Chapter 201 Fish School
At first I used some earthworms and other insects to fish, but all I caught were the more common fish here.
"This is sea bass, this is Spanish mackerel, and small yellow croaker is quite common here and not very valuable, only a few cents per pound."
Lian Laodi introduced: "But if you encounter a large number of fish, it can be a big harvest if there are a lot of them."
"Our boat is small and can't go further, so we don't have the luck to encounter such a large school of fish."
The fish they catch with their fishing lines are basically the common marine fish.
While taking pictures of the sea, Song Wei simply used a small sea bass that he had caught as bait.
I feel like those earthworms are too small to attract big fish.
After just a few minutes, she felt a tug on the fishing rod in her hand.
The rod was bent into an exaggerated arc, and the fishing line even made a buzzing sound.
Everyone on the boat immediately looked towards her.
Song Wei's body was not affected by the pulling feeling at all, and his hand holding the fishing rod was able to move with ease.
This made Father Lian very confused.
Logically speaking, this kind of pulling feeling should mean that it is a big fish, but looking at the relaxed look on this girl's face, it doesn't seem like it.
Song Wei held the fishing rod steadily. She did not dare to exert any force for fear that the rod would be pulled and broken.
Today's fishing rod technology is not as good as that of later generations.
Finally the fish got tired, and even Dad could vaguely see the beautiful red color emerging from the sea.
He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and moving closer. Although the fish was not caught by him, he became nervous.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, take your time."
Song Wei really wanted to say that you look much more nervous than me.
But she kept steady and soon the fish was caught.
"It's actually a grouper!"
The grouper was definitely the most beautiful fish they caught today.
The beautiful red color and the stars all over it make it very festive.
Because of its festive color, rare species and tender meat, the price of grouper is relatively higher than other fish.
The fish Song Wei caught weighed about 7-8 jin. He carefully lifted the fish up, and the excitement of the father and his son was visible to the naked eye.
"This is weird, why is there a starfish here? This shouldn't be the case."
Even Dad was circling around the grouper.
Even the old man's son said, "Maybe he was chased here by his natural enemies."
Although they are near the sea, the sea is quite deep.
Occasionally there are some deep-sea fish below.
But if you are unlucky, you won't be able to catch any fish.
"This fish must be put in the hold."
There is a cabin on the ship, which is filled with sea water and the grouper is put in it to prevent it from dying and becoming worthless.
Ever since Song Wei caught a grouper, good luck seemed to be coming to them.
From a distance, Father Lian saw something swimming quickly on the sea in the distance. Lin Zhen, who had better eyesight, said, "It looks like a school of fish."
Hearing his words, the old man and his son were suddenly shocked, and they asked their son to take out the net without caring what kind of fish it was.
"Hurry, hurry, get ready to catch the fish!"
It’s not easy to come across a school of fish.
Fortunately, there was a spare net prepared in the boat. The father and his son took out the net skillfully, and when the school of fish approached, they excitedly cast the net down.
When they were pulling the net, the heavy weight almost pulled the two men off the boat.
It was Song Wei and Lin Zhen who helped and pulled the net up.
With the addition of Song Wei and Lin Zhen, pulling the net became particularly easy. However, at this time, Daddy's mind and eyes were full of the school of fish, so he didn't notice it. He just quickly put the fish in the net into the cabin and continued to lower the net.
"It's yellow croaker, a school of small yellow croakers, hahaha..."
One net after another, each net probably weighs about two hundred kilograms.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But after the third net the weight was noticeably lighter.
The fifth net only caught about 80 kilograms of fish, but among them there were two particularly large and ferocious fish.
"It's the sea wolf fish. These yellow croakers must have been chased by the wave fish. This fish is very fierce."
Sitting on the boat, looking at today's bountiful harvest, even the father and his son were so happy that their eyes were narrowed.
“Hahaha…Thank God for Mazu’s blessing today. I didn’t expect to run into a school of yellow croakers.”
After they were happy, they both realized that they had caught so many fish in the net, but they didn't feel exhausted so far.
How strange!
But they also remember the help from Song Wei and Lin Zhen.
"Today's bumper harvest is all thanks to you. I'll give you some of the money after we sell this boatload of fish."
Lin Zhen and Song Wei really helped a lot today.
Fishermen are quite superstitious. This group of yellow croaker appeared after Song Wei's grouper was caught. Even his father believed that it was the grouper that brought them good luck. In addition, the two of them also helped a lot when catching the fish, so they were embarrassed to eat so many fish alone.
Song Wei waved her hand: "That's not necessary."
This kind of thing is hard to distinguish. The boat originally belonged to the Lian family, and Old Man Lian had already promised them that the fish they caught would belong to them. It would be a bit shameless to ask for the yellow croaker instead.
"If you really want to thank me, Uncle Lian, just give us some fish to take back and eat. And I would like to ask Uncle Lian to invite us next time he goes out to sea."
When she was fishing today, the heavy feeling of joy from the harvest was quite satisfying, and she liked it.
"Okay, okay, next time we go out to sea, I'll ask my daughter to tell you guys."
Because we were in a hurry to process and sell the fish on the boat, this voyage ended.
The old man and his son were driving the boat back in a hurry. While collecting the nets they had cast earlier, they actually saw a lot of yellow croakers on them.
It seems that the group of yellow croakers ran towards this side and bumped into us.
In addition to yellow croaker, there are other fish, which are all common species here.
