Chapter 4： first try fishing

Chapter 4 Fishing for the first time

As for what to do next, Chu Mingcheng didn't think about it for a while.

Temporarily unable to travel far, the only fishing tools currently unlocked in the Aquatic Illustrated Book are hands and fishing tackle.

This shows that he can catch the sea and fish. As for renting a boat to go fishing, there is no need to think about it.

Maybe, he can buy a fishing rod first and go fishing.

As an office worker, Chu Mingcheng went to the sea during his holidays, but he never tried fishing.

The main reason is that this entertainment project is poisonous and addictive as soon as it is touched, which made him a little worried that he would lose control after exposure, so he never tried it.

Now that he has resigned, fishing will probably become his main business.

But inexperience is also a trouble. After Chu Mingcheng searched for a lot of basic fishing knowledge at night, he decided to go fishing for freshwater fish first.

The main reason is that the cost of catching sea fish is high, and he may not be able to handle it as a novice, so it is better to practice with freshwater fish first.

The next day, without going to work, Chu Mingcheng woke up naturally after sleeping, picked up his phone and checked, it was only 9:10 in the morning.

I usually get up at 8:30 for work, and it seems that I am used to waking up around this time.

He didn't stay in bed either. After he got up and washed, he realized that there was nothing to eat at home.

"Hey, it seems that I really have to go to the sea to get some food."

The income of freelance work is not fixed, and the initial stage is even more difficult. Chu Mingcheng decided to save as much as possible in the early stage.

When the income is relatively stable in the future, it is naturally unnecessary to calculate it in this way.

Leaving by the back door, he drove to have breakfast.

His house is relatively inward, far away from the sea-crossing bridge, and there are many middle-aged and elderly households around, so there is no breakfast shop.

He wants to go out to have breakfast, and he has to drive ten minutes to get near the bridge.

The beach near the island is surrounded by B&Bs and hotels, and there are naturally many breakfast shops.

A serving of glutinous rice and a bottle of fresh milk will cost 8.5 yuan in the morning, and the money is really out of reach now.

After dinner, Chu Mingcheng went to the fishing tackle shop to buy fishing tools.

There is a place for fishing on the island, and there is a reservoir on the top of the mountain, which was not contracted by anyone, so he decided to go fishing there.

Today he is going to catch some crucian carp, and then buy a bottle of beer to make a plate of beer fish.

When fishing crucian carp, the matching of fishing lines is different in different seasons.

The temperature is still high in early autumn, and the fishing line is usually matched with 0.6 sub-line and 1.0 main line, and the sleeve hooks of 3~4 are used.

When the temperature drops, it can be matched with 0.4 sub-thread and 0.8 main thread, and 2~3 sleeve hooks.

Of course, there are differences in the size of crucian carp and whether it is in a breeding pond or in the wild.

The fish in the reservoir are generally stocked, and no one in the reservoir on Yanmen Island specially hired them for breeding. The main reason is that people here don’t like to eat freshwater fish, so the fish in them are all wild products.

Chu Mingcheng was also not sure about the size of the crucian carp inside, so he bought a box for the 0.8 sub-line, 1.0 main line and sub-line, and 1.2 main line, a total of four boxes.

A box of eight rolls, a roll of 4.5 meters.

I bought 3~4 sleeve hooks, which is enough.

I bought the third old bait, blue crucian carp for field battle, 918 field battle and quick attack 2. These three can also be said to be the best baits for beginners.

The temperature is still high now, Jiuyiba bought a yellow fragrance.

The bait in the fishing tackle shop is very complete. On the recommendation of the boss, he bought two more bottles of wine and rice and a bag of corn for making nests.

After buying something, it cost more than 100 yuan. Chu Mingcheng couldn't help but click his tongue, it costs so much to catch a freshwater fish, and sea fishing is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Boss, please introduce the assistant pole. I want to go to the mountain reservoir to catch crucian carp. I recommend a 4.5-meter one, which is cheaper."

After reading the basic knowledge of fishing all night, Chu Mingcheng roughly figured out what kind of fish to use, what kind of fishing rod, fishing line and so on.

"Fishing crucian carp in the reservoir on the mountain!" The boss thought for a while, and then took out a pair of dark blue hand poles. fish."

"The price is not expensive, only one hundred and fifty, suitable for novices."

Chu Mingcheng picked it up and looked at it, and immediately fell in love with it.

"Boss, let's make it cheaper, how about one hundred and three?"

"Oh, the price is already very low, and I have no profit. How about this, I will match the buoy and the missing rope for you, and don't talk to me about the price."

Men, most of them are not as good as women in terms of bargaining. When the boss said this, Chu Mingcheng felt embarrassed to continue bargaining.

As a result, he returned to the car with his things, picked up his mobile phone to check online, and immediately slapped his thigh in frustration: "Damn, I was slaughtered!"

The same fishing rod on the Internet only costs 130 yuan, and he was scammed for 20 yuan, which is a big loss.

But the boss sent a buoy and a rope for missing hands, so he was too embarrassed to go back and talk about it. In addition, it would take at least two days to buy online, and the time cost was higher, so forget it.

Go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and rice, and go home to make lunch.

Men in this day and age are not good at cooking, so they are too embarrassed to fall in love.

At noon, he simply fried two dishes to solve the problem. Chu Mingcheng did not go fishing immediately, but took out the quilt to dry, and started cleaning by the way.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the house was roughly cleaned, so he started to make bait.

This blending ratio is also very particular. The field blue crucian carp and 918 are both 40% respectively, and 20% is enough for quick attack 2.

It’s hard to say what the ratio of water is, basically it’s between 0.8 and 1.1, and Quick Attack 2 should be put last to collect water.

In theory, this is indeed the case, but Chu Mingcheng looked at the bait that was too thin, so he could only continue to add bait expressionlessly until the batter became thick.

After leaving the prepared bait for five minutes, he took the fishing tackle bucket and set off.

The reservoir is not far away, just at the top of the mountain, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive.

When he arrived, he could see a few people fishing in the reservoir, but not many people.

But that’s right, what kind of freshwater fish are you still fishing on the island! When he came back from buying fishing rods in the morning, he saw many people standing on the reef fishing for sea fish. Isn't the ferocity of sea fish better than fishing for freshwater fish?

And there are many breeding ponds near the sea in the town, some of which are abandoned, and there are still many perch and mullet living in them. Anyone who knows has gone there to fish.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t go fishing because he wasn’t sure if his pole would work.

I’m just a novice, it’s okay to break the line and unhook it if I don’t do it properly, but I have to go back to the owner of the fishing tackle shop to change it if the rod is fried, which is troublesome.

Find crucian carp first to find out the feeling of fishing.

Parked the car, Chu Mingcheng took his equipment and found a place where no one was around. Some aquatic plants could be faintly seen on the water surface, which is a place where fish like to hide.

The reservoir is not small and there are few people, but you can find a good location casually.

If you want fish to come ashore, you can exchange them for food.

The wine rice and corn bought by Chu Mingcheng came in handy. He grabbed a handful of wine rice and sprinkled it on the surface of the water more than five meters away.

His fishing rod is only 4.5 meters, which is just the right distance.

After the nest material is laid, it basically takes half an hour before it will be effective, but he doesn't want to wait.

Tie the fishing line and hook, plug in the brackets, and put the buckets and folding stools brought at home.

According to the strategy I have seen, adjust the float to 4 mesh above the water surface, but this is what he tried to do.

As for finding the bottom first, then adjusting the float, and figuring out the depth of the semi-water, he still can't figure it out, so let's do it!

Squeeze out a little bit of bait, roll it into a ball, about the size of a peanut, divide it into two parts and hang it on the hook.

There is no need to throw the hand rod, just lift the fishing rod, release the caught fishing line, the weight will naturally bring the hook to the top of the water where it should go, and then watch the timing to let the hook enter the water.
