Chapter 38： Mountain pool fishing

Chapter 38 Fishing in the Mountain Pool

For the next two days, Chu Mingcheng was fishing for soft-shelled turtles in the deserted pond, but the number of soft-shelled turtles was getting smaller and smaller. He caught eight turtles in total, but three of them weighed less than two catties, and he released them back. five.

Including the seven caught the day before yesterday, there are now a total of twelve wild turtles in his family.

The smallest is just over two catties, and the biggest is five catties.

Chen Qing and the others will come to the island in the afternoon, and the three of them want all the twelve.

If you can’t eat it yourself, you can also take it and give it to others.

Going for a run as usual today, it rained last night, and the air on the island was exceptionally fresh, which made Chu Mingcheng's running condition a bit better today.

It was only half past six when he came back from breakfast. He packed up and planned to go fishing for soft-shelled turtles in the reservoir. Just as he was about to set off with Xiao Mi, Yao Xin, a female fishing friend he met a few days ago, sent a message.

"Brother, today I will go fishing for grouper with some fishing friends, will you come?"

Creek grouper?

Another fish species he didn’t know, Chu Mingcheng was naturally interested.

Why did you want to establish a good relationship and join the group? This is the main purpose!

It is better to have someone fishing with you than to **** slowly by yourself.

"Of course, you send me the address."

"Okay! By the way, you only need to bring a 4.5-meter hand pole, preferably a carbon pole, and it must be light enough. The line set is 1+0.6, and it is equipped with a sleeve-shaped No. 3 hook."

"You don't need to bring bait. I have secret bait here, and I'll give it to you when the time comes. Commercial bait is not very attractive to brook groupers, and they don't eat it."

"OK, I'm ready to go."

Yao Xin should go fishing often, and he is very familiar with the terrain, so there is no need for him to bring a few more fishing rods to match randomly according to the terrain and market conditions.

And he happens to have a 4.5-meter carbon rod, which is the one he bought at the beginning. He usually uses it to catch crucian carp, but it can be used to catch other fish.

But he still came to the fishing tackle shop. Seeing him coming, the boss thought he was going to ask about the two sea rods he ordered.

"Brother, your two fishing rods haven't arrived yet. I specially entrusted my relationship to help you order the goods from abroad. The quality is definitely better than that of domestic OEMs. Just wait."

"I'll call you when the rod arrives."

"No rush, no rush, I'm going to fish for grouper in the stream today, and buy some line and hooks." Chu Mingcheng also expressed his intention.

Recently, he is having fun fishing soft-shelled turtles. He has no idea of ​​going sea fishing for the time being. Buying a fishing rod means preparing it in advance.

After buying fishing line and hooks, Yao Xin also sent the address, which is located in a place called Shizhen.

I have never been to Chuming City, but I only know that there are many mountains across the river from Wen City.

It’s a long way to go there, it takes forty or fifty minutes by car.

Around 7:20, Chu Mingcheng came to a supermarket called Rihui in Shizhen, which was the destination Yao Xin sent over.

Going fishing with someone else today, he didn’t bring Mi.

Just as he was about to get out of the car to look for someone, he saw the co-pilot's window of a Toyota next to him roll down, revealing Yao Xin's face.

Chu Mingcheng quickly lowered the car window and greeted her: "Sister Yao!"

Yao Xin smiled at him, and said, "You follow this car later, we'll start now."

"OK."

Toyota started and began to lead the way in front, Chu Mingcheng followed behind, taking note of the way.

If the waiting place is a good fishing ground, then next time he can come by himself or bring Zhang Wei with him.

Soon, they came to the foot of a mountain with a stream beside it.

Toyota overbearing stopped in an open space, and three people got out of the car.

Except for Yao Xin, the other two are men.

The driver was a man in the same grade as Yao Xin, a little handsome.

The person in the back seat was a dark-skinned but attractive man, who was older than them all, estimated to be over forty.

But when Chu Mingcheng came down, the two men were taken aback at the same time.

The older man was fine, but the younger man started to feel a little uneasy.

I don’t seem to have an advantage in appearance, figure, and height. The only advantage may be economic strength. After all, the opponent’s car is not good.

But seeing Yao Xin's enthusiasm for this person, his sense of crisis still increased greatly.

Now is not the previous era, women did not pay much attention to certain aspects.

When you meet a handsome guy, even if you don't want to be together, you definitely don't mind what happens, because they don't feel that they are at a disadvantage, especially women who are over 30 years old.

"Ah Cheng, let me introduce you, this is Brother He Zhenghe, Brother He has a boat, you know!"

"Hello, Brother He, my name is Chu Mingcheng, you can call me Acheng." Hearing that He Zheng has a boat, the smile on Chu Mingcheng's original face suddenly became more sincere.

He Zheng had a bright personality, patted Chu Mingcheng on the shoulder and joked: "Did you choose the wrong hobby, kid? With your face, wouldn't you be buried if you chose fishing?"

"Isn't this increasing the average appearance of our fishermen!"

"Haha, interesting!"

Then Yao Xin introduced him to the younger man next to him. This man was called Xu Fang.

When Chu Mingcheng greeted him, he felt that he was polite on the surface, but in fact he was a little distant.

But he doesn't care, he probably won't see this person again after today, it doesn't matter.

He Zheng naturally saw this scene, but he turned around and went to the car to get the fishing box, pretending that he didn't see it.

Yao Xin understood what was going on, but she didn't reveal anything.

Then the group of people took their own fishing boxes and walked up the mountain along the stream.

And when Chu Mingcheng saw Xu Fang take the initiative to help Yao Xin get the fishing box, he suddenly realized that this was the case, this guy was a small fish in the fish pond!

The destination is not too far away. After more than 20 minutes, they arrived at the destination.

Chu Mingcheng did not expect that the small stream seen at the foot of the mountain would become so wide after going up the mountain, and there is also a big pool.

But this is not a stagnant water basin. It rained last night, so the stream flows relatively fast today.

Yao Xin asked at this time: "Ah Cheng, have you ever fished rocks?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "Sister Yao, the pit that Qingcai entered in our country, I don't even know about the brook grouper, how can I ever catch it!"

"It is said that there are brook groupers in this pool? How to catch them?"

Yao Xin saw that he really didn't know, so he explained.

"We must first understand the habits of the target fish when fishing. The brook grouper is also the light-lipped fish. It has a high demand for oxygen, so it likes to survive in the flowing waters between the mountains."

"At the same time, it is a very sensitive and vigilant fish, and generally likes to hide under rocks or in rock crevices. If you catch a brook grouper in clear water, the surrounding brook grouper will scatter and flee. And no more hooks."

"That's why we chose this water pool, because the water flow here is neither too fast nor too slow, and the water is turbid. It is the favorite hiding place for brook stoners."

"In addition, there are also requirements for the time to fish for groupers in the brook. It is best in early summer and late autumn in May and June, followed by the best time from morning to noon."

"After the water temperature rises at noon, the brook grouper will swim to the deep waters, so it will not be very easy to catch."

Chu Mingcheng listened carefully, and with Yao Xin's explanation, he had a deep understanding of the habits of the brook rocks.

"I heard you say not to buy commercial bait before. Does this fish also have high requirements for bait?"

Yao Xin nodded and said, "Yes, when fishing for groupers in the stream, the best bait is the river prawns in the stream, followed by the stone worms under the rocks."

"However, these baits are not easy to obtain, so I asked some experienced people for a secret recipe of homemade bait, which is also very attractive to brook groupers. If you are interested, I will send you the secret recipe later."

Chu Mingcheng smiled shyly when he heard the words: "That's so embarrassing!"
