Fish That I Can Upgrade
Chapter 4 Trying to Fishing
Regas still had not thought of his next plan.
In the meantime, he could not travel far. Fishing tools provided by the Water Illustration Book are only hand and fishing gear. This means that Regas can catch fish by hand or lure it. However, for the time being, Regas could not rent a boat to go catch fish.
Perhaps, he could buy a fishing rod to fish.
As an office worker, Regas often looks for water animals on the beach or out on a boat while on vacation. But he has never been fishing.
The main reason is that this entertainment can make it addictive once tried. Regas was a little worried about losing control of himself after trying it, so he never tried it.
After resigning, fishermen are expected to become his main livelihood.
However, lack of experience is also a problem. Regas read a lot of knowledge about fishing at night. He decided to fish for freshwater fish first.
The main reason is that the cost of fishing for sea fish is more expensive, he is also still a beginner so can not handle it. So, Regas is better off practicing with freshwater fish first.
The next day, Regas did not have to work. He woke up by himself at about nine past ten minutes.
He usually wakes up at half-nine on weekdays. He was used to getting up early.
Regas does not laze in bed. After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, she remembered there was no food at home.
“Aduh, it looks like I have to catch some water animals on the beach for food stock.”
Earnings from freelancers are not fixed, even more difficult at the beginning. Regas decided to save as much as possible in the beginning.
When income began to stabilize in the future, he certainly did not need to be too calculated anymore.
Out the back door, he went for breakfast.
The location of his house is relative to in and away from the sea crossing bridge. Neighbors around his house were a middle-aged couple, so there was no place for breakfast.
For breakfast, Regas had to drive ten minutes to get near the bridge.
The beach near the island is surrounded by villas and hotels, and of course there are plenty of restaurants for breakfast.
A serving of glutinous rice and a bottle of fresh milk costs seventeen thousand rupiahs. He really has to be frugal.
After eating, Regas went to buy fishing gear at the fishing shop.
There is a fishing spot on the island and there is a reservoir on the top of the mountain that nobody owns. So, Regas decided to fish there.
Today, he would catch a goldfish, then buy a bottle of beer to cook an alcoholic goldfish.
For goldfish fishing, the suitability of the fishing line is different with each season.
For example, when the season where the temperature is still high, the common fishing line used is the size of 0.6 for the spare rope and the size of 1.0 for the main rope. Then, the hook eye used is number 3 or 4.
When the temperature drops, we can use 0.4 spare rope and 0.8 main rope with hook eye number 2 or 3.
Fish in reservoirs are generally released by people, but no one rents them for breeding. The main reason is that people here do not like to eat freshwater fish, so the fish in it are all wild.
Regas was not sure either. So, he bought a total of four fishing line boxes. One spare rope box 0.8, one spare rope box 1.0, one main rope box 1.0, and one main rope box 1.2.
One box of eight rollers, one rollers about 4.5 meters.
He also bought size 3 to 4 hooks.
On the seller's recommendation, Regas bought some bait, two bottles of rice wine and a bag of corn to make a nest.
Regas spent over two hundred thousand to buy all of it. Regas was surprised because the cost of fishing is quite expensive. Fishing in the sea is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After that, he went to the market to buy side dishes and rice, then went home to cook.
In this day and age, men do not dare to date if they cannot cook.
During the day, Regas cooked two simple meals, then left after eating.
The distance of the reservoir at the top of the mountain is not too far from the Regas house. It only takes 20 minutes to drive.
When Regas arrived, he saw some people were fishing in the reservoir, but not many.
Also true. People living in the islands rarely fish for freshwater fish. While on his way home after buying a fishing rod this morning, Regas also saw many people standing on the rocks to fish for sea fish. Fishing for more ferocious sea fish is certainly more fun than fishing for freshwater fish.
Moreover, there are many breeding ponds near the sea. Some abandoned breeding ponds contain many live bass and belanak fish. Those who understood would definitely fish in that place.
Regas didn't go fishing because he knew his fishing gear wasn't good enough.
The fishing gear is only enough to lure small fish. If you meet a one-kilogram bass, let alone the rope is broken, the possibility of a broken fishing pole is also very high.
After parking the car, Regas picked up the equipment and looked for a place that no one was around, faintly visible some water plants on the surface of the water which was where the fish hid.
The reservoir was not small and there were very few people, so Regas could find a good location easily.
If we want to get fish, we have to exchange it for food.
The rice wine and corn that Regas bought was very useful, he took a handful of rice wine and splashed it to the surface of the water about 4 meters away.
The fishing line is only about 4.5 meters. This distance is enough.
It basically took half an hour for the food nest to be effective, but Regas did not want to wait.
He started to put on the fishing line and hook. Then prepare the bucket and folding stool that he brought from home.
He squeezed his bait and rolled it into a circle the size of a bean. After splitting it, Regas hung the bait on the hook.
Fishing tools like this do not need to be thrown. We just simply lift the tool, then release the fishing line. The weight of the rope will naturally carry the hook to where it should be on the surface of the water. After that, we just have to wait for the right time to put the hook into the water.
