When fishermen are together, no matter how unfamiliar they are, as long as they chat about fishing and fishing gear, they will quickly become familiar with each other. The old fisherman, who was originally a master, explained to Hong Tao how to fish for sweetfish in the village.
During the process, he also put down his arrogance and went back to add a few words from time to time, fearing that the first captain of the village did not explain Hong Tao in detail enough. In the end, he simply turned around on his chair, took out his fishing group and fishing rod, and held hands
He taught Hong Tao how to tie the fishing rig and how to observe the movements of the float. There was no barrier at all when they first met.
Everyone chatted and discussed all the time. Time passed very quickly. After 2 hours, the fishing spot for this sweetfish fishing competition arrived. This is a very wide river. The Japanese name is "Kinugawa". The river where the fishing spot is located is very
It is shallow, but the water surface is very wide, about 50 meters. The water is dotted with large and small stones. It is said to be a river, but in fact it is more like a stream.
A total of 16 teams participated in this competition. They are all ayu fishing experts from all over Japan. They have passed various trials to stand out. When Hong Tao and his car arrived at the fishing ground, the place was already crowded, not only
There are vehicles owned by anglers and many fishing tackle companies, and the largest number of them are actually Japanese media. Several well-known major TV stations have actually set up broadcast trucks. The reporters are carrying cameras and it seems that they are broadcasting live.
.
Seeing this formation, Hong Tao was really a little confused. Looking from the shore, the north bank along the stream was almost full of people and cars. There were more cameras, video cameras, and microphones than fishing rods. There were many participating fishermen.
They were all being interviewed by TV stations and reporters. As soon as Hong Tao and the others got out of the car, a large group of reporters with long guns and cannons surrounded them. Hong Tao was so frightened that he shrank his head and got back into the car.
"Are you shy? Or do you have stage fright?" Zhou Xiaoli originally wanted to get out of the car, but Hong Tao backed away and squeezed back into the car.
"You don't need to have such a grand party to catch fish, right? I was mainly worried that I would be too handsome, so I went out first to steal the shot of the first captain of the village. I stayed in the car for a while and waited for them to finish their work before getting out of the car." Hong Tao is a very good person.
Authentic Beijingers, the style of eating meat but not chewing has always been carried forward.
"Hey, little kid!" Zhou Xiaoli curled her lips and scorned Hong Tao. She straightened her clothes and ruffled her hair, and then got out of the car with her chest held high and her head held high. She stood next to the village leader and spoke with the representative of Dawa Company.
identity and began to be interviewed.
"I..." Hong Tao originally wanted to prove that he was not a kid, but after mustering up his courage several times, he still didn't dare to get out of the car. In the end, he found a very convincing reason to comfort himself because of the language barrier.
It’s a blessing, not a curse. It’s a curse that cannot be avoided. The ancients will not deceive me. Hong Tao, who was hiding in the car, had just taken two puffs of a cigarette when he was pulled out by the team of the village first captain and Zhou Xiaoli. The reason was that those reporters heard that Da
There was also a foreign player in the Wa team, and he immediately got excited and insisted on taking a family photo for the whole team, and he also had to ask a few questions to the foreign player Hong Tao.
Now that people are coming to the door, there is no way to hide. Hong Tao can only stand with his teammates and let these reporters take pictures. Finally, Zhou Xiaoli acts as an interpreter and accepts their interview. However, these reporters still
To save face, I only asked a few general questions, such as whether it was my first time to compete in Japan, whether I knew about sweetfish fishing, whether I was confident of winning, etc. Hong Tao answered them in a vague, neither salty nor bland way.
The nonsense has been confused.
Just like the competitive fishing competition, these 16 fishing teams also need to draw lots to determine their team’s fishing position. However, this position is not a fixed position on the shore, but a section of the river. Each fishing position is almost
There is a 50-meter-long river channel in which three fishermen from each team will fish.
The Gangshi Village fishing team drew No. 11. This section of the river is a bit far from where Hong Tao and the others parked their car, so they need to walk there. Hong Tao followed his three teammates back to the car, and each took the fishing gear for fishing for sweetfish.
and equipment, and started heading towards the fishing position.
In addition to bait and hooks, the equipment for fishing sweet fish is basically the equipment for stream fishing. The so-called stream fishing is also a main fishing method in freshwater fishing. Since its main fishing grounds are in those streams and small rivers,
Therefore, the fishing tackle and equipment used are somewhat different from the usual lake and library fishing methods.
First of all, there are special stream fishing rods for stream fishing. This kind of pole looks similar to the ordinary Taiwanese fishing rod, except that each section is shorter, which is more suitable for carrying. Moreover, the target fish caught by the stream rod and the Taiwanese fishing rod are different.
They are also different in terms of hardness, tonality, and strength. Since the fish that are mainly targeted by stream fishing are small fish, the stream rod does not need to have great strength and hardness, and can be made very light, like 4
A stream rod weighing about 1 meter usually only weighs about one tael, or 50 grams, which is almost twice as light as a Taiwan fishing rod.
When fishing for sweetfish here in Japan, most fishermen use a fishing rod called "Hachiko". This rod is thinner and lighter and is specially designed to catch small fish in streams. Hachiko
It is the name of a kind of fish in Japanese. This fish is not very big, only about 10 centimeters long. It is also called "Xi Ge" in China and "Peach Blossom Fish" in Taiwan.
In addition to the fishing rod, you must also wear waterproof pants and non-slip fishing boots. This is a must, because stream fishing requires standing in the fast current to fish, especially in this late autumn season. If you do not keep warm and waterproof,
No one can stand wearing trousers. Non-slip fishing boots or non-slip shoes are also a must, because the stones in the stream are very slippery, and some are covered with moss. If the anti-slip effect of the shoes is not good, it is easy to slip.
Injuried.
In addition, you have to prepare a small waterproof waist bag, put your fishing hooks, lead fishing and small fishing accessories in it, and carry it directly with you for easy access.
If you are fishing for sweetfish, you must prepare something called a "guide boat". This is the first time Hong Tao has seen this kind of thing. Even in his previous life, he has never seen such a fishing equipment. It seems that it must be Japanese.
Specially designed for fishing sweet fish.
A "pilot boat" is something like a small boat, about the size of a small backpack, in the shape of a boat, with about a few liters of space inside. It can float on the water, with a connecting ring on the bow, and a rope to hang it on.
On the body of a fisherman, it floats wherever the fisherman goes.
So what is this "pilot" used for? In fact, it is a fish tank, put water in it, and then put the sweetfish as bait in it to keep the small fish active, and then put the caught sweetfish
It is also placed inside, which serves as a fish guard and a container for raising fish bait, which is very convenient. In order to prevent the small boat from making a sound when hitting the rocks and disturbing the fish in the water, the Japanese fishing gear manufacturer also specially designed the bottom of the boat.
The half part is made of soft rubber material so that it will not make any noise when it hits stones.
In addition, there are many small equipment that I will not introduce one by one, such as bait guns, various gadgets, hats, sunglasses, etc. Some things are all based on personal preference and there are no unified regulations.
Hong Tao also received a complete set of stream fishing equipment and fishing gear, all of which were sponsored by Dawa Company. At this time, he was fully dressed, but he could not go into the water because he was a substitute and could only watch from the shore. If not
If something unexpected happened, he would have to put on and take off this equipment. The soles of his shoes were all dry.
As the saying goes, lucky people don't have to be busy. Just when Hong Tao was squatting on the bank, bored and tying his own fishing gear according to the method taught by the first captain of the village and others, a loud shout suddenly came from the river.
The sound was a bit miserable. Hong Tao looked up and saw a figure wearing red waterproof clothing and pants had fallen into the water, and his body was being rolled around by the knee-deep water. Hong Tao remembered this man in red clothes very clearly. He was from his team.
The oldest fisherman wore it, but Hong Tao still scolded him for a long time for wearing red at such an old age!
Seeing the old man lying in the water, Hong Tao ignored the rule of not entering the water and ran to the old man jumping up and down, grabbed his fishing vest and helped him up from the water.
