"Lake Okeechobee is my hometown, where I grew up fishing with my father, and that's where I started my career. The Chinese boy's punctuation looks good on the surface, but he obviously doesn't know anything about the lake, there was originally a small dam here, which was only demolished last year, so there are very few anglers fishing for this punctuation, and I don't think much of it. The angler, Daniels, was obviously a little dismissive of Hong Tao's unprofessionalism, and although he didn't say anything too serious, his expression said it all.

"Alright then, we wish the Chinese boy good luck, now let's get out of here and take a look at the other anglers, please don't go away." The host understood Daniels's words, no matter how interested he was in Hong Tao, the TV broadcast could not be diverted by his own will, and it was his business to broadcast more pictures of fishing.

The broadcast boat stayed near Hong Tao for a few minutes, and then turned around and left, but Daniels, who drove the boat, was very professional, even if he was not optimistic about the punctuation point where Hong Tao was, but he still followed the rules of the angler, only opened the throttle to the minimum, so that the engine would not make a lot of noise, and when the boat was completely away from the punctuation point of Hong Tao, he increased the throttle and sailed into the distance.

"Honey, they're gone, you don't have to be too nervous, your boating skills really need to be practiced, if only we didn't go to Disney yesterday and borrowed Paul's speedboat to get familiar with it, did I hold you back?" Erin lay on the driver's seat, and after seeing the broadcast boat moving away, she whispered to Hong Tao.

"It's nothing, fishing depends on skill, not whether the boat is good or bad, you don't have to worry, see how your husband wins the game!" Hong Tao has gradually become familiar with using the foot pedal to control the direction of travel of the boat, this small technique can only bother him for a while, and there will be no problem after a while. Of course, it can't reach the level of doing what you want, and it can only be said that you can barely play.

"Come on!" Erin waved her arms a few more times to cheer Hong Tao up, then put on her sunglasses and began to bask in the sun.

Hong Tao finally drove the dinghy to the ideal position, then opened his bait box and took out 5 minnows that were exactly the same except for the color. These minoes have undergone special processing by Hong Tao, and the body is stuffed with a sponge soaked in fish scale water, but the concentration of fish scale water is different. Hong Tao uses color to distinguish their differences, with pink being the most concentrated. Down to the bottom, it's blue, yellow, yellow and white, and white. What he needs to do now is not to go fishing, but to do an initial field test to see which concentration of scale water works best for bass.

The Minoan is a type of lure that mimics a small fish and is made of wood, plastic, or metal, with a colourful paint that mimics a small fish. It is usually equipped with a small three-pointed spear hook on its tail and abdomen, and its mouth is a metal ring attached to the fishing line, which is of various colors, and mainly targets upper fish.

Lure fishing is very different from traditional fishing and table fishing. In traditional fishing methods and table fishing, the most important thing is the state and flavor of the bait, and then the judgment of the float action. In both cases, the taste, condition, and color of the bait are used to lure the fish over, and then the bait is sucked up. Through the different movements of the fish float, it is judged whether to lift the rod and stab the fish.

The lure fishing method uses bait, there is no taste type, and it completely relies on the action and sound of the lure in the water to imitate various forms of small fish, such as injury, escape, jumping, etc. This is used to lure nearby predatory fish to attack the lure. In this case, there are special requirements for the production of the bait.

For example, two identical baits, due to the difference in production materials, center of gravity, and appearance. The movement in the water may be completely different. Some baits will also install a small tongue-like thing on the head, this thing is called a water pressure plate or lip piece, the angler through the speed of the reel, a slight shaking of the rod, and then with the water pressure plate, you can make the bait in the water to make a variety of realistic actions, generally speaking, the more realistic it is, the easier it is to attract the attention of nearby predatory fish, and the higher the success rate.

But there is a premise of this fishing method, that is, the angler needs to actively look for the target fish, if there are no predatory fish nearby, then it is useless to play the bait more like a fish than the real fish. Because the lure fishing method can not be like the traditional fishing method and table fishing to make a nest, can not slowly tempt the fish in the distance, so in the lure fishing, the technique is very important, the bait is very important, but the most important thing is to find the fish through experience, the angler must first find the water where the target fish lives, and then can use the technique, otherwise it is all in vain.

Having said so much, it can be summed up in one sentence, lure fishing is people looking for fish, while traditional fishing and table fishing are fish looking for people.

Hong Tao's weakest link in lure fishing is to find fish, his technique of controlling the bait can not be said to be very good, but it is also okay, and the accuracy of casting the rod is no problem. But the technique of finding fish is not a day or two can be figured out, it turns out that Hong Tao catches the most traditional fish, four big fish or something, the living habits of these fish Hong Tao has almost mastered, even if he goes to a strange water, he can also judge the place through many years of accumulated experience to determine that the location is the most likely to store fish.

However, Lua's target fish are completely different, they are all predatory fish, and in the domestic waters, especially in the northern waters, Lua's target fish are often blackfish, pouting, horsemouth, white stripes, etc., perch is rare, Hong Tao basically has no practical experience, can only rely on books or previous exchanges with other anglers to get a few words.

So Hong Tao had to cheat, if it was an ordinary game, he wouldn't use fish scale water, and it didn't matter if he was in last place, it was just a practice. But this time is different, let's not talk about the problem of losing face, if you lose this time, it will be a real payment! Don't look at Hong Tao and Fat Man Bu and Sturgeon went to Amazon to play for more than ten days, and it didn't cost much in total, but with someone like Paul, his standard must be higher than Hong Tao, for his own pocket, Hong Tao feels that there is no psychological burden at all to cheat.

I have to say that the fish scales are really a divine thing, Hong Tao only threw two rods, and his fingers felt the shaking from the fishing line, which was a fish attacking the bait, but he hadn't swallowed the bait yet. Generally, there are only two possibilities for this situation in the process of lure, the first is that the mouth of the fish is too small, the bait is too big, and it can't swallow it; The second is that the bait runs fast, and the fish behind can't catch up;

If it is the first case, Hong Tao has no rut at all, and the Mino he chose is 13 centimeters long and weighs 18 grams, which is already the smallest one among the minnows he has processed. Even if there is a smaller mino, Hong Tao does not plan to change it, because the competition has a limit on the length of the fish caught, and it is meaningless to hook a fish that is too small.

If it is the second case, Hong Tao still has a way, he can control the speed of the rewinding, if it is fast, it will be slower, if it is slow, then it will be faster, anyway, there is always a speed that is appropriate, try a few more times.

After the third shot was thrown, Hong Tao slowed down the speed of the reel, and shook the rod from time to time, allowing the lure to jump on the water, like a small fish being frightened and running away. A few seconds later, Hong Tao's efforts paid off, and a water mark suddenly appeared on the water behind the bait, and a small fish caught up with the bait, and at the same time as it pounced and bit the bait, Hong Tao raised the fishing rod in front of him to the right and back.

"Get on the fish! Baby, get a big copy! With a heavy force in his hand, Hong Tao smiled happily and shouted while quickly closing the line.

"Here we go! Come on! Erin, who was lying in the driver's seat, got up with a carp, picked up the net from the back deck, and ran to the front deck with a jump, without saying a word, first gave Hong Tao a bite on the left side of his face, and then stared at the fishing line swinging back and forth, ready to copy the fish.

Hong Tao this time the choice of 5 Fenwick lure rod, tonal M/MH, 2.5 8 PE line, this fishing group with bass fishing has been considered a more ruthless configuration, about 2 catties of fish basically have no room for struggle, relying on the hardness of the rod and the strength of the fishing line, but not let the dead line, directly throw the fish up.

In fact, an important fun of fishing is to slip fish, if the rod is too hard, the line is too horizontal, it is not helpful to feel the taste of the fish, for this reason, some anglers will deliberately choose a soft rod with a soft tone, to feel the strength of the fish in the water for a while, and increase the fun of the fish.

But now is the time for competition, not the time to feel the fun, and the ultimate goal is to get the fish in the fastest, most effortless and safest way. Hong Tao himself has always been to catch a big fish as the goal, many times in the wild fishing for a week can not catch a big fish, so he is also used to choose those equipment with a relatively high reserve amount when choosing equipment, his slogan is: or you don't bite the hook, bite the hook don't want to run!

After being stabbed by a hook, the fish in the water wanted to escape, but Hong Tao pulled it back like a dead dog, and only made two lateral movements to tell him to swim, and he had already reached the side of the boat.

"Oh God! It's a crocodile! Hong Tao, be careful! Don't go near it! Erin was sharper than Hong Tao's eyes, and when a fish mouth was just revealed on the water, she screamed, not only threw the net aside, but also pulled Hong Tao's shorts back with her hand, for fear that her husband would be bitten by the fish in the water.
