I scooped a small shrimp out of the bucket and inserted the hook point from the shrimp's tail toward its head.
There are many ways to hook live shrimp for fishing, including tail hooking, back hooking, and head hooking. The head hooking method is further divided into three types depending on the position of the hook: hooking the shrimp's rostrum, hooking the shrimp's gills, and hooking the shrimp's mouth.
Feng Ye used the back-hanging method, which is the only hanging method he knows. Other methods either make it easy for the shrimp to escape or make it easy to hook the shrimp to death.
With this hooking method, fish with smaller mouths are more likely to bite and eat the shrimp along with the hook.
Of course, shrimp caught in this method are more likely to die, but they won't die immediately; they can survive in the water for a few more minutes.
Looking at the sea, I couldn't see anything. I'd only know if there were fish or not after trying.
Feng Ye casually cast the fishhook with the shrimp on it, and the hook slowly sank.
Next, all that's left is to wait patiently.
After waiting for five or six minutes without feeling any movement in his hand, he pulled up the fishing hook and found that the shrimp was gone.
I don't know if it ran away because it wasn't properly attached, or if it got eaten by a fish.
Feng Ye caught another shrimp, hooked it onto the fishing hook using the same method, and threw it back into the sea.
After casting the hook into the sea, he kept a close eye on the handmade fishing float. In just two or three minutes, he saw the float suddenly sink.
It's biting!
He was overjoyed and quickly jerked the fishing rod upwards, pulling a pale red fish out of the water.
"Red sea bream, not bad, it's just a pity it's a bit small, only about a pound."
I found an empty bucket, filled it with seawater, and then unhooked the red sea bream from the hook and threw it into the bucket.
Catching a fish boosted his confidence and made fishing more enjoyable.
