Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 371 Fishing in the Winter

Since there are still eight points of shares that no one has claimed, Qin Dahe is not in a hurry.

His fish fry will be available soon. It costs a lot of money to buy fish and crab fry.

Fortunately, the renovation of all the fish ponds has been completed and the water level has risen by half.

The road above the levee was finally cleared, and cars could run back and forth without any hindrance.

But the snow is still piling up. It is cold before the frost and colder after the snow. Now the daytime temperature has dropped to two or three degrees below zero.

That morning, he drove the bait to his elder sister's place, and when his grandfather delivered the fish, he would just drop the bait off at SF Express.

Seventy kilograms of commercial bait and thirty kilograms of secret bait were sent to Jinling.

I have already negotiated with the boss of SF Express. Now that it is the off-season, they will reduce the price to help him ship the goods. We just have to wait for the summer peak season.

Always waiting for Scar's fish truck will delay things. When Jiuzi arrives in Jinling, SF Express will deliver the goods directly that afternoon.

The secret nesting material is corn crumbs, millet and some pig feed essence, soaked in alcohol to increase its penetrating power.

The local anglers all said it was good after using it, but Qin Dahe himself hadn't tried it yet. This time he also sent it over at a low price to verify the bait.

Or maybe the fisherman is just resistant to cold. He went to the Internet cafe and surfed the Internet for a while. There were a lot of topics about fishing on the forum.

People in the north are digging holes for ice fishing, and anglers in the Yangtze River Basin in Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces are also not idle.

Use a brazier to make a hole directly, and then catch big crucian carp.

I post all kinds of photos of my catch on the forum and treat it as my circle of friends.

Qin Dahe also felt itchy when he saw it. It should be possible to fish in the hole now, right?
The Yuxi River is definitely not an option. The wind is too strong and you will really freeze to death if you sit there for a whole day.

He was thinking, should he try going to Ligezhuang?
The thought of fishing makes me excited. I will go fishing in the afternoon. It shouldn’t be so cold with the sun.

I first chatted with everyone in the QQ group for a while, and talked with several fishing tackle store owners about the performance of baits from different places.

He even bought someone's secret crucian carp bait. If it was useful, he would pay for the recipe.

I am not omnipotent, so it is normal that some secret baits are better than commercial baits.

The advantage of commercial bait is its versatility. In order to increase sales areas, the secret baits from different places must be more practical locally.

Then I stole the pictures and posted them on my own forum account, but I didn’t have any materials in the middle of winter.

My strategy is to take more photos next time I catch a big fish and post them one by one.

Chatting with netizens is always a joyful time. Fishermen from all over the world share their catches and fishing techniques, which is rare in this era.

Just like Douyin’s short videos, although Fishing Man is not a popular hobby, it has a high level of attention from the fan base.

Many bloggers can make a living by using the shared bikes even if they only have tens of thousands of followers, which is much better than other industries.

By half past ten, more and more people were entering the Internet cafe, and the smell of cigarettes was overwhelming.

In today's Internet cafes, half of the people are playing CS and the other half are playing Legend.

After the internet speed was completely improved, business improved visibly and the restaurant was full in the morning.

There was a little kid standing behind him, waiting for him to get off the plane.

Qin Dahe was at a loss for words. He had almost finished chatting, so he gave up his seat to someone else.

Even if he were asked to play Legend, he wouldn't have the heart to do so. It's okay to reminisce about youth, but forget about actually playing it.

After returning home, I immediately prepared bait and called Erhu and the others.

As a result, everyone was free and agreed to go fishing in the afternoon.

The kids are all free. There will be a big market in Shijian tomorrow, so they can take a break today.

After dinner, the four brothers gathered in his yard and started cutting bamboo poles with great enthusiasm.

Qin Dahe naturally used the pure gold method. Such an expensive fishing rod should be used more often.

"You guys have nothing to do after eating. The water outside is freezing. Don't catch a cold." Yanyan's head hurt when she went out because of the cold.

She couldn't stay still when the wind blew, and there were actually people going out fishing.

"What do you know? I looked it up online. It's over 20 degrees below zero in the north, and there are still people fishing in ice holes."

"You're the only one who knows how to surf the Internet. I'll leave the kids to you at night." She glared at her man unhappily.

What should I do if I catch a cold and pass it on to my child?
But Qin Dahe made his fortune by fishing, so she didn't say much.

The four brothers naturally didn't care and were still packing their things.

Today is not a formal fishing day. Whoever catches something gets it. No one brought a fishing platform.

Just a telescopic bench and a fishing rod, with bait and nesting materials all placed in a plastic bag inside a red bucket. There is no fish guard, as fishing for big fish in winter is not possible and it is a waste to use a fish guard.

The group got on the car and went down the big ridge on the Ligezhuang side. The fields were extremely empty at this time, and there were no crops to be seen, only some dry corn stalks.

The weather is cold this year, so the rape flowers are sprouting later than in previous years.

We found a place to break the ice and selected several fishing spots.

Fish gather in groups in winter, so you need to find more fishing spots to have a chance of catching fish.

After preparing the bait, his hands were so frozen that he quickly put them into the chicken coop to warm them up before he felt more comfortable.

In this horrible weather, only the chicken coop is warm, so frozen eggs don’t matter.

"Damn it, I'll go to the car to get gloves." Otherwise I'll have to suffer when I put on the bait later.

Silly kid started throwing out the bait, which was the secret bait sold by Qin Dahe. He experimented with it today.

He took the leather gloves from the car and felt better after putting them on.

Then he took out a cigarette and passed it out to everyone, then lit it up and took a deep breath.

The cold air along with the smoke entered the lungs and everyone woke up.

"Dahe, does the bait need to stay awake for a longer time in winter?" Today, everyone prepared their own bait, and Erhu was also very cold.

"Well, wake up for about ten minutes before kneading and beating."

Now I am just waiting for the roosting of eggs. I can’t sit on the bench any more, so I have to walk around everywhere.

Seeing the withered reeds nearby, they simply started to set fire to them.

Soon, flames shot up into the sky, shining red on people's faces and making their bodies feel much warmer.

"Ce, you are so bored." Although they said so, everyone still gathered around the fire. It was really cold.

They did a lot of burning reed marshes when they were young.

"Haha, do I hold it?" Qin Dahe proudly stamped out his cigarette butt and looked at the fire with great satisfaction.

It’s great that no one cares now. If they want to set a fire, they can set one.

The fire was out in just over ten minutes. The reeds themselves were not able to withstand the fire, and the ice on the water surface melted, leaving only a large black ruin.

The wind started to blow and it became cold again, so a few people went back to prepare for fishing.

I just made a fire and my body is a little warmer, so the bait doesn’t feel so cold when I touch it.

I simply pulled a bait and cast it accurately to the fishing spot. The feeling when using a fishing rod worth tens of thousands of dollars is different.

The thin-tail float stood up quickly. After trying twice, I found that the water depth of this fishing hole was about 1.2 meters, which was a bit shallow.

However, in winter, the fishing situation is unpredictable and the depth does not matter.

After casting several times without any movement, he knew there were no fish at that spot, so he tried another one.

Tiedan has already caught a fish, a big crucian carp with very smooth fur, weighing more than half a pound.

"Damn, I'm so lucky."

"Bullshit, I'm just good at it, hey."

In the minds of fishermen, if others catch more fish, it's because they are lucky, and if they catch more fish, it's because they have high skills. It's very hypocritical.

I changed the fishing hole and just went into the water but haven’t reached the bottom yet. I saw a connection.

"Ce, are there still whitebait in such a cold day?" The whitebait was quite big, just over one or two pounds.

I put the fish away in frustration and continued casting. I didn't know what would happen today. It would be nice if I caught some whitebait.

"Haha, I've already caught two big crucian carp and some wheat ears." Erhu chuckled, lit a cigarette and started smoking happily.

There is a pregnant woman at home, and no amount of big crucian carp will be enough.

Now, whatever big crucian carp that Waer catches is kept for Erhu, and selling it to him at the market price is considered a favor.

The large crucian carp from Yuxi River is extremely popular.

Qin Dahe sighed. What kind of hairy fish is this? He caught three whitebait in a row.

Even a fish head that was not even bigger than the hook was caught by the anchor. It was outrageous.

He had been fishing for a long time without any response. He was about to lift the rod to change bait when suddenly there was a big bend.
