all in the border area, far away, and the number is too small to catch it." Hong Tao knew what kind of fish Harrison said about PIKE, which the Chinese call pike, and distributed in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, and the number has been very small due to overkilling.
"What are we going to fish for next?" Pa Wei still doesn't seem to be tired, Hong Tao really admires their bodies, they are all 5 or 60 years old, this physical strength is better than that of young men like Hong Tao and Wang Jian, it seems that those who eat meat are stronger than those who eat food.
"I don't know either, let's listen to the guide, this is his territory." Hong Tao spread his hands, he really didn't know what to do, at this time the boat had already started, but the speed was not fast, as if he was looking for a fishing spot.
"Don't you have to go through the formalities for fishing here? Or are you reporting it after fishing? Harrison's question raised a topic that made Hong Tao difficult.
"Hmm...... Basically, there is no need to go through the formalities, and there is no need to report ......" Hong Tao had to answer truthfully.
"And who's going to protect these fish? Yesterday I saw a fish seller on the road with a lot of small fry in their tanks. Harrison was still in hot pursuit.
"I can't say this question well, there are relatively few people fishing in China, only a small number of people like fishing, so there are still fewer fish caught, and the small fry you mentioned is estimated to be farmed." Hong Tao couldn't answer Harrison's question truthfully, so he could only avoid the important and trivialize, and deceive people all over the place.
Those who sell small fish are probably fish caught in the reservoir under the net, and the Chinese eat all the sizes, and they have created many ways to eat, and in this respect, the Chinese seem to be much smarter than the rigid Canadians. But it's because they're rigid that you have more fish to catch in Canada.
Hong Tao has always deliberately avoided discussing this issue with them, mainly because they don't understand it. Those of them who have been educated about environmental protection since childhood cannot imagine that they can fish their country's fish stocks in the country's waters, regardless of size and in some seasons, with nets, poisons, electricity, and explosives. So Hong Tao didn't go to this trouble, and he couldn't explain why the government allowed this, and Hong Tao felt that this was a scandal, and it was better to be less ugly, because even if you raised it, you couldn't solve any problems.
The old fisherman is the old fisherman, this water area has been thoroughly figured out by him, and it didn't take long for the yacht to anchor again.
"Boss, this is a good place to hook a string, and there is that fish nest next to it, you will definitely catch a lot of fish here." Soon, Li Laohan came to the cabin to inform everyone that they could start fishing.
"Uncle, what kind of bait do you use to fish? Are corn beans made? Hong Tao took out the corn beans he had soaked from the fishing box and asked Li Laohan.
"Cheng, you can use anything, I will also prepare some bait for you, and I will use this to fish." Li Laohan said, taking out a corn cob from a small plastic bag, it looked like it was still cooked.
"Yes, thank you, let's give it a try." Hong Tao took Li Laohan's plastic bag and sniffed it, it was an ordinary corn cob, it was probably boiled in white water, and nothing was put in.
Under the command of Hong Tao, everyone began to change the fishing rod and fishing group, according to Li Laohan, there is no need to throw the bait out of the water so far, just hang the bait down from the side of the boat, this fishing method is a bit like sea fishing, the water depth here is about more than 30 meters, and the fish in that water layer no one can say, you can only rely on yourself to try.
This time Hong Tao chose a 2.1-meter lure rod, in fact, it is most suitable to use a sea fishing rod here, but Hong Tao didn't expect to use a boat rod in fresh water, so he didn't take it, so he had to use a shorter lure rod instead, but he replaced the small wheel and thin line on the lure rod with a large wheel and thick line on the long-throw rod, because there may be a huge object underwater, in case of bite, the rod itself is thin, and the wheel and line are not strong, and how much ability can not be obtained.
Hong Tao still chose the stern, this time he learned a lesson, and got a set of fishing tackle for Erin alone, lest she grab her own fishing rod again, this kind of beginner angler is very headache, their addiction is often very big, and luck is leveraged, just like playing mahjong, novices often Hu big cards, luck comes, can not be stopped.
This time, Boss Liu and Old Gail stopped watching the excitement, and one of them took a rod and fished in the middle of the boat. Hong Tao for everyone to choose a 3 hook hook, tied below a 25 grams of small lead sinker, the reason why this weight was chosen, mainly because the lure rod whistle is relatively soft, if the lead sinker is too large, the fishing rod will automatically become bow-shaped, and the reeling line is also difficult. Anyway, you don't have to throw it far, and you can sink with a little weight.
As for the bait, Hong Tao still chose the corn beans he brewed, which is cooked with horsetooth corn and soaked in honey and koji wine, the taste is a little sweet, and the natural fragrance of corn, there are no additives in the commercial bait, and the taste is not very strong, which should be suitable for the taste of wild fish here.
