Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 408: One Fish Opens the Gate to Heaven (asking for monthly tickets)

After arriving on the island, he called home on his cell phone.

While reporting safety, I also checked the signal quality.

If you are left in the middle of the lake and no one comes to pick you up, it will be a waste of time, even though you can swim back.

"Tie the hook and get to work."

"Start fishing."

The four of them were very excited. It had been a long time since Hanwa had caught a big blue carp. The last time he caught a big fish, he was the one who drove the boat after it.

After tying the sub-line, I started to pull the float. The distance was fifteen meters and the water was seven meters deep. It was still fun because the road was slippery, but it took a little effort to cast the fish.

It cannot swing out, it has to be scooped out with a nesting spoon.

But if there is a float, you can catch it without having to wait for the bell to ring.

Hu San and Xiao Yu just used two rods to fish. Each of them brought two rods.

The baiting is also quite particular. Smash the raw snail to make a crack in it, then hang the snail meat on one hook and the snail meat marinated with fruit flavoring on the other hook.

The two rods were quickly ready.

With twin lines, it’s equivalent to each person throwing four baits into the water, so the chances of catching herring are quite high.

Qin Dahe's side is troublesome. After he and Hanwaer are done, they have to adjust the float near the water first.

Snails are very heavy. After hanging the hook, adjust it to level water, that is, the float just floats on the water surface.

When you go fishing later, just put the hook under the snail and it will touch the bottom, as long as more than two eyes are exposed.

Qin Dahe couldn't guarantee that he could throw the bait to the same spot continuously when using a bait spoon to throw the bait at a distance of fifteen meters.

The difficulty in adjusting the float when fishing in the wild lies in the fact that the wild river is not a black pit and the bottom of the water is uneven.

He suffered a loss when he first started wild fishing, but now he has mastered the method.

Then pull the float to the seven-meter position, release the wheel, and throw it out.

After going back and forth several times, he stopped when the water depth was about 7.6 meters and only three eyes were visible.

The same thing happened to Hanwaer. Just to play on the slippery road in the seven-meter-deep water, the two of them used three poles to search for the bottom for fifteen minutes before they figured it out.

"Teacher Dahe, you're awesome." Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up. 15+7, it's awesome to be able to find the bottom line.

"Just call me Dahe. We don't need to be so polite offline." He took out the black pine and distributed it to everyone. He lit a delicious drink and took a deep breath. It felt so good.

The moment the bait is thrown and all preparations for fishing are done, the fisherman is most excited.

The anticipation is at its peak, and no one knows when the next fish will come, or even if it will come at all.

But it doesn’t matter, what matters is the process of waiting for the fish to be caught.

"Brother San, sit down. Don't be in a hurry. Let's brag for a while." He said to Hu San.

"coming."

The four of them gathered together. There was a bell over there that would notify them when a fish was caught.

Among those present, only Hu San is older, and of course, he is also the darkest. There is no white fisherman.

"Xiao Yu, have you ever fished in Taihu Lake? How was it?" he asked curiously.

The next stop will be Hubei, probably in May. Taihu Lake will be open in July or August, and then we can go night fishing for silver carp and bighead carp.

"Taihu Lake has abundant resources." Xiaoyu became more excited when talking about Taihu Lake.

"Just use your silver carp and bighead carp bait. The most I ever caught was 180 kilograms in one day." He raised a finger and said solemnly.

This was his most glorious moment. When he asked the fish stall owner to collect the fish, he became a legend in one fell swoop and became famous in the local area.

One hundred and eighty kilograms a day was something I couldn’t even imagine before, but now that we have special baits for silver carp and bighead carp, we have this opportunity.

"Your bait is really awesome. I caught more than 80 kilograms of fish last time." Hu San echoed.

The fundamental reason why anglers like to praise Qin Dahe is the silver carp and bighead carp bait. As long as there are enough resources, it is not difficult to catch hundreds of kilograms a day.

Moreover, few people use batteries to fish with electricity now. There is no shortage of resources, and the Yuxi River cannot compare to Taihu Lake, let alone Hubei.

It can even be said that the resources of the Yangtze River are not as good as those of these tributaries and large freshwater lakes because there are too many fishermen in the Yangtze River.

"One hundred and eighty kilograms per person, that's a lot." Silly kid said enviously, he was a little surprised.

The four brothers copied each other's fishing, and at the peak of their careers at the gate, they only caught about 700 kilograms, which was less than Xiaoyu's average weight.

"Haha, when the fishing season comes over here, there are huge swarms of silver carp and bighead carp, as well as other fish. I wonder how many fish those fishing companies catch every year."

Qin Dahe sighed. With such good resources, he didn't even have an agent nearby. What a failure.

Xiao Yu is from Wuxi, and he gets his bait from Lao Xu, who delivers it directly to him.

This is basically the case for anglers near Taihu Lake. They first call him to buy bait, and then are pushed to Lao Xu to buy it online.

Information was limited, and not all tackle shop owners had access to the internet. Some might not even have heard of bait. The fishing community wasn't as formidable as it was in later generations, and communication within their circle was rare.

"Xiao Yu, go back and help promote the bait. Taihu Lake has such great resources, but I don't even have a fishing tackle store owner to cooperate with." He said with a wry smile.

"Okay, when I get back I'll ask someone to buy bait from those bosses." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

If there is demand, the bosses will naturally think about purchasing.

At this time, the phone rang. After Qin Dahe answered it, it was Da Liu on the other end calling.

There's a fish over there, a black carp weighing about 30 kilograms, swimming around.

From a distance, a figure was running back and forth on the edge of the island with a fishing rod on his head.

"Ce, you're so lucky."

A 30-jin black carp must feel great to hold.

"Haha, don't worry."

Xiaoyu and the others saw fish being caught on the opposite side, chatted for a while, and then went to guard their own fishing rods.

The same goes for Qin Dahe. He needs to keep an eye on the float all the time, so he can't chat all the time.

Their floats were handmade by Hanwaer, and the tail of the float was made of thick ballpoint pen refills painted with fluorescent paint, which made it very eye-catching and could be seen clearly from fifteen meters away.

He also tied a fishing line with pure gold and used it to catch small fish for fun.

On the first day, don’t rush to adjust the bait for silver carp and bighead carp, just see how it goes.

I fished with a 3.6-meter hand rod without making a nest, for fear of attracting too many small fish and scaring the big black carp.

I just opened a commercial bait and threw it down. It didn’t matter whether I caught any fish or not. I kept my eyes on the grass carp float in the distance.

Suddenly, something caught his eye on the sea rod, and he threw the pure gold fishing rod aside and started to catch fish.

It was too far away to stab, so I could only spin the spinning wheel frantically.

I had just reeled in two meters of fishing line when I felt a sinking feeling in my hand. It turned out to be a big fish.

"Here I come." He exclaimed softly and started walking back.

The sea rod is not afraid of breaking, and the fishing line is very strong, so it can be reeled in directly with force.

The silly kid tacitly waited with the scoop net in hand, because the eldest brother usually didn't wait to fish the first fish.

"One hook opens the sky gate, get up!" Qin Dahe roared, using his belly to support a handful of knots, and leaning his body back to force the fish to float to the surface.

Soon, a big blue carp was dragged directly onto the beach, leaving Xiaoyu and the others stunned.

"It's a black carp weighing more than 20 kilograms. This is the first time I've seen someone catch such a big fish." Hu San was shocked.

"Haha, last time when I was fishing in a loach nest, a black carp weighing eight or nine kilograms flew over directly." He said proudly.

What a good start! This fish weighs at least 20 kilograms and I got it for 400 to 500 yuan.

Jinniu Lake has really good resources.

"Eight or nine pounds, just fly directly?"

"Well, the fish in the loach nest are very active, just like smoking a small white strip. There is no time to waste." He said proudly.

The silly boy protected the fish, then put on the bait and continued to search for the bottom. He knew that his elder brother didn't like to work during his peak moments.

Qin Dahe excitedly recounted his experience of fishing in a loach nest in the Yangtze River.

They had seen the photos online before, but only after hearing him talk about it did they realize how exaggerated they were.

"Fuck, eight or nine pounds of fish are being treated like white strips."

"Haha, when I was at my most frenzied, I caught 70 to 80 kilograms of fish in an hour. They were all black carp, catfish, and black bass."

Of course, fly fishing is fun, and the rod tips often break. At that time, we were just racing against time, so we didn’t care about the fish that escaped.

After blowing a few words, he picked up the pure gold method, put on a commercial bait and continued to cast the hook.

A big fish was caught. Even though it was not the 200-jin grass carp I was aiming for, I felt completely refreshed and even took the opportunity to show off.

The silly kid stared at the lake with bright eyes. He could get one third of a fish. He had earned more than a hundred yuan just now. It was still more promising to follow his big brother.

She thought of him for all the good things, and even told him about going out to dig for gold with Erhu and the others afterwards.

For the next hour or so, there was no movement on either side, even the pure gold fishing rod did not make any noise.

I don’t know if the giant bluefin bream has entered its nest. It’s so far away that I can’t see it even if there is a fishy smell.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only two fish on both sides.

Suddenly, the pure gold method moved slightly, and Qin Dahe shook his hand and stabbed the fish.

The sound of cutting through water was heard, and because the fishing rod was relatively soft, it felt quite good.
