Chapter 675 674. Collaboratively Catching Big Fish (35)
Fishing for sockeye is not easy, they rarely eat bait because they stop eating when migrating from the ocean to fresh water.
At this time, fishing for sockeye is mainly based on luck, which is more difficult than fishing at sea.
Of course, there are sockeye salmon in the river, and the Colorado River is an important migration route for sockeye salmon, and there are plenty of fish in it.
In some places the river is clear, and they look down from the boat, and when the sockeye swims to the surface, they can visually see the fish.
Sockeye salmon are brightly colored and very easy to spot.
Brother Wolf did not participate in the fishing. He took care of the two little girls at the side. Seeing that Hans and the others hadn't caught anything, he said lightly, "Harpoon?"
Spearfishing is a common way of catching sockeye salmon, but it is mostly used in shallow waters such as small rivers and streams, and not so good in deep waters like this.
Small rivers and brooks use harpoons to catch fish. Even if they miss a hit, the red salmon will at most escape forward, backward, left, and right, and they can continue to catch.
But in such large river basins, spearfishing has only one chance, and if it misses, the sockeye tends to go deep into the water, and the harpoon is useless.
Hans shook his head and said, "It's not suitable to use a harpoon here, buddy. Using a harpoon also has a chance of catching fish. Using a harpoon will only scare them away."
"But we haven't caught a single fish with the hook yet." Da'ao said dejectedly.
Hans said: "We didn't meet the fish school, buddy, as long as we meet the position of the fish school, we will definitely catch the fish, I am confident."
Sockeye salmon always swim in groups to spawn, and when they enter the bay to rest, they also come in groups, and Hans is right, there is always something to be gained if you find out where the schools are.
It was up to Li Du, he called out the little flying insects and put them into the water, and searched in the water.
The water in the Colorado River is quite clear. The US government has shut down all heavily polluting enterprises along the coast, and uses agricultural aircraft to sow aquatic grass seeds into the water every year to control water pollution.
The vision of the flying insects is also unobstructed in the water. The depth of the water where they are located is about ten meters.
There are lush aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the bend, and there are small black and white fish swimming in it, and some river mussels are hiding in the mud and bubbling.
Among them, the most gorgeous life at the bottom of the river is the sockeye salmon, and the little flying insect saw four or five large fish with bright colors at a glance.
Most adult sockeye salmon can weigh more than two kilograms. They have just migrated from California Bend at this time, and they don't consume much fat in their bodies, so they look quite fat.
There are sockeye salmon here, but this is not where the school of fish is, only four or five fish are too dense to catch with a hook.
So Li Du directed Xiao Fei Chong to continue searching.
The little flying insects searched in the river bend, but they haven't found a school of sockeye salmon, but they have found a few interesting things.
Li Du took a rough look, then took out his mobile phone and searched online.
Seeing him playing with his mobile phone, Hans warned: "It's best not to take out precious things in waters where Asian carp live, otherwise they may be slapped into the water at any time."
Li Du had found the information he wanted, put away his phone with a smile, and said, "Okay, let's continue fishing."
The little flying insect searched the river for a while, and finally found a piece of bright red swimming fish.
This is where schools of sockeye salmon come in!
Hundreds of thousands of fat red salmon swim slowly in the water. Lush aquatic plants grow where they live, and some red salmon hide in the aquatic plants to rest.
The river here is not too deep, less than ten meters, probably only seven or eight meters.
Li Du grabbed a handful of bait and sprinkled it into the water. As the bait gradually fell into the water, the quiet fish began to stir, and some sockeye salmon swam around the bait.
All animals in nature have tropism, and sockeye salmon is no exception.
Although their nature is to stop eating after entering the freshwater basin, this is not absolute. They don't eat at all. Even if they don't eat, they will still be tempted when they encounter food.
Seeing a fish swimming towards the surface of the water through the vision of the little flying insect, Li Du patted the buttocks of the crispy noodle, and the crispy noodle immediately turned its buttocks, and put the thick furry tail into the water and shook it.
Seeing this, Ah Meow ran to the side, stretched out her paws and stared intently at the water.
This is the cooperative habit of the two. Simply use the tail to lure the big fish to take the bait, and Ah Miao took the opportunity to catch the fish with his claws.
Seeing the two of them cooperate, Hans smiled and said: "It's useless, Meow, don't stay there, there are no fish here, no fish will be lured out."
Not long after his words fell, two bright red figures appeared underwater.
Victoria noticed and shouted in surprise: "A fish appeared!"
Ivana quickly gave her a hand and whispered, "Be quiet, Victoria, you will scare away the fish."
The crispy noodle's tail swayed gently in the water. The raccoon's tail was very thick and hairy, and it would stick into strands after being touched with water, just like little furry bugs, and also resembled waterweed and seaweed swaying in the water.
A sockeye was tempted, it leaned forward stupidly, opened its mouth before biting the crispy noodle's tail, Ah Miao suddenly leaned forward and swung its claws fiercely!
'Shua', after the crisp sound of tearing the air, the crisp sound of water rang out again: "哗啦!"
The tiger cat's sharp claws pierced the red salmon's back like a machete, lifted it up, and lifted it directly to the boat.
Seeing this, Ah Ao excitedly stretched his neck and roared, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Victoria and Ivana applauded excitedly: "Wow, Ah Meow is amazing!"
The fish it caught was about 30 centimeters long and weighed no less than three kilograms. It had a round body, a round head and a round brain. It had a shiny appearance and looked good.
Ah Miao and Gan Gan stared at the fish and began to swallow their saliva. Li Du handed the fish to Brother Lang and said, "Let's deal with it first. Come on, you two continue to catch the fish."
There are not many people on board, but everyone has a big appetite, and one fish is not enough...
Crispy Noodles and Ah Miao watched anxiously as the big fish was taken away by Brother Lang. They didn't care to listen to Li Du's words, and stretched their necks to watch Brother Wolf's movements, for fear that he would throw it away like he had done with the Asian carp before.
Brother Lang skillfully cut off the head and tail of the fish, removed the internal organs, and then peeled the fish.
Seeing that he didn't throw away the fish, Crispy Mian and Ah Meow were relieved, it was their food.
Li Du dragged the two of them to the side of the boat and said, "Come on, continue fishing and eat later."
Crispy Noodles threw his tail into the water again, and Ah Miao squatted beside him, waiting for the fish to take the bait, without blinking his eyes, that was a concentration.
