The meal lasted for three hours. During the meal, Master Yang, under the watchful eye of Old Man Fu, ate less and talked more. He basically said everything Hong Tao asked and what he didn't ask. In the end, he really had nothing to say.
, and managed to eat a few bites. In addition, Master Yang also promised Hong Tao to register for him next week. On next Thursday, there will be a "Community Cup Fishing Competition" held in Changping. This competition
The level is relatively low, Master Yang means to let Hong Tao go there first to familiarize himself with the environment and adapt to the competition atmosphere.
After sending Old Man Fu and Master Yang away with great gratitude, Hong Tao and the others returned to the fishing tackle shop. After listening to what people in the circle had just said, Hong Tao finally had some general understanding of this competitive fishing, but if he wanted to fully understand it,
If you don’t understand, then you have to get involved on your own and explore slowly. It’s useless to just listen to what others say.
Since he is going to compete next Thursday, which is less than 5 days away, Hong Tao still has a lot of things to prepare. Since he is going to compete, he must look like he is competing. First of all, the equipment needs to be improved.
It turns out that Hong Tao always fished for fun on the shore of Houhai, and the fishing tackle left by his father were all amateur-level, so Hong Tao basically had to buy a new set of fishing gear.
However, Wang Jian was stopped by Hong Tao's idea. He believed that the main purpose of participating in the first competition was to test whether Hong Tao's bait was suitable for use in competitive fishing breeding ponds, so there was no need to spend thousands of dollars on it.
If you want to buy a new set of fishing tackle for 1 yuan, you can just make do with what he has.
When Wang Jian first bought this set of fishing tackle, he bought it from a big factory. At that time, he didn’t know much about fishing, so he followed the introduction of the owner of the fishing tackle store and bought it according to the requirements of competitive fishing. Therefore, his set of fishing tackle is fully
Completely able to cope with fishing competitions.
When Hong Tao heard this, he was right. Although buying a set of fishing gear is not too expensive as long as you don't burn the bag, thousands of dollars are not something that can be blown by strong winds. If you can save it, just save it, just in case your bait is in the breeding pond.
If it doesn't apply and you can't get good results, then wouldn't it be a loss?
In addition to fishing gear, Hong Tao also has to work hard to practice his basic skills, because next Thursday's competition will determine the score based on the number of fish caught. According to Master Yang, there are mostly 1 or 2 small crucian carp in that pond.
, the density is very high. If you want to get good results, you must become more proficient in throwing the rod, baiting, and picking fish. Don't let these small details affect your ranking when the time comes.
Hong Tao is quite proficient in basic technical movements such as rod throwing, baiting, fish control, and fish picking. After all, he fished for more than ten years in his previous life. However, according to the standards of competitive fishing, these skills of Hong Tao are
His actions are not yet up to standard. An ordinary competitive fisherman can catch 200 small crucian carp per hour, and a competitive fishing expert can catch more than 300 small crucian carp per hour. Even
Some people can reach 400 tail.
Calculating at this speed, there will be 5 fish per minute, and you have to throw the rod, the hook and bait sink into the water, the fish float stands up, if there are fish eating the bait, the fish float moves, lift the rod back to the fish, and pull the fish
The time required for the series of actions of putting it into the fish guard is very tight, but any delay or pause will affect the speed.
However, Hong Tao still has ways to improve the speed of certain aspects of the process, such as the time between the sinking of the bait and the erection of the fish float. The water depth of most breeding ponds is between 1.5 and 2 meters, and the bait and
When the fishhook is lowered to the bottom of the pond, it takes almost 5 seconds to wait for the fish float to stand up.
In the previous life, when fishing became more and more developed, many competitive fishing players tried to save their time in this aspect, so some people tried a floating fishing method, the term is "fishing for water skin", that is,
Instead of letting the fishhook fall to the bottom of the pond, the distance between the fishhook and the fish float is adjusted to be very short, so that the fishhook is suspended dozens of centimeters below the water surface. The term is called "fishing float".
This saves several seconds, but it also has a big trouble, that is, crucian carp is generally a bottom-dwelling fish, although artificially bred crucian carp also returns to the middle and upper layers of the water to look for food.
Bait, but their nature still likes to go to the middle and lower layers of the water, so how to ensure that the fish at the bottom are attracted to the surface is a difficult problem.
However, Hong Tao can just solve this problem. He has special-effect bait. If it can work on artificially cultured fish in breeding ponds, then it will not be a problem to lure them to the middle and upper layers of the water to eat bait. In this way, Hong Tao's speed will increase.
Speed up some.
In addition to this link, Hong Tao can also gain an advantage in the double hook link. Since he is using two hooks and both hooks are baited, why not wait until both hooks are fished before lifting the rod?
, in this way, with the same lift of the rod once, the number of fish caught will be doubled, which will be of great help in increasing the speed.
However, the technical difficulty of fishing for double tails is relatively high. The fisherman must clearly let the first movement of the fish float past, and then quickly detect the second movement of the fish float, so that he can catch the double tail. If
The time between the second action and the first action is slightly longer. The first fish that eats the bait has spit out the hook from its mouth. If you lift the rod again, it may be a fish or an empty hook.
However, this problem does not trouble Hong Tao. As long as his special-effect bait works in this pond, he can guarantee that the double hook will be eaten by the fish in the water, so the chance of double tail fishing should be very high.
, so in the final analysis, the most important thing about fishing is bait, and other aspects are auxiliary. No matter how good your skills are and how proficient your techniques are, if the fish does not bite the hook, you will still not be able to catch it.
Finally, Hong Tao also has a homemade secret weapon, which is a homemade hook remover. When a fisherman catches a fish, no matter the size of the fish, if you reach out to catch it and then remove the hook, the speed will be relatively slow.
It is also easy for the fish to fall off the hook and fall into the pond, because the hooks for competitive fishing have no barbs, so the fish can easily break free.
In order to solve this problem, fishing gear manufacturers installed a steel needle as thick as a toothpick on the ring mouth of the fish guard. When a fish takes the bait, just bring the fish back, and then use the fishing line to pull against the steel needle. The steel needle
It will push along the fishing line to the fish's mouth, and then push the fish off the hook and drop it into the fish guard, so that the speed of picking fish can be accelerated.
But this steel needle is sometimes not very easy to use, because one end of it is fixed on the ring of the fish guard, and the other end hangs in the middle of the fish guard. It has a certain length, and the steel wire is relatively thin, so when you use a little force,
When the time comes, the wire will deform, affecting the speed at which you can pick fish.
Hong Tao's solution is very simple, which is to remove this half of the steel wire, and then pull a steel wire horizontally across the fish guard's ring mouth to penetrate the entire fish guard, and then fix both sides to the ring mouth, thus dividing the fish guard's ring mouth into
There are two halves. When picking fish, you just need to pull the fishing line along the steel wire. It doesn't matter if you use more force, because both ends of the steel wire are fixed and will not deform or affect the speed of picking fish.
With these tips learned in his previous life and the addition of special effect baits, although it was the first time for Hong Tao to participate in such a formal competitive fishing competition, he was not very nervous and his confidence was quite high. However, Wang Jian and Fatty Gao were not
Why are they optimistic about Hong Tao's prospects of participating in the competition? The two of them were also present when Master Yang talked about competitive fishing one day. When they heard that there were so many rules and regulations in fishing, they all said that this thing was too labor-intensive and they couldn't play it themselves.
I advise Hong Tao not to bother himself with this, but to go fishing for fun and earn more money to spend on his own. Although it is a bit distressing, it is more reliable than getting a good ranking in this competitive fishing competition.
But Hong Tao didn't listen to their advice and insisted on going. The two of them couldn't control this. They could only use someone to help Hong Tao prepare for the game as much as possible.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Early on Thursday morning, Hong Tao came to the fishing tackle shop as usual, took inventory of Wang Jian's set of fishing gear, and then moved them to the counter and put them away, waiting for Wang Jian to drive to pick him up.
The location of this fishing competition was in Changping District. Although they knew the approximate location, Hong Tao had never been there, and neither had Wang Jian, so the two decided to start early so as not to delay the competition because of unfamiliar roads.
