    吊蟹记

    昨日, F同学千里迢迢, 不畏DLR沿线均停的麻烦, 带着一堆捕蟹用具到我家附近的河流跃跃欲试.

    第一个尝试点在我家楼下的小河. 这条小河不能算是泰晤士河的支流, 顶多是个人工开凿, 然后从泰晤士河那里取水的小池塘. F同学拿出了塑料桶一只. 麻绳两捆. 诱蟹食物(bacon和猪肾)一袋, 以及捕蟹专用的网. 该网是圆筒形设计, 两边各有一个口, 蟹钻进去就别想爬出来.

    在对面练习风帆(sailing)的小朋友的注视下, 我们将大网渐渐放入水底. 小池塘居然也有五六米那么深, 不一会儿就看不见了. 我们等阿等阿. 过了二十几分钟, 迫不及待地收网, 一看, 什么都没有!

    F同学说, 上周他们也去了Greenwich附近的水域. 看着自己的小网在滔滔的泰晤士河里绝望地漂着, 最后也什么没捞到 - 除了一只小虾.

    接下来我们又去了中餐馆旁边的河域, 心想蟹出于对祖国的念想, 怎么也会来这里尝一下中餐剩菜的味道. 但依然. 一无所获.

    最后我们来到了泰晤士河. 这下网根本都沉不到河底, 只在水面漂阿漂 - 水流太湍急了. 半小时之后, 收网上来. 这时的我们, 只要是个活物就行了, 根本不指望蟹啦! 一看, 果然, 有猎物! 四五只透明小虾, 在网底黯然地躺着哩!

    BG把小虾养在透明玻璃罐中, 整天没事就盯着它们看, 好玩的来, 像个馋嘴猫一样:) 我觉得特别像齐白石画里面的那种虾, 爬起来一堆爪子乱抓的. 挺有意思.

    怎样才能抓住更多的虾呢? F同学说, "不如晚上你们弄个灯放到笼子里, 放进水里, 鱼阿蟹阿看到灯光都会过来的." 这是好主意哇! 但得先搞个防水的手电才行. 晚上我们去超市转了一圈.没有看到. 我出主意道: "不如拆了手电, 将小灯泡直接粘在电池上, 放进防水相机壳子里, 不就防水了么? "BG说:"那么麻烦, 看看有没有卖荧光棒的?"一转角, 居然是万圣节礼品通道, 我眼尖, 立即看到若干个荧光骷髅. 我们不约而同地说, 这个好!

    于是晚上我们的网里兜了一个发光的骷髅(蛮恐怖的), 放进了自家门口的小池塘里. 等着第二天看成果:)

    臭鸡腿,臭鸡腿!诱饵放错啦。chicken thigh,超市里最便宜的那种,据说越臭越招螃蟹喜欢(程度的把握取决于自己的忍受能力)。至少一刻钟以后起网,用了两次以后还要拿小刀划两刀让泡淡的臭味散出来。五米的水是稍微深了一点,海边应该螃蟹更多,反正波士顿外面据说满海底爬的都是螃蟹。一个下午的收获是两大桶。
