There was plenty of bait on the boat, but the "Sailing Against the Wind" was too high, so the fishing wasn't very effective. Therefore, the fish and shrimp they had prepared as bait in the morning were basically not used.
Fu Wan picked out several piles of shrimp from the bucket. These shrimp were about the size of her little finger and were all rotten, shiny-skinned shrimp.
The small shrimp were not easy to string together, so Fu Wan thought for a moment and went to find the prawns that had been hauled up in the trawl net earlier.
These prawns were either missing their heads or only had half a tail left; they were damaged by the trawl nets and were kept for their own consumption.
She poured out some prawns, intending to use them as fish bait.
Ye Lin watched her series of actions and immediately became interested.
"Ah Wan, is this some kind of new fishing method?"
They had never used such large shrimp as bait before.
Fu Wan smiled mysteriously, "It's not a new fishing method. I just want to try and see if I can catch a tuna."
She had never been to this area before, but judging from the surrounding environment and the water depth, there might be tuna there.
The haul from a night at sea wasn't particularly impressive; we didn't lose money, but we didn't make a fortune either.
To make money, you still have to deal with in-demand commodities like tuna and yellow croaker.
Upon hearing about tuna fishing, Ye Lin's eyes lit up.
"Then I'll give it a try!"
Fu Wan naturally didn't stop them. Fu Qing and Fang Min also found a fishing rod. Fu Haishun and the others got up early and were still yawning after finishing breakfast.
Seeing this, Fu Wan simply told them to go and catch up on their sleep.
"Brother Haishun, you guys go and rest for a while. We'll keep an eye on the trawl nets!"
Fu Haishun thought about it and agreed, so he went back to the rest cabin with Fu Daniu.
Fu Jinshui and Fu Mancang slept for a long time last night, so they weren't sleepy.
Seeing that Fu Wan and the others were fishing, they also dug out a fishing rod to join in the fun.
Just as Fu Wan had baited her line and was about to cast her line, she suddenly heard Dong Haiyang calling her name.
"Boss, boss, come here quickly!"
Fu Wan frowned, handed the fishing rod to Fang Min, and hurriedly went to the helm room.
Tong Haiyang was shouting so urgently, could something have happened?
However, when Fu Wan ran to the helm room, before she could speak, Tong Haiyang pointed to the radio station.
"Boss, someone inside is looking for you."
Thinking it was something serious, Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Hello?"
"Haha, it's me, Awan!"
Fu Ming's familiar voice came through the radio, and Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the excitement in his tone.
"Bro, why are you so happy? Let me guess, is it because the internet crashed?"
"Hehe, you guessed it right."
Fu Mingle proudly boasted, "Awan, let me tell you, these blue-spotted mackerel I have online are all mackerel, weighing nearly a thousand pounds!"
"Ah Wan, how about I give you a few to try for lunch today?"
Fu Wan sighed helplessly at her brother, "Our two ships aren't far apart. Have you ever thought about what might happen if we end up on the mackerel?"
"What? You guys also got the mackerel! And it's a blue dot?"
Fu Wan responded, "Yes, it should be over a thousand catties. Besides mackerel, there were also quite a few red sea bream. Overall, the harvest was not bad."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming's excitement vanished. It turned out that Fu Wan also had so many blue-spotted mackerel. This was his first time leading a team out to sea alone, and he had originally wanted to show off to Fu Wan and Boss Fu.
As a result, Boss Fu went to take a break, and Fu Wan wasn't very happy.
Noticing Fu Ming's disappointment, Fu Wan shook her head and comforted him with a smile, "I just finished breakfast and am going fishing to digest my food. I'll go swimming later to find the sea ironwood for Sun Youjin. Do you want to come with me?"
"What, you want to go into the water?"
Fu Ming's disappointment vanished instantly. "Let's go together, A-Wan, take me with you!"
He's still reliving the thrill of diving for gentian grouper yesterday.
Fu Wan didn't mind bringing him along at all; after all, he had a diving suit and oxygen tank, so he could dive however he wanted.
"Okay, then you rest for a while, and I'll call you when I go into the water."
Fu Ming happily replied, "Rest is out of the question. I just woke up. You're fishing, so I'll try my luck too."
Who knows, we might get another Bluefin Tuna?
Fu Ming put down the walkie-talkie and ran away. Fu Wan thought for a moment and then dialed Fu Liang and Chen Balang's channels.
The Forward and Fully Loaded Return are not particularly far from the Ride the Waves, probably only a kilometer away at most.
Fu Wan contacted them to ask how their haul had been that night.
The results were alright. Fu Liang caught a net full of pomfret, mostly white pomfret, and two nets full of other fish. Chen Balang caught some Chinese mackerel and nearly 500 catties of black-eyed ribbonfish.
Not only that, Chen Balang went squid fishing with lights again last night, and after three hours of hard work, he pulled up more than 400 catties of squid.
And they all looked quite good, which made Fu Wan very eager to try this trick tonight.
The haul from the other ships was decent, and Fu Wan was very satisfied.
After putting down the walkie-talkie, she noticed that Dong Haiyang was looking at the radio station with great interest.
He'd never seen this thing on a ship built at the shipyard before.
However, once on board, Dong Haiyang knew what he should and shouldn't ask.
This thing looks difficult to handle, so he should ask fewer questions and focus on sailing.
Fu Wan noticed his confusion, but didn't go into details about the radio station's origins, as they weren't that familiar with it yet.
Stepping out of the wheelhouse, Fu Wan looked up at the Sailing Ship not far away.
Sure enough, several figures appeared on the deck, clearly indicating that Fu Ming and his group were also preparing to fish.
Going out to sea on a boat is actually a very boring job. All you do all day is haul in the nets, eat, and sleep. If you don't find some entertainment, it can drive you crazy.
There aren't many other forms of entertainment on the vast ocean, so fishing is one of the most direct and interesting games.
Fu Wan returned to the deck to continue fishing.
The line for tuna fishing needs to be long. Fu Wan cast out several hundred meters of fishing line before turning her head to look at Ye Lin and the others with a bored expression.
"Wow, Brother Lin, you've already caught the fish?"
"Hehe, we've got Shi Jiugong."
Ye Lin smiled happily and handed the bucket at his feet to Fu Wan.
It is indeed a stone, entirely rose-red, and looks extremely dangerous.
Fu Wan took a closer look and saw that the poisonous spines on the fish's back had been removed, which put her at ease.
"Brother Lin, you're a seasoned sea fishing expert now."
"Haha, it's alright."
Ye Lin was flattered by the praise. After chatting for a while, Fu Wan's fishing rod suddenly sank, and she caught a fish!
She quickly reeled in the line. The fish had a very strong pull, and Fu Wan battled it out for more than half an hour before it finally revealed its true form.
"Damn, a golden gun, it really is a golden gun!"
It was a yellowfin tuna weighing at least fifty pounds.
Ye Lin was even more excited than when he caught a fish himself, and quickly picked up the iron hook next to him.
Fu Wan remained calm, but just as she was about to pull the fish out of the water, her composure shattered instantly.
A gaping maw emerged from the water and bit down hard on the tuna's tail.
