Chapter 555: The Crab and the Great Otter

This thing is supposed to be used to deal with large marine fish in sea fishing, but according to Anaya, there is no shortage of large objects that are 2 meters long and more than 100 catties, and it is suitable to use this heavy equipment to deal with them.

In addition to the fishing rod, Hong Tao also turned out his own sea fishing line and hook, which were bought when fishing in the Sea of Japan, and have not been used much, and have been put for several years, but most of them have not been opened, nor have they been exposed to strong light, and they should not be aged.

The main line Hongtao uses a tensile force of 120 pounds of eight-strand PE line, and the Dawa drum wheel winds the line for 300 meters, and the subline did not find a suitable one, so he had to use a 300-pound tensile nylon steel wire mixed soft line, and the hook is a big hook for sea fishing, and the hook door is wider than the thumb.

The other rod is a lighter configuration, with a 40-pound main line and a 35-pound anti-bite line, and the rod is a hard-toned lure rod that is 2.2 meters long. This rod is mainly used to catch small and medium-sized fish, which is relatively light to operate, and can be equipped with lure for lure, which is a multi-functional equipment.

Due to the success of the fishing activity on the first day, Hong Tao's appetite and confidence also rose, and when he set off with the speedboat again on the second day, Hong Tao proposed three basic principles to Anaya: newer, bigger, stronger! This means that fish that are too ordinary, fish that are not big enough and fish that are too easy to catch are not deliberately caught, and today's target fish is better to be a fish with relatively fresh species and strong or outstanding individuals.

Anaya didn't let Hong Tao and the harsh conditions put forward by him, he reported the names of 7 or 8 fish that met Hong Tao's requirements in one go, and then drove the speedboat to the destination he had in mind again.

After just over 20 minutes of driving, Anaya slowed down the boat and slowly drove the speedboat into a swamp with almost no waterways. The trees here grow relatively short, so even during the dry season, they are mostly more than half submerged, and the water is full of trunks and branches. In some places, you have to use oars to prop up the branches on your head to get through.

"Are there any special fish here?" Hong Tao looked at the criss-crossing tree trunks under the water, and his heart was not calm again, he felt that there must be no big fish in this kind of water, because they couldn't swim here at all, and it was difficult to turn around.

"We're not here to fish, we're going to catch some special bait!" Anaya said as she took out a small wooden stick from the cabin, with several sharpened wires tied to its head.

"Stick a toad!" Fat cloth recognized the purpose of this tool at a glance, although the specific production method is not the same as the domestic one, but the appearance is almost the same.

"Are you going to use this to catch frogs?" Hong Tao also knows this kind of thing. However, he felt that there were so many frogs here that he could easily take them from tree trunks, so there was no need to use such a tool.

"No, it's not a frog, it's a crab, you see, there are a few of them, let's paddle over them slowly, don't alarm it." Anaya dismissed Hong Tao's speculation, and then quietly pointed to the right. Commanding Hong Tao and the sturgeon to slowly lean over with their oars.

"Use crabs as bait! That's too extravagant, isn't it? Hong Tao looked in the direction of Anaya's finger, and also saw that on a tree branch a few meters away, there were three small crabs standing neatly, their size was only the size of a credit card. It's like it's cooked, it's dark red.

"These crabs don't have much meat, people don't like to eat them, if you want to eat crabs. It's time to go to Macapa, the estuary of the Amazon River, where several species of crabs can be eaten. Now this kind of bait! Syllable! Anaya explained to Hong Tao as she held the small wooden stick to her ear and aimed at a crab and pierced it.

"Oh, this is the bait for fishing Bisuau, we need to catch a few more, there are still over there, slowly lean over!" Anaya was very skillful in her technique, and she immediately tied a small crab.

"I'll try it too." Hong Tao saw that the technique of the Annayazar crab was very skilled, almost a small crab, and his interest was also aroused, and he planned to try it himself.

But it seems easier said than done, these little crabs are very alert, as long as the movement is a little bigger, they will stab and burrow into the water, Hong Tao stabbed 4 or 5 times, and only one was harvested.

"Lao Hong, you are old, your hands are shaking, or let me come." The fat man couldn't look at it for a long time, and directly snatched the small wooden stick from Hong Tao's hand.

"You're not good, it's not as good as mine, don't waste time, let's let Anaya come, if you continue like this, we won't want to fish today." Fat Zibu, like Hong Tao, is the master of the eyes and masters, pierced for a long time, only harvested 2 small crabs, seeing that he also planned to practice his craft again, Hong Tao couldn't help it, and quickly snatched the small wooden stick back and handed it to Anaya.

"Wait, wait, Lao Hong, what do you think that thing is over there?" After the small stick returned to Anaya's hand, the speed of the crab was increased several times, and there were so many small crabs here that almost every few branches, there would be a few small crabs lying on it to rest.

As the speedboat progressed deeper and deeper into the dwarf forest submerged in the water, the fat cloth, who was idle and doing nothing, was shooting around with a camera, and suddenly sounded the alarm to Hong Tao in a very low voice.

"I'm X, such a big water rat!" The sturgeon was sharper than Hong Tao's eyes, and soon saw the animal floating in the water dozens of meters away.

"It's supposed to be an otter, right? But this one is a bit big! Hong Tao then saw the animal as well, and at this time it was half-lying on the water, with two short forelimbs on its chest, and its weasel-like head lifted from the water, staring curiously at the speedboat.

"This is a big otter, don't be afraid, they are very timid, they will burrow under the water and escape at the slightest movement, they will not hurt people, this animal lives in groups, the family is active together, you pay attention, there must be around." Anaya only glanced up and continued to focus on the little crabs, which were not uncommon here.

"Hey, there's another one, and it's catching crabs to eat, you see, it's funny, there's a stone on its belly, and it's knocking the crab shell on the stone!" The fat man is holding the camera, and the lens can adjust the focal length, so that he can see it naturally more clearly than the naked eye.

"Each of these guys has a small stone of his own, no matter where he swims, he will hold it in his arms, and he will not throw it away easily, and when he touches food such as crabs and shells, he will throw it on his own small stone, but he is smart." Anaya looked at the crabs in the bucket and felt that it should be enough, so she no longer looked around, but watched the activities of the otter family with Hong Tao and the others, and acted as a volunteer commentator.

"A broken stone, is it so valuable?" Hong Tao thinks that although these big otters look like water rats and are not very photogenic, they still look quite cute.

"It's not easy to find a suitable rock in the rainforest, and a few years ago I had a French couple who lived with me and accidentally dropped a camera into the water while on a boat. A few days later, in another grove of woods, they saw their camera again, which was holding on to the belly of a large otter, and was used as a beautiful stone. Anaya casually told a little story, pointing to the SLR that the sturgeon hung on her chest as she spoke.

After catching the crabs, I caught more than a dozen small fish in the woods, and even if the bait was ready, the big otters seemed to think that they were not in any danger, so they also came out of the hidden places, and there were 7 or 8 large and small ones. They are not afraid of cameras at all, there are diving to catch crabs, there are lying on the trunk of the tree to comb each other's fur, Hong Tao carefully counted, sure enough, most of the otters will hold a stone, only 3 smaller otters have no stones, it is estimated that they are still underage.

No matter how fun the otter family was, Hong Tao and the others only stayed in the dwarf forest for more than ten minutes before leaving here and continuing to move towards today's fishing waters.

This time, the destination was also a stream of the Negro River, but it was much narrower than yesterday's, and the overhead was almost covered with a canopy, and no matter how harsh the sun was, it could only pass through the gaps in the leaves. On this stretch of river, Hong Tao felt as if he was in a huge, fully enclosed stadium.

Anaya turned off the boat's engine, then rowed the boat into the middle of the river with her oars, signaling to Hong Tao that they could take the bait.

"How did this crab take the bait! Where to get in? Hong Tao and the three of them took out the fishing rod that was ready, but no one knew what the hook was going to wear on the crab.

"Break off all the crab legs, and then go through the eye, and then out through the other eye." Anaya could only speak at this time, and he still had the oars in his hands, which looked calm, but the current was faster than yesterday's river, and he had to pick up the oars from time to time and paddle a few times, or the boat would be swept out of the canopy-covered channel.

"Lao Hong, have you ever fished with crabs? Will this hard thing have fish to eat? The fat man asked Hong Tao while breaking the crab legs.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've played like this, each village has its own tricks, let's try it first!" Hong Tao didn't know the bottom in his heart, but seeing that Anaya was so sure, he was still willing to give it a try.

The river is not very deep, about 10 meters in the middle of the river, because the river water has a slippery, so the bait and hook do not need to be thrown far, as long as they are thrown on the side of the boat, they will be slowly carried away by the current. At this time, it is necessary to test the feel of the angler, when the bait drifts down the water, the fishing line must always be on the index finger, and shake slightly from time to time, in order to feel whether the bait has fallen to the bottom of the river, and also feel whether the fishing line has touched the branches and branches, if it does not feel right, you have to quickly reel in the line, so as not to be entangled in the debris at the bottom of the water.
