Chapter 454: 453. Fully Automatic Fishing (Pastoral Alliance+4)

The yacht is driving on the water, and the fishing machine is like its big tail, dragging behind and moving slowly.

At noon, the autumn air is crisp and the temperature is suitable. The lake is filled with water vapor. When the autumn wind blows, the clean water vapor swirls around people, which is very comfortable.

The seat of the fishing machine is very wide, and one piece can be pulled forward, so that it becomes a reclining chair.

Hans pulled the seat back and lay down on it, moaning, "Damn it, it's cool, I'll go buy some beer later, I'm going to stay here all afternoon."

The treasure hunter on the boat had a displeased expression on his face: "Boss Li, hurry up, can we take turns going up? Damn it, I'm about to be squeezed into a sandwich!"

Dickens smiled gloatingly: "Thompson, man, who made you so fat? If you're like me, you'll feel better."

The fat man Thompson turned his head to look, pushed away the bearded Carl in front of him, squeezed abruptly beside Dickens, and then squeezed him into the corner of the deck.

In this way, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Schete, it's really comfortable, thank you, Dickens, you are such a good guy, and your reminder is very timely."

Dickens was furious: "Fuck, get out of here, you're going to push me overboard."

The boat that Hans rented was too small, and it was a bit difficult to accommodate more than 30 people. Originally, his capacity was only 15 people, but the number of people who came up was more than doubled. The boat sank was considered good.

They have already bought the bait, and the fishing rod, line and hook that come with the fishing machine can be used. Li Du hung a rubber bait on it, threw the fishing rod out with a flick, and then inserted the fishing rod into the fishing position. .

He doesn't need to take care of the rest, the fishing opportunity is responsible for everything.

After throwing all the fishing rods down, he picked up a bait and asked, "Boss Fu, can this bait catch fish? Damn it, isn't it a bit too confusing?"

When he was in school, he and his classmates would occasionally go fishing. The bait they used was earthworms or small grasshoppers, and sometimes they would use dough bait made by themselves.

These baits have scents, which can attract fish to take the bait. Now the baits he uses are rubber sheets. He wonders how this thing can fool the fish to take the bait?

Hans was very confident. He said firmly, "Don't worry, this is a rubber bait. It is very useful. We will have a big harvest today."

Li Du looked at the thrown hook. The lures did not sink into the water. They floated on the water first. The sun shone and the lures shone brightly, which was very eye-catching.

After a while, a bunch of parameters and a piece of information appeared on the central control computer screen: the pulling force is 2.5 Newtons, the reel machine is preparing to work, and the fishing line has entered the shrinking stage...

After the message appeared, a reel seat began to rotate rapidly, and the fishing line became straight with a 'swish' sound.

Seeing this, Li Du became interested, it means a fish has been hooked!

In his impression, fishing should tentatively shrink the reel seat, so as not to force the fish too much, breaking the fishing line or pulling the hook off.

As a result, the fishing machine retracted the wheel seat very quickly, and the wheel seat on the fishing rod turned 'squeaky', and then a fish was pulled out of the water, and was lifted up after a few seconds.

This fish was very fat, with silvery-white scales, the width was not much less than the length. After leaving the water, it struggled crazily. Unfortunately, the fishing line was very tough, and it couldn't get rid of the hook.

"Wow, a tilapia!" Li Du shouted happily after seeing it.

Americans don't eat freshwater fish very much. It is said that in the industrial era, major cities discharged too much industrial sewage into lakes and rivers. After treatment, although the lake water looks clear, there are still many heavy metals and toxic elements in it.

There is another saying that Americans don't eat freshwater fish because they have many bones, and Americans don't know how to remove the bones, so they refuse to eat these fish.

Li Du felt that this was all nonsense. In Flagstaff City, he found that Americans also ate freshwater fish, especially salmon that returned to spawn, and they almost ate them to extinction.

There is also this kind of tilapia, which is also liked by many people. The fast food restaurants in Flagstaff City have fried fish dishes, which use tilapia fish.

As soon as the fish was in hand, Ah Miao immediately moved towards it with bright eyes.

The people on the boat cheered when they saw this scene: "The fish is caught, the fishing machine is intact, oh yeah!"

The bearded Carl took off his shirt and plunged into the lake, then quickly swam to the side of the fishing machine, climbed up the escalator, and grabbed Ah Meow's seat.

After sitting on it, he immediately followed Hans's example and opened the chair to become a reclining chair: "Xue Te, it's comfortable!"

There was still a seat in the crispy noodles, and Ollie and Dickens jumped into the water at the same time, and the two began to fight for it.

Dickens was thin and a good swimmer, so he swam over quickly and wanted to replace it with crispy noodles.

Gan Ganmian turned around, raised his hind legs and gave him a flying kick, and Dickens screamed and plunged into the water again.

The people on the boat were overjoyed, and Thompson shouted: "Bitch, let you go down, this time you don't want to come up!"

Not long after the tilapia was harvested, the wheel seat of another fishing rod started to turn again. This time the wheel seat did not turn as fast as before, but turned rhythmically, and sometimes it did not turn.

Seeing this, Hans said in surprise: "There are big fish!"

After more than two minutes of fighting, the underwater fish was still dragged out.

Hans guessed wrong. The fish was only about 30 centimeters long, not considered a big fish. It was silver-gray in appearance, with a flat body, a protruding back, and tiny scales. It had a graceful body shape.

After seeing this fish, the bearded Carl got up and shouted excitedly: "Salmon, this is a special salmon from Lake Powell!"

Salmon are freshwater and seawater twin fish. They are born in freshwater rivers and lakes. After living in freshwater for three to five years, they will return to the sea and grow in the sea.

When they are big enough to lay eggs, they will migrate all the way and return to the river to lay eggs again.

Salmon spawn is very tragic, they need to grind their belly to release the roe, which means that a salmon will die as soon as it finishes spawning!

The fish is still alive and obviously hasn't spawned yet, and salmon roe is very valuable, very precious, even more precious than their flesh in Western cuisine.

Everyone was happy to catch this fish, which meant that there was delicious food to eat at noon.

There are a lot of people fishing in Lake Powell, and everyone’s main target is salmon. For this reason, the Reservoir Management Bureau has specially set up a limit. Each person has a quota of four fish at most. If there are too many fish, they are not allowed to fish. The purpose is for sustainable development.

Fishermen obviously do not meet this quota, which has also become one of the reasons for pushing the dam to be removed. If the dam hadn't blocked the passage for salmon to migrate and spawn, there would not be so few salmon in the reservoir now.
