Chapter 135 Enjoying Fish

Fishing rods are made of highly water-resistant wood coated with resin, and corrosion-resistant alloys are used to make the rings. As for the reel, it is simply a reel on which the fishing line is wound, which is also made of metal and will not rust.

The fishing line is not made of nylon, but is made directly from materials produced by monsters. Specifically, the line collected from the spider's nest is simply fixed and slightly strengthened, but since the raw material is high-strength line, even if it is thick, it has strength that is no less than nylon. At the same time, it has sufficient softness.

The fake fish hooks disguised as bait look like real ones, even with eyeballs painted on them. These fish hooks are made of lightweight Mithril.

Ye Kai took this out because he was starting to feel hungry. He had already eaten all the large fish he bought in the south. Since then, he had no chance to buy sea fish or anything like that, so he hadn't eaten fish for quite a long time.

As a person who was born and raised in another world, Ye Kai felt that his limit was about to be reached. For him, the desire to eat fish has always been burning deep in his heart.

Ye Kai took off his leather boots, rolled up his trousers to his thighs, and stepped into the water. When he reached a stable position, he began to release the fishing line.

Since this fishing tackle is very simple in structure, it cannot be cast like a normal bait. The method of casting is slightly different.

After releasing about 60 meters of fishing line from the spool, hang the hook about 10 cm from the rod and fix the line with the index finger of your right hand. When you swing the fishing rod, release your finger and the bait will fly out.

Then, use your left hand to reel in the line, pull the bait, and wait for the fish to bite. Fishing is about patiently repeating this process to lure the fish to bite, but the fish in this world have no interest in the bait, so the situation of being caught is very interesting.

Ye Kai felt the feel from the first cast, then lifted the rod and hooked the hook firmly in the fish's mouth. Temporarily satisfied with the fish's reaction, he began to pull the line and captured the prey. What was caught was a trout about 30 cm long. Lightly sprinkled with salt and simply grilled, it satisfied Ye Kai's taste buds.

Ye Kai imagined that his saliva was already welling up, and at this moment, accompanied by the sound of water, the Senel birds gathered around.

"Would you like to eat? Wait a minute."

He cast in the bait, caught a fish every few times, and put it into the birds' mouths, which ate happily, making gnawing sounds.

(Speaking of which, there are also many birds that mainly feed on fish) Ye Kai suddenly thought. Judging from the shape of their beaks, it is obvious that they are not specialized in catching fish, but judging from their reactions, fish is obviously a suitable food for them.

He had to work a little harder to satisfy them and secure his share. Only Reed quietly took a bite on Purple's back, looking content.

As they were having fun, others gathered around them and everyone crossed the river in their own way.

"What's that?" Cham is often the first person to be interested in such things and interrupt.

“It’s nothing to say, but it looks like fishing.”

“I can understand that to that extent. What I’m asking is why I was able to catch fish.”

It seems that they also caught something. Ye Kai grinned and began to explain: "This is the method of using a fake bait to lure the fish and then catch it. It is called bait fishing."

“Bait?”

To Chaim, it was just a curved streamlined metal plate. Although there were eyes painted on it, the surface shone with an ordinary metallic luster. In the middle and tail, there were three specially shaped hooks to prevent the fish from getting out of their mouths.

"Use this, pull it like this..."

Immerse the bait on the rod in water and swing it left and right. The bait will sway back and forth due to the water resistance.

“It makes it look like a weak little fish. So the medium-sized or larger predatory fish will think, ‘Here’s a good, easy prey!’ and will bite. That way, you can catch the fish.”

"Oh, that's very thoughtful of you."

“In my hometown, there are also many ways to fish without using this kind of bait. But this method does not require the use of large equipment and is simple and easy to do, so it is very convenient.”

“I see. Can I do that, too?”

“Of course. Sometimes you may need some tricks if you can’t catch any fish, but here, it’s very likely that you can catch one easily.”

“Great! Teach me.”

Tullio and Fino seemed to be attracted as well.

The temporary obstacle may be the casting. Chaim also has some difficulties in this area. He either lets go too late, causing the bait to fall directly in front of the water, or lets go too early, and the bait flies almost vertically and lands slightly over the head.

After several attempts, Cham finally succeeded in drawing a beautiful parabola and flew to a distance of about thirty meters.

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Okay! I’ve almost got it.”

“Then, before the bait sinks, give it a quick tug. Like this.”

Ye Kai held the rod from behind and demonstrated how to reel it in. Chamu quickly imitated him, tightening the bait.

"With a few more practice you'll be able to throw it smoothly. Ideally, it will be towards..."

“!!”

Just then the rod suddenly bent and she felt a heavy pull.

“Pull the rod!!”

"good!"

As he pulled the rod, the fish took the bait, and the twisting feeling was transmitted to the tip of the rod through the line, stirring the feeling in Chaim's hands.

"!?"

At this moment, a chill ran up her spine, and she felt a stinging sensation that made her pores almost open.

(This is!!)

Cham shivered at the unique feeling.

“Be careful and try to take it back.”

She just nodded and continued to work, carefully reeling in the line, silver scales gleaming underwater.

"Let me help you pull it over."

"please."

When she successfully pulled the fish up, Cham excitedly held it high up and showed it to everyone.

“Congratulations on your first catch!”

"Congratulations!"

Everyone applauded and congratulated her, and she puffed out her chest with pride. Ye Kai thought this side of her was cute, but it was not easy to show.

Thanks to Cham's fishing, the other two also suddenly became interested.

“Here’s the spare rod. I think you’ve learned it, so let’s work together.”

“Okay! Thank you! I’ll borrow it.”

Tulio and Fino began to grope a little further away.
