“Chug, tug, tug!”

Zhao Dahai was driving the fishing boat. The sun was setting in the west like a knife. He couldn't open his eyes. It had been twenty minutes. He had changed more than twenty places today and couldn't catch any fish. He wanted to stop, but he didn't know where to stop. Fortunately, I use a diesel engine. If it were a gasoline-powered speedboat, I would have to pay hundreds of dollars if I didn't make any money today. There is only one possibility for this situation now. There are no fish in the sea in the past few days, and it is useless to change anywhere.
Zhao Dahai shuddered, woke up immediately, turned off the accelerator, and the speed of the fishing boat slowed down. He glanced around and saw that there were no fishing boats around. His heart skipped a beat. After looking carefully for a while, he remembered Knowing where this place was, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Dahai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just now, he had been thinking about where to fish, and unknowingly drove farther. Fortunately, he recovered quickly, otherwise Who knows where we will drive at once? What we fear most is the unfamiliar waters and losing our way.
Zhao Dahai drank some water, rested for more than ten minutes, calmed down completely, and saw clearly that he was in a familiar sea area before sailing the fishing boat again.
Zhao Dahai must be very alert. This kind of mistake must not be made again. The seemingly calm sea may kill him at any time.
Zhao Dahai drove towards the pier for more than ten minutes. He remembered that he had been to this place with his father when he was a child. If he remembered correctly, the bottom of the sea here was all sand, which was the favorite place for sand pointed fish.
Zhao Dahai patted his head hard. He couldn't catch black sea bream by swinging the pile in the past few days. He had been thinking about catching other fish, and this happened.
Zhao Dahai caught a small mud shrimp in the live cabin. If you are fishing for black sea bream, you can hang the whole shrimp, but fishing for sand pointed fish is not allowed. I peeled off the shell of the shrimp and pinched it into a piece the size of a chopstick head. A piece of shrimp meat is hung on a hook and thrown into the sea.
Are there sand pointed fish?
Zhao Dahai was a little nervous. He held the fishing rod tightly and tightened the fishing line when it reached the bottom. After waiting for a while and there was no movement, he gently pulled it. When a fish took the bait, he immediately raised the rod. Reeling in the line, a finger-sized sand pointed fish was pulled out of the water.
Sand point fish is a common fish along the coast. In some places, it is called "sand tip fish". There are many species. Some are not very big, only a little bigger than chopsticks. The most common ones are about the size of an adult's thumb, about twenty or thirty years old. Some species can grow relatively large in places with water depth of 1 meter, with "horn tips" as big as two or even three fingers. The fish body is spindle-shaped, the mouth is small and has scales, and there is only one big thorn in the middle without small thorns. The meat is firm, tender and smooth. Eat, the big ones are valuable, the "corner tips" as big as two to three fingers can be sold for 70 or 80 yuan per catty, and more than 100 yuan is not a big deal during the holidays. This is still talking about the chilled large ship goods, small ship goods, especially fishing. Fish from the mouth are a bit more expensive.
Zhao Dahai caught his hand and smiled. There were indeed sand pointed fish, and there were quite a lot of them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken the bait so quickly. They were not big in size and had big little fingers. This is a common species and generally only grows in size. It's about the size of a thumb, but it's good to have fish, and it's good to have a bicycle. Don't keep thinking about motorcycles.
Zhao Dahai tried a few more poles and caught fish every time. Unfortunately, the sun was setting and it would get dark in less than an hour. He was a fishing boat, unlike a fishing boat that put out nets. At night It's more dangerous, so I can only close up and go home, and come back tomorrow.
The fishing village becomes quiet at night. People who have worked all day, especially those who have to continue working tomorrow, all go to bed early. Only children or the elderly will go out for a walk or enjoy the shade in the village sunbathing area. Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and stopped at the door of the yard. He opened the door, pushed in and parked in the corner.
I am going to catch sand pointed fish tomorrow. I have to use a special fishing rig to catch the most fish in the shortest time. Last time I bought some hooks and the like in the town, but one thing was missing. I had no choice. I went back to the dock and went home immediately. He rushed to the town on his motorcycle, sharpening his knife and chopping firewood. He couldn't bear to let his children catch the wolf. If he wanted to catch more sand pointed fish, he couldn't save the money he had to spend.
Zhao Dahai ate dinner in a hurry and started to prepare.
I bought a lot of things at the fishing tackle shop in town. There are two main things. One is sea centipedes, mud shrimps or other shrimps that can be used to catch other fish, but they are not particularly suitable for catching sand pointed fish and are not efficient. Gao, I was anxious to use it tomorrow and didn’t have time to dig, so I had to buy it. However, this thing is not expensive. I spent fifty yuan to buy a lot, which is enough for two or three days.
The other most important thing is the straight-shaped balance, which is a metal rod with rotating eight-shaped rings at both ends, and a eight-shaped ring and a pin in the middle for hanging lead pendants.
If you want to have good yields when fishing for sand pointed fish, you need to tie several or even more than ten hooks on a line and arrange them in a string to form a string hook. Traditionally, fishing for sand pointed fish only requires the addition of a lead pendant. A string hook can easily get tangled when thrown. A straight-shaped balance can greatly reduce the chance of tangling with long threads. If there is a better way, it must be used.
Stringing hooks is simple. You tie the hook and thread yourself. Tie a sub-thread on a main line, and then tie a hook on the sub-thread. The distance between the sub-threads is thirty centimeters. For children who grew up in a fishing village, this is a basic skill. At six years old, he is already very proficient. You have to spend what you have to spend and save what you can. There are tied ones in the fishing tackle shop, so I didn’t buy them.
The mouth of the sand pointed fish is relatively small, so you need to use a small hook, size 5 is enough.
Zhao Dahai tied twenty string hooks at one go, three hooks per string. There is no need for more hooks. There are too many hooks and it takes a lot of effort to hang bait. In addition, string hooks that are too long are more likely to get tangled in the thread. It will take more time to organize or simply scrap it. I used this time to pull it twice more, and I caught a lot of fish. I found a few palm-sized foam boards, tied them with string hooks and hung them carefully. Tomorrow Convenient to use.
Zhao Dahai packed up his things and went to bed early. He got up early the next day, finished breakfast around four o'clock, and went out immediately. It was early when he arrived at the dock, and the fishing boat that went out to sea to set fishing nets for fishing did not come back. I picked up the cable, pulled up the anchor, started the diesel engine, and drove forward with the stars in the sky above my head not disappearing. The water mist formed by the seawater splashing from the bow hit my face, making me feel chilly. The place where I fished for sand pointed fish was slightly A little further away, if you want to have more time to fish, you have to go early.
Zhao Dahai only drove one diesel engine at the beginning. When he left the dock, the sea was open. The speed of the two diesel engines suddenly increased. He encountered many fishing boats along the way. They all went out to sea to release fishing nets in the early morning. Some fishing boats harvested Yes, there were one or two baskets with fish on the deck, but most of them were not very good. There were only a few fish in the fishing nets that were piled on the deck and had just been pulled up.
It was more than an hour after Zhao Dahai arrived at the place. It was still dark, but he could barely see clearly. There was no wind and only a small wave. It would be fine if he didn't anchor.
Zhao Dahai spent a lot of time, and finally lowered the anchor and scraped the bottom of the sea before he found the edge of the sand, stopped the fishing boat, and immediately began to prepare to catch sand pointed fish.
