Only Pawei, Old Gale and Hong Tao knew this story, not even Zhou Xiaoli. It was too embarrassing. From then on, Hong Tao also had deep doubts about his ability to judge distances.
"Okay, we're here. I'm right, it's not freezing here." Harrison fulfilled his promise and looked very happy.
"I will definitely immigrate here after I retire. Please help me ask if the land here is for sale. I want to build a small house here and raise some sheep and cattle. I will definitely be able to live for a few more years."
Boss Liu was also fascinated by the sight. This small lake surrounded by forests is really beautiful. It is still the snowy winter. If there are green grass and wild flowers in summer and autumn, it will definitely be even more beautiful.
"Oh, this is a protected area and cannot be sold. Please help me tell Mr. Liu that if he wants to buy land and build a house, it is best to go near Austin's house. Wherever it is closer to the town, any further
It's uninhabitable." After hearing Hong Tao's question, Harrison's head shook like a drum.
"Oh, what a pity. If you can sell me a piece of land, I can help them build a road. It is said that the land here can be passed on to the next generation. My daughter and my grandson can inherit it. This will definitely be a good place in the future."
Boss Liu is worthy of being a big boss who has entered the real estate industry, and the value of land will increase with every word he speaks.
The four people walked a few hundred meters further east, found a relatively gentle bank that extended into the water, and began to prepare for fishing. Harrison took this fishing competition very seriously, and at his request, all the participants in the fishing competition
The three contestants drew lots to determine the fishing position. Pawei drew the shortest branch and got the first right to choose the fishing position. Harrison ranked second. Hong Tao's luck was very poor and he was at the bottom among the three.
Pawei chose the sharp point that is deepest into the water. It seems that this fat man is not stupid. This should be the best fishing spot. Because it is deep into the water, it is likely to become a must-pass for fish migration.
Harrison chose a big rock on the west side. It was a good place, the water level was quite deep, and there was a big rock to sit on, which was more comfortable.
Hong Tao had no choice. He only had this area to the east. Not only was it a slope, but there were also branches beside the water. It wasn't really a good fishing spot, but there was no way. Who told us to carry it?
The competition time is set from 7 to 10 o'clock. Before the start of the competition, there are more than 20 minutes to adjust the fishing gear and prepare bait. The fishing rods are basically the same, three 2-meter-4-meter lure rods. Pawei chose
After learning the method of using artificial lures, Harrison took out a small box, which contained venison cut into small pieces. Only Hong Tao tied two pairs of string hook fishing groups again, and then took out a plastic
bag and start using lake water to bait.
Since there was no prior preparation, Hong Tao didn't even have a fish float. But it didn't matter, he had a way to overcome it. He borrowed a knife from Harrison, then found a piece of dead wood and cut off a strip. He processed it at will and cut one end of it.
Sharpen it sharply, and make a shallow groove as a place to tie the fishing line. Then match the string hook with the fishing lead used by the lure, and adjust the buoyancy relationship between the lead pendant and the float to make the float half as large.
Once everything is exposed on the water, the preparations are OK.
Boss Liu has been following Hong Tao, silently watching his every move. He was especially interested in the bait in Hong Tao's plastic bag. He even took out his mobile phone and wrote down the address and phone number on the bait bag.
Come down.
With Boss Liu's three claps, the Ticket Cup Fishing Competition officially began. Harrison and Pavey threw their baits far away, and then controlled the reel to wind up the line slowly or quickly;
Hong Tao only pinched a small ball of bait on each of the three hooks on the string hook and gently threw it a few meters away. Then he used his fingers to rub the bait in the small bucket into the size of soybean pellets. After 2 minutes, he put it on the float.
Throw a few at the position.
Harrison was the first to catch fish. Not to mention that his venison was quite useful. He dragged a small fish with spots all over its body onto the shore. However, after unhooking it, the fish was thrown back.
When it entered the lake, its size was a bit small. Not only did it not meet Harrison's needs, it was probably not even the size required by federal law.
"Hey, Fatty, you've already bought this ticket. If you give up now, I can treat you to a bottle of yesterday's wine." Harrison was the first to catch the fish, and he immediately became confident. He looked at Hong Tao.
The strange fishing method here made no comment, and then pointed the gun at Pawei.
"..." Pawei didn't say anything, but waved his right hand like he was swatting flies.
Soon, Harrison's second fish landed. Just like the previous one, it was still a spotted pike, and the size was still so substandard.
"Hong Tao, the fish here seem to be different from those over there. Why are they all these fish? Is it possible to fish with flour bait?" Boss Liu couldn't sit still. Although he was the referee, he still wanted Hong Tao to win the game.
.
"Well, there are a lot of ferocious fish here, including carp. Don't worry, it's only been 15 minutes. The first fat is not fat, and then the fat will collapse." Hong Tao is quite confident. He has already fished in Lake Simcoe.
This time, it also proved that his bait can attract the fish here. As long as the bait works, Hong Tao is not worried at all.
The third fish was caught by Pawei. It was a sauger, which translates as Canadian zander. It looks a bit like our black fish, but it has yellow and black patterns on its body. The most distinctive thing is their eyes, which look like
Wearing a pair of contact lenses, they are light blue and somewhat reflective. It is said that this is a very special structure that allows them to have excellent night vision.
The weight of this fish was about 1 kilogram. Pawei decided to count it as one of his five achievement fishes, so the poor little fish was thrown into the snow nearby. Soon it would be
Frozen into a popsicle.
"I've said it before, Harrison, I'm a navy, you're a poor army, hunting is your strength, fishing is a bit too difficult for you!" After catching the fish, Pawei took out one from his arms.
The cigar, held in his mouth but not lit, began to fire back at Harrison.
Harrison's behavior was very unmanly. He couldn't reply to Pawei's words, and actually brought the flames of war to Hong Tao:
"I caught at least two fish, Tao didn't catch any, and I think he probably won't be able to catch the fish. No fish is so stupid as to swim to the shore."
When Pawei heard this, he turned to look at Hong Tao, then without saying anything, he threw the bait into the lake far away.
"Brother Liu, didn't we talk about fishing techniques and bait yesterday? Do you think our fishing methods in China are suitable here?" Hong Tao ignored the two old children and let them fight each other. He would be dumbfounded after a while.
.
"It's a bit difficult to find fish like this. The water here is too clear. If you use a hand pole, you may get choked. You can see through several meters deep at a glance. Big fish usually don't come so close to the shore," said Boss Liu.
In response to Hong Tao's question, he reminded Hong Tao in disguise that it seemed that Boss Liu was not optimistic about Hong Tao's fishing method either.
"This is a unique trick. My bait has been specially prepared and can be used by all sizes, both at home and abroad. Don't believe it, you will know in a moment." Hong Tao saw Boss Liu curling his lips and knew he didn't believe it.
"Sure, if you are so sure, I will give you another shot. If you win, we will come here to hunt next year. I will pay for the air tickets. If you lose, I won't need your help to buy the air tickets. After returning home,
You must take me to fish for a second time, how about that!" Boss Liu's gambling temperament has also come up. To him, the air ticket money is the same as a pack of cigarettes. He doesn't feel bad if he loses, but even better if he wins.
"Hey, this is what you said, don't go back on it!" Upon hearing this, Hong Tao said, hey, there are still people rushing to give him money. If I had known this, why not call everyone here and start a big gambling game, maybe I
You can save money on fishing next year.
"Are you, Brother Liu, that kind of person? Come on, don't let foreigners win for you. This will spread back to the country. You, the champion, are a bit embarrassed."
"You are the only Chinese here. As long as you don't say anything, how can it be spread back to China!" Hong Tao didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
