Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 44 Preparing a Fishing Spot
The gate is about three miles away from his home, and it only takes a short drive to get there. If you walk there, it will take less than half an hour.

As soon as it was light in the morning, the father and son packed up their fishing gear, and the silly boy was already waiting for them on the road.

"Dad, send us over first, and then you can come back to receive the guests."

"Okay." Father Qin frowned? Receive guests? Little Pig Cedi really can't speak, Ce that.

This time he also brought fried noodles. My mother was going to the fields, and he put the noodles in his arms because the dog was barking pitifully.

The little guy lay quietly in his arms, licking his palm from time to time, with a fierce look between his eyebrows.

There were quite a few things on the tricycle at this time, including two glass poles and two prepared bamboo poles as spares.

Two large fish baskets, two large scoop nets, a folding stool, a shovel, and several Y-shaped branches.

The glass rod is too heavy, so you must make a bracket, otherwise your wrist will be disabled after a long time.

Bring all the bait with you. Ten kilograms of bait can produce sixteen kilograms, which cannot be used up in a day.

When they arrived at the gate, they were busy for a while before taking all the things down. Qin's father reluctantly went to drive the tricycle.

As the name suggests, the sluice gate is a large gate that directly cuts off a tributary of the Yuxi River.

Behind it is a reservoir that supplies tap water to the town. It seems that tap water in the rural area will not be available for another five or six years.

Both sides of the sluice are covered with weeds, shrubs and rows of large trees on the roadside. Early in the morning, you can see people grazing cattle here, and there are people grazing sheep on the opposite bank.

At this time, there was a bicycle and a motorcycle parked on the side of the road, but it was unknown who they belonged to.

Qin Dahe went to the workstation specifically to show his scoop net and fish basket to the other party, but he didn't come there to set the net.

Although there is no fishery administration now, it would be bad if people acted arrogantly and conflicts arose.

You won't suffer any loss, but it's better to avoid trouble if possible.

Then we walked down along the path trampled by a fisherman.

Because of the dense trees, it was impossible to see from above whether there was anyone below.

When he went down, there were already two people there. Fishermen who want to catch fish early are diligent.

"Sixth Uncle." He walked forward helplessly and greeted him. He was an acquaintance.

Because silver carp and bighead carp often float to the surface at Dazha, many people come here with corn to try their luck, but at most they can only catch two fish, so it is very difficult to catch them.

"Dahe, let's go fishing here today." Uncle Liu couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw the two men's equipment.

This guy brought a lot of things last time he went fishing, so he was silenced. This time he brought even more.

"Well, my dad came over after he finished running the car, hehe."

Then the two of them began to choose a location. There was a big slope behind them that blocked their shadows, so they just had to choose the tip of the shore.

The farther away you are when fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, the better. However, the best spot was occupied by Uncle Liu, so he could only go to a shorter tippy-top spot on the side.

This time, because the rod was long, he chose a place with a larger open space to make it easier to fish.

It would be nice to have a big tree up there to provide shade, but it would make it easy for the line to get caught, and he couldn't afford to lose his current fishing float.

The silly kid was shoveling the soil to prepare the fishing spot, which made Uncle Six sweat all over his forehead.

Cena, it’s such a big fuss just to catch a fish.

Qin Dahe was assembling the fishing line and fishing rod. The moment he pulled out the 7.2-meter-long rod, his sixth uncle and the strange old man next door were stunned.

Is it really necessary to be so professional? How far can you fish with such a long rod?
After Hanwaer had adjusted his fishing spot, he began to adjust the float and find the bottom.

I found the bottom was nowhere to be found, and estimated it to be at least ten meters deep. So I fished from two to two and a half meters away, and if the bite was weak, I'd go deeper. The water didn't flow through the sluice gate, so I could fish from the surface. The other sections of the river were completely unsuitable for catching silver carp and bighead carp.

Wait for the kid to finish preparing the fishing spot, then drive the piles and install the bracket, and put the fishing rod on it.

This time, two people were drawing one nest. Fishing for silver carp and bighead carp requires strength in numbers. If a row of people were drawing on the shore, it would be possible for everyone to catch fish together because they would all be attracted.

"Kid, drink some water and take a rest first." He shouted. The sun had already come out and the two of them were sweating from being so busy.

The 7.2-meter rod was extremely heavy, and it took me six or seven casts to adjust the float and find the bottom.

"Yeah." Silly boy put the bench away, and the two of them were no longer in a hurry.

They all knew that it was not good to eat breakfast in the early autumn. Unlike Uncle Liu and the others, they were simply addicted and still went to eat breakfast even though they knew it was not good to eat breakfast.

"Wang Wang Wang!" Chaomian looked at him pitifully.

"Ce, I forgot about you. Didn't you have breakfast?" Qin Dahe hugged the dog in his arms.

The family ate a casual meal this morning, and it seemed like they forgot about the dog. It seems like they haven't gotten used to having a dog at home yet.

The food my dad will bring later will probably only be enough for three people. Damn it. Seeing the bait next to him, his eyes lit up.

The fisherman's bait is eaten by all animals except fish.

His silver carp and bighead carp bait contains all the good stuff, including fried cornmeal and bran powder, and salt.

There is no need to use stinky vegetable water as bait at this time, so it can be used to feed the dog.

He picked up the bait basin, took two handfuls, added some river water and started cooking.

"Don't be impatient. If you eat porridge instead of dry food, you will choke to death." He pushed away the anxious dog.

I wanted to see the state of the bait, so the dog jumped directly into the bowl and started eating.

"So small." The silly kid grinned at the dog.

He has wanted to have a dog since he was a child, but there was not enough food at home for the people to eat, so where would he get the leftovers to feed the dog?

"Kid, help me find two cats later. Orange ones are better." He turned around and said, "Orange ones are fatter and more fun."

"Yeah." The silly kid nodded.

In rural areas, it is easy to find cat and dog puppies because they do not perform sterilization.

Because I suffered a loss last time and even a pot of water was not enough to drink, I brought a kettle this time.

Qin Dahe picked up a long shovel and started digging a simple stove. He picked up some dead branches on the ground as fuel, drew some river water and started boiling water.

The water boiled, and the two drank it happily. Qin Dahe picked up a red plum and lit it, looking so cool.

The two fishermen next to them were speechless. They had been busy for forty or fifty minutes, but their fishing rods were still not baited. Should they cook noodles next?
"Stop eating. You'll die of overeating if you eat any more." Qin Dahe looked at his round belly filled with fried noodles and moved away helplessly.

Silver carp and bighead carp bait will swell when it absorbs water. Just now, the dog ate it and got a full belly before it had absorbed all the water. Don’t overeat.

He did not waste the remaining bait and added it directly into the bait.

Based on his experience of catching silver carp and bighead carp in his previous life, he added a cup and a half of stinky vegetable water to half a basin of bait. The sour and stinky smell made people want to vomit.

This is the bait, which is drier and looser in the early stage. He is too lazy to use a glass rod to adjust the frequency, so he plans to directly pinch the bait and throw it into the water.

He set up the fish basket, filled the water for washing hands, and set up the landing net. Uncle Six looked at his movements with a slightly frustrated look. Was he so confident he would definitely catch a fish? If he came up empty-handed, all the work would have been in vain.

After the bait was ready, he cast the rod again to find a location. After determining the nesting spot, he and Hanwaer officially began to pinch the bait and make the nest.
