Chapter 551: Piranha, Man Eats Fish

"I said, you look familiar, okay, you're a piranha! Can this thing be eaten? Is it tasty? Hong Tao finally turned to the page with this fish, which described this fish as piranhabranca, also known as piranhabranca, a type of piranha with a medium size.

"You can eat it, grill it, it tastes good, there are no fish bones!" The cook gave an affirmative answer.

At this time, the fish seemed to understand the conversation between Hong Tao and the cook, and used its sharp teeth to make the hook on the sequins creak and gurgle.

"You Y still dare to curse! I'll roast you at noon! And you'll have to roast your brother too! Hong Tao was very relieved to pull the hook out of its mouth with needle-nose pliers, and then threw it into the bucket, carrying the bucket and holding the fishing rod back to the original place.

To say that the teeth of this fish are really powerful, the spear hook with the thickness of a toothpick has been covered with scratches, and there are also a few jumping wires on the PE line, it seems that there must have been more than one fish chasing this sequin, but a group, only this unlucky guy was the first to bite the hook. Fortunately, Hong Tao replaced the anti-bite PE line in time, otherwise this sequins would definitely not be able to be saved. However, according to this situation, after a few times of fishing, the PE line is not very safe, and it must be replaced with an anti-bite line with a steel wire.

With the experience of the first one, Hong Tao will be much easier to catch these piranhas, this thing is a group of groups, there is no need to throw it far away, as long as there is a fish biting the hook, the next time it will be thrown in the same position, there will be another fish on the hook immediately, the frequency is very fast, if the action is sharp, 1 minute is not a problem.

If the fish is too smart, the difficulty of fishing is too great, and the angler has lost interest; But if the fish are too stupid. There is a hook, and the angler is also not interested, and this has become a worker on the assembly line, throwing, receiving, and picking fish; throwing, collecting, and picking fish; With just these three actions, where is the fun after a long time?

After Hong Tao dropped more than 20 of them, he no longer lowered the rod, but walked to the other side with the fishing rod to see the fat man's harvest. At this time, the fat cloth and the sturgeon were still searching on the surface and at the bottom of the water, and they used minows and other lures, which were large, and seemed to be running for the big fish. It's a pity that it's been almost an hour since I threw it, and there was no reaction at all.

"Lao Hong, how are you over there? I see you're changing lines and carrying buckets, what kind of fish are you on? When the fat man saw Hong Tao coming over, he also put the fishing rod aside, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself and Hong Tao.

"Piranhas, they are not big, they bite when they take the bait. I'm tired of fishing, how are you doing here? Hong Tao also put down the fishing rod and sat on a chair on the side.

"Hey, don't mention it. I can only fish on the surface of the water, and there are too many obstacles at the bottom of the water, so I will hook up when I go down, and I will lose 3 minnows at this time. And there's no movement on the surface of the water, so it doesn't look like a fish. Fat Bu began to question, according to the Amazon basin of more than 2,000 species of fish. Why do you have to have a bite, why don't you show your face.

"I guess it's because our fishing method is wrong, or it's in the wrong location, except for those piranhas, there's probably nothing serious around here, you guys will have fun with sequins, and when Anaya comes back, let's ask him." Hong Tao also has no tricks, the water is foreign water, the fish is foreign fish, the difference is too big, ordinary fishing experience is basically useless.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, Anaya came back in his wooden boat, with two small speedboats with motors in tow, presumably for Hong Tao and them.

"There are no fish here, don't worry, the rain will stop after lunch, then I will take you to other places to look for fish, if you want to have a good time, don't catch these white Bilayani, they eat very ordinary, you change to a smaller hook, hang on the ground beef, and catch more sardinia as baitfish." Anaya saw the fat man cloth and the sturgeon dragging the piranha up one by one, and knew that Hong Tao had itchy hands and couldn't get out because of the rain, so he gave them an idea that was both enjoyable and useful.

"What is Sardinia? Do you have to fish with ground beef? As soon as Hong Tao heard that there were new fish species to catch, the spirit head also came.

"It's just a small fish, it's only so big, there's a lot of food in the river here, and most of the fish you catch with bait won't eat it, so it's easier to use that kind of small fish as bait." Anaya held out her thumb and middle finger and gestured to the size of the fish.

"No problem, Lao Bu! Change the hook, go to the kitchen and order ground beef, let's fish that sardinia! Hong Tao thought that Anaya had a good idea, and hurriedly beckoned Fat Man Bu and the sturgeon to change their hooks and bait.

When the first sardinian was caught, Hong Tao finally saw its true face. This kind of fish doesn't seem to exist in China, it looks a bit like a sardine in the sea, the largest is a bundle long, covered with fine scales, just like the white stripes in our country, it also appears in groups, and when it sees food, it rushes up, regardless of safety or insecurity.

By the time lunch was ready, Hong Tao and his team had already fished hundreds of sardinias, all of which were kept in two large barrels, which was estimated to be enough.

At noon, due to Hong Tao's efforts, another dish was added, that is, those piranhas, in fact, Hong Tao felt that the grilled piranha tasted good, not as unbearable as Anaya said, it was estimated that they had eaten too much and were tired of eating.

Before lunch was finished, the rain outside stopped, and in a dozen minutes, the sun came out, and if it weren't for the fact that the pontoons and leaves were still wet, it was hard to believe that it was still raining ten minutes ago. Hong Tao didn't ask Anaya how to judge when the rain would fall and when it would stop, these things can only be felt slowly if they have lived here for a long time, there are no tricks or rules, it is completely the instinct of the body, and it is difficult to even understand it, let alone spread it.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Anaya beckoned Hong Tao and the three of them to get on the boat, and he personally drove the boat to the upper reaches of the Heihe River. There are two important points to fishing in the Amazon Basin, the first is to find a way to avoid those piranhas, which can survive almost anywhere there is water, and they even eat their own kind, so as long as they are there, your bait will not be saved.

The second is the problem of bait, Anaya said that his fishing rods are left by the tourists he has fished here over the years, and some of those tourists have used the lure way to fish, but the effect is not very good, so the best bait is still small live fish, unless you want to catch vegetarian fish like Tampaqui.

The reason for this may be that the water of the Amazon River, including the Black River, is too turbid, and no matter how beautiful and realistic the action of the bait is after entering the water, it is useless if the fish in the water cannot see it. In addition, in order to adapt to this living environment, the fish here are probably no longer using their vision to find food, and the sense of smell is the main means.

After the speedboat drove for more than 20 minutes, Hong Tao had already fainted. The Black River looks like a wide river, but it's just a disguise on its surface. Under the operation of Anaya, the speedboat would burrow into the woods on the shore at one time, and then pass through a patch of reeds, anyway, there were waterways everywhere, and the whole thing was a water network. I often see that I immediately hit the trunk of a tree in front of me, but when I turn around, the water suddenly opens up again.

And the woods that grow on the shore are really rainforests, their trunks are all soaked in water, but they are still so lush, Anaya said that most of them belong to palm trees, there are star palmetto, spotted palm, etc., these trees are not afraid of blisters, in the rainy season, they will be submerged in the flood except for the canopy, but after a few months, when the flood falls, they will still grow leaves, just like now.

Driving in these waterways with huge canopies, the river surface of more than ten meters wide is often covered by the leaves on it, like a boulevard, although it is now the scorching sun, but everyone does not feel too sunny, and the light wind brought by the speed of the speedboat blows away the moisture, but it is very comfortable.

Along the way, Hong Tao and the sturgeon took turns carrying the camera left and right, and there was so much to see, such as the flocks of butterflies flying by the water's edge, the birds that landed on the canopy of the trees or flying overhead, and the monkeys standing on the trunks of the trees staring curiously at the speedboat......

"You can catch some of these butterflies and bring them back to Manaus, where there are black market merchants who specialize in buying them, and if you are lucky, maybe a butterfly can sell for thousands of dollars, but you must know that the butterfly is a precious species, and that butterfly is an ordinary species." As she drove the boat, Anaya pointed to a group of big black butterflies and Hong Tao on the shore and said that those butterflies were really big, and if you didn't look closely, you would think that they were a group of bats flying low at a low altitude.

"Do you know butterflies? What about you? When Hong Tao heard that it could be sold for thousands of dollars, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hurriedly turned his head and asked Fat Man Bu and Sturgeon, but the answer he got was a shake of his head and a blank expression.

"Alas! There was once an opportunity to make a fortune in front of you, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it! Hong Tao himself didn't know much about butterflies, he only knew that the thing was changed from a caterpillar, as for which color was precious, he thought it should be as big as possible, okay?

After a few more waterways, the river in front of it suddenly became wider, and the current was very, very slow, like a big lake. At this time, Anaya turned off the engine, threw Hong Tao an oar, and the two of them, one left and one right, rowed the speedboat to the bushes on the side.

"Okay, let's try it here, this is a place where the nearby Indian tribes like to fish, be sure to use thick rods, fishing lines and big hooks, there are a lot of Surubins here." Anaya tethered the boat to the trunk of a small tree sticking out, then pointed to the water and said to the waves. (To be continued......)
