The Key to Catching Canal Carp

Apr

I saw this guy fishing in a canal (うんが) near my house. I could see lots of carp (こい) in the water, so I think he was trying to catch them. However, he was using a sinker (おもり) on his line, & when I asked him what bait (えさ) he was using, I didn`t understand his answer. I told him he should try using a ball of bread, & no sinker. A long time ago I easily caught a big carp using that method.

Did he understand my advice? I don`t know. Did he want my advice? Probably not.

I`ve never eaten carp. How about you?

Grammar:
- try to + [verb動詞] = __しようとする
- try + [verb動詞]ing = __してみる
