Shitan fortune-telling

I miss the days of fishing after school in the countryside.

It was in the 1970s, when we were in primary school, we fished in the Tokyo River behind the house.

At that time, the fishing tools were very common, and even today's fishing friends are amazed. At that time, if you didn't want to spend money to buy hooks and fishing lines from blind fortune tellers, you would use the green line used by your mother to mend clothes as a fishing line, then tie a hook pin that burned red under a kerosene lamp and bend it into a line.

The fishing rod directly uses the dead reed stem cut by parents as firewood. A better fishing rod is bamboo as thick as a dead reed. As for the bait, it's even simpler. Just dig those fat and thick gray earthworms in the vegetable garden or other corners.

The buoy is made of garlic stalks hanging under the eaves of the house. After school or holidays, we will take our fishing rods to the river for fishing.

A group of teenagers, looking for a place by the river, threw their homemade fishing rods into the river and squatted to watch the movement of the floating mark on the fishing line.

There were many fish at that time. They swam around the river in droves, and some fish even deliberately rushed out of the water to meet fishermen.

Soon, my buoy began to nod on the water. Don't worry, you can't see the buoy when it is completely submerged. Then I feel heavy when I mention the fishing rod. As a silver aperture passed by, a crucian carp was put into the bucket.

It's delicious to catch ginseng fish on a hot day. First of all, the fishing rod is special. Generally, the bamboo stick on the bamboo broom is tied to the top of the bamboo, and the fishing line is tied to the thin bamboo stick.

Catch some white maggots in any toilet, and then scatter them on the river, which will immediately attract many ginseng and fish to grab food. At this time, there is no need for bait, just throw it with an empty hook, and some fish will accidentally cut on the hook.

Of course, because most of the hooks are hung on the fish, the fish will soon be thrown onto the river slope by the hooks, and it will automatically fall down. Don't take the hook out of the fish mouth at all.

Of course, you should throw the hook in front of those who grab food faster. For example, if you throw 100 times a minute, at least 20 fish will be caught by the hook, but sometimes it will be empty. Sometimes the fish is not caught by the hook and then falls into the river.

You keep throwing it into the water, bring it in quickly, and then throw it again. Between this toss and mention, a fish was hooked by a hook and then thrown on the river slope. Throw it for a while, and you can pick up those trophies on the river slope.

The most interesting thing about fishing is snakehead fishing. Fishing for snakehead is usually during the summer vacation. The fishing rod you use must be a thick bamboo rod, and the reed rod used to catch sea cucumber fish is useless. How can a dead reed stem stand the pull of snakehead? As soon as the snakehead took the bait, as soon as you lifted the reed pole to death, the fishing pole was already broken by the snakehead.

Use a small bamboo pole to buy thick silk thread and a hook suitable for snakehead fishing from a blind fortune teller, and then hang a small frog on the hook.

In the pond in front of the house or in the ditch beside the paddy field, look for places with many lotus leaves or heads of chickens. In particular, look for a blank water surface surrounded by two or three lotus leaves or chicken heads.

The blank water surface is particularly clear, as described by Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, in Little Stone Pond, as clear as a fish swimming in the air.

You lift the soil frog hanging on the hook up and down from the water and put it in blank water, twitching several times repeatedly.

The snakehead saw a local frog jumping up and down in its comfortable nest, which destroyed the tranquility of our ancient black treasure land. So it bit the frog on the hook in one bite. Your fishing rod will sink with the tide.

When you say late, you mean fast. Pull the fishing rod hard. A snakehead jumped on the fishing rod for half a year.

Sometimes in some ponds or ditches, I see a nest of small black fish eggs crawling around on the water, and there are many small bubbles surging on the water. We are commonly known as the five sons of the snake head.

Where there are black scorpions, there are two big black fish, a male and a female, which are kept around the black scorpions and are easy to catch. Of course, we don't usually do this. If the big black fish is caught, who will take care of the little black fish? When black children grow up, we children always catch them.

Time has passed, and the Dongjing River has already been cut off, and in order to build the Wuhan Outer Ring Expressway in my hometown, the river has already been filled up for construction. As for the ditches in paddy fields, fish farmers have also dug irrigation canals.

When the ditch is not used, the ditch is very dry and the soil at the bottom of the ditch is exposed. When it is used, the river is pumped out of the river, and no fish can play in the ditch anymore. However, in my hometown, many domestic fish ponds are all over the fields.

Time is like a butcher knife. It suddenly killed the last romance of childhood, leaving only memories.
