fishing system

Chapter 171 Congo Jungle ([-])

Contrary to expectations, the waterfall that Yang Zi and the others visited this time is not the usual one-flow direct discharge.

There is a fault in the plain terrain here, with a drop of about [-] meters high. After the wide tributary passes through here, because of the division of rocks and terrain, it is divided into a dozen waterfalls of different sizes.

At this time, it is the receding stage of the rainy season. Under the washing of a large amount of river water day and night, a huge pool is formed under the waterfall. The clear river water is surging, which is very spectacular.

"Brother Yang, where do we start testing the depth?" Tan Ziqing asked near the waterfall.

"Let's go to the left first. The river bends here, and the water flow is more severe. If there is really deep water, it is more likely to be here." Yang Zi looked at the terrain and said.

He held a throwing rod in his hand, but instead of bait, the fishing rig was hung with several huge lead pendants, specially used to measure the depth.

Hearing what he said, Tan Ziqing talked to the boatman a few words, and the boat drove to the left side of the river quickly under the power propulsion.

Due to the rising water level on the river bank here, the river has overflowed into the jungle, so it is impossible to determine the location. After Yang Zi roughly estimated the distance, he dropped the lead drop about [-] meters away from the forest, and then turned on the open-line switch. , quietly waiting for the lead to fall to the ground.

The process in the middle was a bit longer than expected. Generally speaking, the depth of rivers in this kind of plain area is not bad if the depth is about ten meters.

However, according to the fishing lines released now, the depth of the river here is likely to exceed 30 meters.

Referring to the waterfall next to it with a large drop, he had a guess that there was a high possibility that there would be a rock layer under the river here.

One of the reasons is that this place is right at the break of the formation, and under the erosion of such a large drop of water, the surface soil will be lost quickly, and only the solid rock formation can bear it.

Another reason is because of the depth here.

After the fishing line was pulled out for a length of about 30 meters, the lead pendant finally reached the bottom. After deducting the deviation distance driven by the water flow, the actual depth was about [-] meters.

It is difficult for ordinary rivers to have such a depth.

In order to verify his idea, Yang Zi asked the boatman to drive the boat to a relatively gentle shoal on the right side, and after some investigation, he quickly found the evidence.

On the bottom of the river beside the shoal, there is basically no muddy ground, and it is all small gravel beaches.

Since it is a rock layer, there is no need to take the trouble to measure the depth. You can easily judge the depth of the river directly according to the trend of the river.

Looking around on the boat, Yang Zi quickly identified several suitable fishing spots, but he was not in a hurry to run over and cast down the rod.

Because it was already close to the afternoon, everyone had to fill their stomachs first, and all the fish caught yesterday were sacrificed to the Wu Zang Temple, so he had to use a small fishing rod to catch a few bait fish this time.

Throwing out a set of string hooks with earthworms hanging on them, and placing the fishing rod on the side of the boat, Yang Zi asked Tan Ziqing to watch for him while he ran to the side and started preparing lunch.

In order to hurry up, the meals he cooked this time were relatively simple.

Put some dried meat and rice to cook together, then take some ingredients prepared before the trip and put them away, and several delicious dishes are quickly prepared.

The fragrant rice is mixed with the meaty aroma and oil, and tastes soft and glutinous. The dried meat is cooked very crispy, and the texture is a mess. I am used to eating fish these days, but suddenly a different taste makes everyone happy. It is to eat with an open belly and feel full.

"Tan Zi, work has started. Tell the boatman that we will try the inside of the river bend first." After taking a short rest, Yang Zi began to formally prepare for fishing.

Taking advantage of the time to eat, his string hook has caught a few miscellaneous fish just now. Although there are not many, it is enough to be used as bait fish for the time being.

"Brother Yang, why don't we throw a few more fishing rods on the shore and start working at the same time? You have picked so many places, and it feels like a waste of time to explore them one by one." Tan Ziqing asked.

"Not fishing on a boat?" Yang Zi looked at the river bank on the shallow side, and began to frown to think about the feasibility.

Unlike the shore of the river bend we went to earlier, although the river bank between the shoal and the woods has also been submerged, the depth is very shallow.

This water level is barely above the shoe upper, which can basically rule out the approach of dangerous animals in the water. Even if there are ferocious beasts such as crocodiles inhabiting here, they have time to avoid them.

According to what Tan Ziqing said, it is completely possible to use this place for fishing.

However, there were three fishing spots that he was interested in before, and the distance between them was not close. Whether the three throwing poles could be arranged at the same time, he had to explore the extension width of this section of the shoal.

Thinking of this, Yang Zi no longer rushed to lower the pole, but asked the boatman to start the boat and sail slowly towards the upper reaches of the shoal.

If Cong Waterfall writes, the shape of this tributary here is very similar to an English letter C that expands at an angle. Their area at this time is probably at the upper bend.

The location of the shoal is the lower part of Wantou. After searching by Yang Zi and others, this fishing spot gave them a great surprise.

Except for the gravel shoal at the edge of the waterfall pool, which cannot be extended, almost all the river courses around other places are covered by it.

This distance does not gradually disappear until it is close to the middle of the C-shaped bay and away from the rapids of the waterfall.

Such a large area has included all the three fishing spots that Yang Zi had chosen, allowing him to fish with several fishing rods at the same time without affecting the effect.

Such a favorable terrain not only greatly shortens the time they spend searching for tiger fish, but the down-to-earth environment for walking fish is also better than the uncontrollable nature of fishing from a boat.

After all, the size of the African tiger fish is not surprising among giant freshwater fishes. The heaviest one is only about 100 kilograms. With the fishing gear they specially prepared, they can definitely compete with the opponent in a tug of war at a fixed point without losing weight.

After surveying the terrain, the next step is to officially start fishing.

Yang Zi prepared the three throwing poles on the boat, and then took three bolt-type fixing frames and alarms, and got off the boat barefoot.

The several fishing spots selected this time are all about a hundred or ten meters apart. One is a large pool under the waterfall, and the other two are on the periphery of the bay.

In fact, the large pool is large enough to put two fishing rods in, but Bu Nai had no such plan before coming, so he only brought three throwing rods in total. Now he could only try to pick a good spot.

After wading to the right end of the shoal, Yang Zi inserted several fishing rods into the water, then turned on the pay-off switch of one of them, and flung them towards the distant water surface.

The little Luo Fei hanging on the poor fishing rig flew over 80 meters of water and fell into the river hard. Not to mention the mess, he was dragged all the way by the lead pendant before he recovered. sank to the bottom of the river.

　A bit out of context, but running out of time.
