Fu Wan's last fishing trip was probably before she was ten years old. Back then, a few of us kids would often secretly take out the fishhooks and fishing lines from home, and pick out the fishing rods that looked the best from the bamboo forest on the mountain.
Tie both ends of the thread tightly, and use earthworms or sea snail meat as bait. Several teenagers can stay in the small sea ditch by the sea for most of the day.
Seeing this simple fishing rod now, she can't help but feel a little nostalgic for the past.
It's just fishing, let's do it!
Fu Wan took out the bait she had used for longline fishing, and then took out a few smaller sardines.
Sardines are cheap, so they're perfect for baiting the hook. She took out a small knife and cut a sardine into three or four pieces so she could hook it several times.
The fishing rod in Fu Wan's hand was made by Fu Laoda himself. Because it was made by himself, it didn't even have a float.
Fu Wan simply mixed the bait she had used for longline fishing a couple of times and threw some of it around four or five meters away to create a feeding area.
Ye Xiaocui then took Fu Ling into the cabin to rest. Jiang Chunlan also felt sleepy and tired, and really couldn't stay awake any longer.
Boss Fu originally wanted to sit on the deck and take a nap, but when he saw Fu Wan preparing to fish, he wanted to give her some pointers. However, seeing how skillfully Fu Wan operated the fishing rod, he realized that he had no right to offer any guidance.
"Ah Wan, are you fishing?"
"I'll give it a try too!"
Fu Ming had already packed his things and was preparing to rest for a while in a clean spot on the deck, but when he saw Fu Wan with a fishing rod, his hands started itching to try it too.
He had been sailing all day and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the fun of opening blind boxes after pulling up the fishing nets. So, he decided to skip sleep and just picked up the fishing rods provided on the boat to go fishing with Fu Wan.
Fu Wan hooked the sardine pieces onto the hook, cast the line, and then waited.
"Ah Wan, I'm going to take a nap for an hour. Wake me up when it's time."
Fu Laoda couldn't resist the drowsiness after all; his eyelids were drooping, so he decided to take a nap before setting sail back.
Fu Wan responded, but sat there for more than ten minutes without making a move on her fishing rod.
Ye Jianguo used up all of Fu Ming's bait in the afternoon, so he has to mix his own bait now.
"Ah Wan, I'm not bragging, but my fishing skills are unparalleled."
Fu Ming gave a self-aggrandizing thumbs-up, then fiddled with the bait in his hand for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as he cast his hook out, the fishing line was pulled straight the next second.
"Fish are coming! Fish are coming!"
Fu Ming was overjoyed, and he was smug as he reeled in his fishing rod.
"Wan, your luck isn't as good as mine today!"
Fu Wan was also a little surprised by Fu Ming's good luck today. "Why don't you pull this fish up first?"
Fu Ming gripped the fishing rod tightly and exerted force, but after a mere two minutes of stalemate with the fish on the seabed, the rod suddenly jerked up, the pull suddenly gone, and Fu Ming collapsed onto the deck.
"Damn it, they got away!"
The fishing line on the fishing rod was empty; there wasn't even a fish, let alone a hook!
Fu Ming was somewhat disheartened, but they still had quite a few spare fishing hooks.
Fu Wan was enjoying watching her older brother make a fool of himself when, before the smile on her face could even fade, she suddenly felt the string in her hand being pulled taut.
She suddenly yanked the fishing rod up, and it instantly bent over.
This confirms that there are fish pulling on the fishing line at the bottom of the sea!
"The fish is on the plate!"
"Brother, my luck just came a little late today, it's not like I had none!"
For Fu Wan, the Air Force was absolutely impossible.
Even if all else fails, she could jump into the sea and bring one back with her bare hands.
Seeing Fu Wan catch fish, Fu Ming was even more excited than if he were catching fish himself.
"Awan, stop showing off. Hurry up and play the fish to tire it out so it doesn't escape again."
The one that just escaped must have been a big fish!
Fu Liang and Ye Lin were asleep on the deck, but they were woken up by Fu Ming's excitement.
"Ah Wan, quickly pull the fish up and let's see what kind of fish it is!"
Fu Wan pulled hard, and after only two pulls, she felt that the fish below was quite strong. The fish must have been hurt by the hook, and now it was thrashing around wildly on the seabed.
Seeing that the fishing rod in her hand was bent by the line, Fu Wan dared not exert any more force. She could only play the fish in the direction it was going, occasionally letting out a little fishing line. She was afraid of angering the fish and causing it to break the line and escape.
"This fish looks pretty big, Wan, shall I go over and help you?"
Fu Ming stood on the deck of his own ship, stamping his feet in frustration. Although the two ships were not far apart, it was impossible to cross over directly.
"Dad, Dad! Wake up!"
"Get up and help!"
Fu Wan was busy outsmarting the fish and had no time to stop Fu Ming from howling like a pig being slaughtered.
"What's all the noise about? What's all the noise about!"
Fu Laoda was fast asleep, dreaming that he was floating around like a ghost. Just as he was about to beat up Shen Dongsheng, he heard Fu Ming's ghostly wails.
He frowned, about to give Fu Ming a piece of his mind, but when he saw his daughter holding the fishing rod, he knew they had been locked in a stalemate for quite some time.
Good heavens, this is a big one!
Now that Fu Laoda was no longer sleepy, he quickly went to Fu Wan's side.
"Ah Wan, do you need Daddy's help?"
Fu Wan was startled by Fu Laoda's sudden action. Taking advantage of the fact that the fish below had stopped pulling the line, she quickly handed the fishing rod to Fu Laoda so that he could continue playing the fish.
Anyone who has the labor force but doesn't use it is a fool!
After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, she was now covered in sweat.
If it weren't for the occasional wind at sea, she would have been sweating profusely.
Fu Laoda was an old guy with decades of fishing experience, and he was also a strong man. As he sometimes reeled in the line and sometimes let it out, after more than ten minutes, the fish got tired and gradually revealed its true nature.
Because of the fish pearl, Fu Wan could see clearly even at night.
"It's a Spanish mackerel, a blue-spotted Spanish mackerel!"
That mackerel probably weighed several dozen pounds and looked like a little piglet. Fu Wan quickly picked up the hand net next to her and reached into the sea to scoop up the exhausted fish.
Even though it was exhausted, the fish still struggled and thrashed about.
Fu Wan tried to scoop it up in the net two or three times but couldn't get it in. Just then, a big stick suddenly appeared from the side and hit the fish's head several times.
Fu Wan quickly scooped up the disoriented fish and, together with Ye Xiaocui who had thrown a stick nearby, pulled it ashore.
Seeing the fish thrown on the deck, Boss Fu wiped the sweat from his face. Everyone on both ships woke up and realized they weren't dreaming when they saw the fish.
"This fish is really good, Awan, well done!"
Boss Fu picked up the knife next to him and bled the mackerel, then quickly put it into the fish basket to freeze.
Fu Wan was still not satisfied. Seeing that there was still time, she picked up the fishing hook and bait and cast the line again.
