Chapter 88

Translated by: Noobtrans

During winter in North America, the crime rate is the highest because it’s cold and slippery . If you commit something in the suburbs during any other season, the police will come in three minutes, but in this season, let alone three minutes, The police may not arrive in over thirteen minutes .

For this reason, this is also the favorite season of the mobsters, but the US is still much better than its little brother Canada beside him, because the US has more people here to recruit as workers, so there are only some small roads that weren’t cleared, but the main roads were cleared quickly . On the other hand, in Canada, there are 35 million people in the country, accounting for the second largest land area in the world so the wages of cleaners in Canada is the highest .

But even if this is the case, the cleaners recruited are still too few, so the main roads in Canada are good but outside the city there is still tons of snow .

So although Philemon and Jiang Hai are not afraid, there is no need to invite danger, so when they came out to play, safety is their priority, so they chose this river nearby, after all, it is close to Winthrop .

What? The river is too close to people, there is no fish in the river? In fact, this doesn’t need to be considered at all . Where is this? America!

They basically do not eat river fish, so as long as there are rivers, there will be no shortage of fish .

Jiang Hai and the others parked the car near the river and got out . Herman was very happy . Obviously he hadn’t come here for a while ever since he found a stable job so he was very happy .

They took out the sledgehammer and iron shovel from the car and went to the river to break the ice first .

Breaking the ice is a very technical job . You don’t just smash a hole in the ice then go fishing . If the hole is not good, you can easily destabilize the whole ice you’re on . If you fall down, you will be in trouble .

Therefore, ice breaking is actually a technical task, and it is unlikely that you will do it right on your first time .

It is necessary to smash the four sides with a sledgehammer, dig through it and cut it apart using a shovel(1), and then use iron claws to pull this piece of ice out of the ice hole . Jiang Hai is very familiar with this . As an ordinary citizen in Ice City, when he passes by the riverside of Bingcheng every winter, he can often see a lot of people collecting ice in some places .

Where do you think the ice lamps and ice sculptures come from in Ice City?

But knowing how to do it is different from having experience doing it, but fortunately, Philemon and Herman are veterans .

Not long after, a hole has already been created, a hole with a diameter of one and a half meters although it is shaped irregularly, this is enough for Jiang Hai .

After digging the ice hole, Philemon made a fire next to them, which was keeping them warm . Making a fire on top of the ice will not melt the ice and having a fire near them is convenient since they would probably sit or squat on top of the ice for a long time . Herman on the other hand, readied the hooks and bait .

In fact, ice fishing is very easy for North Americans, because it is only necessary to break the ice and then get some bait to attract the fishes, just like now, Jiang Hai could clearly see the shadows of the fishes swimming under the ice, unfortunately Americans do not eat Asian carp, so they will not target these fish . They will only catch Native American fishes but these kinds of fish take time to catch .

“These are bait . ” Seeing Jiang Hai look over, Herman smiled at Jiang Hai, hitting two buckets beside him, but as soon as he opened it, Jiang Hai felt like vomiting .

Because in these two buckets, all of them are full of bugs . In one of the buckets, there are various kinds of bugs, some of which are like centipedes with soft bodies, and some of them are like earthworms, but much bigger than earthworms . Jiang Hai looked at it in disgust . while the other bucket was full of bugs, but it’s all white and bundled together .

At a glance, Jiang Hai’s scalp felt a little numb, and he stepped back two steps unconsciously .

“Don’t be afraid, these don’t bite people . ” Seeing Jiang Hai back away, Herman couldn’t help but laugh . When the big man spoke, he put his hands into one of the buckets and grabbed a legged worm . Then, he took out a needle from the backpack behind him and strung the worm . In an instant, the bug bulged like a balloon .

“It’s okay, these bugs are not harmful to us . The bucket is full of sandworms . It was caught by Herman and me in the morning . These are worms, specially raised by Edward and used as bait . He heard that we are going out to fish, and gave us some . ” At this time, Philemon next to him also came over and said with a smile .

In fact, whether it is a sandworm or an earthworm, it is a good bait for fishing, especially the sandworm, called as universal bait for sea fishing .

In the south of China and Southeast Asia, these two kinds of insects can be eaten, but Jiang Hai can’t stand it .

Jiang Hai is used to catching earthworms . But this thing, the effect on his heart was not very good .

“Well, I’ll help you hook it, you fish . ” At this time, Herman seemed to see that it won’t be easy for Jiang Hai to prepare the bait, so he smiled and handed the worn fishing line to Jiang Hai’s . Seeing Herman help him, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, but did not refuse . Instead, he took a chair and placed it near the ice hole farthest from the buckets of bait .

While waiting for the fish to take the bait, he carefully looked at the two buckets, fearing that it would overturn and the worms would run over .

Obviously, he’s overthinking it . This is like a fear of heights . Standing on a high place, he always feels that he will fall .

Jiang Hai is afraid of bugs, so when sitting here, he always feels that the bugs will crawl on him .

“Boss, put your license on your chest or arm . It’s close to the town so If a policeman comes over and sees us fishing, they might come to check and scare the fish away . ” Just as Jiang Hai was busy being scared like his soul detached from him, Herman and Philemon had put on their bait and put it in the water . Afterwards, Philemon also warned him so Jiang Hai immediately took out a card in his shirt pocket .

There is a difference from fishing in China . In the US, fishing requires a license, otherwise it is illegal, and you’ll be taken to jail . Every year, the US has a so-called freshwater fishing holiday At this time, activities such as fishing are not allowed . Of course, as long as you don’t let someone else find you secretly fishing for a few days, no one will control you .

Usually, Jiang Hai’s main target is Asian carps, which can be fished all year round .

But now, they are not here to catch Asian carp, but to catch more valuable fish .

It may be because the weather is too cold . Underwater fish not only move slowly, but also eat a lot less . This is why most cold water fish are smaller than tropical fish because the other party is eating all year round, and the cold water fish only eats for eight months and is hungry for four months .

After about half an hour, maybe the lure of the sandworms is indeed very powerful and even these lazy moving fishes can’t bear it, Jiang Hai instantly felt his hand sink .

Then his powerful strength was revealed in this time, and in a few moments, he pulled the fish out of the water .

He threw the fish on the ice near the hole . After falling into the ice, the fish was still struggling, hoping to jump back into the water, but Jiang Hai, who had been prepared for a long time, he held its head and lifted it up .

“Oh, it’s a good start . It turned out to be a brown trout . ” Philemon said as he saw jiang Hai pull the fish out of the water and couldn’t help but laugh .

“It is indeed a good thing!” Jiang Hail said after seeing the 40cm long fish .

Speaking of brown trout, people may not be familiar with it, unlike the brother of brown trout, rainbow trout, both of which are from the trout family . and as long as it is of the trout family, it’s naturally expensive .

The price is comparable to dozens of carps . After removing the hook, Jiang Hai smiled and threw the fish into the thermal insulation tank that was prepared earlier . It’s time to get serious .

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai felt that the sandworms and other bait were not so terrible . This time he took the initiative to pick a sandworm that didn’t look so ugly, and sat down in his place again . After hooking the worm, he tossed his hook along with the animal in one go . Seeing Jiang Hai’s serious look, Philemon and Herman couldn’t help but laugh, and at the same time, they concentrated their attention and felt the vibration in their hands . Not long after, Herman also got fish .

He caught a Northern pike . This kind of guy who had been the king in the North American freshwater basin was already suppressed by Asian carp . There is almost no room for survival, but it is undeniable that this carnivorous fish’s taste is very good .

This Northern pike is about the same length as Jiang Hai’s brown trout, and it is more than forty centimeters, which makes Herman very happy .

At this time, Philemon also got a fish . I have to say that old ginger really is spicier . Philemon’s fish may not be as expensive as Jiang Hai’s brown trout, and Herman’s Northern pike, but in terms of weight and length, his is better .

He caught a large perch . Jiang Hai knew at a glance that the weight of this fish would never be less than ten pounds .
