Chapter 235: Wild Fishing for Pike
When Guo Yang squatted on the ground to check the fishing gear, Luo Xiu was also beside him with a blank look on his face, "Boss, is there something wrong with this fishing rod?"

Guo Yang picked up a coil of finished line group: "Hand rod can catch pike, but the line is a little thin, and it is better to use lures."

Luo Xiu asked doubtfully: "What is Luya?"

Guo Yang covered his face and thought that it was true. In those days, fishing was still regarded as an "old man's pleasure" and was not as popular as it is in later generations.

"It's fishing with a lure. Once you see it once, you'll understand."

Guo Yang put away the existing fishing gear and asked, "Where did you buy the fishing gear?"

"The fishing tackle shop in the city."

"Go and have a look."

The fishing tackle shop is not far away. It is a semi-underground fishing tackle shop run by an old man, and it has a complete range of goods.

After Guo Yang went in, he ignored the old man and started looking around on his own. However, he didn't see what he wanted to buy after searching for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man took the initiative to walk over.

"What can I buy? I have rods, baits, floats, whatever you need."

As he spoke, he opened the shelves one by one.

Guo Yang asked: "Do you have a lure rod?"

The old man frowned. "Luya rod? What is that?"

Guo Yang looked at him in surprise, a little surprised, "You don't know how to fish with lures?"

"I have been fishing for decades and selling fishing tackle for many years, but I have never heard of lure fishing."

It seems that the development of fishing sports in China is still lagging behind, and lure fishing may not even have been introduced into the country.

That series of fishing gear is definitely in short supply. If you want to buy related fishing gear, you can only go to the coastal areas or think about importing it.

no way.

In the end, Guo Yang could only choose three more fishing rods and line sets, and bought some feed and earthworms before he was ready to leave.

The fishing gear that Guo Yang selected were all the best and not cheap, plus Luo Xiu had just been here during the day.

The old man in the fishing tackle shop still remembered it, and curiously walked up to me and asked, "Young man, can you tell me about lure fishing? I'm going to the coastal fishing tackle exhibition in a few days, maybe I can bring some back."

Guo Yang glanced at him. He didn't expect that this old man was still so ambitious at such an old age.

He thought about it for a moment.

“Lure fishing, also known as bionic bait fishing, is a method of imitating weak creatures to induce attacks from big fish.

Anglers attract the attention of fish by controlling the bait, which has a realistic swimming posture and is mistaken for prey by larger target fish, which then take the bait.”

"Lures are best suited for catching fierce predatory fish in the sea, and are also very suitable for catching pike."

The old man probably understood and was a little curious. Having been fishing for a lifetime, he actually became interested in lure fishing.

"Then I'll come back with the stock. Will you buy any?"

Guo Yang thought about it and realized that it wouldn't cost much. "You can prepare two sets for me. They must be good ones. The price is not a problem."

It would be good to go fishing outdoors more often in the future, which is beneficial to your physical and mental health.

If you want to go to Xiangyang Lake, you may also need to prepare fishing gear. There may be no lure fishing gear for sale in Beitun.

……

The next day.

After four o'clock in the morning, Guo Yang turned over and got up, woke up Luo Xiu, and called Xie Shijie.

Both of them were still half asleep.

But they were prepared. The boss told them yesterday. Although they didn't want to leave the warm bed, they still forced themselves to get up.

Guo Yang and Luo Xiu rested for a while, and went out to pick up Xie Shijie before five o'clock.

Then he headed straight to a river near the Golden Pagoda.

Luo Xiu had already inquired and found out that basically no one cared about this place.

It is a late spring, and the weather is still a bit cold. At this time of year, the trees have just started to sprout, and the waterside has just started to grow aquatic plants.

When Guo Yang arrived, he rushed to put his fishing gear in place.

Each of them had two rods. When Guo Yang threw the fishing gear into the water in front of a patch of water plants that he had his eyes on, Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu were still busy tying the lines.

Guo Yang ignored the two of them.

There is a big flaw in fishing for wild pike with a hand rod: they always stay in one fishing spot, making it difficult to catch them.

Since it was just for practice, he changed today's target fish to crucian carp.

Fishing without fishing for grass is pure nonsense.

In spring, the water plants have just sprouted new buds, and crucian carp like to feed on grass seeds close to the shore. Guo Yang chose the right time to throw the bait in front of the water plants.

After choosing the fishing spot, Guo Yang adjusted the position of the float back and forth to find the correct water depth.

Fortunately, it is not deep, the water is shallow and the temperature rises quickly, which is just right.

Then Guo Yang took out the commercial bait he had bought and threw it into the fishing spot.

It feels pretty good and the throw is very accurate.

Guo Yang had a feeling that there would be a good harvest today.

After setting the bait, Guo Yang hung a whole live earthworm on the fishhook and threw the fishhook into the fishing spot.

The fishing rod I bought at a high price is very light and feels good in my hand.

At this time, Xie Shijie and his companions had not yet finished the wiring harness, so Guo Yang walked over and asked, "Not yet finished?"

Xie Shijie looked up and said, "It will be ready soon."

When Guo Yang saw the way he tied the string, he felt that it was wrong and he didn't even know how to tie the string.

"Didn't you say you've been fishing since you were a kid?"

"You tied the line wrong. If you tie it like this, a slightly bigger fish will pull the line away."

As Guo Yang spoke, he helplessly helped the two of them to reorganize the wires.

At this time, Xie Shijie stopped pretending and touched his nose awkwardly.

"I did go fishing when I was a kid, but at that time I would just buy a fishhook, string a rope on it, dig a worm, put it on, and throw it into the river."

Guo Yang was quite speechless. Fortunately, Xie Shijie was quite reliable at work.

In no time, Guo Yang helped the two people tie the lines, choose the fishing spot, and set up the nest. It took about fifteen minutes in total.

Just at this moment, the float on one of his rods moved.

There was a slight downward pull in the float.

Guo Yang took a look and didn't rush to lift the rod.

Many people only treat fishing as a pastime, but it is actually a very sophisticated art.

It looks simple, but actually there are many details involved. Guo Yang played lure fishing for several years in his previous life, so he has some experience in fishing.

There should be fish in the nest now, but they are just some small fish attacking the earthworms.

And he couldn't swallow it, which caused the floating phase to tremble.

At this time, the hit rate of lifting the rod is very low.

Waited a little longer.

The float on the water surface was suddenly pulled down, and then it swayed and bounced up again.

Judging from the floating appearance, the fish must be big.

Guo Yang decisively lifted the rod and stabbed the fish.

bingo!

There was a heavy feeling at the tip of the rod.

Feeling the force under the water, Guo Yang raised the rod and hauled the fish up.

A large crucian carp weighing at least six or seven taels.

Luo Xiu and Xie Shijie were also attracted by the commotion here and showed envious eyes.

Guo Yang skillfully removed the hook, which was hanging on his mouth, neither too deep nor too shallow.

Guo Yang couldn't help but sigh at the golden crucian carp's body: "This resource is really good. It seems that it has not been destroyed by new energy sources."

The first success was a big crucian carp.

The grass yellow fur looks extremely beautiful. After the first fish, the speed of catching fish slowly caught up.

The fish have discovered the commercial bait in the nest and gathered around.

One after another.

Guo Yang was busy and having fun.

Most of them are large crucian carp weighing six or seven taels, and there are also some weighing two or three taels.

After catching more than ten fish in a row, the noise in the nest finally stopped.

Guo Yang waited patiently.

Fishing is like this, it is impossible to catch fish all the time, what counts is patience.

However, Guo Yang was able to sit still, which made Xie Shijie feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing that the boss kept catching fish, but there was no movement on his side, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Boss, why are there no fish here? Maybe I chose the wrong fishing spot?"

Guo Yang said: "You haven't found the nest yet, don't keep pulling and swinging the rod, you will scare away the fish."

Xie Shijie's temper was a little impatient, but it was Luo Xiu who made Guo Yang look at him with a new respect.

Although he didn't catch any fish, he was able to sit still, staring at the float in the water without moving.

It is only a matter of time before you catch fish.

Sure enough, after a while, Luo Xiu also caught a fish, also a large crucian carp.

Xie Shijie ran over enviously to watch Luo Xiu taking off the hook.

Guo Yang shook his head with a smile, but he had waited patiently for so long and there was no movement in the hideout.

There won’t be any more fish.

Just as he was muttering to himself, suddenly all the floats were pulled into the water with great force.

There is no top drift action!
Black drift!
This is not a crucian carp, but a carp or other large fish.

Guo Yang suddenly raised the fishing rod and stabbed the fish.

An astonishing force came.

The fish was not caught immediately, but the fishing rod was bent into a bow.

Fortunately, after changing the line set, Guo Yang was full of confidence in catching the fish.

After several rounds of stalemate, the fish finally came out of the water.

In just a moment, Guo Yang recognized it, it was a white-spotted pike, and it was very large!

Guo Yang was overjoyed!

It was at least four or five pounds in size, with a long and flat body, and was still struggling fiercely when it surfaced.

A dogfish weighing four or five kilograms is not a rare species, and is even slightly small, but for Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu, it is a big deal.

The two men stopped fishing for mermaids and came over. Guo Yang quickly said, "Take down the landing net."

After playing with the fish for a while and waiting for the pike to tire, Guo Yang carefully pulled the fish to the water's edge and gave instructions.

"Be careful with the fish."

It was the first time for both of them to scoop up a fish. In the end, it was Luo Xiu who took the lead and pulled the fish up steadily with the scoop net.

When they got to the shore, Guo Yang had a clearer assessment of the dogfish, which weighed about five kilograms.

Pike is known as the soft gold among fish. This is a wild pike. If you take it to the market to sell, if you find someone who likes it, it will be no problem to sell it for 100 yuan per catty.

This one item alone is worth 500 yuan.

Fortunately, I changed the line set, otherwise I really couldn't figure it out.

The fish haven't been biting for more than ten minutes now. It must be the noise caused by this dogfish.

Pike feed on small fish and birds, so other small fish are naturally afraid of them.

Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu also became excited and returned to their fishing spots to wait.

Guo Yang originally thought that after catching the pike, he would be able to catch crucian carp again, but he did not expect that the pike would disturb the nest.

The next fish was also a pike, but I didn’t pull it up and it just ran away with the leader also broken.

Guo Yang simply changed to a 6.0 sub-line, which is thicker than the main line.

In the next few days, Guo Yang caught some crucian carp again.

If you encounter a pike, just pull it out directly without using a net.

There was even one time when a fish was pulled up by scraping its scales, making splashing sounds on the water surface.

If they can be scraped up, how many pikes must be underneath?

It's so enjoyable to pull it.

But the pike were disturbing the nest and the crucian carp didn't dare to come at all. Fortunately, the resources were good, and Xie Shijie and Luo Xiu also caught a lot of fish.

By 10 o'clock, the fish have basically stopped biting.

Guo Yang said, "Let's go back and collect our fishing rods."

It seemed as if Xie Shijie had not had enough fishing. He felt that there was still early and wanted to cast a few more times.

Luo Xiu also looked unsatisfied.

This way, it's obvious that they have fallen into a trap, and from now on there are two more fishermen in the world.

"Don't fish anymore. Next time I'll take you to Altay to use lures to fish for rice-sized pike."

The lure sport may not have been introduced to China from abroad yet, but it should be soon. Guo Yang also intends to invest in an international fishing sports base.

Just think of it as a toy for yourself.

"it is good."

The two reluctantly began to collect their fishing rods, "Let's take a look at the catch."

The fish baskets of the three people are separate. Once they are taken out of the water and put together, an obvious difference can be felt.

There were obviously many more fish in Guoyang's fish basket, estimated to be more than twenty kilograms, including four dogfish and three or four crucian carps weighing more than half a kilogram.

In comparison, Luo Xiu and Xie Shijie had a much worse outcome. They each only caught a few crucian carp, but fortunately some of them were quite big.

The two were very satisfied with the harvest they got on their first fishing trip and were looking forward to the rice-grade pike in Altay even more.

After counting the fish, Guo Yang looked at the sky. The temperature was not high, but the sun was out.

The air outside is also very fresh, and this small river is next to the Golden Pagoda.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "Let's go check out the alfalfa pasture. We'll have lunch there."

Xie Shijie said, "Okay, Yu Xiaochuan has been there these days."

The three men loaded the fish into the pickup truck and soon arrived at the ranch.

Alfalfa has also sprouted, but it has not been affected by the late spring cold, and it is very pleasing to the eye.

The poplars and other roadside trees on both sides of the road are much taller than they were a few years ago. The transformation of these 20 acres of saline-alkali wasteland has been very successful.

In the past two years, many scholars and journalists have come to visit and marveled at this miracle.

Guo Yang also stopped on the way. The originally hard and compacted soil became soft and fertile, and the large and small stones in the soil were basically cleared away.

It can definitely be called fertile soil.

After figuring out what was going on, he didn't linger any longer and went to the two-story white house in the office area.

On weekends, out-of-town employees gather in the dormitory.

But Xie Shijie notified Yu Xiaochuan on the way, and as soon as the three of them stopped the car, people started to rush out.

People gathered around the vehicle and helped carry the fish.

"This pike is good, delicious, and boneless. Can we get it for lunch?"

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Since we brought them here, we must prepare them and eat them. Just treat them as a snack for you."

Speaking of which, Guo Yang hasn't been here for a while.

Everyone was busy helping to kill the fish, while Guo Yang walked around.

In every respect, it can be called a mature grassland.

Maintaining the current model, we can maintain stable high profits every year.

However, Guo Yang still wanted to make some adjustments. It has been three or four years, and the grassland should be updated.
