Winter in North America is actually when the crime rate is the highest. The weather is cold and the roads are slippery. If you commit a crime in the suburbs, in other seasons, the police will arrive in three minutes. But in this season, let alone three minutes, thirteen The police may not be able to arrive within minutes.
So this is also the favorite season for thugs, but compared to its little brother Canada, the United States is still much better, because they have more people here and recruit more workers, so there are some The smaller roads were too late to be cleared, but the main roads were cleared quickly. As for Canada, there are 35 million people in the country, occupying the second largest land area in the world.
Of course, the land is vast and the people are sparse... In Canada, the salary of cleaners is the highest.
But even so, cleaners still can't recruit people. There are really too few, so the main roads are not easy to clean in Canada. It's okay in the city. Once you leave the city, almost everywhere is a snow-white world. .
So although Philemon and Jiang Hai are not afraid of trouble, there is no need to cause trouble. Safety comes first when they go out to play, so they chose this river nearby. After all, it is very close to Winthrop.
What? The river is close to people, but there are no fish in the river? In fact, there is no need to think about this at all. Where is this place? American emperor!
They basically don't eat river fish, so as long as there is water, there will never be a shortage of fish here.
After Jiang Hai and the other three parked the car, they got out of the car with their things. Harriman looked very happy. It was obvious that he had not come over for a while since he had a stable job, and he looked very happy. .
I took out the sledgehammer and iron fiber from the car, got out of the car, and went to open the ice first.
There are actually things to pay attention to when opening ice. It doesn’t mean that you can just go up and make a hole and you can fish. If you don’t make the hole well, it will easily crack the ice cap. If you fall in, you will be in trouble. .
Therefore, breaking ice is actually a technical job, and those who have never done it are unlikely to be able to do it.
It is necessary to first smash the surrounding ice with iron fibers, then cut it, and then use iron claws to pull the piece of ice out of the ice hole. This will work. Jiang Hai is no stranger to such actions. As an ordinary **** in Bingcheng, when he passes by the riverside in Bingcheng every winter, he can often see many people taking ice in some remote places.
Otherwise, where do you think those ice lanterns, ice sculptures and other ice come from
But I know he has done it before. Fortunately, Philemon and Harriman are veterans.
Not long after, the piece of ice was dug out. It was a square ice cave with a diameter of about one and a half meters and not very regular. For Jiang Hai and the others, it was enough.
After digging the ice cave, Philemon here first lit a fire on the ice city next to it to roast them.
Raising a fire on the ice will not melt the ice, but they may squat or sit on the ice city for a long time, but it will freeze them to death. It is much more comfortable to have a fire burning them, here Philemon raised the fire, and Harriman over there was ready to set the hook.
In fact, ice fishing is very easy for North Americans, because you only need to break the ice and get some bait to attract the Asian carp on the upper layer. Just like now, Jiang Hai can clearly see Once there, the shadows of a few fish just passed over the water, but the American people don't eat Asian carp, so they didn't catch this kind of fish through the ice.
As for the native fish of the United States, it takes some time to catch these good fish.
"These are fishing baits." Seeing Jiang Hai looking over, Harriman smiled at Jiang Hai and opened the two buckets beside him. However, as soon as he opened them, Jiang Hai felt a desire to Feeling like vomiting...
Because the two buckets were densely packed with bugs. The bugs in one of the buckets were of all kinds. Some were like centipedes, but their bodies were soft, and some were mostly like earthworms. , but it was much bigger than earthworms. Jiang Hai was disgusted by the sight, and the other bucket was also full of bugs, but they were all tied together.
The sight made Jiang Hai's scalp feel numb, and he unconsciously took two steps back.
"Don't be afraid, these don't bite." Seeing Jiang Hai retreat, Harriman couldn't help laughing. As the big man spoke, he put his hand into one of the buckets and grabbed a legged insect. , then took out a syringe from the backpack behind him and pumped air into the insect's body. In an instant, the insect inflated like a balloon.
"It's okay. These bugs are harmless to us. This bucket is full of lugworms. Harriman and I caught them in the morning. These are shipworms. Edward specially raised them for fishing. It’s for use. I heard we were coming over today, so I gave some to us.” At this time, Philemon walked over and said with a smile on his face.
In fact, both lugworms and shipworms are good things for fishing, especially lugworms, which are called universal baits for sea fishing.
In southern China and Southeast Asia, these two kinds of insects are actually edible, but Jiang Hai can't resist them.
In the past, Jiang Hai could only catch earthworms. This kind of thing was not easy to overcome in his heart.
"Let's do this. I'll help you put it on while you fish." At this time, Harriman seemed to realize that Jiang Hai's hurdle was not that easy to overcome, so he handed the threaded fishing line to Jiang Hai with a smile. In his hand, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly when he saw that Harriman had already done it for him. He did not refuse, but sat directly on the bench he brought over and fished in the ice cave.
But the position where he sat was the furthest away from the two barrels of bugs.
While waiting to fish, I watched the two buckets over there carefully, for fear that they would tip over and insects would come over.
Obviously, he was overthinking this. It was like being afraid of heights. When standing in a high place, he always felt like he would fall.
Jiang Hai is afraid of bugs, so sitting here, he always feels that those bugs will crawl on him. It's the same.
"Boss, put your license on your chest or arm. This is close to the town. If the police come over soon and see us fishing, they will easily scare the fish away if they come to check again." Just as Jiang Hai was frightened. When they were about to lose their consciousness, Harriman and Philemon here had already put on their own baits and put them into the water. However, after putting them in the water, Philemon also specifically said to Jiang Hai, "Listen." When he heard what he said, Jiang Hai immediately took out a card from his jacket pocket.
In the United States, fishing is a little different from that in China. In the United States, you need to apply for a license to fish, otherwise it is illegal and you will be jailed. Every year in the United States, there is a so-called moratorium on freshwater fish. , during this time, activities such as fishing are not allowed. Of course, as long as you fish quietly for a few days without being discovered by others, no one will care about you.
In particular, Jiang Hai focuses on Asian carp, a fish that can be caught year-round.
But now, they are not here to catch Asian carp, but more valuable fish.
It may be because the weather is too cold. Fish underwater not only move slower, but also need to eat much less. This is why most cold-water fish are smaller than tropical fish.
Because the other fish eats it all year round, while the cold water fish eats it for eight months and is hungry for four months, so it is strange that it will grow big.
After about half an hour, perhaps the lure of the lugworm was indeed so strong that these lazy fish finally couldn't bear it any longer. Jiang Hai felt his hand sink in an instant.
Then his powerful strength was clearly revealed at this moment, and in a few moments, he pulled the fish out of the water.
He threw the fish on the ice next to him. After the fish landed in the ice city, it was still struggling and wanted to jump back into the water. However, Jiang Hai, who had been prepared long ago, held his head and gave it to him. Lifted it up.
"Oh, a good start, it turned out to be a brown trout." Seeing the fish that Jiang Hai pulled out of the water, Fei Libo couldn't help but laugh.
"It's indeed a good thing!" Looking at the almost forty centimeter-long fish in front of him, Jiang Hai was so happy that he almost shut up.
Speaking of brown trout, people who are not very familiar with fish may not know it very well, but when it comes to brown trout’s brother, rainbow trout, probably many people know about it. These two fish are both in the trout family. Yes, as long as it is from the trout family, the price is not generally high.
Under the same weight, it is not a problem to be dozens of times that of carp. After taking off the hook, Jiang Hai smiled and threw the fish into the insulated water tank that had been prepared. This time it was a real good start. ah.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai felt that those lugworms and shipworms were not so scary anymore. This time he took the initiative and picked out a lugworm that didn't look so ugly. He sat back in his seat and pumped the hook. , thrown into the water.
The animal finished in one go. Seeing Jiang Hai's happy look, Philemon and Harriman couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, they focused more on feeling the vibration in their hands. After a while, Harriman also caught the fish.
He caught a North American pike. This guy, which originally dominated the freshwater river basins of North America, has been suppressed by Asian carp and has almost no room for survival. However, it is undeniable that this kind of fish-eating fish The taste is very good.
This North American pike is about the same length as the brown trout in Jiang Hai, and is over forty centimeters, which makes Harriman very happy.
At this time, Philemon also served fish. It must be said that the ginger is still spicy. The price of the fish Philemon served may not be as good as Jiang Hai’s brown trout and Harriman’s pike. , but the weight and length are definitely the highest.
What he caught was a large perch. Jiang Hai knew at a glance that the weight of this fish would definitely not be less than ten kilograms.
