Chapter 568: Frustration

In order to catch big fish, the smell and itch had to be endured, Hong Tao put the fishing rod on the railing of the boat, took out the smoke, and stared at the movement of the fishing rod while blasting away the mosquitoes.

I don't know if the fishing spot is in the wrong position, or the bait is not smelly enough, I waited for more than an hour, but the two fishing rods did not move at all, and there was no bite. The fish were not caught, but the mosquitoes harvested a lot, and those gadgets pounced on the face and hands one after another, sometimes one slap can kill 2, and if the action is a little slow, there will be a small red spot on the skin.

"I'll have another victory cigarette, the reason why I didn't catch the fish is probably because I didn't smoke enough!" Hong Tao was not in a hurry except for letting the mosquitoes harass him tirelessly.

In the past, when fishing in domestic reservoirs, let alone waiting for an hour, sometimes it took 2 or 3 days to make a nest, and if you were impatient, then simply don't fish. And this kind of giant fish is relatively scarce in that water, and it is normal for a person to catch it when he takes the bait, which is not scientific at all, and it is normal if he can't catch it.

But there is no hurry, there is still a mood to want to fish, so Hong Tao has developed a habit, that is, to blame all kinds of small things for not being in the fish. For example, the number of cigarettes smoked is not enough, the posture of sitting is not right, the fishing rod is not neatly arranged, and so on, so that you can still find something to do, disperse and distract your energy, so that you don't just stare at the fishing rod, so that the more you look at it, the more annoying it becomes.

"Don't worry, I'll sprinkle half a bucket of stinky meat again, maybe the taste is not enough." Hong Tao was not in a hurry, but Anaya couldn't sit still, the smell on his body had just been blown away by the small wind, and now he was going to throw the bait in a speedboat, and the reason he said Hong Tao didn't believe it, he didn't need to smell it in the water if the smell was enough, and he knew that it was pure when he smelled Anaya!

God appreciated Anaya's dedication to service, and he was gracious. Hong Tao's fishing rod finally moved. Shortly after Anaya came back from throwing another half bucket of stinky water, Hong Tao's fishing rod standing behind the railing suddenly shook twice, and before Hong Tao could reach out to grab it, the entire fishing rod was pulled away from the overtime and swayed back and forth on the railing.

"Haha, here it is! Fat man, sturgeon, I'm moving here! Be careful over there, I guess we're catching up with this wave! Hong Tao copied the fishing rod in his hand with a single arrow step, and while stretching the fishing rod and slowly reeling the line, he shouted at the fat cloth and sturgeon on the bow of the boat. Remind them to be careful not to let the rod run away.

Although the action of the fish is very fierce, after Hong Tao collected a few circles of the line, his heart was cold, because from the point of view, the fish in the water is not big, but the force is quite large, but the weight is insufficient.

"It's Satan's duckbill, but it's underage...... and sure enough. A few minutes later, the biting fish was pulled to the side of the boat without even a chance to struggle. Anaya held a bright light and was also very depressed. I grabbed the line and dragged it up.

Lying on the deck of the ship was a flower fish more than a foot long, its main color was white, but it was covered with large black round spots, if it were not for the four long whiskers on its mouth. At first glance, it really looks like a class star shark. Although it was not large, it was not small when the mouth was all open, and the large hook was stuffed in its mouth. Only half of the meat on top is left.

"This is the Satan Plackbill? It's not the same as the one in the picture, huh? "Hong Tao didn't even take a photo, grabbed its tail and threw it back into the river, this kind of gadget is not worth wasting batteries.

"When it grows up, these spots will be gone, you hang another piece of meat, and I'll pull it over for you." Anaya jumped onto the speedboat again, and as a result, Hongtao's hook launched the speedboat and headed for the opposite shore with the fishing line.

"Got on the fish? What about fish? At this moment, the fat man came from the bow of the boat with a cigarette in his mouth, and he would have thought of it, so he took out the hat of the hunting suit and put it on his head, leaving only a face, so as to prevent the mosquitoes from burrowing into his neck.

"It's too small, throw it back, it's so big." Hong Tao gestured with his hand.

"It is said that I threw down so much stinky broth, the taste is enough, it's been 2 hours, even if the big fish swims slowly, it should follow the taste, isn't it in the wrong location? Why don't we talk to Anaya and try a different place? "Fat Bu is a little anxious and plans to change the fishing position.

"Don't toss it, it's a dark day, it's dangerous to drive a boat, and you can't see where it's suitable or not, let's fish steadfastly, if you can't catch it today, we'll come back tomorrow, where is the big fish so easy to catch!" Hong Tao didn't agree to change places, he mainly considered it from a safety point of view, the river flow speed is very fast, if you go upriver in the dark, in case you hit a reef or something, it will be troublesome, and if you don't get it, you have to let the Satan plackbill be a supper.

"yes, then let's see." The fat man felt that what Hong Tao said was also reasonable, so don't toss in the dark, and went back to the bow of the boat again.

This wait is more than 3 hours, until more than 2 o'clock in the morning, the big Satan platypus is still missing, the little Satan is up several, Hong Tao and the fat cloth have harvested, but unfortunately the largest is less than half a meter long, except for one that was pierced through the head by a fish hook, seeing that it can't live, the others are thrown back, let them continue to grow, but also leave some hope for future generations.

Although after 12 o'clock, the fog at the water's edge became heavier, and the mosquitoes couldn't fly, but just fishing for these small fish was still very boring, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Hong Tao didn't let Anaya throw the remaining bucket of stinky water into the water again, but chose to rest and try another place the next day.

And Anaya looks quite tired, not only does he have to throw the stinky meat, but he also has to drive the speedboat to help Hong Tao and the fat man throw bait, although he doesn't say it himself, but we can't pretend not to see, so that people can't be called to death, so that once or twice, everyone will have an opinion.

After a little supper, everyone put away the fishing rods, and then they all hid in the hammocks in the cabin, and even if there were no mosquitoes outside, no one dared to go to the deck to sleep, because in addition to mosquitoes, there were blood-sucking bats and other insects, and it was enough to catch up with any of them.

The next day, after breakfast, the boat began to make its way up the river again, and they needed to find a place with similar terrain as the previous night, first there must be a hole in the riverbank, then the water must be deep enough, and finally there must be a place to stop the boat.

Fortunately, the river has always been twisted and crooked, basically the terrain of each bend of the river is similar, and after walking a few kilometers upstream, I finally found a sharp turn in the river, where the water depth near the left bank is more than 8 meters, and the current is very rapid, and the place near the right bank is a shallow, the current is also very calm, and the boat can just stop here.

But you can't fish it yet, because those satanic platypus are nocturnal fish, and they will definitely not be caught in the daylight. But Hong Tao and they are not idle, can't they fish for Satan platypus, can't they catch other fish? As for bait, it was easier to do it, so Anaya went up to the river bank with a shovel, and in a short time dug up a few things that were said to be earthworms.

Why do you say so? Because this earthworm is too powerful, they are longer than Hong Tao's belt, the shovel handle is thick, black and not slippery, and the whole body is slimy, and it looks so infiltrating. It seems that in the Amazon basin, not only fish, beetles, butterflies, and parrots have grown big, but earthworms are not far behind.

This kind of earthworm obviously can't be hung on the hook whole, so you can only use a knife to cut them into strips of meat, and then hook them, fortunately, their flesh skin toughness is very good, and you don't want the domestic earthworms to pinch it is a stream of water.

The earthworm is known as the all-purpose bait, which means that almost all fish in freshwater love to eat it. This universal bait really deserves its name, a few minutes after the hook has a harvest, Hong Tao actually caught a perch, the size is not small, there is a small 2 catties.

"It's peacock bass! The number is very small, and many people can't catch it if they want to. Seeing that Hong Tao casually threw the fish into the bucket, intending to serve it as lunch, Anaya quickly picked up the fish again.

"Peacock bass?" Hong Tao looked at the fish with three black vertical bars on its body, and didn't think it looked like a peacock.

"You see, when you put it in the water, it changes color." Anaya grabbed the fish with her hands and put it in the bucket. Sure enough, as soon as the fish's body was touched by water, it immediately changed into several colors, which was really beautiful, and the most peacock-like thing was that it had a big black spot on its tail, which was very similar to the tail feathers of a peacock.

Since it is a precious fish species in the Amazon, it must have a few souvenirs, after taking photos, Hong Tao did not let go of this fish, he was tired of eating grilled pirana, he decided to cook himself at noon, and added a steamed sea bass to everyone, as for its small number, now I can't take care of it.

In addition to this peacock bass, Fat Bu and Sturgeon also caught a few strange fish that they had never seen before, some pike with sharp teeth, some colorful tropical fish, and more fish that were not on the map, some of which could not even be named by Anaya.

Of course, the largest number of piranhas and bagu fish are the main goods in the Amazon basin, which are the small white stripes and wheat ears in China, and they can be found wherever there is water. It doesn't matter if you hang a meat bait or a vegetarian bait, as long as there is something on the hook, they will rush up and bite it, even if they can't bite the food, it is not in vain to bite other fish.

Speaking of biting other fish, there is a terrible phenomenon here, since Hong Tao and the three of them came here, they have hardly seen a fish with a full beard and a full tail, either the tail is rotten, or the fins are broken. The main culprit for this is the various piranhas, that is, piranhas, that live here. (To be continued......)
