Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 398

  Chapter 398 Handline Fishing

  The next day, Lin Xiuqing found out the clothes made of yellow floral fabric that Ye Yaodong bought for her last year.

  Her summer outfit is the best looking and the most available. She has always been reluctant to wear it, so she folded it and kept it there. She only wore it once when she went back to her mother's house.

  Ye Yaodong sat on the edge of the bed shaking his legs, watching her gesture with the clothes.

   "Ah Dong, I feel like I have gained weight after giving birth, and the waistline of my pants is a bit small."

   "I don't think so, it's true that the steamed bun is big! Is your waist okay? Anyway, I don't touch your waist. It's good that the steamed bun is big, and you have milk."

  Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, "Didn't you say you were going to go to sea to watch the scene? Why don't you go?"

   "What's the hurry? It's only 7 o'clock, and you still go to work at 8 o'clock, why should I go so early?"

   "Then go out and wait, I have to change clothes."

   "It's not like I haven't seen it... Hey, hey... Go out and go out..."

  After he said a word, he was pulled up and kicked out.

  Walk to the door to see, good guy, comrades of the People's Liberation Army are busy again, and ran to move bricks to work.

   "I said, you are so active, do you want to be my son-in-law? It's a pity that my daughter is only three months old. Otherwise, I will ask my wife to introduce you to the big girl in the village? Help you solve major life issues?"

  Captain Chen's dark face instantly turned red to the ears, "What nonsense, I'm not thinking that you haven't come out of the house yet, you're idle or idle, help me out. Now that you've come out, let's go."

   "What's the hurry, I'll make a bucket of tea first, otherwise I'll die of thirst after spending a whole day on the sea, and the water in the pot hasn't boiled yet, so you have to work a little longer and I'll call you."

   "Hehe, you are really welcome."

  Father Ye quickly smiled and said: "Comrade PLA, don't listen to him, sit down and rest for a while, cool off, there are workers."

   "It's okay, come and exercise your muscles and bones before the sun comes out."

  After Ye Yaodong had prepared all the food and drink, the few of them went to the sea to watch the scene.

   Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of people who are not willing to die. Before they arrived, everyone saw three more boats staying around the sea area they marked.

  Those ships were also guilty of guilt. As soon as they saw the marks on their ships, they recognized them, and they also saw the several People's Liberation Army on board.

  Ye Yaodong didn't chase after him either. After the boats had all run away, he drove not far away to set up the ground cage.

  When the soldiers got on the boat and saw so many cages piled up on the boat, they really wanted to ask. Now they watched his father sail the boat, and he put it there, and stepped forward to help.

   "You don't waste it at all? If you can't drag the net, you have to put a ground cage. Where did you get it?"

"My own, otherwise where else can I get it? I have always put the ground cage nets, and I will collect them in a day or two. Recently, I can't even collect the goods of the ground cages because of the delay. Yesterday I went to get the ground cages all night. Take it back, it's more convenient to put it here, who knows that it will delay me for a few days?"

"I haven't gone to sea for four days. It rained for more than 20 days a while ago. If I don't release the net to make some goods, I will drink the northwest wind. It doesn't matter if I drink the northwest wind alone. There are still several mouths at home. Now I have to build a house to take the old lady over to take care of her, and it costs money!"

  Ye Yaodong never forgets that he will be sold out.

  The soldier was really honest. Hearing what he said was pitiful, he immediately said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

   "Otherwise, shall we release the net for you?"

   "Or help you go into the water to catch fish?"

   "If you need help, just say it."

  The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, and he just muttered a few words casually like this habitually, "It's okay, I don't need any help, just put these rows of floor cages down."

   "We have seen it in the water before, and there are quite a lot of fish around the sunken ship. How about putting the ground cage over there?"

"It will hang the bottom. We dragged the net here before. When we lifted the net, it caught the bottom, and then caught a bronze tripod. Forget it, it only takes two or three minutes for you to go into the water. Maybe you haven't found the place for the bottom yet. You have to come up, or don't.”

  Honestly, it would be good to put a ground cage next to it for a few days, and those few days are not bad, anyway, the village committee also made up for his losses.

   "That's fine, then I'll let you go. If you have any work, just support us."

   Several people always felt a little guilty for delaying his earning money, so they rushed to take over Ye Yaodong's work.

  So enthusiastic, Father Ye was also a little embarrassed, feeling that Dongzi was bullying an honest person a bit.

   "We'll do it ourselves, we'll do it ourselves..."

  Ye Yaodong clapped his hands and backed out, and he will do it for you if you like, since they are idle anyway.

  He went to the cabin and took out his fishing line and hook to play with again. When he took out the fishing line and hook every three days, various situations always happened when he tried to fish, which made him fail to fish successfully.

  Made, now he is sent out to watch the scene at sea again, he can't trawl the net, he can only fish, otherwise he would just sit and float on the sea for a day, which would be a waste of time.

   There is no fishing rod, only fishing line and hook. This fishing method also has a name called handline fishing.

  Handline fishing is a drag fishing method without a fishing rod. It is quite old. It depends on the fisherman's hand feeling to judge whether the fish is caught, and directly pulls the fish with both hands to stab the fish and successfully catches the fish.

  It is very simple to make, just like what he has in his hand, he only needs a fishing line tens of meters long, a lead pendant and a fishhook.

  He doesn't have a lead pendant, but he has a stone. It's the same if you just use a stone as a lead pendant. In difficult times, keep it simple.

It is more particular about the fishing line. After all, the line is retracted and released by hand, so it is necessary to choose a relatively thicker and harder fishing line, which is not only beneficial to not hurt the fingers when retracting and releasing the line, but also can reduce the knotting of the line body. .

  The fishing line in his hand is fine. It is used for weaving nets at home. The women in the family do different jobs every time, so the nets weaved are also different, and the threads are also thick and thin.

  Anyway, the one in his hand can't be thin, and he can't say how thick it is, as long as it can be used for fishing.

   After Ye Yaodong tied a small stone as a lead pendant, he went to carry the small bucket of fish and shrimp to the side of the boat, which was specially left back yesterday.

   "Father, are you alright? Have you finished placing the ground cage?"

   "There is still a row, we have to wait."

  He wanted to go to the reef where the shipwreck was. He also went into the water when it was getting dark before, and saw that there were indeed many fish there. Some fish like to move around the reef, such as grouper.

  Since the ground cage hasn't been set up yet, forget it, let's catch a hook here first.

  He picked up a small red shrimp to bait the fishhook, and then slowly lowered the fishhook and stone into the sea as a lead pendant until the hook bait sank to the bottom of the sea.

  This will be because the ground cage net is being placed, the boat is moving forward slowly, and the current is high. The bait will also float with the current under the water, attracting the fish below.

  It is also the first time for him to use the handline fishing method. Compared with the fishing method with a fishing rod, the throwing distance is not so far.

  But he is in the middle of the sea, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't need to be thrown too far, as it feels okay right now.

After throwing the hook out, his fingers did not leave the line. After a while, he felt the fishing line shaking in his hand. It was not the feeling of the sea wind blowing the fishing line, but the shaking back and forth, and his fingers could clearly sensed.

  He yelled in surprise, "Oh hoo~ here it comes~"

When he felt the pulling force of the fishing line in his hand was very strong, he lifted the line vigorously in time so that the hook could penetrate the fish's mouth and catch the fish. He held the wooden stick with his left hand and rolled it, and his right hand took turns in order from bottom to top. Pull the wire.

  When the other people on the boat heard his surprise yelling, they all turned their heads and looked over. Seeing him pulling the fishing line there, they all walked over curiously.

"What are you doing?"

   "Fishing, what else can you do? Didn't you see me pulling it up? This one is not big, struggles with little strength, and ran away without biting the hook."

   "You can fish like this?"

"It's rare and strange. There is a fishing line and a hook. Why can't you catch it? It's just that there is no fishing rod, so you can't cast it too far. Big fish are a bit difficult to catch, mainly because it's hard to pull. Small fish are still very easy." Ye Yaodong As he spoke, he tried to wind the thread.

   "There are really fish!"

   "See, see..."

   "I pulled the sea noodles...it seems to be a sea bass..."

   "I'll see...I'll see..."

  The half bodies of those soldiers lay over the side of the boat, more excited than him.

  Accompanied by a crash, the water surface fluctuated, and a fish was directly lifted into the air by Ye Yaodong, "Hey! It's a bass~haha, luck is fine!"

  Father Ye put the ground cage there, listening to it, he felt a little itchy, turned his head frequently, and couldn't help but yelled, "How many catties?"

   "It's less than a catty or two catties." Ye Yaodong pulled the fishing line onto the boat, and the perch on the hook was brought up in front of them for them to see.

  The perch that was still hanging on the hook were still waving their tails alive, and the water stains on everyone's faces were shaking, and everyone watched happily.

   "Help me get a bucket of seawater, it's still alive and can be raised, so as not to die, take it back in the evening and it will be stale in the sun."

   "I'll come, I'll come..." A comrade rushed to get the bucket.

   "You are lucky," Captain Chen said with interest, "It seems that you have not put it down for a long time, and you have taken the bait?"

   "About two or three minutes, there are a lot of goods recently, and the boat is sailing there, and the bait below is floating, which is easy to attract fish to eat the bait."

   "I didn't expect such a simple hook and line to be able to fish."

   "Don't underestimate it. Although it's the first time I fish like this, it feels quite smooth, and the feeling of a fish biting the hook is quite clear."

  He took the fish off the hook as he spoke, and the strength of the struggle almost let him off the deck. After he put it into the bucket, it swung alive again.

   "Is this fish worth money? If you catch a few more a day, can you still make money? Is there no hook and line on the boat? We will help you catch it."

  "Yes, yes, yes, we will help you fish together..." Everyone rolled up their sleeves, wishing they could get started right away.

  Where is helping him fish? It's obvious that they themselves are itching to watch it, and they want to try it and play a few times.
