Golden Fishing Village

The body of the common hairtail is silver-gray, with light gray dorsal and pectoral fins, some small spots on the body and a long black tail.

This hairtail is much more beautiful, its head, dorsal and pectoral fins are all golden, and its body is silver. When it twists its body and swims in the water, it looks like a silver ribbon.

The leader paddled the water, and the hairtail was frightened and quickly dived. Ao Muyang looked down and saw a group of this kind of hairtail floating in the water below. They floated quietly in the water, like a stick, going up and down, and swaying with the undercurrent.

All the hairtails have golden heads, mouths and fins. They are golden hairtails. The local fishermen in Hongyang call them butter mouths, and some call them yellow mouth oil hairtails and yellow mouth golden hairtails.

Grabbing the leader, Ao Muyang surfaced and signaled to Heilong: "Drop anchor."

There are a group of golden hairtails underwater, and they can stay here to find harvest.

Although the hairtail looks like a sea snake, a master swimmer, it is actually a poor swimmer. It floats in the upper layer of the seawater during the day and descends to the bottom of the sea at night.

Now the golden hairtail underwater is in a static state. When they are static, they are like what Ao Muyang saw before, with their heads facing up and their bodies vertical, and they only rely on the swinging of their dorsal and pectoral fins to maintain balance.

Now it is almost time to eat hairtail. Every spring when the water temperature rises, hairtail will swim in groups to the shore, from south to north for reproduction. In winter, when the water temperature drops, they will swim to the depths of the water to avoid the cold.

Seeing the black dragon cast anchor, Jiang Caoqi was refreshed: "There are fish below? Should we cast the net?"

Ao Muyang shook his head: "No net, cast the fishing rod!"

As he said, he opened a box and pulled out a fishing rod. The fishing rod was only half a meter long, but after pulling it with both hands, it gradually became longer and reached two meters.

After inserting the fishing rod, Ao Muyang began to hang the fishing line.

The fishing line he chose was a hundred meters long, and it was a No. 5 nylon line. This fishing line was relatively thick. Jiang Caoqi saw it and asked, "What fish are you going to catch? Tuna or swordfish? There are swordfish underwater here?"

Ao Muyang shook his head: "No, it's cutlassfish, a very delicious cutlassfish."

Jiang Caoqi was immediately surprised: "Oarfish?!"

Oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world. The largest of them is the herring oarfish, which has an average length of five or six meters and can grow to one or two hundred kilograms!

The largest herring oarfish ever recorded was 7.6 meters long and weighed 272 kilograms. When it was swimming underwater, the people on the boat were so scared that they thought they had encountered the legendary ocean python Jörmungandr.

Ao Muyang laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? We are in the shallow sea, where are the oarfish?"

After hearing this, Jiang Caoqi looked at him strangely and said, "If it is an ordinary hairtail, how heavy can it be? At most half a pound? As for using No. 5 nylon line?"

Ao Muyang said, "Just watch it, I have my own considerations."

As he said, he began to hang fish hooks on the nylon line, and hung more than ten or twenty fish hooks in a row...

This is called a string of hooks, which can be understood as a string of fish hooks. He put a lure on each fish hook, put it in the water and swing it, like a small herring.

The string of hooks entered the water, and Ao Muyang carefully let them go down the water. At this time, the fishing rod cannot be moved, otherwise it will cause the string of hooks to become knotted and invalid.

As the fish hook sank into the water under the drag of the lead weight, Ao Muyang carefully felt the power of the fishing rod, and when he felt a little pulling force on the fishing line, he fixed the reel.

He found an underwater undercurrent, and he was lucky. In this way, the undercurrent hit the bait, and the bait would float in the water, looking more like a live fish.

After putting down a fishing rod, he took out another fishing rod and fishing line to combine.

Jiang Caoqi said excitedly: "Come, I'll help you."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said: "You may not be able to do it well. This string of hooks is very complicated to tie. It is difficult for novices to master the tricks."

Jiang Caoqi said: "Just teach me, I am very smart and can definitely help you. I can't help you. How long do you have to work on your own?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "There is no hurry. You have to wait until sunset to fish for hairtail, preferably around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when you can get the most."

As he said this, he saw that Jiang Caoqi was bored, so he had to teach him how to tie the string of hooks.

"Pay attention, this fishing line has a fork, this fork is very important, one end is tied to the main line, the other end is tied to the lead weight, the position should be moderate. When installing the hook, you have to slowly untie each hook, be careful not to string them together..."

Jiang Caoqi is not bragging, he is indeed very smart and has a strong learning ability. He learned it after Ao Muyang demonstrated it once.

Ao Muyang brought eight fishing rods and hung them all down. Each fishing rod has twenty hooks. If the harvest is good, hundreds of hairtails can be harvested in one wave.

Put down the fishing rod, and then wait. It is still afternoon and it is still early.

Jiang Caoqi sat at the bow and blew the sea breeze for a while, then rubbed his hands and said: "Next time I go out to sea, I will wear Hanfu and bring a guqin. In this way, I will float on the sea and play the guqin with the waves. You record a video for me, and I will definitely be able to charm a circle of girls."

That's no problem. Jiang Caoqi is very handsome. Even without the environment, he can charm a circle of girls.

There is less food in the sea in early spring, and the golden hairtails are even less patient than Ao Muyang imagined. They started hunting early.

A fishing rod suddenly shook, and Jiang Caoqi hurriedly got up and said, "The fish is hooked!"

Ao Muyang calmly pressed his shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, there are strings of hooks below, and at most one or two fish are hooked."

Jiang Caoqi asked: "After the fish is hooked, it will struggle hard. Aren't you afraid that it will scare other fish away?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "You don't know buttermouths. This thing has a fierce appetite. They are not afraid. On the contrary, the fish that are hooked struggle to drive other baits to float, which will appear more realistic, and this can attract more fish."

Jiang Caoqi smacked his lips and said: "Okay."

Ao Muyang dived into the water to monitor the situation of the cutlass fish being hooked. These fish did start to move. Their dorsal fins vibrated rapidly, their pectoral fins swayed back and forth, and their bodies bent like bows and arrows, rushing towards the food at the fastest speed.

After a while, he surfaced and took the towel handed by Heilong to wipe his body, saying: "Come on, get ready to work!"

All eight fishing rods shook violently. Ao Muyang chose one and pulled it out from the fishing position, then grabbed the reel and rotated it firmly, slowly pulling out the fishing line.

The general was waiting at the bow, ready to go into the water. Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "No, general, I'll get them up myself this time."

After hearing his words, the general shook his tail and sat down quietly.

Seeing this, Jiang Caoqi was envious: "When will the leader become like the general?"

He turned his head to look at his beloved dog. The little dog was caught by the wolf brothers and was tortured to death, howling continuously.
