Firewood kiln and weather

My father-in-law often ate soft-shelled turtles when he was a child. My father-in-law is not a professional fisherman, but he transports firewood and bamboo by water. At that time, there were many soft-shelled turtles in the Yangtze River valley. They live on a boat every day and only transport it to the city four or five times a month. About two days later, he went to this city. Therefore, he spends most of his time in rivers, lakes and seas, taking net fishing and fishing as a sideline. Years of practical experience enabled him to catch soft-shelled turtles skillfully. When I got married, my father-in-law had retired from the water transport company. In addition to doing some field work all year round, he also devotes himself to the fish in that river.

Every time I go to his house to help with the double robbery, I can see a bucket full of turtles kept there, completely unable to eat, still catching. Sometimes I go fishing in the deep pool forty or fifty meters below and don't come back until late at night. My mother-in-law is always worried, so she asked me to go with her. After fishing, she always told me about this technique, and I almost went in one ear and out the other.

After my two children were born, my wife always clamored for soft-shelled turtle, because it was always difficult to fish in the river by herself only by watching my father-in-law's superficial kung fu, so I went back to learn from him. After so many years, my father-in-law is over 80 years old, and it is rare to slowly explore the turtle below with a bamboo spear on the beach. Occasionally, when she wants to eat, she will stick a few needles at the edge of the deep pool to grab a drink. After living in my father-in-law's house for more than a week, I learned a lot about the living habits of turtles this time.

At 1, soft-shelled turtles usually dive deep into the sand side of the deep beach, so that they can drill into the sand and catch soft-shelled turtles.

2. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we will look for heterosexual gathering and mating where there are trees on the river bank or where the sediment is deep. At this time, we will make a mating hole and all will gather there. After mating, we will lay eggs on sunny deep beaches and then cover them. The tortoise won't care about it, and sunlight and ground temperature will naturally hatch out.

In winter, the turtle will find a deep and sunny pool and spend the winter with deep sand and mud.

In order to catch soft-shelled turtle I, we should first understand its living habits and eating habits, and use tools to assist in the capture.

Turtles usually eat fish, shrimp, screws, earthworms, loach or human viscera discarded by chickens and ducks in the river pond.

However, after many observations by human beings, the favorite food is stinky animal liver, which is almost swallowed in one gulp. Among them, the most smelly is pig liver. Almost 100 square meters of soft-shelled turtles will come to grab food in still water, and even in places 50 meters away from the flowing water, soft-shelled turtles can eat it.

Usage of toad medicine: (choose one of the following two methods)

1, honey 200g, white wine 130g (containing 5g of borneol) and soak in toad for one hour (borneol is bought in Chinese medicine shop).

2. Chop 100g spicy radish (preferably fresh), decoct, concentrate into 1: 1, then add twice the amount of alcohol to remove the spicy taste, and then add 15g fennel (preferably natural fennel) and 15g Ferula. Note: Laro herb can find it himself. About half a meter high, many branches, swollen nodes, red or turquoise stems, alternate leaves, needle-shaped, 5-7 cm long. There are humanoid black mosquitoes on both sides of midvein, which are spicy and like to grow in wetlands, ditches, rivers and roadsides. across the country

There is a distribution. Ferula is a very smelly Chinese medicine. If you can't buy it, you can use 3 grams of musk instead.

This method can be used in the turtle predation season. The effect may not be ideal at first, but the experience will be enriched after several attempts. If the tortoise escapes when it is in use, you have to go back to its original place every few days to catch it. People can't make any noise when they are hiding and waiting. Fishing tools, such as inverted whisker cages and nets, can also be used instead of hooking, but inverted whisker cages can only catch turtles of the same size, so it is better to hook them. This method is not suitable for use in turbulent flow.

103 wonderful method to kill soft-shelled turtle If you catch soft-shelled turtle in seashore, reservoir and river bend, use 4 liang of chicken blood and 4 liang of sheep's blood (preferably extracted from sheep's ears by syringe) in slow-moving places, pour the blood into water to flow, and the water will sink into the net, then soak the cornflakes, chicken intestines and duck intestines in edible alcohol 1 hour and fix them on the net. When a large number of turtles arrive, the net is pulled once every half hour or one hour. Note: Be sure to hide before lifting the net, and don't make any noise.

104 medicine lures soft-shelled turtles in ponds (lakes, rivers, pits and reservoirs). Taking advantage of the gluttony of soft-shelled turtles, we can catch soft-shelled turtles by using ordinary hand-sewn needles (preferably coarse cotton needles and country flower needles) as hooks, connecting the needles and feeding them with bait.

The preparation ratio and method of pig liver and medicine are as follows: 500 grams of raw pig liver (cut into several small pieces with a knife, each weighing about 5-6 grams in a rectangle); Mix 3g of musk, 8g of borneol and 8g of fennel (powder) with100g of sesame oil or cauliflower oil. The prepared bait should be stored in a glass bottle in the shade to ensure that it will not deteriorate or fail within 3-5 days. If possible, the prepared bait can be kept in the refrigerator for a longer time. If the bait is dried in the sun or thrown at will, it will cause rapid decay, dryness and failure, and the harvest is not great when fishing soft-shelled turtle. If there is no storage equipment, it is best not to mix a variety of ingredients at a time, and only mix the spare bait for 2-3 days at a time.

Musk is a mixture that turtles like to eat. As long as musk is real, the formula is reasonable and the humidity is appropriate, it will play a certain role in fishing. What should be used instead of musk mixed with pig liver? According to practice, Ferula, Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae, Gan Song and essence can be used to mix pig lungs, and the formula is as follows:

1. 200g of raw pig liver (cut into small strips, each weighing about 5-6g, dried in the shade), 20g of essence, 0/5g of fennel/kloc (artificial fennel and natural fennel are better than natural fennel and ground into powder), and 0/5g of Ferula/kloc (dissolved in 20g of clear water, available in Chinese medicine shops). Mix 20 grams of the above medicinal sesame oil (sesame oil) evenly, and then put the pig liver together and mix well.

2. 5000g of fresh pork liver (cut into small pieces), 10g of dried pork liver10g, 0g of Gan Song10g, 5g of essence. First, Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae, Gan Song and essence are ground into powder, mixed with 20g of sesame oil, and then pig liver is mixed together.

3. In the absence of the above drugs and incomplete drugs, you can also use bean worm bait to catch turtles. The method is: remove the head of the caught bean worm, turn the skin inward and the stomach outward, put it on the needle hook to hook the turtle, and tie a toad with skin on the needle hook to catch the turtle.

105 fish hooks for turtle fishing can generally be made of 22-24 steel wires with round or angular barbs. The teeth of the fishhook are slightly outward. Leave a round hole with a diameter of about 1- 1.5 mm in the middle of the hook head to pass through a 2-meter-long fishline as a fishing line, then use a 3-mm-thick and 20-meter-long fishline as a pole line, each pole line is 2-5 mm, and then find ten wooden poles with a length of 4 meters and a diameter of about 5 cm as stakes. When launching, insert a wooden pole 20 meters away from the main line and ten wooden poles in the water, which can be inserted crisscross. You can also insert the wooden pole into the water in a straight line, a horizontal line or an "S" shape.

Insert the stake into the water and stick it firmly so as not to be blown down by the wind. Finally, tie the main line of the bait connected to the branch line to the stake. After the insertion is completed, you can check one by one in the water every 50-60 minutes. The time to catch turtles with hooks: July-August in the solar calendar is appropriate, especially when the weather is sultry and the rain clears.
