If you also plan to use a watch to measure the water depth, then you must pay attention to the waterproof depth on your watch, such as 3 meters, then you must not measure the water depth of more than 3 meters, when the water pressure becomes larger, your watch is likely to enter the water and be scrapped, in order to measure the depth and lose a watch of hundreds or thousands is not worth it.

In fact, at this time, there is already a device called a fish finder, which can detect water depth, water temperature, underwater topography, etc., which is much more convenient than the method used by Hong Tao. However, this time everyone forgot to prepare this device, and it was not until they reached the water's edge that they remembered it, so they had to use a watch instead.

So if everyone doesn't have a waterproof watch with a depth gauge, won't this water depth be detectable? The answer is: Yes. The method is simpler, you tie a dead knot of the rope every meter or two meters, and then tie a stone to sink into the water, and then lift it up after hitting the bottom, and count the knots. Anglers can detect the depth of the water, and the accuracy is plus or minus 1 meter, and it does not need to be very accurate.

Hong Tao and Erin controlled the inflatable boat, tested multiple positions, and finally determined the first fishing spot with the right water depth and distance, and then Hong Tao picked up a white foam float, cut the rope in the water on the water surface, and then tied the float to the rope head, this fishing spot was determined, with this float, when the angler stood on the shore and threw the rod, there was a reference, and the nest material would also hit the vicinity of the float.

Here comes the trick again, this kind of float is sold in shops that sell fishing nets, a few dollars a piece, it is a solid styrofoam material, which can be recycled many times and used for a long time. If you don't have this kind of float, then you can use the kind of plastic bottles of mineral water and various fruit juice drinks instead, remember to tighten the cap when putting it in the water, and if you want to make it easier to observe at night, you can stuff a few glow-in-the-dark sticks for fishing into the bottle, and you can also see the green bottle on the water at night.

After another half a day of measurement, the second long-distance fishing spot was finally determined. At this time, Irene's little face was already a little red, Hong Tao asked her to change into a sunscreen suit with a hat, she disdained it, and now she also knew that she was powerful, so she had to lift the front of Hong Tao's sunscreen clothing and stuff her head into it to hide.

Alas, it's all tips and awesome common sense, so it's a free giveaway!

In the summer, the water's edge is different from the land, and the sunlight radiation at the water's edge is much stronger than on land, mainly because the water surface reflects a lot of sunlight. As a result, you will not only be exposed to direct sunlight from the sky at the water's edge, but also radiated by reflected light from the water surface.

Therefore, in the summer to the water, the seaside activities, it is best to apply PA++ or above sunscreen oil, which can be waterproof better, and if there are conditions, it is best to wear special sunscreen clothing to protect your skin, so that a sports and leisure activity eventually becomes an activity harmful to your body, so that some gains outweigh the losses.

Measure the two fishing spots. And place the float, the next step is to make a nest. This step is relatively simple, that is, a bucket of corn beans soaked in a small amount of liquor and water for several days is sprinkled on both sides of the float on a boat, and the specific distance is how long. It depends on the number of rods you want to use, so if you have more rods, you will scatter more, and if you have fewer rods, you will scatter less.

However, if it is the first time to sprinkle the nest, it is better to sprinkle more. In order to attract fish as soon as possible, when there are already fish in the nest, the nest material does not need to be sprinkled so much. You can make up for it once or twice a day, and a few pounds each time is enough.

If you want to catch large fish, it is best to stagger the time to make up the nest from 4 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 8 pm, because these two times are the most active time for fish feeding, and the cunning big fish are likely to bite your hook during this time period.

Hong Tao did not let Erin follow the boat to the sun again this time, but drove the boat to the nest, the boat is equipped with a boat thruster, a skilled angler can control the nest alone, if it is by a double oar, then it has to be two people, because the water in this large water area is current, and there is wind on the water, it is difficult for a person to use the oar to control the boat while playing the nest, if the nest is not accurate, it will affect the catch.

There are also several different styles of using corn beans as nest material in natural waters, which can be roughly divided into three types:

The first is to throw corn beans on a large area of the fishing point, usually spread dozens of square meters or even hundreds of square meters of water bottom, forming a very scattered area, using the method of increasing the area to increase the fish attraction function of corn beans, so that the fish can be more easily found, so as to enter the nest to feed;

The second is to throw corn beans in a small area on the fishing spot, with an area of only a few square meters, so as to form a dense bait area composed of corn beans at the bottom of the water;

The third type is more special, the angler will use a small boat to pull the hook to the fishing spot, and then put it into the water, and then throw a few handfuls of corn beans where the hook falls into the water;

Hong Tao had used these three methods in his previous life, but he didn't know which method was more effective, but personally, he preferred the second method, because he belonged to the kind of angler who was only willing to catch big fish and not catch more, and he thought that the second method was more suitable for his requirements.

In fact, each of these three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. The first method is more effective in attracting fish, because the area is large, so the chance of being spotted by fish is also high. However, it is precisely because of the large area and the large number of corn beans that the chance of the bait on the hook you throw in these corn beans being eaten by the fish becomes smaller, so this method is often that there are fish in the nest, but the rate of medium fish is not high;

The second method of luring fish has a worse effect, but due to the concentration of nest material, the angler can deliberately throw the hook around the nest material through his own casting technique, so that once a fish is lured over, then the first thing it encounters is likely to be the bait on your hook, so this way to lure fish slowly but the fish rate is slightly higher;

As for the third method, Hong Tao uses it the least, because this method requires anglers to row the boat frequently to send the hook to the fishing point, which is very tiring and very hard, which is a relatively alternative way.

Speaking of which, we are going to talk about the feeding habits of fish, which are mainly fish that grow in natural waters. These fish grow in natural waters since childhood, they live by eating all kinds of debris in the water, rarely can eat corn beans and other grains, let alone those commercial bait produced from the factory, so they are wary of these things, the larger the size and the older the growth of the fish, the more wary these unknown food will be.

They usually swim regularly in the water along a habitual route, which is often referred to as a fishway by anglers. No matter how skilled you are and how high-tech your gear is, if you can't get your bait close to the waterway, your catch won't be good.

Freshwater fish have proven through scientific research over the years that many of them are full color blindness or hemicolor blindness, which means that their sensitivity to color is very low, even if they can recognize color, that is, one or two, which is related to the environment in which they usually live.

In addition to color, their main means of foraging is their sense of smell, and they can usually smell their favorite food from a few hundred meters away. As for what is their favorite food, it depends on the environment they have been exposed to since childhood.

The favorite food of fish in different waters is different, but one thing is certain, their so-called favorite taste is not the fragrance that we humans understand, but the taste of nutrients exuded from the food, that is, fish can distinguish the content of various nutrients in the food, such as protein content, etc., and they will choose the kind of food with a relatively high content of substances they need to eat.
