In addition to bait and fishing tackle, there is another thing that can be determined, that is, the location, once you find that there are obviously more fish in a certain position than other positions, then say where is a fish easy to gather or must swim route, you had better be able to occupy that position, so anglers often joke that "the ass determines the catch", that is to say, the fishing position you choose greatly affects your harvest.

However, Hong Tao really doesn't have to be so desperate to occupy a position before dawn, because he has a special bait, the more he can have a good catch in the position where he is not fishing, then it can prove that our bait effect is outstanding. He got up at 5 o'clock, ate early, packed up the fishing gear, and rode the bicycle to set off at 10 minutes and 6 o'clock, so he was not in a hurry, and turned a corner halfway, and put the key to the fishing tackle shop in the kindergarten to see where the uncle of the gate was, so that Gao Ming could enter the door when he came early in the morning.

Wait for Hong Tao to cross the Houmen Bridge to the east bank of Jishuitan, well, this is almost Tiananmen Square, children cry and adults scream, fishing, walking, as far as the eye can see, the lake is full of people, the east bank is a little less crowded, the north bank and the south bank can no longer look directly, and the fishing rods rise and fall one after another like a grove.

Hong Tao put away his bicycle, found a spacious lake shore with no branches overhead, and began to organize his fishing tackle. This time, Hong Tao did not choose a sea rod to fish, but switched to a hand rod, there is only one reason, there are more people playing hand rods here, since it is propaganda, then it has to move closer to the side of the many.

In northern fishing, hand rods can be roughly divided into two types, one is called traditional fishing and the other is platform fishing. Traditional fishing, as the name suggests, is our traditional Chinese fishing method, this is a fishing method that Hong Tao came into contact with when he was a child, a hook, no subline, directly tied to the main line, the fish drift is the kind of plastic drift that goes straight up and down, the lead sinker is about a centimeter above the hook, and when fishing, the traditional fishing sinker is always in contact with the bottom of the water;

Taiwan fishing is a kind of crucian carp fishing method invented by the Japanese, which was later introduced to Taiwan and carried forward by Taiwanese anglers and became a new fishing method. It usually uses a double hook to form a fishing rig, and has a strand of a few centimeters or a dozen centimeters long, and then the strand is connected to the main line by a connecting ring. The biggest difference between it and traditional fishing is that its plumb sinker does not touch the bottom of the water, but is suspended underwater due to the action of the fish float, and it pays more attention to the balance of two forces, that is, the balance between the buoyancy of the float and the gravity of the fishing rig.

Theoretically speaking, the float of Taiwan fishing is more sensitive, and it can accurately conduct the action signal when the underwater fish eat bait, but it also has a big disadvantage, that is, the ability to adapt to the environment is insufficient. However, in artificial ponds in the city, table fishing is faster than traditional fishing, so table fishing is more suitable for competitions, and traditional fishing is more suitable for recreational wild fishing.

Jishuitan this artificial lake, although it is artificial, but the area is very large, and the bottom of the water has not been artificially repaired, so it is a semi-artificial and semi-natural waters, and the anglers who play hand rods here have both playing table fishing, and playing traditional fishing, although the number of table fishing is more, but in terms of results, it is really not necessarily comparable to traditional fishing.

Most of the anglers who play traditional fishing here are old anglers, their fishing rods are generally more than 10 meters, commonly known as "cannons" in Beijing, this kind of fishing rod will be erected on a steel frame, sent forward one by one, and finally the end of the rod is mounted on a rope sleeve on the steel frame, and people do not need to hold it or hold it by hand.

Because the lead sinks to the end, after the fish eats the bait, the fish float will only have two actions, one is to rise to the bait, the term is called "send the drift", which means that the bait eats the bait and raises its head up; One is to sink to the lure, the term is called "black drift", which means that the fish eat the bait and pull to the side; After discovering these two movements, you only need to press the tail of the rod down, and the tip of the rod will be lifted upwards due to the lever principle, and the fishing line and hook will be stabbed into the mouth of the fish, and the fish will be caught.

Most young and middle-aged people use the method of table fishing, in fact, it is not because the rate of Taiwan fishing is high, but because the fishing tackle manufacturers and fishing tackle shop owners recommend this fishing method, because it is a new fishing method, more fishing gear is used, and they get higher profits. On the other hand, young people prefer foreign things, the kind of big fishing rod more than ten meters long is very bulky and not good-looking, while the pole of Taiwan fishing is generally between 2.7 and 7.2 meters, because of the short length, it is relatively thin, beautiful and convenient, so Taiwan fishing is becoming more and more popular.

Taiwan fishing generally needs a fishing rod, a rod, a pair of turrets, of course, the particular fishing friends will buy a fishing box, bait tray, copy net, fish protection, fishing group box, floating bucket, rod bag, fishing vest and other items, so that the purchase of fishing tackle itself has become a fishing culture.

Most of the fishing rods of Taiwan fishing are drawn knots, that is, one section is thinner than the other, and one section is drawn out when used, just like the antenna of the old TV set in the past, the term is called "vibration out", because fishing has developed better in Japan, and most of the high-end fishing tackle is produced in Japan, so many terms have a strong Japanese flavor, and this author is also not in a rut, so let's bear with it.

There is also a kind of fishing rod that is inserted together one by one, generally 2 to 4 sections, this kind of fishing rod is relatively few, most of them are high-end goods, the term is called "succession". Compared with the two kinds of fishing rods, theoretically the following rod is more toughness and strength than the vibrating rod, which is due to the production process, and the vibrating rod is generally made very thin because the vibrating rod is to be stored together, and the following rod does not have this concern.

Hong Tao uses a Taiwan fishing method, using a Weihai brand FRP fishing rod, a length of 4.5 meters, the main line No. 2, the sub-line No. 1, and the fish drift is an ordinary drift for 1 yuan, and there is no brand. The main line refers to the line from the top of the fishing rod to the bottom of the lead seat, and the sub-line refers to the line of the hook, generally the sub-line will be thinner than the main line, so that once the fish caught is too large, or your hook hangs other sundries under the water, when you lift the rod hard, the sub-line will be disconnected first, so as not to break the main line, so as to lose the fish drift, lead seat, etc., not to break the fishing rod, play a protective role.

Pulling out the fishing rod, tying the fishing line, inserting the fish drift, and adjusting the water depth, Hong Tao began to take out a bag of bait, put it in a small basin and began to add water to stir, this kind of bait also has a term, called "open bait". After opening the bait, you need to cover it with something to wake up, mainly to let the bait fully absorb water to reach the softness and hardness it should have.

By waking up the bait, Hong Tao left his fishing position with a cigarette in his mouth, and walked to a fishing friend not far away, after the general angler arrived in place, he would look left and right, wander around, and learn about the situation of other anglers on the day by looking, asking, etc., in order to determine the fish situation of the day.

On the left is a young man of about 30, the fishing box, rod bag, fishing rod are all Japanese brands, and the body is also a special fishing sunscreen clothing printed with the "Dawa" trademark.

"Dude, what's going on today? How many fishes? Hong Tao squatted next to him and asked.

"This is the breaking of the sky, it's still so stuffy after the autumn, just got 2 small crucian carp, and it's not as big as a palm." The young man pursed his lips and replied very dissatisfied, but his eyes were staring at the fish drifting in the water for a moment.

"Did you sprinkle fish in the morning? Carp or crucian carp? Hong Tao asked again.

"200 catties of crucian carp, 300 catties of carp, a total of 500 near, just sprinkled in the north, I don't think it's even a 300 catties, their hearts are black." The young man scolded the contractor here, this is a scene that can be seen on the edge of every fish pond, the angler wants to fish more, the contractor wants you to fish less, the natural contradiction.

"You guy is good enough, this pole has to be more than 500, right?" Hong Tao patted him slightly.

"Make do with it, Dawa's new style, brought back from abroad." The young man said so disdainfully, but his expression was so proud.
