When he woke up the next morning, his whole body was sore, but Li Xiaofeng still persevered.

At breakfast, Li Yonglin said to him: "Feng cub, the gillnets that were entangled together yesterday have not been cleaned up, and we will not go to sea during the day today!" I heard your third uncle say that several families in the village have caught a lot of eels recently, and we will also go eel fishing tonight! ”

Eel fishing is actually the use of deep water hooks to catch eels.

As for why you go eel fishing at night, the main reason is that eels are nocturnal, almost motionless during the day, hiding in the sand or under obstacles, and at night and especially in the evening, they are very active swimming around foraging!

So the best time to fish for eels is between late afternoon and early morning!

The best place to visit is at the mouth of a river not far from the coast, or near a dam, where eels like to live.

It's also the best time to fish for eels, and when the weather turns cold in November, the eels start migrating to the depths of the sea!

"Okay, Dad!" Li Xiaofeng readily agreed!

After breakfast, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin were at home, untying the two fishing nets that were entangled yesterday.

Li Xiaofeng lay on the recliner and took out his mobile phone, he was going to add a larger water tank and aeration equipment to his home!

Now there are a lot more fish caught at home than before. Going to sea is limited by many conditions, and it is not so timely to come back every time and sell it in the town, so now you need to add such a set of equipment at home!

When he had dinner yesterday, he had already talked to Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia.

After placing the order, he lay on the recliner in a daze, and fell asleep unconsciously!

Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin, who were talking, saw their son who was asleep, and couldn't help lowering their voices, their son was really tired yesterday!

At noon, it wasn't until it was time to eat that Li Xiaofeng was woken up, and the meal was ready at this time!

After eating, Li Xiaofeng accompanied his parents to untie the fishing nets together and chatted with each other.

In the afternoon, Li Yonglin went to a fisherman's house in the village and bought some mullet, ready to be used as bait for today's eel fishing!

After eating dinner early, before the sun set, Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin took their tools and prepared to set off.

Today, you don't have to go too far, just sail to the mouth of the Baishui River, the confluence of freshwater and seawater, which is also the favorite living area of the eel!

The two of them also specially added a lantern strip on the boat today as a sign for the evening.

The sea is dark at night, and if you don't mark yourself, it is easy to cause a collision accident!

After less than half an hour of driving, the boat came to the sea area where the eels were ready to be fished.

Li Xiaofeng found a relatively less crowded eel gathering area on the map. Then Li Xiaofeng was in charge of driving the boat, and Li Yonglin was in charge of hanging bait and releasing eel fishing!

The two of them brought a total of 4 baskets of eels to fish today, and when they all went down to the sea, the two of them were on the boat!

Eel fishing is usually two hours after going down to the water, and you can start harvesting!

When the time came, the two men put on their headlamps and began to put away the eel fishing.

As the rope continued to shrink, the first hook out of the water gave them a surprise, and a white eel almost 2 meters long was hung on the hook, at least more than 2 catties!

Li Xiaofeng quickly lifted it up from the sea and landed in the cabin.

The ferocious eel struggles incessantly in the cabin, its open mouth revealing a mouth full of fangs! If you get a bite from it, it's terrible!

The eel is a very ferocious fish.

After it didn't struggle much, Li Xiaofeng put his arm around its neck and picked it up. Good guy, this is longer than Li Xiaofeng's height!

Dropped it into the boat's living water tank and cut the fishing line with scissors!

Then start pulling up!

It's another white eel, but this white eel is much smaller than the first day, but the ferocity is not reduced at all, with a pointed mouth and a mouth full of fangs, struggling desperately in the air!

After throwing it into the living water tank and cutting the fishing line, Li Xiaofeng began to pull up the main rope again!

The third hook is empty, and the bait is still hanging on it!

Continuing to pull up, the fourth hook has not yet surfaced, Li Xiaofeng can already feel that there is movement under the water, it must be loaded again!

As the hook surfaced, there was an eel hanging from the hook, but it wasn't a white eel, it was a red eel!

The eel twists into a twisted ball on the hook, which is also one of the differences between red and white eels.

After the white eel is hooked, it generally struggles violently only when it comes out of the water, while the flaming eel begins to struggle after it is hooked, so it is easier for the flaming eel to get out of the hook.

After putting the red eel in the fish barn, Li Xiaofeng continued to pull up. Now, a shiny silver guy was pulled up.

"Stainless steel!" Li Xiaofeng said casually.

The stainless steel that Li Xiaofeng said is the common hairtail fish!

Because when it first came out of the water, it was shiny silver, like brand new stainless steel, so some old fishermen called it stainless steel.

……

And just like that, a set of eel fishing is over!

The harvest was very good, a group of eels caught more than 250 hooks, and caught nearly 40 eels and stainless steel, which is far beyond the average fisherman!

After the first group was harvested, the two people drove the boat to the fishing spot of the second group of eel fishing, this time Li Yonglin came to collect it, and Li Xiaofeng was responsible for driving the boat.

The harvest of the second group was also good, in addition to catching more than 30 large and small eels, several octopuses and a cattooth shark of more than 2 catties were also caught!

Then I have to start collecting the third group, and this time I will change Li Xiaofeng to collect it!

Because the rope and line of eel fishing are thin and slippery, it is quite laborious to pull up, Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin are two people to pull it alternately!

The first hook is empty, and if you continue to pull, it will be empty again.

In this way, the more than 20 hooks that Li Xiaofeng pulled up in a row were empty, and after Li Yonglin next to him saw it, he said to him with a smile: "Your luck is not good today!"

Li Xiaofeng himself felt speechless, although he knew that there would be gains in the future, but more than 20 hooks in a row were still a little depressing.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to start fishing.

This is a leopard eel about 4 pounds! The eel is not very long, only about 1.3 meters, but it is very thick! It's like a big python!

The leopard eel is also very ferocious, and when it is pulled up, it writhes, opens its mouth full of fangs, and bites Li Xiaofeng!

Fortunately, after Li Xiaofeng saw it, he was also on guard, quickly avoided it, and threw it into the cabin.

Then he took it by the tail and threw it into the living water tank, and then cut the fishing line!

Then go forward!

This group of eels eventually caught more than two dozen eels and two small dog sharks.
