Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 13 Big Bay Lure

There are a lot of people in the convenience store in the morning, but buying loaches still depends on luck. Those who use ground traps can get some occasionally.

He waited for a long time before he saw someone selling loaches at three yuan per pound, so he ordered two pounds directly.

"Dahe, I saw you and your father brought a lot of fishing rods this morning. Are you going fishing for loaches?" At this time, Uncle Liu also came out carrying a fishing rod.

This is how fishing is done in the countryside. Everyone brings bamboo rods, and only those who are bored will buy glass rods.

Those glass rods are not lighter than processed bamboo rods, and the force is not as evenly distributed as bamboo rods. It is a waste of money to buy them.

"Yes, I went to the Big Bay to fish for a day, and put some shrimp cages there." He did not hide it.

"Let's go together."

Uncle Six naturally couldn't bear to buy loaches, as those fish were big ones, and their lines might not be able to handle them.

The hemp rope on the grain bag is strong, but it has no elasticity, and those predatory big black fish and big mandarin fish move violently.

The two of them went to Dawan together. When they arrived, they saw Qin's father catching fish.

It was pulled out with great effort. It looked like a black carp weighing more than two kilograms. It exploded in the water once and then went safely into the fish basket.

"Dad, that's awesome."

"Hehe, a good start. This black carp is worth at least thirty yuan." Father Qin happily hung the corn again.

When I cast out the double hooks, the anticipation is even greater than with a single hook, and the floating float is also clear to see. My son has learned a lot from learning to fish.

"Then I'm going to the water to play lure fishing. Call me if you need anything."

"Go ahead, I'm here." Qin's father waved his hand, not wanting to talk more with his son.

Fishing requires silence. If someone talks, the big fish will be scared away. However, the Yuxi River has strong winds and waves, so I don’t know why he is so particular about it.

Qin Dahe picked up the lure rod and went to jump into someone's water nearby.

First, I poured a pound of loaches into the pond to make a nest. These loaches were very small, and at least twenty of them went in.

Then he hung a sequin and started fishing, and waited until the loach nest was open before hanging the live bait.

The first time we searched along the shore, where there were some water plants and small fish, a favorite place for black carp.

The first and second shots were both misses, and the third shot was hit hard halfway through.

He was very confident with the braided line, and if he felt it was not big, he would just fly fish.

I saw a silvery-white fish swimming fast along the water surface. It was fat and stood up and splashed water.

"Bass, it's good, this one is fat." He chuckled, took the line and went directly to the fishing spot, and put the bass into the net.

"Can this thing still be fished now?" Qin's father asked doubtfully.

Bass are generally more common in summer and are difficult to catch in autumn and winter.

"It's hotter this year, so I guess they were attracted by the rhythm of the water diving." He shrugged and continued to guard the diving platform.

The rhythmic slapping sounds of the aunties washing clothes in the morning will attract large predatory fish to come and take a look, making it a great place for lure fishing.

But he wasn't so lucky afterwards, and even got a weed stuck on him, which he had to remove with a scythe.

After thinking about it, he decided to put up the live bait. There were many obstacles in the aquatic plant area, and if he got caught on an iron lump, he would have to go into the water.

The temperature difference in autumn is large, and catching a cold is not worth it.

The way he hangs loaches is different from others, he hangs them alive.

Just hang it from the gills and then fix it with hemp rope to prevent the loach from getting hurt and falling off.

There's nothing I can do. I'm poor. If I don't catch any fish, I can still use the loaches many times.

With the gentle whirring of the spinning wheel, the loach was cast into the center of the river, more than 40 meters away. He then retrieved it piece by piece, trying to create a false movement to lure the predatory fish into taking the bait.

First shot, second shot, third shot
Shit, Uncle Six caught a small fathead carp, also known as silver carp, which was anchored up, and the old man caught a black carp. Why is there no movement here?

His arms were sore from shaking the loach, but the loach didn't struggle and just followed his throwing.

After thinking about it, he changed to a loach and let the old actor rest for a while.

This time I didn't reel in the line. I directly threw the loach into the center of the river and started bottom fishing with a dull rod.

Now that there are more big boats, it is simply not feasible to use lures. The noise is not even as big as the waves.

This time it was much more comfortable. After throwing it out, he got a bench and sat on the water jump.

When a lady came to wash clothes, he gave way to her without causing any delay.

"Young man, are you catching soft-shelled turtles? Whose are they?" A sturdy aunt greeted him with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm from the Qin family. My dad and I are going to try fishing here today."

"Hey, Mr. Qin, I held you in my arms when you were little. You've grown up so fast. Do you have a wife?"

My aunt started chatting with him and even slowed down while washing clothes.

Qin Dahe didn't mind. He was fishing far away, and the movement of the line group was all caused by loaches running. Talking didn't affect catching fish.

"Auntie, my dad said we can make some money next year and then talk about finding a wife. There's no rush."

According to seniority, he really has to call people "Auntie". In their place, the wife of an old man's older friend is called "Auntie".

"How can that be? The sooner you get married, the sooner you should have children. I'll pay attention to you later. The three of you can all earn money. Who would despise you for being poor?" Aunt said nonchalantly.

"Well, that's fine, but don't introduce anyone who's too smart. Just see if there are any stupid women."

"Haha, this kid is interesting. He doesn't even pick a good one. I can't make the decision. I'll talk to Lan'er later." The aunt covered her mouth and laughed foolishly.

He married a silly wife, and the little girl is not shy at all. Most young people would start talking about other things or run away when encountering this topic.

At this moment, his pole moved suddenly, and the wheels began to make a frequent "ding ding ding" sound.

"Auntie, we've caught some fish. Let's stop chatting."

He pulled the fishing rod hard to get the fish firmly hooked first, otherwise it would be a waste if it ran away.

"Shhhhhh!"

The fishing line kept cutting across the bottom of the water, and the sound startled the nearby anglers.

"Dad, mandarin fish!" he shouted excitedly.

Wild fishing for mandarin fish, I had only seen it on Douyin in my previous life, but in this life I actually caught one on the first day of fishing.

"Go slower, mandarin fish is not cheap." Qin's father said enviously.

The strength of the hook is average, and it is not as good as the feeling of catching a mandarin fish.

Qin Dahe felt that the mandarin fish was not big, so he opened the lock of the wheel and started to reel in the line quickly.

As a result, before the fish came out of the water, its stomach exploded with a "bang".

"You idiot, deep-water fish must be brought up at a constant speed. You've lost another fish." Qin's father glared at him fiercely when he saw it.

"I'll know next time. It's like I've never fished before." He nodded awkwardly, having wasted dozens of dollars.

This mandarin fish weighs at least two and a half kilograms, almost three kilograms, and it costs sixty or seventy yuan. Damn it, he even wants to slap himself.

The water pressure is extremely high at a depth of twenty meters. The fish have already adapted to the underwater environment. It would be strange if they didn't explode if he pulled them up violently.
