"I think this thing is reliable, don't say it, let you say this, I'm a little moved, if I don't count me, what should I do when I put a dog there, it's a lot of time." After listening to Hong Tao's plan, Wang Jian's first reaction was to join in the fun.

"Your bait may not be easy to use in the game, none of us have tried this, and we are not familiar with the rules of the game, so we will not be busy in the future, if you really want to do this, you brother I support, but this first step is to be familiar with these games." Gao Fatzi looked at the problem very pragmatically, he was not attracted by the prospect of fishing the whole country or even the whole world in the future, but directly pointed out Hong Tao's current shortcomings.

"Yes, I'm not very familiar with this business competition, this is not to ask you if you know anyone in this area, find a reliable one to tell us. When we finish listening, we will know whether my plan can be implemented in the end. Hong Tao felt that what Gao Fat Man said was very reasonable.

"But we don't know anyone in this area......" Gao Fat Man and Wang Jian looked at each other and shook their heads together.

At present, in China's fishing industry, it is roughly divided into two categories, one is recreational fishing, they regard fishing as a hobby, just like we go to play badminton, basketball, and mahjong after work, purely for fun; The other type is competitive fishing, you look at this word, all competitive, that is the competition, there must be a win or lose, so this part of the fishing friends are mostly concentrated in various commercial fish pits, usually use fish pits similar to the competition fish pond to hone their skills, and then keen to participate in various competitions, compete for rankings.

Although these two types of anglers are fishing, but the habits are not the same, the pursuit is even more different, and the places they usually play are not the same, so there is not much intersection between each other, although there are also fishing friends who like both recreational fishing and participate in competitive fishing, but the number is very small.

Most of the fishing friends that Hong Tao came into contact with were playing recreational fishing, so he wanted to find someone who was familiar with competitive fishing to understand the situation, and he really didn't know who to start with.

"Hey, the three of us can't figure it out if we want to die here, why don't we ask the people who often come to your store to chat, they may be able to meet one or two people who play sports." Or the tall fat man has a flexible head and comes up with a solution.

When Hong Tao told the fishing friends who often come to the store to chat about the news that he wanted to try competitive fishing and needed to find a fishing friend who was familiar with the competitive fishing circle, he really didn't want to say that there were many people and a large amount of people, and a fishing friend called the next day and told Hong Tao that there was a competitive fishing player in their unit, and the skills were okay, I dare not say that it was famous in the country, and it was also a little famous in the competitive fishing circle in Beijing.

When Hong Tao heard the news, his heart was immediately reassured, because the fishing friend who called was none other than the retired veteran cadre of the Ministry of Health, Old Man Fu. When Hong Tao begged Old Man Fu if he could recommend the master of their unit, Old Man Fu agreed, and made a package ticket, there was no problem, see you in the fishing tackle shop on Saturday.

The person brought by the old man Fu is surnamed Yang, who is in his 30s, and he calls "Fu Lao" one by one, and at first glance, he is a person in the system. Fu Lao probably explained it to him before he came, so as soon as he arrived at the fishing tackle shop, he called Hong Tao over and gave a brief introduction to the two of them, and then ran to a bunch of fishing friends who were chatting hotly.

"Brother Yang, you see that this big weekend is still bothering you to run in person, do you want to drink tea or drinks." Hong Tao let this master into the back room, and first said politely.

"Xiao Hong, you're welcome, Fu Lao is my old superior, and Fu Lao taught him how to fish back then, and I have long heard Fu Lao say that your bait here is a must, so I just came to see it today." Master Yang never left Fu Lao in front of Hong Tao, it seems that after Fu Lao Man retired, his connections were not all lost, and he still had a high amount of residual heat to play.

"Kodaka, come in with a bottle of cold Coke." Hong Tao shouted outside the house, then handed over a cigarette to help light the fire.

"Brother Yang, I don't have anything to do, I want to participate in the fishing competition, but this rule is not very clear, so I want to ask you about the situation here, I heard that you are a master, you have to tell me in detail." Hong Tao put him on the shelf first, so as not to let the other party slip his head and just pick out things that are not important.

"Hey, it's all playing, what master is not a master, don't listen to that, you want to participate in the competition, this is easy, there will be one next week on 3, in Changping, when the time comes, I'll take you there." Master Yang avoided the important and light, and only agreed to take Hong Tao with him, who knows if he really brought it or forgot it when he fell?

"By the way, it just so happens that my other brother is also coming over today, he and you are in the same unit, and it's time for dinner, let's go, Brother Yang, let's have lunch first, and talk while eating." Hong Tao didn't want to find someone to take to the competition, he could go if he signed up for this thing, it didn't matter if he brought it or not, what he wanted to know was the rules and the details in this circle.

Hong Tao didn't wait for this Yang master to speak, so he came directly to the outhouse, first dragged the old man Fu, then pulled the tall fat man, and then called Wang Jian, a group of 5 people, to kill the barbecue season. Seeing that Old Man Fu and Hong Tao were so familiar, that Master Yang didn't shirk anything.

At the dinner table, after everyone raised their glasses and drank a circle, at the request of the old man Fu, this Yang master couldn't refuse, so he slowly explained the general rules of competitive fishing and some precautions in the circle in detail.

If you want to say that this competitive fishing, it has been introduced to China for a few years, and it has basically flowed in with Taiwan fishing. Competitive fishing is generally carried out in a flat-bottomed artificial pond, which is divided into crucian carp and polyculture according to the fish species, and polyculture means that there are three kinds of fish in the pond: crucian carp, carp and grass carp. According to the winning method, there are two kinds of calculation of tail number and calculation of weight, that is, to see who catches the most fish and who catches the weight of the fish is high.

The rod used for competitive fishing is generally 3.6 meters long, and the total length of the line and subline must not exceed 3.9 meters, and a 4.5 meter rod can also be used, and the length of the line cannot exceed 30 cm. In addition to restrictions on rod size and line length, competitive fishing also regulates the use of barbless hooks and the number of hooks must not exceed 2.

In terms of bait, competitive fishing is relatively relaxed, except that bait, insects, grasses, and toxic and environmentally damaging bait are not allowed, and you can use commercial bait or homemade bait. However, Yang master also said an exception, that is, some competitions are sponsored by merchants, so it is necessary to use the bait designated by the merchants, in this kind of competition, the organizer will generally open the bait uniformly, and then give some bait to each angler, and it is not allowed to bring their own bait, this way is called "public bait", but in those national competitions, this "public bait" method is rarely used.

This is good news for Hong Tao, if he is not allowed to use his own bait, then Hong Tao will not have to go to the competition, for a angler like him who has only been exposed to a few fishing competitions, it is also a free entry fee.

As for other aspects, there are many regulations for competitive fishing, such as hooking and drifting are not allowed to enter the water before the whistle of the competition, the rod must be punctuated directly in front of the rod when throwing, and the fish that enters the house after the whistle is not counted as a result, etc., these must be practiced several times on the spot to slowly understand.

There is another problem that Hong Tao is very concerned about, that is, how to calculate the results of the competition. Competitive fishing has a very special method of calculating the results of a competition, which determines who wins by the lowest score in a match, and the lowest is 1 point. For example, the angler who ranks first in the number or weight of fish caught will receive 1 point; 2nd place gets 2 points; 3rd place gets 3 points, and so on.

The national tournaments are organized by the China Fishing Association, and the number is small, probably only a few per year. More competitions are local competitions organized by local provincial and municipal fishing associations. With the exception of those points competitions that require competitive angler qualifications, you can enter any other tournament.
