Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 15 Big Bluefish

When we got there, we saw Uncle Six fishing in his own fishing spot, and Father Qin was reeling in the line near the water jump. It seemed he had caught another fish.

"Sixth Uncle." He stepped forward to say hello, probably wanting to borrow his place temporarily.

"Come on, I'll make way for you. I just caught a black bass in your nest, hehe."

"I'm lucky! I started making this nest last night, and it attracted quite a few fish."

"I'll try it later. Also, where did you buy this fishing line? I want to buy a set too."

"It's in the city of Jiuzi. If you have time, just go and buy one." He didn't foolishly say where he bought it or which line he bought it on.

Moreover, the essence of Taiwan fishing is not the line, but the selection of nest materials, bait, and the matching of lead and float.

Various lead tying methods such as large running lead, small running lead, lead-free, floating bottom lead, etc. can adapt to different fishing conditions. It is common to shut down traditional fishing in complex fishing conditions or large water surfaces.

However, the advantage of traditional fishing lies in small rivers and ditches, where you can make grass nests and fish nests in familiar places, and water plants, lotus leaves, and reeds can all be used.

For people like Uncle Liu who have stayed in one place for a long time, it is not difficult to go to the small rivers and ditches to catch crucian carp. They have found out the fish nests in the local area.

But in Yuxi River, traditional fishing can only rely on waiting, and these anglers are not particular about it. They use hemp rope and embroidery needles, and it is normal for the big fish to run away.

Of course, after Taiwan fishing became popular, traditional fishing started using cannon rods again. With a ten-meter rod and a three-meter line, you can catch a lot of fish by accurately baiting the nest, but it's too tiring.

After taking the nest, he packed up his fishing gear. He didn't care when he saw that two pieces of sub-lines were missing, as long as the main line was still there.

"Dad, are you coming over?"

"No, I caught another mandarin fish. You can fish it." Qin's father waved his hand. He was reluctant to leave at this time.

Qin Dahe had no choice but to start his familiar platform fishing.

A fermented corn and a fresh big corn are hung on the double hooks of the sub-line. After throwing it out, the nest is constantly replenished.

Uncle Six watched him from the side without avoiding him, and just followed his own pace.

Ten or so kernels of corn were scattered accurately around the nest at a time.

Damn, the scattering is quite large. I need to get a bait scoop when I get back.

It should be possible to make one with bamboo and wood, otherwise it would be a waste of corn to throw it like this.

However, his casting was still very accurate, and the position of the float was almost within a twenty-centimeter error. Uncle Liu's eyelids were twitching, and he thought that the boy from the Qin family was quite good at fishing.

After five minutes, there was still no movement, so he picked it up and cast again, occasionally pumping the rod a few times to keep the fishing going.

"Shhhhhh!"

The sound of a big fish cutting through the water was heard again, but unfortunately it was on the old man's side, and the fish was almost running over here.

"Dad, it's a waste of time to move the fish away and scare the fish out of their nest." He looked at his father speechlessly.

"Right now, the wheel came loose accidentally."

Damn, it's not reliable at all. Even when I'm fishing with lures, the fish can still run fifty meters away.

Seeing that he hadn't caught any fish, Uncle Six thought it was a waste of bait, so he packed up his things and went home to play cards.

He cast again and continued to fill the nest.

This method is to lure fish by continuously putting handfuls of corn into the water and using sound to lure the fish. It is a bit costly, but the effect is very good.

The fish density is higher here in Dawan, so this method is still very effective.

Seeing Qin's father happily collecting another mandarin fish, he felt like crying. Such a good opportunity was snatched away by his dad. Damn it.

After a few minutes, he had lifted the pole up, when suddenly there was a splash of water that almost pulled him down.

"Finally, a big fish has arrived."

Now his whole body is leaning back a little, and the rod is already at negative 180 degrees, which means that the tip of the rod and the main section are beyond the parallel position.

Fortunately, it was raw bamboo; ripe bamboo would have burst long ago. He stuck the fishing rod directly into the ground, holding it firmly at the one-meter mark with his hand.

Judging from the situation, it is either a meter-sized black carp or a grass carp.

Although black carp is the weakest big fish, this 7+5 line set may not be able to withstand it.

Even if the bamboo protects the line, there is a limit. Don't let it run away.

At this time, Qin's father also stopped what he was doing, ran over to watch his son's performance, and even had an urge to snatch the pole away in his eyes.

But considering that I had already snatched it once in the morning, it would be a bit bullying to snatch it again.

Fortunately, after five minutes the big fish stopped moving and slightly exposed its head. The father and son knew it was a black carp, and only a black carp would surrender in five minutes.

If you encounter a big carp weighing dozens of kilograms, the line would have been cut long ago and there would be no chance of escaping.

"This one weighs more than 20 kilograms, hehe, it costs a few hundred dollars." He said proudly.

"You're in luck. I'll copy it for you."

Father Qin went into the water for a distance and scooped up the fish steadily.

"It's really heavy. You must be good at catching big fish." The old man's face was filled with a happy smile.

He has come to Da Wan to fish many times, but he has never caught such a big fish. The occasional hooks are usually cut off.

"Hey, you want to catch big fish, don't you? Hang up the two big green earthworms in the bucket. They are more useful in the water than loaches."

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

After Qin's father put the fish down, he turned around and started to hang earthworms.

This thing is longer than a loach, and it is particularly conspicuous when dancing in the water. Largemouth bass and mandarin fish will be tempted by it, not to mention black carp. If you encounter it, you will definitely catch it.

It was already past ten o'clock, and Qin Dahe estimated that his mother would bring the meal in about an hour. He rested for a long time before continuing to play.

In fact, fishing consumes physical energy very quickly. The raw bamboo is heavy. The father and son’s stomachs are burning like fire, but they are full because of the catch, otherwise they would have run back to eat.

Unfortunately, there was no movement from the two of them. At eleven o'clock, Qin's father put on a small breast lift, and the two of them gave up.

We drank water together and then waited anxiously for the arrival of food on the road.

"Your lure reel is good, you get what you pay for." Father Qin looked at the rod in his hand and couldn't let it go.

"It cost several thousand yuan, and there was a matching pole there, but I thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it."

"how much is it?"

"130, he gave me the whole set for 200, and I bargained for 70 to buy the wheels."

"Next time you buy it, I'll give you the money. The wheels are so good, the pole must be good too." Qin's father said generously.

Today's catch of mandarin fish, black carp, black carp and black bass is almost worth a thousand, so it's no problem to invest more in fishing gear.

"Okay, but winter is coming and we won't be able to fish. What about the fish pond?"

He took out a cigarette and handed one to his dad, and they both puffed on the smoke.

"I almost forgot. The director and I have agreed on 200 yuan a year. Whoever is free tomorrow can just go and sign it."

"We don't need to distribute fish at the end of the year, right?"

"What the hell? Dividing the fish in a three-acre pond is for the third son to do." Qin's father curled his lips.

After Qin Laosan contracted Neihu Lake, he had to pay 6500 yuan in pond rent every year, and distribute fish to villagers when cleaning the pond. If he hadn't raised crabs and mandarin fish, he would not have made any money at all.

　Please give me monthly tickets, double monthly tickets, I really want them.
