Chapter 283: Wild Swimming Competition
In addition, fish have very limited memory, ranging from a few seconds to tens of seconds, what does this mean? This means that the fish enter a new world every ten seconds, they can't remember so many things, let alone what they did yesterday, what they ate, all their choices are determined by their instincts or habits that they have cultivated over a long period of time. This is also for what fish, some fish will be caught dozens or even hundreds of times by anglers in decades of their lives, and they belong to the kind of things that remember to eat but not remember.
It is precisely because you have partially understood these habits of fish that when fishing, you have to arrange your fishing positions, fishing spots and bait according to their habits, which should be attractive to them without arousing their alarm. In this kind of natural waters, if you want to catch large fish, the effect of using synthetic baits with various flavors is very bad, while the effect of using more natural bait, such as various insects, natural grains, small fish and shrimp, is more prominent.
Because many things are not easy to store and catch, so slowly, corn beans as a universal bait, has been gradually widely used, it is cheap, and can be stored for a long time, relatively speaking, it is easy to carry, easy to process, and not afraid of invasion, it is the best choice for fishing big fish in various natural waters.
In fact, Hong Tao could have used his special effect bait to increase his catch, but he didn't plan to use it as soon as he came up. Fishing is not fishing, and the fun and attraction of it is the process rather than the final catch.
When you and your fishing friends have caught your catch by your own labor, waiting, and suffering by the water's edge, the joy is indescribable. But if the process of catching fish is too easy, fishing becomes a very tiring physical task, and all your fun will disappear in the constant casting of the rod, the fish, the hook, and the casting.
Hong Tao is not short of this catch, he doesn't eat much freshwater fish, similarly, Boss Liu and Wang Jian are not short of fish to eat, and those foreigners don't eat most of the freshwater fish at all. No matter how much you fish, the process is too simple and boring.
But Hong Tao also kept a hand, he still brought a box of real special effects bait that is not sold in the fishing tackle store, so as to save the emergency when there is really no fish to take the bait, as mentioned above, it is too simple and boring to catch a fish, but not a single fish is on, and it is even more boring. Fishing is a sport, this is this virtue, anglers are such cheap bones!
When Hong Tao and the three of them finished all the work on the nest, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Two large canopies have already been erected on the shore, and with two RVs, it has become a complete campsite. At this time, Boss Liu and 3 foreign old men are sitting on the recliner under the canopy drinking tea and chatting, where the grass is everywhere, the water and the sky are colorful, and there are gusts of cool breeze blowing from the water, even in the middle of summer, it will not feel particularly stuffy.
"Hong Tao, help me apply sunscreen, I'm going to go swimming. The water here is clear. Erin didn't follow Hong Tao to the nest, she ran back to the carriage and changed into a swimsuit, her arms and legs were covered with white sunscreen, and she was holding a bottle. Let Hong Tao help her wipe her back.
"Hey, Gail, aren't you going to go down for a swim?" Hong Tao took the bottle and squeezed the sunscreen from it. Rubbing it on Erin's back, she turned her head and shouted under the canopy.
"Good idea, just this toss. I'm also sweating, let's go, change into swimming trunks. The first to respond was Boss Liu, who put the teacup on the table and walked to the carriage.
Soon, there was a row of light pig warriors standing on the water's edge, among which there was also a light pig lady, and under the leadership of Hong Tao, everyone found a suitable place to go into the water in the bay on the right side of the fishing position, where there was a relatively flat big stone on the shore, and the water was relatively deep.
"Plop!"
"Hey, I'm X, you're two hundred and five, you're going to die!" The first person to go into the water was Liu Gang, who was stunned and stabbed down from the big stone with a fierce son, and scolded Hong Tao with hatred.
In such wild natural waters, especially in unfamiliar waters, you must be careful when entering the water, and it is best to wear wading shoes and do not step barefoot on the bottom of the water. You don't know what's under the water here, let alone broken glass ballast, even tree roots, shell shards, sharp gravel can cut the soles of your feet at any time, and if the wound is too big, then your trip will be in vain, and you will have to run to the hospital immediately.
In addition to not being barefoot in the water, another thing to pay attention to is not to rush to the stab, the same reason, you don't know about the underwater environment, once there is any obstacle in the water, then you have to pray that your head is harder than the obstacle, otherwise it will hit your head and break the bloodstream, or you will die a whimper.
"This bear child, I have to smoke him when I come up!" Boss Liu also understood this truth, picked up a small stone and threw it at Liu Gang's head who had just emerged from the water, but he didn't throw it, Liu Gang didn't care, and he was still fluttering in the water.
"Let's go into the water, Liu Gang has helped us detect the thunder, don't swim too far!" Hong Tao was relieved when he saw that there was nothing to do underwater, and everyone said that they could swim, so let's play by themselves.
"Hong Tao...... Come here, it's cool in the water......" Erin is wearing a yellow split swimsuit, like a mermaid in the water, her swimming skills are very good, and she is also very energetic.
"You guys play, I'll just do it here." Hong Tao waved at her and did not leave the shore. It's not that he can't swim, nor is he afraid of the depths of the water, he has to guard the inflatable boat on the shore, in case of an accident, he can rush over to rescue him as soon as possible, come out to play safety first, and would rather be unhappy than go back alone.
Not to mention, Boss Liu and Gail their 4 old men's swimming skills are really good, and the physical strength is good one by one, the 4 people swam to the other side of the bay together, and soon came back, there is a distance of about 500 meters back and forth, and there is no big pant after going ashore, Hong Tao estimates that he will swim at this level, but he guesses that he is in his 20s, and the youngest is more than 50.
"Captain, your physical fitness is declining very quickly, and you are about to be overtaken by Harrison's army." In the end, Pavey won the championship of these four old men, he was more than 20 meters faster than Gale in second place, and the gap between Harrison and Boss Liu was relatively large, and Pavey was still 100 meters away when he came ashore.
"In a few years, I don't think even Harrison will be able to catch up, age, I can't ...... if I don't admit defeat," Old Gale rubbed his legs, very helpless.
"Hong Tao, let's compare? A back and forth to see who comes back first. Pavi was clearly not happy and began to challenge Hong Tao again.
"I'm not comparing, I'm swimming with the Navy, my brain must be in the water, only Harrison will be fooled." Hong Tao is very calm, although he has been able to swim since he was a child, and he has been churning in the back sea for more than ten years, but compared with swimming in a real navy like Pavey, even if he is old, he is not of the same magnitude.
"Erin, go swimming with Uncle Pavey, your little lover is a softie." As soon as Pavey saw that Hong Tao was not fooled, he began to pull Erin to compete with him again, wanting to anger Hong Tao with this.
"Your buoyancy is too great, it's not fair, I don't compare with you." Erin pouted Pavey back with a word, and the big fat man was so angry that his face turned red.
"Erin is right, you see you still have an inflator on your belly, it's cheating!" Harrison and Boss Liu also swam back at this time, and they both laughed when they heard Erin's words, and Harrison took advantage of the situation to squeeze Pavey's size.
"I don't have the same knowledge as a broken army, this is given to me by God, if the two of us fall into the sea, you should be jealous of my belly." Pavey patted his big belly and walked triumphantly towards the RV, deciding not to meet these ignorant skinny people, because he was forever alone on the subject, without any help.
After swimming, my body was refreshed, and things came. The first to cry out for sleepiness was Boss Liu, who only hung on the recliner for a few minutes, and as soon as the water on his body dried, he ran back to the carriage to sleep. Then Liu Gang, Gail, Pavey and Harrison also responded, and each went to the carriage to find a bed and stared, leaving Wang Jian, Hong Tao and Erin to complete the following work.
