Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 464: Copying a set of equipment, the atmosphere is warm
Several people also talked about the fishing academy in detail. It is a unique thing in the country and cannot be found anywhere else.

I heard it is in Dongxihu District, but Qin Dahe didn’t think of going to see it.

To be honest, as a fisherman, I really hate the idea of becoming an apprentice.

It would be nice if we could exchange experiences and techniques with each other, share baits, and have fun fishing together.

Even if they want to hype it up, they can use gimmicks like competitions, giants, black pits, etc.

There are many ways to do this, but it makes me feel uncomfortable to ask a group of men in their thirties and forties to become apprentices and call them "master" or "uncle-master".

After catching two silver carp and bighead carp here, he figured the water over there should be calmer, so he called Erhu to help him cast the bait.

I caught another fish before going back. It was already a little after eleven o'clock.

"I'm treating you to lunch today. If you don't want to go back, raise your hands. We'll give you plenty of lunch boxes."

"Haha, let me eat one."

"I also want."

When they heard someone was treating them to a box lunch, everyone was quite happy to do so as it wouldn't interfere with their fishing trip. Even the trio raised their hands.

"Brother Fu, Erhu, can you two help buy fifty boxed lunches?" He had to continue fishing, and he couldn't waste even a second if he wanted to get the river crown.

It would be impossible to get fifty lunch boxes without driving, and among them, only Brother Fu has a driver's license.

"Row."

"Remember to buy something better, and bring four packs of soda." As he said that, he handed over five hundred yuan, which was more than enough according to the prices in Wuhan.

While the two of them went to buy food, he directly occupied Brother Fu's nest and started fishing.

Now there are eleven silver carp, bighead carp and one mandarin fish, which should be about 100 kilograms. At present, except for Hanwaer, he is basically leading the whole field.

It just came off the hook twice and went tangent once, which was a bit annoying.

"Kid, I estimate you weigh about 150 pounds today, right?" It has been four and a half hours from seven o'clock to eleven thirty.

"No, maybe one hundred and twenty or three hundred." The kid smiled innocently, very satisfied with today's catch.

The three of them received a lot of food, lodging and salary increases, so he wanted to catch more fish and help his elder brother make money.

"awesome."

Another black drift came, "Swoosh!"

Five minutes later, a silver carp weighing more than seven kilograms came ashore.

The average weight of the fish today was a little off, and there were nine-meter fishing rods around, which stopped the big fish.

The bigger the fish, the more vigilant they are. They will regard deep water as a retreat, so they will feed on the periphery.

Someone caught a big fish this morning on the other side of the bay, a 30-jin silver carp.

At least 100 kilograms of bait were consumed at the riverside this morning. This is why all fishing gear manufacturers in later generations vigorously promoted silver carp and bighead carp bait.

The strong bites are good for the show, and the baits are sold out quickly. It is not excessive for a fisherman to use ten kilograms of bait a day.

Qin Dahe also thought so. If the price drops and people get used to fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, they will only sell more in the future.

The current imitation bait has already had some prototypes. After the flavor is adjusted twice, the effect will not be much different from his bait.

These manufacturers had wanted to buy his formula for a long time, but he was unwilling to sell it.

It’s no use sending someone to inquire about the recipe, because the production address of his bait is a natural village.

Going to other places and local villages to develop formulas is very risky and no one dares to do it.

"It's time to eat, everyone. There's something for everyone." Seeing the car coming back, Qin Dahe immediately greeted everyone.

He also brought over the worn snakeskin bag that he had just fished out, so that he could throw it away in the trash after he was done eating.

After hearing this, everyone started to put away their clubs, and they were all very tired.

The standard configuration for fishing silver carp and bighead carp is now 7.2 meters. Pure carbon rods are too brittle to use, so composite materials have to be used. A fishing rod weighs nearly two kilograms, and no one’s hands will not be sore after half a day of fishing.

"One box for each person. I bought six extra boxes. Just let me know if it's not enough." He didn't care whether he knew them or not, he just gave them to everyone he saw.

Including the bait for the morning, in the end, even those local unfamiliar fishing friends were given a bag.

This time I came here to expand the market.

The lunch box costs 2.5 yuan, and includes a chicken leg, braised fish fillet, and cold cucumber salad.

With enough oil and water, everyone enjoys the delicious food.

A few fishing friends went home to eat, and the leftover fish ended up in the stomachs of big eaters like Hanwaer, so nothing was wasted.

After eating, Qin Dahe called everyone together to brag.

To be honest, with so many adult men gathered together, I guess only a group of anglers could pull it off.

Any other unregistered activities will be dispersed by the police station.

He gave out two packs of cigarettes to each person, and while smoking, he explained to everyone some tips on fishing for silver carp and bighead carp.

First take out your fishing line, "Do you see this cotton?"

"Whether it's silver carp or bighead carp, they all suck bait in. Adding cotton makes it easier for them to be sucked in."

After showing everyone the bait, he began explaining how to prepare the bait. "The bait must be shaken loose so it stays in better condition underwater."

"The flavor is more sour and smelly. There's nothing wrong with my bait, but in this kind of clear water lake, it would be better if you add some stinky vegetable water to your bait."

"That's true. When I first started buying silver carp and bighead carp bait, they gave me some stinky vegetable water."

Qin Dahe nodded. This was an old customer. When he first started selling, because the flavor was not strong enough, he asked the fishing tackle store to provide stinky vegetable water to increase the flavor.

Now I have to control the flavor and dare not add too much.

"Just add the amount of three mineral water bottle caps to two kilograms of bait. Don't add more." He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly.

There are more than a dozen netizens here today, so I have to come up with some useful information.

The others were also listening with great interest. Fishing for silver carp and bighead carp is really fun, and the more you can learn, the better.

Then he started talking about various things such as temperature, floating patterns, habits, etc.

As for finding resources, there is no need to humiliate ourselves. There is really no shortage of resources here.

Damn, it was going crazy in Han River yesterday and it was going crazy in Donghu Lake again today.

I heard that Liangzi Lake and Honghu Lake have more resources, and there are also various large and small lakes and water systems, which is really enviable.

"Teacher Dahe, can you please sell me your fishing rod?"

"That's right, it's really fun to play with a nine-meter pole."

"And that fishing platform, help me build one too."

Qin Dahe: “.”

Fishermen have a really strong demand for equipment. I was asked about it all the way yesterday.

"The fishing rods are custom made, and the price is already four thousand. If you really want to play, please contact me and I'll take you with me in the next batch."

"As for the fishing platform, I'll find a factory to make it, but it's definitely not cheap."

The price of light steel has never been low, and aluminum alloy is even more expensive.

According to current materials, the material cost of a qualified fishing platform alone is as high as one hundred and twenty yuan.

It also needs to be designed and processed, and it needs to be sold for more than 200 yuan.

He planned to investigate the market, then draw his own drawings and find a machine processing factory to customize a batch for sale.

The netizens who were able to come here today all had some money. They were overjoyed when they heard the words and immediately started discussing what equipment to add.

"We can sell heavy floats. The ones we make ourselves are not easy to use. The ones produced by fishing tackle stores are too thin." The mainstream now is still the thin-tail float, which is not clear at a distance of 7.2 meters, and it will make you dizzy after a long time.

Taiwan fishing has only been around for a few years, and domestic fishing tackle factories are still learning from others.

“And this telescopic bench is also useful.”

Qin Dahe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when listening to what everyone said. They were going to copy his own set of equipment.

"The specific production will depend on market demand. I'll make a batch and store it in Wuhan. You can try it out and tell me if there are any flaws."

There are huge restrictions on materials nowadays, and many things are difficult to mass-produce due to cost issues. It’s not something he can make just because he wants to.

For example, a fishing box must be able to support an adult sitting on it without being too heavy and having storage capacity.

In addition to being waterproof and anti-corrosive, it also needs to keep warm, and holes need to be opened to add various hanging parts, which is simply not possible with ordinary materials.

He planned to use plastic steel material and foam rubber for the insulation layer, but he couldn't find a suitable factory.

No one was in a hurry to go fishing. More than 40 people gathered together and boasted excitedly.

"You guys can also tell me some fishing tips, I don't believe there are any."

"Yes, let me tell you about finding fish." A fishing friend took a sip of soda to clear his throat and began to talk about how he found big fish.

"In small structural areas like fallen trees, most of the fish are small, and the bigger fish, especially black bass and sea bass, are feeding not far out."

Another angler immediately chimed in. "There are also deep-water structure areas where mandarin fish are easy to find, just like the snakeskin bag that Mr. Dahe pulled up."

"It's not the same in the Han and Yangtze Rivers. We have to destroy loach nests several times a year, and all the predatory fish are gone."

"And there's bait. The dried peanuts I gave to Mr. Dahe last time are perfect for catching carp."

"We're fishing for silver carp and bighead carp today. There must be carp lurking at the bottom of the water. I can even smell the fishy smell."

A group of people were talking excitedly about their fishing experiences. Many of them took out paper and pen to start taking notes, and Qin Dahe also took out a small notebook.

This little notebook is used to record orders and phone calls. I'm using it as a notebook today.

Everyone was in high spirits and talked about practical matters, with excitement in their eyes.

This kind of opportunity to show off your power in front of others does not always come around.

The anglers from the three fishing tackle manufacturers were also listening carefully. Even the master-apprentice circle might not teach so much.

The atmosphere of this on-site communication was very lively and it didn't end until half past twelve when everyone returned to their respective fishing spots.

The main purpose is still fishing. The fish are biting well today, so we can't delay.
