Chapter 84 The fun of the fisherman(2/2)
There is a thin layer of ice floating on the lake, and the moonlight shines on it, dyeing the ice surface silvery white, as if covered with a layer of shining frost.
The outlines of trees and hills in the distance are vaguely visible in the night, forming a quiet winter night scene.
Occasionally, there will be a slight collision of ice cubes on the lake, which is crisp and clear, adding a bit of coldness in winter.
On this quiet lakeside, preparations for the ice fishing competition are already in full swing.
People wearing heavy winter clothes, carrying fishing tools and portable lights, walked back and forth between the shore and the small sheds built on the ice.
Some experienced fishermen have already drilled fishing holes in the ice, sitting quietly on special stools, patiently waiting for the moment the fish takes the bait.
Xia Xiu wears cold-proof clothing specially designed for extremely cold weather, including a down jacket with excellent thermal insulation effect, equipped with a windproof hood and high collar, and professional ice fishing gloves. These gloves keep him warm without hindering his flexible operation.
fishing tackle.
He wears a warm hat on his head and covers his ears. His shoes are non-slip ice fishing shoes with thick anti-slip rubber on the bottom to prevent slipping on the ice.
Xia Xiu joked with Hope and called this outfit - "New Skin·Fisherman Form".
At this moment, Golden Retriever, transformed into a fisherman, was enthusiastically introducing other tools he had prepared to Little Hope, who looked disgusted.
"These are bloodworms and earthworms, which are natural foods for many fish species and are great for attracting smallmouth bass, trout and yellow perch."
“This is for small live fish, small herring and small whitefish; this is ideal for targeting larger predatory fish such as walleye and northern pike.”
"This is a simulated soft plastic bait, small and shrimp worm model; these are usually used with small flash ball hooks to attract the attention of various fish species."
"There's also this, a small metal trembling spoon that mimics the movements of sickly fish and arouses predator interest, perfect for attracting walleye and northern pike."

She had asked the other party before that if she wanted to fish, she could just use the [Mobius Band] in his ability, or use other magical abilities to catch a lot of fish.
Hope's idea was refuted by Jin Mao, who said that the fun of fishing is not in catching the fish, but in the process and preparation.
He said, “Some people think that the greatest pleasure in fishing should be to catch a lot of fish with great force. It cannot be denied that this is also a kind of pleasure, but it is not the greatest pleasure. I think the greatest pleasure should be waiting.
Waiting for the nest material to be laid, waiting for the first bite to appear, waiting for the fishing rod to be pulled into a big bow, waiting for the fishing line to whir in the wind, and of course waiting for the mouth to get better and better, and finally the connecting rod to explode.
Protect a great harvest."
Why is the fisherman reluctant to go home without a mouth?
Or because of waiting, fishermen's hearts are always full of hope. Even if they haven't seen a bite for several hours, they still stubbornly believe that there will be fish if they cast another rod.
If the next shot really hits the fish, there will be a feeling of "all the waiting was worth it".
If you don’t hit the fish on the next shot, then look forward to the next shot.
Sit quietly on the bow of the boat, set up the fishing rod, make a nest at a fixed point, put the bait on, and throw the rod...
There is silence, and suddenly you inadvertently notice the rhythmic up and down motion of the fish float, which is so conspicuous in the dark and calm lake. A feeling of excitement rushes into your heart, and you are not sure what is happening under the water.
With an inexplicable nervousness, you stare at the fish bobber. At this moment, suddenly, the fish bobber rushes into the water, so you lift the rod without hesitation. A strong pulling force is transmitted to your hand, and through the extremely fine
The fishing line, you stand up like a chicken blood!
Sliding fish!!!
Xia Xiu also cited an example of a senior from Tianguo. While studying in Luyuan, he was responsible for handling the national extraordinary independence case of the "young and frivolous" secretary-general Pansy Jane. When he was a young boy, he met
A member of the burial organization who likes fishing.
The angel with daffodils and a former model loves peaceful fishing.
Even if you catch to the end, after the sun goes down, the scene will always change from fishing to fishing.
The most important point is that Xia Xiu likes a passage in a famous book about the old fisherman's fight with the big marlin. He thinks that is what the fisherman is pursuing. That sentence is - "People can be...
Destroyed, but not defeated.”
At this moment.
After making all the necessary preliminary preparations for fishing, Xia Xiu took his own fishing equipment and a portable pony trap and chose a fishing spot away from the crowds.
The place he chose had a clear night sky, and the starlight and moonlight intertwined, projecting on the ice of Mille Lacs, forming a quiet and beautiful light and shadow.
The air is filled with the coldness of winter nights, but also carries a subtle fishy smell. This is a paradise for true fishing enthusiasts.
Xia Xiu carefully checked the thickness of the ice. After confirming that it was safe, he used an ice drill to drill a fishing hole at the selected location.
Dong dong dong——
As the ice chips fly, a perfect round hole appears on the hard ice, ready for the night ice fishing challenge.
He placed the pony tie next to the fishing hole, sat down gently, and adjusted his thick cold-proof clothing to ensure that he could keep warm while still being able to operate the fishing rod flexibly.
Then, Xia Xiu began to equip his fishing rod, with a trembling spoon suitable for night use hanging on the line. It had a subtle vibration and luster, which could especially attract the attention of Warley fish.
He sank the bait into the cold lake water and waited quietly for the creatures in the lake to discover this tempting food.
The night breeze was blowing gently, and the blond young man had a satisfied smile on his face, enjoying the alone time in silence.
I hope that sitting on Xia Xiu's shoulders and shaking her legs, she can feel that the man next to her is really happy at this moment.
She thought, if someone really interrupted his fishing fun at this moment.
