Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 315

The next morning, he had a simple breakfast at home and went to the store to buy some food. Then he drove to the sluice gate alone to fish.

Hanwaer has to work with his father-in-law, and Erhu and the others also have to do welding, so I am alone today.

It was only half past six when they arrived, and only Uncle Chen came earlier than him.

"Uncle, it's quite early." He walked up to say hello and started to go back to move things.

There are many things including fishing platform, telescopic bench, fishing rod, etc., as well as two snakeskin bags of bait.

This is prepared for those anglers. There are also two large transfer boxes in the car. They can collect a wave of fish at night and go to the city to make some money.

"Dahe, you are here." Uncle Chen smiled and pointed to a location upstream.

"I know. I'll take the lead."

Let’s go to the river to install the fishing platform first. I guess there will be quite a lot of people here today. Many people called last night.

The fishing platform had not been installed yet, but Gangzi and his friends came down.

"Where's Lao Wang?" I didn't see the leader.

"He's doing business. He's a big boss." Gangzi started distributing cigarettes to everyone.

Except for Qin Dahe, the youngest ones were all in their thirties, and the group was chatting very enthusiastically.

The interactions between anglers are extremely pure, and they rarely have any utilitarian motives in making friends. At most, they may be jealous of you for catching a big fish.

"Boss Qin, let's have a little competition today. The three from Central Primary School should come over and play too."

"Haha, okay, I'll personally pay the first prize of 100 yuan, but you have to collect all your fish for me at night."

"Boss Qin is generous."

"Interesting. We have to hurry this time." Gangzi took the lead and sat close to Qin Dahe.

The water is now flowing downstream and the sluice gates are closed. The closer the nest is to the Qin River, the better the effect.

"Ce, Gangzi, you're really quick."

"Fuck, I let you snatch it away after just two words."

Everyone put down their fishing gear and took a seat, then started to smoke and take a break.

Qin Dahe also took a break as there were too many things to handle.

"Help each other catch fish today, just don't put the fish on the sub-line." He said in advance that today he was alone with the 7.2-meter line, and it would be difficult to catch a 5-jin fish without help.

"I know, there are rules."

Prepare the bait, tie the fishing line, and then wait for the bait to wake up, and everyone starts to get busy.

There are many things to prepare when fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, and it takes a while to set up and close the stall.

Some people come to buy bait. Now there is no need to weigh it. Just count the money for two-jin or five-jin packages.

Seeing the "Dangerous Water Depth" sign next to him, Qin Dahe had an idea and took out a marker and started writing on the sign.

"The first Dazha Fishing Competition, Champion:", followed by a blank.

"Write down whoever wins the championship."

"Fuck, that's awesome."

Everyone immediately became interested. This sign is erected here, and anyone who comes here to fish in the future can see it.

Everyone is rubbing their hands in anticipation, wishing they could win the championship right now and put their names on the list. It would be so convenient to show off.

"Haha, let's see what you can do." Qin Dahe said proudly.

The sun was already on the other side of the river, but they were in the shade in the morning, and the river breeze was quite cool.

Occasionally, there are whitebait on the water surface, and predatory fish have been very active recently.

Seeing that the bait was almost awake, he began to make a nest with loose dough.

I hit the spot one meter above his fishing spot and caught two balls of fish in one minute. Today he was the first one to catch fish. Without a heavy nest, no fish could be gathered.

Everyone saw him start to make bait and fill it up. This is the fun of fishing for silver carp and bighead carp: the more people there are, the more fish there are.

At seven o'clock, three more people came down. They were from the Central Primary School. They were the ones who were fined for secretly going to the reservoir to fish last time.

There are about fifteen people sitting by the river now.

Everyone greeted each other and looked at the warning signs with excited eyes.

Qin Dahe also secretly cheered himself up, hoping that he could win the river crown. It would be so cool to have his name written on it. He had his own fishing platform, so he still had some advantages.

Currently, he and Mr. Wang are the only ones using the fishing platform, and without a car, they cannot use these heavy equipment.

Twenty minutes after casting the bait, there was already a smell of scattered fish on the water surface. He did not rush to fish and continued to bait the bait.

Gangzi and his friends couldn't wait to start fishing since someone was already filling the bait upstream.

I kept fishing for forty minutes, and only started fishing when bubbles started to appear on his side.

After finishing one pot of bait, I changed to another pot of bait and started to knead the bait and cast the rod.

Because there is a large amount of flowing water, a double lead float of 15 grams is used.

He used side casting, and the bait and lead just reached the peak when they entered the water and were pulled back, but there was not much sound.

I came here to fish alone today, so the main line is 6.9 meters long, and with the sub-line it is exactly 7.2 meters, which makes casting convenient and the fish can be reeled in faster.

Some people around here have started catching fish. Here's a silver carp weighing over eight kilograms, which is pretty good.

His bait moved immediately after entering the water. As it was at the upstream position, the fish in the "Snack Street" would definitely come over to take a look.

The float rises and falls gently, but there is no need to rush. I don’t know how the fish will bite today. I will decide whether to cast quickly after I am sure of the fish bite.

"middle."

Gangzi next to him caught a fish, and it was a big one, so everyone started to cut water towards him.

He could only raise his rod slightly to make room for the other person, but he didn't expect that his hook would also be caught by a fish.

"Haha, here comes the goods."

Everyone was immediately surprised, "The fish bites so hard."

It may be because the sluice gate has just released water, the fish on this side of the sluice gate have gathered again, and they are using running water to make nests, so the fish are gathering very quickly.

After a while, the fisherman nearby came to help them scoop up the fish.

Everyone has a long rod, and no one can guarantee that they can catch the silver carp and bighead carp by themselves, so helping each other is definitely necessary.

Qin Dahe's fish was smaller and was quickly pulled up. It was a silver carp weighing more than six kilograms.

The overall size of the fish in the sluice gate is now a little smaller than before, so it is normal for them to fish for so many days.

When he cast his rod again, Gangzi next to him also caught a silver carp weighing 12 kilograms, which was considered a big catch now.

"Let's compete by weight today, right?"

"Calculate the weight." Qin Dahe nodded. You can't calculate the price, that's nonsense.

"Then I'll catch more silver carp." Gangzi said happily.

It doesn't matter if you have less money, but it's good to have more fish. It's fun to catch big fish.

"I heard that you made a lot of money by fishing for herring some time ago. Why don't you go there anymore?" a fisherman asked curiously.

"Let's wait for the water to recede. Fishing now is too dangerous and requires too many people."

It is impossible to fish with one person and one rod, and it takes half a day to get a bite.

"Call me next time you go fishing. I have fishing gear here too."

"Take me with you."

Everyone spoke up, and everyone knew that his fishing idea was great, and the black carp was bigger than the silver carp and bighead carp.

Qin Dahe looked at them and made a fuss, feeling both amused and helpless.

"You need to prepare a nest to catch black carp. There are so many of us, but we don't have the resources. At most, three or five people can fish together." "Next time I have time, I'll call a few people."

The weather is not hot now, so we can fish during the day. We can find a few people to go to the Big Bay for some fun.

Black carp is more adaptable to low temperature environments and can be caught at least until late autumn.

He didn't take it seriously. It was too dangerous to fish on the island in the middle of the river. The resources were not that abundant by the river, and it would be a test of one's character.

The cotton will be on the market soon and he has to go and harvest it.

The dozen or so fishermen present here either come from well-off families or are retired like Uncle Chen. They are all very idle. He can't compare to them. He has to make money to support his children.

Seeing the float moving again, I put aside all distractions and started to watch the float.

One eye, half an eye, one eye.
Seeing that someone nearby had already caught a fish, he felt a little anxious, but he would have to wait at least an eye and a half to be safe.

Suddenly, a big black drift appeared.

"Swish!" A beautiful upward 30-degree hook. "Fuck you, you gave me a black float, it scared me."

"Haha, maybe a big silver carp will come." Gangzi said with a smile.

When fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, black drift is rarely seen, as they usually feed by sucking. However, the ferocious bighead carp is different, as it will attack the bait.

"It's quite big." Qin Dahe said and started to push it with his feet.

He estimated it to be around 20 kilograms, which is considered a large item nowadays.

But this time it was strange. It didn't cut the water, but was focused on getting out, struggling with great strength.

The fishing rod began to tremble, and he held it with his hand.

The glass rod was relatively soft, so there was no need to rush. It would take at least twenty minutes to get up. He lit a cigarette with one hand and started to show off.

"Fuck." Gangzi raised his middle finger and looked at him with contempt.

"Haha, this is how I catch a black carp weighing over 80 kilograms." Qin Dahe said proudly.

After finishing a cigarette, there is still no trace of the fish in the water.

The shore is full of people, so it’s not easy to fish there. It’s better to wait at the fishing platform.

Twenty minutes later, the fish's tail flashed once, then flashed again.

"Ce, double flying, haha." Qin Dahe was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the legendary double flying would come.

"Oh shit, that's not possible." Everyone was shocked.

Catching both silver carp and bighead carp is a rare feat. This has nothing to do with resources, but is entirely due to the method of using one hook to hold bait and one hook to hold fish. Even if the fishing is fierce, only one fish can be caught.

It is common for them to catch crucian carp in pairs.

Gangzi happened to be nearby, waiting at the fishing platform on Qin Dahe with a giant scoop net.

Qin Dahe was the only one in the audience who brought a giant scoop net for catching black carp. No one else could use it.

He jumped off the fishing platform and started pulling back. The angler next to him had also caught a fish, and he couldn't delay him.

Soon, two silver carp and bighead carp, one white and one spotted, were scooped in. Qin Dahe happily took them and put the fish into the fish basket.

"You guys need to work harder." He chuckled.

These two fish weigh more than ten kilograms each, and together with the one in front, they weigh more than forty kilograms today.

It’s only a little after nine o’clock now.

Everyone was laughing and chatting for a while, and they were all very excited. They had caught a lot of fish in such a short time.

Not only Qin Dahe, but others were also catching fish, it was so cool.

"Ever since I started fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, I haven't had the energy to fish for crucian carp or bream anymore."

"Yeah, even the eight-jin silver carp and bighead carp are working really hard, haha."

Qin Dahe smiled slightly. He didn't like fishing for small fish either. The original intention of making silver carp and bighead carp bait was to make it easier for him to fish.

The morning time quickly came to eleven o'clock. Qin Dahe was currently in first place, weighing about fifty kilograms.

Later we caught four more, so seven fish in the morning was pretty good.

Of course, these fish are relatively small, and I have never seen one weighing 20 kilograms.

He was preparing to eat dry food at noon when an old man named Yang started asking everyone what they wanted to eat. Qin Dahe stepped forward curiously to ask.

It turned out that they owned a restaurant and provided lunch delivery service at noon. A box lunch of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish was delivered to the shore for five yuan.

We can also help deliver cigarettes, alcohol and other things, and they can be brought over quickly by riding a tricycle.

"What are the meat dishes?"

"Today's lunch is braised pork with potatoes, grass carp cubes, and braised chicken with pickles. The vegetarian dishes are random."

"Give me one portion. I want braised pork with potatoes and braised chicken with pickles." I handed over the money, and they counted it and went up.

Although the price is a bit expensive, the door-to-door delivery really appeals to the fishermen.

When the fishing is good, no one wants to waste time buying food.

Qin Dahe had been staring at the river for a whole day. When fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, one must watch the float and be ready to take the bait as soon as there is any movement. His eyes were a little sore at this time.

Fortunately, he had a stand, and when he was not moving, he would put it on the stand and wait.

Gangzi's fishing situation is pretty good today, and they can find the nest downstream.

While Qin Dahe was taking a sip of water, the phone rang.

Another person is here to order bait from Sichuan Province.

Qin Dahe mentioned the price, confirmed that the other party was also a fishing tackle store, and then began to give the address.

The goods can only be shipped after the money order arrives, and the order is recorded in the phone book.

"Boss Qin's silver carp and bighead carp bait has been sold to other provinces." Gangzi said enviously.

"Haha, friends from other provinces also have needs. Currently, there are people wanting from both upstream and downstream of the Yangtze River."

"awesome."

He chuckled and took another sip of water. The fish's bite was not obvious at this time, so he was too lazy to stare at it. He lit a cigarette and smoked it happily.

The most comfortable people today should be the anglers in the middle, as they are biting the fish better.

Qin Dahe was at the bottom because he had a threesome, otherwise he would probably be at the bottom now. The fish he caught today was really too small.

There are even some young silver carp and bighead carp, but these fish cannot be sold at a good price and can only be kept as livestock.

After a while, lunch was served.

The five-dollar fast food was not bad, definitely better than the bread he had.

"Lao Yang, your pickled vegetable and roast chicken tastes like karaoke." He gave a thumbs up, it was really delicious.

"Haha, I must cook better food for everyone." The old man was quite happy to hear the compliment.

Everyone praised it, saying that it not only saved time but also tasted good, and it was well worth the five dollars.

While we were eating, a fellow angler's rod flew out.

"Oh my god, I caught a fish." He put down his meal and was about to go to the river.

The people nearby hurriedly pulled him back, he was really desperate.

"Waizi, it's not worth it to go into the water. The water in Yuxi River is strong today and it's deep here." Qin Dahe also started to persuade him.

I watched Waizi's fishing rod go farther and farther away, slanted into the water, and slowly went upstream.

"Fuck you, I only caught two this morning," Waizi said tearfully. "I only brought one rod with me today. I'm really going out to meet a ghost."

Generally, a qualified angler needs to have at least four or five rods, with different lengths and tones to suit different fishing conditions.
