Chapter 52 Preparation
Chapter 52 Preparation
A few minutes later, Yue Feng sent Liu Fengnian a message on WeChat.
"After reading the announcement, Big Brother Liu will help you sign up, and go play with you!"
"Okay! I'll go to the store with a few of them to find you tomorrow morning, and we will prepare things for the black pit together! This pit is open to red worms. You should send out some worms in advance. We should at least weigh a catty each. You first Five or six catties are ready! Three catties of male insect buds, three catties of female insects! The day after tomorrow, it will be too late!"
"Okay, I'll call and fix the bug right now!"
After talking about the preparations, Yue Feng focused his attention on the Internet. He didn't fight unprepared battles. If he had no actual combat experience, at least he had to go online to see if there were any strategies or anything, and to learn in advance.
However, what is frustrating is that Yue Feng searched the Internet a lot, but he couldn't find any more mature video programs. He only watched a few posts shared by netizens in a few half-dead forums.
When he first took over the fishing tackle shop, Yue Feng didn't know much about fishing, so he could be regarded as a new recruit who started to learn from the beginning to the end.
But Yue Feng's mind is not stupid. After reading the forum posts, coupled with the basic fishing skills he has initially mastered, he can quickly draw inferences from one instance and have a general understanding of the upcoming commercial pond fishing.
It is said that the three armies go first without using food and grass. This fishing is similar to marching and fighting, and preparations are especially important.
If you want to fish crucian carp in the black pit, the sub-line used for wild fishing is not suitable now. For crucian carp with a size of 678 taels, it is generally suitable to use No. 6 or No. 7 sleeve hooks in normal fishing grounds. The No. 4 sleeve hook is too small, and it is easy to run fish.
The work of tying hooks was already familiar to Yue Feng. According to his general understanding and the suggestions of the seniors on the forum, Yue Feng quickly tied dozens of sub-threads that might be used.
No. 5 thornless golden sleeve. 0.4 sub-line. 60 cm folded in half.
No. 6 thornless golden sleeve, 0.6 sub-thread, 60 cm folded in half.
No. 7 thornless gold sleeve, 0.8 sub-thread, 60 cm folded in half.
The combination of three different hook numbers and different sub-line numbers basically satisfies the use of conventional black pit crucian carp. The barbless fishhook is very convenient and saves time when picking fish.
After preparing the sub-lines, the corresponding main lines should also be prepared. The new line made by Yuefeng is 0.8/1.0/1.2 three models.
The line group is ready, and the other aspect is the nest and hand food for fishing.
There is a big difference in the habits of farmed crucian carp and wild crucian carp. The biggest difference is reflected in the food intake. The farmed fish has adapted to the feeding conditions and has a relatively large food intake. If it is fishing, it needs to prepare more nests, such as wild fishing. You can fish for a day by planting a few handfuls of wine and rice, and it is almost difficult to catch good fish in black pits.
The amount of nests cast was relatively large, so the nests could not only use wine and rice. Yue Feng simply walked around on his shelves and selected several commercial baits with relatively large circulation.
Musk bottom nest produced by Fishing King brand
Pure Grain Spike from Nanbei Fishing Tackle
These two types of baits are very affordable and have very good nest materials. The main ingredients are wheat germ, crushed corn, roasted bran and other grain processing products, plus some wine and rice, and the gold version of the wild fishing companion that I just got. It should be enough to make a nest.
After choosing the bait nest, the last thing that needs to be prepared is hand food, but it is precisely this that makes Yue Feng face a difficult situation.
There are a lot of crucian carp baits in the store, but Yue Feng has not used them much, and he has no experience in black pit fishing.
It is not impossible to ask Liu Fengnian, but Yue Feng does not intend to do so.
As the owner of a fishing tackle shop, Yue Feng naturally has his own standpoint. It is not impossible to ask fishing friends who do not understand, but the questions are more inclined to those advanced skills and experience.
If you blindly ask for basic questions such as bait characteristics, it is easy to be underestimated by others.
Just imagine, as a shopkeeper, if you don’t even know the most basic bait characteristics and ask others for advice, what will others think of you?
As a fishing tackle shop owner, if you lose your authority among fishing friends, you will also lose your recognition and pricing power, which is very detrimental to the operation of the fishing tackle shop. This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just a matter of position.
After thinking briefly, Yue Feng still chose to give up. Since he was not sure about the commercial bait, he might as well use pure worms.
Among all the conventional baits used for fishing crucian carp, red worms and earthworms are definitely the top two. For fishing and breeding crucian carp, red worms are especially effective.
But the only thing is that the price of red worms is slightly higher.
Let’s talk about red worms separately here. Red worms are also called blood red worms. They are the larvae of chironomus. They grow and reproduce in stinky ditches and river sections with more humus. The whole body is blood red and widely distributed. It is an excellent natural bait for fish and has high nutritional value as fish feed.
There is no such thing as breeding red worms. All red worms on the market are washed out by workers who fish for worms, and the price is relatively high.
Taking the current market in mid-April as an example, when shipped from the wholesale market, the price of male red worms is 28 per catty, and that of female worms is 24 per catty. The price of the largest male worm for wild fishing is even higher, around 100 yuan per catty per year.
Male bud worms and female worms are not suitable for a single hook. They are usually mixed with commercial bait to open meat bait, or pure insects use shellac and other things to open pull bait.
There is another trick to fishing with red worm bait, which is the knowledge in primary bait opening. The male bud worm has hard skin but is small in size, and the female worm is big in size but soft. When the female worms are mixed together, the bait state and effect of the developed red worms will be better.
After making preliminary preparations, Yue Feng's spirit was relaxed, and he laid down some sub-lines casually. Since a group of people went fishing, they tied some hooks in advance, so as to save all kinds of hassle when customers wanted it.
The next morning, Liu Fengnian, Wei Liang and Ma Boqiang really came to the store.
"I heard from Brother Liu that you're going to play Heikeng together tomorrow? Have you ever played before?" Ma Boqiang greeted Yue Feng as soon as he entered the door.
"I haven't played it before, isn't this going to gain insight!" Wen Dong, who was tying the hook, scratched his head and said truthfully.
Hearing Yue Feng said that he had never played before, Ma Boqiang's mood suddenly fell a little bit: "That's useless, I expect you to have some bait that is effective in fishing for black pits! The wild fishing set before is very effective."
Yue Feng didn't say he didn't know how to do anything, but just scratched his head: "I prepared some myself, let's try it first, maybe the crucian carp nest that I made myself will also work well!"
Liu Fengnian glanced at Ma Boqiang and said, "Xiao Yue, don't listen to Qiangzi's nonsense, the black pit is more simple and rough, and more than half of the factors that affect the number of fish caught are on the buttocks. It is better to draw a good fishing spot than anything else!
Anyway, red worms are allowed to be used in the pits, and the worms for home use are still imported from the United States. The bait factor is not as big as he said! "
