Chapter six hundred and fourteen on a strange fish
"Lake Okeechobee is my hometown. I have been fishing in this lake with my father since I was a child. It can be said that my career started here. The Chinese boy's current mark looks good on the surface, but he obviously
I don’t know much about this lake at all.
There was a small dam that was demolished last year, so there are very few fishermen fishing at this spot, and I’m not very optimistic about it.” The fisherman named Daniels obviously looked down upon Hong Tao’s unprofessionalism, although he didn’t say it.
It's too serious to say, but his expression said it all.
"Well, we wish the Chinese boy good luck. Now let's leave here to see what other fishermen are doing. Please don't go away." The host understood what Daniels said, no matter what he said about it.
How interested Hong Tao is, the TV broadcast cannot be diverted by his own will. It is his serious business to show more scenes of fish catching.
The broadcast boat stayed near Hong Tao for a few minutes, and then turned around and left. However, Daniels, who was driving the boat, was very professional. Even though he was not optimistic about the punctuation point where Hong Tao was, he still followed the rules of fishermen and only fished
The throttle was opened to the minimum so that the engine would not make too much noise. When the ship was completely away from the marking point of the waves, the throttle was increased and the ship sailed away.
"My dear, they're gone. Don't be too nervous. Your boating skills really need to be practiced. It would be great if we didn't go to Disneyland yesterday but borrowed Paul's speedboat to get familiar with it. Am I holding you back?
Already?" Irene was lying on the driver's seat, and after seeing the broadcast boat moving away, she whispered to Hong Tao.
"It's nothing. Fishing depends on skill, not how good the boat is. You don't have to worry, let's see how your husband wins the game!" Hong Tao has gradually become familiar with the small technique of using the pedals to control the direction of the boat.
It can only bother him for a while, but after a while of actual operation, there will be no problem. Of course, it is still not to the extent that he can do whatever he wants. It can only be said that he can barely play.
"Come on!" Irene waved her arms a few more times to encourage Hong Tao, then put on her sunglasses and started to bask in the sun.
Hong Tao swayed and finally drove the boat to the ideal position, then opened his bait box and took out 5 minnows that were exactly the same except for the color. These minnows had all been specially processed by Hong Tao.
Stuffed with a sponge soaked in fish scale water, the concentration of the fish scale water is only
They are different. Hong Tao uses color to distinguish them. Pink has the highest concentration, followed by blue, yellow, yellow and white and white. The work he needs to do now is not to go fishing. It is to conduct preliminary field tests.
, to see what concentration of fish scale water is most effective for bass.
Minnow is a type of lure that imitates the appearance of a small fish. It is made of wood, plastic or metal, and is painted in colors that imitate small fish. Its tail and abdomen are usually equipped with a three-dimensional
It is a small spear hook with a sharp tip, and its mouth is a metal ring connected to the fishing line. It comes in different colors and mainly targets upper-level fish.
Lure fishing is very different from traditional fishing and Taiwan fishing. In traditional fishing and Taiwan fishing, the most important thing is the status and taste of the bait, and then the judgment of the fish float action. These two fishing methods use
The taste, state, and color of the bait attract the fish. Then when the fish sucks the bait, the different movements of the fish float are used to determine whether to lift the rod to stab the fish.
The lure fishing method uses artificial bait. There is no taste type. It relies entirely on the movement of the artificial bait in the water and the sound imitates the various forms of small fish, such as injury, escape, jumping, etc., to lure
Predatory fish nearby attack the artificial bait. In this case, there are special requirements for the production of artificial bait.
For example, two identical lures may behave completely differently in the water due to differences in materials, center of gravity, and appearance. Some lures will also be equipped with a small tongue-like thing on the head. This thing is called a pressure
With the water plate or lip piece, fishermen can make the lure make various simulated movements in the water through the speed of retracting the line, the slight shaking of the rod, and the water pressure plate. Generally speaking,
The more realistic it is, the easier it is to attract the attention of nearby predatory fish, and the higher the success rate.
However, there is a premise for this fishing method, that is, fishermen need to actively look for target fish. If there are no predatory fish nearby, then it is useless for you to make the artificial bait look more like a fish than the real fish. Because the lure fishing method cannot
Make a nest just like traditional fishing and Taiwan fishing.
It is impossible to slowly lure fish from far away, so in lure fishing, techniques are very important, and artificial bait is very important, but the most important thing is to find fish through experience. Fishermen must first find the waters where the target fish lives, and then
Only in this way can you use your skills, otherwise it will be all in vain.
Having said so much, I can sum it up in one sentence: Lure fishing is about people looking for fish, while traditional fishing and Taiwanese fishing are about fish looking for people.
Hong Tao’s weakest link in lure fishing is finding fish. His technique of controlling the lures cannot be said to be very good, but it is acceptable, and his accuracy in throwing the rod is no problem. These small techniques are well thought out for stationary fishing.
You can master it with a little practice. But the skill of finding fish does not take a day or two.
It can be understood. It turns out that the traditional fish that Hong Tao catches the most are the four domestic fishes. Hong Tao has almost mastered the living habits of these fish. Even if he goes to an unfamiliar water area, he can still accumulate them over many years.
Use experience to determine which location is most likely to hold fish.
However, the target fish of lures are completely different, they are all predatory fish, and in China, especially in the northern waters, the target fish of lures are often snakeheads, pouts, horsemouths, white stripes, etc. Bass is rare.
Hong Tao basically has no practical experience and can only rely on books or a few words gained from previous interactions with other anglers.
So Hong Tao had to cheat. If it was a normal competition, he wouldn't be able to use fish scale water, so it wouldn't matter if he came in last, just treat it as a practice. But this time is different, let's not talk about the issue of face or not, if this time
If you lose, you get real money.
Pay it forward! Don’t look at Hong Tao and Fatty Bu. Sturgeon went to the Amazon for more than ten days and didn’t spend much money in total. But if he takes someone like Paul there, his standards must be higher than Hong Tao’s. For the sake of his own pocket, Hong Tao thinks he should do it.
The disadvantages are not psychologically burdensome at all.
What I have to say is that the fish scales are really magical. Hong Tao only cast the rod twice, and his fingers felt the shaking from the fishing line. This was a fish attacking the bait, but it had not yet swallowed the bait.
.Generally, when this happens during the lure process, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the fish’s mouth is too small and the bait is too big, so it cannot swallow it; the second is that the bait runs too fast and the fish behind it cannot catch up.
;
If it is the first situation, Hong Tao has no idea at all. The length of the minnow he chose is 13 centimeters and the weight is 18 grams. It is already the smallest minnow he has processed. Even if there are smaller minnows,
, Hong Tao doesn’t plan to change, because there is a length limit on the fish caught during the competition, and there is no point in catching fish that are too small. It will be a waste of a long time and will have to be thrown back.
If it is the second situation, Hong Tao still has a way. He can control the speed of retracting the line. If it is too fast and does not bite, then go slower. If it is too slow and does not bite, then go faster. Anyway, there is always a suitable speed. Try more.
How many times?
After throwing out the third rod, Hong Tao slowed down the speed of retrieving the line and shook the rod from time to time to make the bait jump on the water surface, like a frightened small fish running away. A few seconds later
, Hong Tao's efforts paid off, a water mark suddenly appeared on the water behind the bait, and a large fish caught up with the bait. Just as it pounced and bit the bait, Hong Tao
The fishing rod in front of him was suddenly raised to the right and rear.
"The fish is on! Baby, get the big fish!" As a heavy force came from his hand, Hong Tao smiled happily and shouted at the same time as he quickly reeled in the line.
"Here it comes! Here it comes!" Irene, who was lying on the driver's seat, stood up immediately, picked up the net from the back deck, jumped up and down to the front deck, and left Hong Tao's left hand without saying a word.
I took a sip on my face and then stared at the fishing line swinging back and forth, preparing to catch the fish.
This time Hong Tao chose 5 Fenwick lure rods, tonality M/MH, and No. 2.5 8-braid PE line. This fishing group is already considered a relatively tough configuration for bass fishing. Fish weighing about 2 pounds basically have no struggle.
The amount of leeway depends on the hardness of the fishing rod and the strength of the fishing line, but he reels in the line without giving in and directly throws the fish up.
In fact, one of the important pleasures of fishing is fishing. If the rod is too hard and the line group is too horizontal, it will not be helpful to feel the fun of fishing. For this reason, some fishing friends will deliberately choose fishing rods with soft tonality.
Come and feel the strength of the fish struggling in the water for a while, and increase the fun of fishing.
But now is a competition, not a time for fun. The ultimate goal is to catch the fish in the fastest, most labor-saving and safest way. Hong Tao himself has always aimed to catch big fish, and many times he can only fish in the wild for a week.
He can't catch a big fish, so when choosing equipment, he is also accustomed to choosing equipment with a relatively high reserve. His slogan is: Otherwise, don't bite the hook, and if you bite the hook, don't even think about running away!
After the fish in the water was stung by the fishhook, it originally wanted to run away, but Hong Tao pulled it back like a dead dog. It only made two horizontal movements to tell it to swim, and it was already on the boat.
side.
"Oh God! It's a crocodile! Hong Tao, be careful! Don't get close to it!" Irene's eyes were sharper than Hong Tao's. When a fish mouth was just exposed on the water, she screamed, not only copying
He threw the net aside and pulled Hong Tao's shorts back with his hands, for fear that his husband would be bitten by a fish in the water.
