Now what do you think is happening in this picture below?
An Egyptian goose racing a boat, but this is not an ordinary boat. It is a model bait boat controlled by a fisherman.
Good day to all and I have no idea in which community to place this post.
Is there such a thing as a fishing community on Hive? If so, please let me know so that I can put the post in there.
Maybe @acidyo or one of the @OCD Mods will know
In any case I was out at this dam with my camera to get some birds and by luck I met this fisherman.
Come and see what he does.
See the yellow arrow? That's the spot where the fisherman wanted to drop his baited hook.
So he loaded his bait on this little boat and sent it out to drop his line in the exact spot.
That round maize ball below the arrow is his line and the other two balls accompany the bait as feed to attract the fish to his baited hook.
He stopped the boat at the spot and tilted the two buckets to drop the bait into the water.
Done and he returned the boat.
It was upon the return of the boat that the goose decided to race the boat.
Job done and he secured the boat.
But will this fishing attempt work? Come and see below!
We were standing chatting when the alarm on his rod sounded and he struck.
He played the fish for awhile and then guided it into the net.
He removed the hook gently and then untangled the line from the net.
A beautiful big Carp fish!
He took a photo of the fish, as below you can seen his phone mounted on a rod.
Then he weighed the fish and also dabbed some sealing medicine on the place where the hook was in the mouth of the fish.
Finally it was time to put the fish back into the water so that he can have his freedom.
And there you have it. I tried to show you a detailed system of successful fishing and I hope that you enjoyed the pictures.
In my days as a fisherman, I didn't have money for a bait boat, but I used my cheap canoe to take my lines in at long distances. Marian would hold the rod on the bank and I would twist the line around my big toe in the canoe in order to free my hands for rowing. Also very effective but it could get tiresome if there were many fish as in one morning I caught more than 20.
Since I started photography, I do not fish anymore. But it is great to have my fishing memories brought back when I see a fisherman in action. We can discuss the line strengths, whether he uses nylon or braid, and the different settings on his alarms. Also many other details and it is fun to watch. Then I departed and carried on with my photography.
Oh! I forget as this little Kingfisher bird came in to sit on one of his fishing rods.
And That's All Friends.

wow, what technologies do you have there, we have enough worm hooks and fishing rods in Russia))
We don't use worms and we don't bait the actual hook. We rather build a maize ball around the hook and the ball slowly disintegrates in the water. Caps slurp their food and if a carp slurps the maize ball he takes the hook in at the same time.
You deserve to be called "Kingfisher". The technique you use is very unusual for an angler.
I think you use toys for fishing. It was brilliant. You even managed to get a big fish. You played and succeeded, sir. You are a pro at fishing technique.
Thank you and the technique was developed by our champion fishermen.
Yes, the bait boat is a toy, built for a special purpose to decant bait into the water at a chosen spot.
I was not the fisherman on this occasion, although I have also used the same technique many times.
It works very well.
Wow, that way I think I would also have fun fishing 😀
Such a kind guy and he even gave him medicine to heal the wound - amazing 👏

Good evening Hannes,
Yes I did the same for a long time only without the bait boat, as I used my canoe.
It was great fun, but all things come to end maybe, as I still have all of my fishing equipment.
Except the canoe as a friend borrowed it and never returned it. Then he died and the canoe is gone.
You know what I will say here 🤣 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,
I know, you have told me a while ago about it when we were talking about the boring fishing sport 😂 !LOLZ
I don't like to lend things to friends, but not because I don't want to, but because it's so hard to say I need it back ... such is life, my friend 😉

Good evening Hannes,
Thank you for reminding me as it brou8ght some memories of the chat back to me 🤣 !LOLZ
So right as that's also my trouble. I also cannot ask for anything back and if somebody really needs something that I have then I will lend it to him. Then in my mind I write it off as a given as then it doesn't worry me 😁
Cheers and thanks.

Good day Zac,
we are visiting our daughter and so I am quickly replying on my phone while they are shopping for lunch.

Oh, modern technology in action! And for my favorite kingfisher special thanks.😃
Yep, in the old days we did things the hard way, but nowadays there are some amazing toys on offer.
I even have a new fishfinder in my cupboard here that clips onto a boat to show where the fish are in the dams.
A pleasure to post your favorite.

BEER.I do run a lax fishing community (this is Witty) and check in about once or twice a week. It's not a very highly used tag ( #fishing ) here on Hive, so it doesn't take much to keep up with. I do love a good fishing tale though!
Decent grass carp ya snagged into there! I for one, would not attempt to catch anything with my toe. My uncle was doing that in the front of the boat when I was a kid while we were fishing for crappie. A musky came along and snatched the little panfish he'd hooked into and dragged us several hundred yards with the anchor into the weeds peeling several layers of skin off of his toe. Still get the shivers from that one.
Ah! Okay, I will have a look and I don't post fishing often, but when I do then I will remember your site.
A pity that fishing is not popular on Hive.
That is an original carp and grass carps don't eat maize and their shape is different.
Wow! That must have been some experience and I bet your uncle was screaming all of the way.
Fortunately I keep my toe inside the boat and only use it to hold the line while I am taking it in with the boat. When I get to the right spot, then I take the line off my toe and drop the line with the bait into the water.
This is good fishing with a good catch) 🐟🐠🐡
Well done 🎣 👍🏻
I also love fishing. Only now, because of the war, I can’t go fishing, and in general to nature, for a walk.
I hope that the war in Ukraine will end and we will again be able to live as before, enjoy simple things, enjoy nature, entertainment, such as fishing.
Thank you for the finer points of fishing! This is great!
Have a nice day 🥰
Thank you and I don't post fishing often, but when I met this guy I decided it was too good not to post. I used to fish, but not anymore as now my hobby is photography.
So sad about this war and all of us here in South Africa are praying for the war to stop. Ukrainians are certainly brave people and I admire how they have stood up to protect their country.
I hope that you are safe and please take care.
