Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 78 Sub-line Block
There were still no fish caught in the afternoon, but Hanwaer started to bite, very lightly, so lightly that Erhu next to him didn't even notice.

The silly kid stared at the float intently. It was drifting a little bit with the water. Many people would think that this light drift was caused by the water flow, but the silly kid had a feeling that the big fish was going to take the bait and it was just testing it.

It is difficult to catch big fish in this season and there are few fish biting, so he prepared to spear fish.

Suddenly, there was a small pause, and he immediately stabbed the fish.

"call out!"

"Beautiful, the kid is really awesome." Erhu realized it belatedly and started to praise. The two of them had floats very close to each other and were fishing in the same nest. He didn't even notice when the fish came.

Tiedan looked at Hanwaer with envy. He had come up empty-handed all day and couldn't even see any fish bites.

Qin Dahe sighed. His wild fishing skills were not very good. He relied solely on equipment and bait. Now he also imitated the silly kid, sitting steadily and teasing the bait from time to time.

After thinking about it, he changed to mulberry fruit. The water temperature was rising now, and the grass carp's desire to bite was probably better.

He cast the rod and put it into the water, but the float hadn't completely gone down when he suddenly got a big bite that startled him. Finally, a fish came. Oh my god.

I knew it was a grass carp just by the feel, so I started fishing again.

"Oh, a carp! This carp must weigh about seven or eight kilograms." Erhu said enviously, and at the same time put down the pole and started to help the silly kid scoop up the fish.

After the grass carp comes ashore, he will hang another mulberry fruit into the water. After catching the turtle, he will naturally continue his efforts.

"Dahe, are you fishing at the bottom or floating?" Tiedan asked depressedly.

"Well, we have to stay at the bottom. The water temperature in the upper layer fluctuates greatly, which makes it difficult to deal with."

Seeing this, he followed Qin Dahe's example and used mulberry fruit to guard the bottom. The fish were not biting well today, so everyone could use whatever bait they wanted in the afternoon, as long as they didn't come back empty-handed.

What was more surprising was that Erhu started to catch bream one after another after hanging corn, and even caught two breams at once.

"How much corn did you catch?" Qin Dahe asked in confusion. The fact that they could catch two fish at once meant that the fish were gathering in the nest. Even Silly Kid had exchanged corn for dried bream.

"I catch a bunch in half an hour. I never stop." Erhu smiled. He has been catching corn since the first bream.

"Ce, if I had known earlier, I would have continued to hang corn." Tiedan cast the rod again in annoyance. It was already past three o'clock, and he had definitely lost the bet.

It is better to continue using mulberry fruit to catch grass carp instead of changing the bait. It would be great if you could catch a big grass carp that could kill Erhu instantly.

Two hours later, Qin Dahe caught another fish, a grass carp weighing more than six kilograms. After thinking about it, he began to change the line.

"Tiedan, should we switch to thinner line? This No. 5 line is probably blocking the bite. The grass carp in the Yuxi River are all small, so No. 1 line is barely enough."

"Switch, fuck."

This time it becomes the No. 7 main line plus the No. 1 sub-line, the classic Lu Bu riding a dog, but he doesn't have a main line below No. 5, so this is the only way.

The No. 1 line was indeed more powerful. Within ten minutes of the two of them putting it down, they caught something, and they did it at the same time.

Seeing this, Hanwaer and Erhu next to them also changed their lines. This line had a really strong bite.

This time, the two of them didn't dare to pull it blindly. A fish weighing five or six kilograms could cut off the 1.0 line, so they had to fish slowly.

Five minutes later, Qin Dahe carefully scooped up a grass carp weighing over four pounds and started fishing again. Tiedan had already cut his line and cursed as he re-set on the 1.0mm leader. He had finally realized that the 5.0mm line was completely useless today.

Maybe it was because they changed the line, or maybe it was because the water temperature had stabilized, the four of them started biting fish very quickly, and Silly Boy even caught a black carp. They had completely given up on grass carp and were only catching corn.

"It's great. With this connection, I can catch a fish as soon as I cast the rod." Tiedan pulled the rod excitedly. He caught another grass carp weighing more than five kilograms. The 1.0 sub-line almost broke. He had cut two lines today.

It was already five o'clock, and none of the four wanted to go home. If they got a bite now, they could fish until dark. It was so boring during the day.

"Dahe, is the flashlight charged?"

"Both have electricity. We started charging last night. Let's keep going and won't put down the pole until dark." Qin Dahe was a little excited at this time. The daytime was too unbearable.

At this point everyone either connected or caught a fish in five or six minutes at the most, which was really cool, except that the 1.0 sub-line was cut a bit too much.

"Next time, get some 2.0 or 3.0 leader lines?" Erhu shouted. He cut a lot of fish after changing the line, but he also caught a lot of fish.

"You have to buy the whole line set. Next time I will buy all of them." Qin Dahe was a little annoyed. It was obvious that his equipment in this life was much worse.

According to this kind of fishing situation, if you use a high-carbon rod to fly fish and use a needle to unload the fish, you can catch 40 to 50 kilograms in two hours. But now I have to slowly slip because of the problem of the sub-line.

When it was completely dark and he couldn't see the float clearly, he used a flashlight to help the silly kid pull up a soft-shelled turtle.

"It's weird that this hanging thing can be caught." Several people laughed. It's a turtle, but it's a valuable turtle.

The silly kid also had a happy face. This turtle weighed at least three kilograms, so it could definitely be worth a hundred yuan.

"I even caught a crab."

This is the fun of wild fishing. You never know what you'll catch next time. Even the most professional bait can lead to unexpected results.

"We only have two flashlights. Erhu, you and Hanwa collect the shrimp cages, and Tiedan and I collect the fishing gear. Hurry up, or our family will worry."

I wasn't talking about the three of them, but about Silly Kid. I was afraid that he would be worried about his grandmother being alone at home, especially since she was not in good health.

With four of them and a dog, their safety can definitely be guaranteed, and Qin's father and the others won't mind if they go back later.

I could hear Erhu shouting from afar. He had been putting out shrimp cages for twelve hours, so he figured he could get a lot of good stuff.

But it is also troublesome to collect the fishing gear here. The line needs to be reeled in, and there are also a lot of equipment and 130 to 140 kilograms of fish. In the last two hours today, we pulled up 100 kilograms of fish, which means an average of more than 20 kilograms per person.

"Dahe, why don't we use some headlights for night fishing? The bite is very good at night." Tiedan was reluctant to leave. The bite was too strong today. He caught a grass carp every five minutes. He would be happy to catch a bigger line.

"Let's do it next year. It's already so late this year and the weather will get cold soon." Every autumn rain brings a chill. He estimated that winter is not far away and it would be freezing to death if he went fishing at night.

The weather is abnormal this year. It has been a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is still hot. The temperature will definitely drop soon.

Erhu and his friends had to endure some hardship collecting the shrimp cages, as they had to wade through water, but they were both very happy. The feeling of harvesting the small fish and shrimp into the bucket was very satisfying.

Unlike the two of them, who were struggling to move fishing gear and catch more than 100 kilograms of fish, it was simply a life-threatening task.

　Brothers, it will be on the shelves soon. Don’t worry, it will explode even faster. I am working hard to save the manuscripts.
