Hong Tao likes to throw the rod because he doesn't have to sit in the sun and stare at the float. He just needs to make the bait ball, wrap it on the hook set, and throw it into the selected water area. As for the rod, he doesn't have to watch it.
Whether the tip moves, fishermen invented an automatic alarm. It is actually a small bell hung on a clip, and the clip is clamped on the tip of the pole. Once there is movement, the bell will ring. At this time, you run over and lift the pole.
That's OK.
Hong Tao's bait uses a kind of feed pellet used for raising fish, which is softened by water and turned into powder. Then two kinds of purchased commercial bait are added to make the taste of the bait more acceptable to the fish. The bait is enough.
After arranging it, you need to let the bait ball rest for a while just like making pasta at home, so that the bait can fully absorb the water and be moderately soft and hard. Then you can use your hands to shape the bait ball into a ping pong ball-sized ball, and then put the 6 fishing hooks into the bait ball.
Pinch the group into it, hang it on the fishing line, throw it into the selected water area with a throwing rod, tighten the fishing line slightly, and make the tip of the rod slightly bent. Even if the fishing preparations are completed, the fish is waiting for you below.
I went to eat the bait.
Generally, you need to prepare a rod stand when fishing. Its function is to support the fishing rod so that the front of the pole is at an angle with the ground, which can increase the sensitivity of the tip of the rod. However, you don’t need that rod stand when fishing here in Houhai.
, there are iron fences on the shore here. Put the pole diagonally on the iron fence and it will become a pole stand.
There is also the most basic basic skill of rod throwing, which is tossing. Tossing the rod means throwing the bait into the selected water area. Generally, the selected water area is only a few square meters.
The size ranges from 2 to 30 meters as close as possible to hundreds of meters as far away from the shore. If you throw it incorrectly, the bait from several poles will be randomly distributed in a large area of water, and the effect of luring fish to eat will be less effective.
However, Hong Tao has mastered this basic skill. He placed a mineral water bottle in the water 50 meters away. Hong Tao used a throwing rod to throw the bait ball over. I dare not say that he hit the target with almost 100% accuracy, but it all landed in the mineral water bottle.
Within one square meter, there is nothing special about this technology. In one sentence: it only depends on what you are familiar with.
Hong Tao used a total of 4 throwing poles. This is also one aspect where throwing poles are superior to hand poles. Since hand poles have to keep an eye on the changes in the float, one person can play with at most 2 poles at the same time. Generally, one person can play with one pole at a time.
A hand pole. But pole throwing is different. All you need to do is listen to the ringing of the bell with your ears. So in theory, one person can play with countless poles. As long as you are not afraid of getting tired, just throw it. It doesn’t matter how much you throw.
.
After throwing the pole and washing the bait on his hand, Hong Tao sat on the pony, facing the lake sideways, and started one of his favorite activities, looking at thighs!
Summer in Beijing is very hot, with temperatures often above 38 degrees. Especially in the dog days of summer, the air pressure is very low, and you always feel sticky and uncomfortable. But living on the shore of Houhai has such an advantage. In the evening, the lake surface
There will be a small cool breeze blowing from above, which feels much better than having the air conditioner blowing at home.
Therefore, many nearby residents will come to the beach for a walk to digest food and enjoy the coolness after dinner. At this time, the eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law will dress more casually and coolly. If you meet someone with beautiful lines, you can stare at them for a long time.
Forget about the heat, and if there are swimmers nearby, even if you can't see the three-point bikini or anything, you can still enjoy it.
Of course, this is just a little extra benefit while waiting for the fish to bite the hook, but Hong Tao was not very lucky today, his neck was twisted, and he couldn't find even one beautiful woman among the women passing by.
Overdoing it and leaning his head on the railing, Hong Tao planned to take a break from his thigh-gazing career and take a cigarette to rest.
"Well, you're still traveling with me!" Hong Tao, who was taking out a cigarette from his pocket, was suddenly startled, and then took out something from his shorts pocket. That thing was none other than the big tail he caught in his previous life.
The scales left by the fish to him, whether due to time travel, the original golden brilliance on the scales had disappeared, and now they looked like a round piece of jade or plastic material about half the size of a palm.
Seeing this thing, Hong Tao was even more sure that he had traveled through time. The scene of catching a big fish was still vivid in his mind. Unfortunately, he had been reborn after decades. He didn't know how his wife was now, or whether his aunt would still be alive.
I will not introduce myself to a girlfriend and meet my future wife.
"Hua Leng Leng... Hua Leng Leng..." A sound of bells called Hong Tao back from his thoughts, but he did not get up to lift the pole, because judging from the sound, the ring was not his pole, but the right one.
Another fisherman a few dozen meters away, a man in his 40s, was holding a pole and swinging it wildly. Judging from the curvature of the pole and the strength of his wheel, the fish should not be big, but this also attracted a large group of walkers.
People were watching the excitement near the railing. When they saw someone watching them, the middle-aged man catching the fish was so beautiful that he shook his head.
"Oh... not as big as the soles of shoes, so beautiful." Hong Tao muttered with envy and hatred, turned to look at his fishing rods, their posture was so damn stable, they didn't move at all, as if they had already
Integrated with iron railings.
After waiting for another 20 minutes, there was still no movement from the fishing rod. During this period, a fisherman to the left of Hong Tao also caught a fish. All in all, Hong Tao did not catch a fish. This is really intolerable. We can be inferior to others in knowledge, but not in work.
You can be inferior to others, but you must not fail here when it comes to fishing. After all, I have caught a 50-pound fish, and I can’t beat you guys!
The most unpromising thing about a fisherman is that you don't want others to catch fish, especially the people around you. If you say that you are just like throwing a hook into your own water tank, it won't move at all. Otherwise, none of us will move.
Well, the most irritating thing is that you can't catch any fish, and the people next to you are fishing one after another, and then there are so many idle people standing nearby talking like this, that feeling makes you kick that person into the water.
All.
"It seems that the flavor of the bait is wrong. The fish here don't like the scent of egg milk. I'll change it to one with strawberry scent." Hong Tao muttered and stood up, picked up the bait basin, and started to prepare a second bait with a different flavor.
In natural waters, fish are not artificially raised, so their food basically comes from nature. If you don’t fish in the same place all year round, the first few times are basically testing what kind of bait the fish here like.
The results are often not very good. This is necessary knowledge for an experienced fisherman.
Although Hong Tao grew up by Houhai, he rarely came back here after moving. In a few years, this place became a famous bar street, and the tranquility of the past was lost. Even if Hong Tao wanted to come back, he would find
It doesn’t feel like it did back then. Moreover, after decades, Hong Tao has long forgotten what bait formula he used when fishing here, so he can only experiment one by one.
We fished until after 7 o'clock, and it was getting dark. Hong Tao tried a total of 4 flavors of bait, but he didn't catch any of them. This is what fishermen usually call a "blank slate" state. The closer it is to this time,
The more impulsive a fisherman is, the less I believe he can catch you!
However, Hong Tao is an old fisherman after all. He has long passed the period of competing with fish. There are too many uncertain factors in fishing, and it is impossible for anyone to take all the variables into consideration. Therefore, the charm of this sport lies in,
You never know how many fish you can catch, what kind of fish you catch, and whether you can catch any fish! No matter how good a master you are, as long as you are in natural waters, a blank slate is inevitable, and artificial fish ponds are out of the question.
It is more difficult to catch fish than to catch fish.
After looking at the sky getting dark, Hong Tao decided to throw out a final wave of bait balls and go home to sleep. If he wanted to fish, he would get up early and come back tomorrow for a few small fish.
It's not worthwhile to feed mosquitoes here. But when he was about to knead the bait balls, he discovered that except for a little bit of pellet feed, all the other commercial baits with modified flavors were used up.
