Chapter 87 Shaking the Pile
Langtou Village Pier.
The sea water receded early in the morning, and all the fishing boats were stranded. They would float again when the tide came in.
Zhao Dahai wore a straw hat and held a hoe in his hand. He took a look at his fishing boat, got into the sea and walked forward. He arrived at a beach with a mixture of coarse sand and small stones. Many people were holding rakes. I raked the clams with a hoe for about twenty minutes. They were not big, almost the size of a thumb. I picked up almost two kilograms, which was enough for a meal to continue moving forward. My goal today is Sea centipedes, called lugworms or sea worms in some places, look very similar to centipedes on land. They are ten centimeters long. Fish in the sea like to eat them very much. They have been cultivated artificially. However, save them if you can. The one in front of the village There is it in the sea, it just takes some effort to dig out.
Zhao Dahai found a place and dug for about ten minutes, but found nothing. He moved to another place and dug for another ten minutes, but only dug one line. He continued to change places and spent more than an hour. I found the right place at the right time and kept digging until it was almost high tide. I dug out three kilograms without realizing it, grabbed two handfuls of sea sand, mixed it with sea centipedes, and walked ashore toward home.
After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he took out the entire fishing box and placed it in the yard. He also took five fishing rods, wheels and fishing lines and carefully arranged them for use tomorrow.
Zhao Shi walked into the yard and saw the fishing rods placed on the ground. He also saw the bucket in the corner containing the sea centipedes that had just been dug up. They were preparing to go fishing.
"Second Grandpa."
"I just went out to sea, and I am not particularly familiar with the sea conditions. I plan to fish for a while. Just in these places near the pier."
< br>“Don’t rush and take your time.”
At first, Zhao Dahai thought about whether to drive a fishing boat out to sea to release fishing nets or release hooks to catch fish, but he quickly changed his mind. I have been fishing with my father since I was a child, but I was young at that time and had never seriously fished. Just because I had seen and knew how to do it did not mean I could do it well. My father left behind a whole box of various kinds of fish. Various fishing rods, decided to start fishing near the pier, and then go further afield after getting familiar with it.
"Okay."
"This is a good idea."
Zhao Shi came here because he was worried that Zhao Dahai would not care about catching big fish and more at the beginning. It is a very dangerous thing to make a lot of money from fish and go directly to the sea. After hearing this plan, I felt relieved and gave a few words of advice, especially some spots near the pier where I could catch fish, and then left.
Zhao Dahai continued to organize, carefully put everything away, and took the fishing boat down early tomorrow morning.
Zhao Dahai didn't get up until five o'clock the next day. He cooked porridge, packed it in a lunch box after eating, and added two pieces of salted fish. He had to stay at sea all day fishing and wouldn't come back at noon. Carrying the fishing rod and the bucket containing the sea centipedes, when I walked to the pier, the fishing boat that went out to sea for fishing happened to come back. I took a look and found that it was exactly the same as what I had seen in the past two days. There were more black snapper.
Zhao Dahai got on the fishing boat, put away the things he brought, and did not rush to go to sea. He carefully checked the fishing boat. The new boat was launched. In the next one or two months, he will have to check it before going to sea. There is no problem. , then he raised the anchor and untied the cable, started the diesel engine and drove the fishing boat away from the dock. For almost an hour, he arrived at a place that Zhao Shi told him yesterday. The seabed here is mainly sand and mud bottom and some rocks. It was what he wanted to do today. A favorite place for black bream to fish. This is a fish that looks a bit like Luo Fei in fresh water. It reproduces quickly and in large numbers. It can be found in water of one to two meters, two to three meters or even shallower. If it is deeper, it can be seen at fifty or sixty meters.
Zhao Dahai turned off the diesel engine. The sun was very bright, but the weather was good. There was only a little wind and a little waves. The advantages of wooden fishing boats were immediately apparent. They had good wave performance and were very stable. Unlike speedboats, as long as If there is a bit of wave, you have to sway. I sway a few times when I move around. I took out my fishing rods and brought five of them, but I only used two. One was because I would be in a hurry if there were too many people on my own, and the other was related to my fishing method today. .
Zhao Dahai took a nylon rope as thick as his finger and tied one end to the reserved rope tying place on the side of the middle of the fishing boat. The other end was tied with a slip knot. The water here is not deep, about three meters. When it reaches four meters, take a five-meter dianthus pole that you have prepared early and pass it through the slipknot. Tighten it, extend it vertically into the sea and gently poke it into the mud on the bottom of the sea. You don’t need to use too much force, as long as it can be erected. There is no wind today. Small waves will prevent fishing boats from floating away without anchoring. When fishing, when shaking bamboo poles, bamboo poles or wooden pillars, the mud and dust on the seabed are stirred up and become muddy, producing an atomizing effect. Coupled with the sound, it attracts Nearby fish feel that there is food swimming towards this place, which is called "swinging". This method is very useful for fishing in shallow seas such as bays.
“Plop, plop!”
……
“Plop, plop!”……
“Plop, plop!”
……
Zhao Dahai held the bamboo pole in his left hand and shook it gently back and forth. He knocked the bamboo pole on the side of the boat and made a sound. He knocked three times five times at a time. He held the fishing rod with the sea centipede hung on it in his right hand. He put it into the sea from the side of the boat and placed it directly on the bamboo pole. On the edge of the bamboo pole, the lead pendant went directly to the bottom. The other one did the same thing, but placed it on the other side of the bamboo pole. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. After pulling it, there was no movement. I held the bamboo pole with my left hand and shook it a few times on the side of the boat. , at this time, the tip of the pole on the right trembled a few times. With quick eyesight and quick hands, he picked it up and lifted it up. The tip of the pole bent down, and a pulling force was transmitted from the pole to his hand.
“I hit it!”
Zhao Dahai immediately turned the spinning wheel. In a few seconds, a fish was pulled out of the water, jumping and waving its tail, and a few drops of sea water flew up. This is today’s I wrapped the first fish in a towel, took off the hook, and looked at it carefully. Despite its small size, it had a swollen body and was very fat. It was a black snapper, not a big one but about four ounces.
Zhao Dahai opened the baffle of the living cabin and unscrewed the lid of the bilge. Sea water rushed in. Half of the living cabin was filled with water. The black sea bream was thrown in and it immediately started swimming.
Just when Zhao Dahai was about to hang a sea centipede, the tip of another pole shook hard several times, and when he pulled it up, there was another black sea bream of about the same size.
"A group of black sea bream!"
"There is a group of black sea bream below!"
Zhao Dahai was very excited. Black bream feed in groups. I caught two at once and they were all about the same size, which proves that a group of black bream in the water under the fishing boat was attracted by the "shaking pile".
Zhao Dahai quickly hung up a new sea centipede and put it into the sea. As expected, there were two fishing rods, one for a while and another for a while. He was so busy that it took less than half an hour. A dozen black snapper were hoisted, all about the same size.
“Plop, plop!”
...
"Plop, plop!"
......
Zhao Dahai shook the bamboo pole several times and waited for five or six minutes, but no fish took the bait. After letting the sea bream catch by himself, he picked up the bamboo pole and started the diesel engine to change places. When fishing with "swinging piles", once there are no fish in one place, immediately change to another place.
