What is good for fishing eel?

There are many strange people in the country. They are experts in catching Monopterus albus, and A Si is one of them. This kind of greasy thing in other people's hands is simply fun in his hands. Like a pet he's had for years. His other stunt surprised me even more!

A Si often gropes around ponds and ditches, finds suspicious caves or holes, puts his hand in, and fishes out an eel in just a few seconds. Skilled movements are like fishing for vegetables from your own kimchi jar! I've always wondered how he knew which caves had eel and which caves didn't. God knows if those eels didn't dare to provoke him before they deliberately ran into his hands. I've done something similar before. I saw an eel sticking its head out of the hole near the ridge, so I reached for it. But where can I catch it? Eels usually shrink to the bottom of the hole before they can be shot. Unwilling, I dug down the cave and finally dug a big pit. Half a body went in, but I didn't even see the shadow of eel. The only achievements are those caves with several exits. Put your hand or foot into one of the holes and move the piston continuously, so that the water pressure increases and the water becomes turbid gradually. Most Monopterus albus will escape from one of the holes because they can't bear such great pressure. At this time, they should be quick-eyed and quick-handed. This method is the legendary "through eel".

My favorite thing is fishing for eels. In the summer of my childhood, this was almost a compulsory course for me every day.

The fishing tool of Monopterus albus is very simple, and the self-made hook will do. Fine steel wire for cutting bricks and tiles is the best material, which has both strength and toughness. Cut it into more than a foot long, sharpen one end, then clamp it with pliers and bend it into a hook shape. The hook should be as small as possible, preferably about 0.5 cm. Put the earthworm on the hook and gently put it into the hole. If there are eels, they usually bite. If the hand suddenly feels tight, it means that the eel has caught the hook. Just pull the hook out slowly at this time. It should be noted that when the eel is pulled out in half, it is best to hold it with your hands first, and then slowly pull out the eel with your hands and hooks. If the hook is loosened by the eel's mouth at this time, or the eel's mouth is broken, it will only continue to lure. Adjust the bait, then put the hook in, feel the eel bite the hook gently, then gently shake the bait and lead it to the hole step by step. At this time it can watch how it goes down. If you bite, pull it out; If you don't bite the hook, just nibble around the edge of the hook, you should constantly adjust the position and direction of the hook. First, put the hook flat and aim at the gap in the eel's mouth. Once you find yourself distracted, immediately stab the hook into its mouth with lightning speed, and then pull it, and you're done! But this method is too lethal and generally not suitable. Because the force is too strong, it is easy to stab the throat or even the stomach, and the eel caught usually dies soon. This method is only used for those who are extremely cunning and difficult to deal with in half an hour.

Every day when I come home from school, I throw away my schoolbag, regardless of my homework, pick up an iron hook, dig a few earthworms and set off. Ridges, ditches on both sides, ponds near weirs and stone piles on Lijiayan are all excellent places to fish Monopterus albus. Only a few are harvested every day, but it's fun. Put them in the old pool and wait for a certain amount, or cut open their bellies and make them into delicious food by hand; Or give it to grandpa to help me send it to a restaurant in town and exchange money for pocket money. I have saved dozens of dollars at most, and I can't use it all in a summer vacation. That was a great fortune in those days!

It is best to shoot Monopterus albus around the Dragon Boat Festival. Monopterus albus likes to lie down during the day and come out at night. Generally, it lurks in caves during the day and comes out at night. Prepare two tools according to the needs of eel. First, lighting tools, many people use flashlights or flashlights, but the best is a tool called calcium carbide lamp. The fuel of calcium carbide lamp is a kind of thing called calcium carbide, which reacts with water to generate acetylene, and the combustion brightness is extremely high. The production is also very simple: find two old cans, one big and one small. A tiny hole is opened in the slightly smaller upper part, which is filled with calcium carbide, sealed with plastic sheets, and several small holes are poked for water; The big one is used to hold water and is fixed on the pole. When the small box is locked in the big box, calcium carbide reacts with water to generate acetylene, which is ejected from the small hole. At this time, you only need to use a little fire, a flame can make the water Tian Liang as white as day, and even a needle can be seen clearly! Two, eel clip: take three bamboos, all cut into the same shape and size, with teeth at the end. Tie two pieces into a group, the other piece is sandwiched between the two pieces, so that the serrations mesh with each other, and the middle is fixed with nuts.

One is holding a calcium carbide lamp, and the other is holding an eel clip, patrolling in the green field. Open your eyes and ears. When watching Monopterus albus in rice fields, you should walk carefully. Don't step on frogs, toads and "green bamboo signs". Between the scattered seedlings, a few lazy rice eels lay sparsely. At this time, just clamp it with a clip and put it directly into the "basket".

The stars in the distance and the moving flames are the same as those of the eel. Frogs in the four fields burst in bursts, and occasionally a breeze blows, mixed with the unique rice fragrance, which is quite a bit of the artistic conception of Xin Qiji's Xijiang Moon: "The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze sings at midnight. In the fragrance of rice flowers, it is said that the harvest is good and the frogs are heard ... "Ordinary farm life can be so poetic.
