Fishing in the South China Sea in Laiyang
Text / Sun Rui
In some ditches, swamps and seas in Laiyang Dingzi Bay, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, many carrot-like fish with yellow skin, slippery bodies, large and flattened heads, and ugly appearance began to migrate into shallow water to feed. This fish, the locals call it light fish.
Strike when it's time to strike. One day in the late autumn of the previous year, the autumn was high and crisp, and there was no cloud. Some anglers came from all directions with fishing rods, baits, and tools. I met a young man and went to T-Shaped Bay to experience the joy of fishing.
Unexpectedly, the first battle was won, a big victory, and a whole basin was suddenly made, about twenty pounds.
Fishing for light fish is simpler than any kind of fish, there is no need to feed the nest, hang any bait, even if you are a novice, you will have unexpected gains.
Light fish eat a wide range of food, miscellaneous, like to eat those meat, earthworms, silkworms, shrimp are its delicious food, and even to corn kernels, peanuts, fritters, steamed buns and so on are the best bait.
Light fish, there are many names, the scientific name of the sheep ray, spear-tailed goby, also called sea catfish, catfish light fish, silly catfish, silly fish, silly fish, stupid fish.
It is a bottom fish that grows in water 40-60 meters in the sea. The skin is grey or grey-backed and yellowish, the body is shaped like a carrot, the head is large and flattened, slightly resembling a freshwater catfish, and the mouth is large but not beardless. And the tail is very thin. Generally, natural fish are 15-20 cm old at one age, and can reach 30 cm above one age.
"Bean yellow light fish wheat yellow turtle; cold water clam hot water clam..." When it comes to the bean cutting season, the light fish grows rapidly and can grow into about a foot. Don't look at its appearance, but the meat is tender and delicious, and it is known as "sea cucumber in fish".
Especially in late autumn, the meat is tender, the soup is white, and the skin is sticky. Therefore, some restaurants, guesthouses, and hotels have also begun to play the "idea" of light fish, and have launched delicious dishes such as braised light fish, stewed light fish, and tofu stewed light fish to attract and attract diners.
Light fish, rich in nutrition, delicate meat, the price is close to the people, the market price is generally fifteen yuan and two catties. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", light fish is rich in copper, which is an indispensable micronutrient for human health, which has an important impact on the development and function of blood, central nervous system and immune system, hair, skin and bone tissue, as well as internal organs such as brain and liver and heart. Light fish is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to blood circulation. Light fish is eaten with tofu, which has the effect of tonifying the stomach, reducing swelling and water; It has a special effect on myocardium and children's bone growth, and can be used as a therapeutic dish for patients with coronary heart disease, pediatric dysplasia, edema, tuberculosis, postpartum milk deficiency and so on.
In the past, there was no prolactinator in the countryside, and women who had just given birth lacked milk, generally used light fish soup to prolactin, and taking two or three pills could be effective.
In the spring, everything recovers, and the light fish eggs begin to hatch; in the summer, the light fish grows rapidly, growing into about ten centimeters in three months; in the autumn, the light fish is the largest thirty centimeters and the smallest twenty centimeters.
Light fish in the Jiaodong area, due to the cold winter, generally can not overwinter, one year, one year dead. Before death, the mother light fish lays the eggs in the ditch and hatches in the spring of the following year.
I remember when I was a child in my hometown, some elderly people said: "The old dragon king of the South China Sea deliberately does not let the light fish grow up, because it is very fast, half a year is one foot long, ten years is long, and a hundred years to catch up with the old dragon king..."
Every fifteenth, the first day of the astronomical tide, light fish with the tide, like sand bottom and mud bottom, stone canopy bottom less stay, do not need to find a special fishing point, breeding rack, shallow beach paint are there, in addition to shrimp ponds are.
That day, we started at half past nine and hung bait on the hooks, and we used corn kernels. After throwing out, put the fishing rod on the bracket, and the person sits on the stool, leisurely smoking a cigarette, looking at the mobile phone, or fighting the landlord, playing vibrato, waiting for the fish to be hooked.
Light fish is very good at fishing, the technical requirements for anglers are not high, the shaking is not violent when hooked, the big one is heavy but the stimulation is small, so it is often called "dead fish" by anglers.
Light fish is the most stupid, gluttonous, sharp teeth, see food up is a bite, swallow into the mouth and then reluctant to spit out, two lips tightly closed, two cheeks bulging, so it is very easy to catch.
In about two or three hours, the light fish had filled one of the leather buckets he had brought.
In this city away from the hustle and bustle, come to the quiet beach given by nature, catch the catch, harvest the mood and enjoy the fun.
Fishing is fun. When you get a fish, you have fun; when you have empty hands, you have fun; when you see that landscape, everything disappears into the vast smoke...
