It took 5 minutes to wash his face, brush his teeth, put on clothes, and put on the fishing gear. Ten minutes later, Hong Tao had appeared on the shore of Houhai. But to his disappointment, three people had already sat down where he fished yesterday. Apparently, they also
I heard that three big carps were caught in this position, so I got up like this and came to occupy a good fishing position. Unfortunately, Houhai belongs to everyone, and Hong Tao can't chase others away, so he can only fish 20 meters to the west of them.
Several meters away, I chose a suitable location for throwing the rod, and began to use experiments to answer the questions in my mind.
This time Hong Tao only brought yesterday's granules, and like Cheng Xun yesterday, he soaked the granules first, then left them for a while, then added water to adjust the soft and hard viscosity, and finally hung them on a hook and threw them into the chosen water.
The distance and distance are similar to yesterday, about 40 meters from the shore.
But Hong Tao waited until noon, and his stomach was starving. Not to mention the big carp, not even a single fish hair could be seen. The four poles were really motionless. The most important thing for a fisherman to catch good fish is patience and analysis.
After summing up his ability, Hong Tao was not discouraged at all. He asked the fishing friends next to him to look at the pole, ran to Yinding Bridge to eat some steamed buns and egg soup, and then returned to the fishing position to wait.
For three whole days, Hong Tao went out early and came back late, continuously conducting experiments at the same location, but with no results. In the end, Hong Tao surrendered to fate. He could only attribute the situation of catching three big carps this time to
Although luck was a bit far-fetched, he really couldn't think of anything else that could explain this phenomenon.
Instead of competing with fishing, Hong Tao hid at home and needed to think about his future. After thinking about it for a day, he couldn't come up with a reason. In his spare time, he decided to sort out the fishing tackle left by his father. Those that had been used for too long
He threw away the long fishing lines and hooks as needed, and wiped a few hand rods and put them away. Although Hong Tao didn't intend to use them, keeping them was a kind of miss.
When he turned over the small bucket filled with water, something clicked and fell out of the small bucket. It was the large scale. Hong Tao had been busy testing fishing bait these days and completely forgot about this piece of scale.
Regarding the scales, Hong Tao suddenly remembered that one day the scales were soaked in a bucket, and he used the water in this bucket to adjust the softness and hardness of the pellet feed. The water used for all previous baits was
Taken from the lake, the water in this bucket is only used for hand washing.
Could it be that the scales had a special smell? Hong Tao brought the dried scales close to his nose and smelled it hard. There was no smell of fish, not even the smell of fish. Hong Tao didn't give up, so he dipped some water in it and smelled it again.
..Hmm, it seems to have a faint fragrance, I can’t tell you exactly what kind of fragrance it is, but it has a bit of a smell, and it’s not unpleasant.
Damn it...is this true? Is it really working? Hong Tao couldn't restrain his excitement, so he quickly picked up the pole bag and horse, and ran to Houhai again with the small bucket.
"Does Tao... like fishing too much? I see that he goes fishing every day, and he is more punctual than going to work." Lying on the window, Sam said to his wife while watching Hong Tao walk out of the yard and close the door.
"I heard from a teacher at school that his parents died in a car accident last year, and he was the only one left. He had just graduated from college and had no job. He must have been psychologically stimulated. I heard the old lady in the front yard say that those fishing gear
They were all used by his father. When he was a child, his father often took him to the lake to fish. I guess he missed his parents." Mrs. Burgess was reading in the back room. When she heard her husband's question, she tilted her head and thought.
Think about it, and then concoct a set of her theories.
"Well, the relationship between Chinese children and their parents seems to be closer. When our school started, many parents brought their children to school to help them sweep the floor, make beds, and fetch water. If we help Eileen like this, she will definitely
You will be very angry." Sam followed his wife's train of thought and talked about his daughter.
"Summer vacation is coming soon. Should we go back to China to see our daughter? I'm always worried about Katie. I heard from Eileen that she had a new boyfriend." When Mrs. Boggis heard her husband mention her daughter, she immediately put it down.
I started to worry about the work in hand.
"Oh, no, dear, young people's lives should be controlled by themselves. They are adults. We can't interfere with them too much...but we can invite them to come to China for vacation. The houses here are enough.
Accommodation, we will pay for the air tickets." Sam obviously did not plan to return to China. He had been having a heated fight with a group of old men on the beach of Houhai these days and was learning Tai Chi. However, when he saw the look in his wife's eyes, he immediately came up with a compromise.
Method.
"That's fine, I'll call them." The wife obviously missed her daughter, but she was unwilling to force her husband to return to China with her. She also thought it was a good idea to let the daughters spend their summer vacation in China, so she turned around and entered the house.
Went on a long distance trip.
Regardless of how Sam and his wife tricked their daughter into spending their summer vacation in China, Hong Tao trotted to Houhai Beach. The fishing spot where the fish was caught was still occupied by people fishing. Fishermen are very superstitious about the quality of the fishing spot. Often you
Once you have a good catch in one place, you will not be able to occupy the same position for many days in a row because there is always someone who got up earlier than you.
Hong Tao found a good place to throw the rod. Instead of rushing to prepare the bait, Hong Tao first filled the small bucket with some water, put the fish scales in, and then covered the small bucket with a towel for wiping his hands.
In order to prevent others from discovering the large scales, after waiting for a few minutes, Hong Tao began to soak the pellet feed in the water in the small bucket, and then adjusted it to a suitable softness and hardness. With the last glimmer of hope, he took the bait and threw the rod.
After throwing the four poles, Hong Tao had just lit a cigarette. Before he could think about the scales, one of the four poles started to move. However, this time it was no longer the tip of the pole nodding randomly, but a constant movement.
Slowly bend down, bend down, and the bottom handle of the pole placed on the ground is pulled a little off the ground.
"Holy shit... big guy." Hong Tao threw away the cigarette he had just lit, picked up the fishing rod and stabbed the fish backwards. The fish in the water was stung by the fishhook and could no longer swim at the same speed as before.
Start accelerating towards the large water surface to the west.
Hong Tao was not panicked. No matter how big the fish in Houhai were, none weighed more than 20 kilograms. The lines and hooks on the wheels were all newly replaced. For fish weighing less than 20 kilograms, Hong Tao had rich experience in fighting, and he had never
From the movement of the fish, we have determined that it is probably not a carp, but a middle-pelagic fish such as grass carp or silver carp and bighead carp, because the fish in the water has automatically left the bottom before the Hong Tao exerts its force.
"Little brother, what kind of fish did you catch? It's so strong? Hurry up and reel in the line, don't let it get into the branches and cut the line." The two fishermen nearby rushed to the scene first, and they asked about the details of Hong Tao.
situation, while cheering Hong Tao to come up with ideas.
"It's probably grass carp..." Hong Tao ignored the concerns of these two enthusiastic fishing friends. The fish in the water were already off the bottom, so there was no need to worry about them getting into the obstacles. Moreover, this fish was not a carp, only a carp.
Carp are such cunning guys that they will try their best to burrow into branches and rocks when they feel they are in danger.
"Oh, oh, oh, master, brother, this fish is not small." Seeing the fish jumping out of the water in the distance, a fishing friend shouted excitedly behind Hong Tao, which ended up attracting all the people passing by.
They formed a semicircle behind them and watched Hong Tao's performance as if they were watching a play.
Within a few minutes, the fish was successfully slipped to the shore. However, this time Hong Tao didn't even use a pick. He leaned down, half-kneeling on the lake shore, inserted a pair of medical hemostats into the fish's mouth, and clamped it.
The hook handle was turned hard, and the fishhook was taken out of the fish's mouth. The big fish, which had already lost its strength, was stimulated by the fishhook, turned around, and plunged into the water and disappeared.
"Oh...why did you let it go? You didn't say anything, I have it..." A fishing friend saw this 7 or 8 kilogram grass carp running away, and complained to Hong Tao with great regret.
"I'm just fishing for fun. I can still fish after I release it, just for fun." Hong Tao put on a new ball of bait and said to the anxious fishing friend with a smile.
